As we walked into the dark room, I could feel the mood change.
Zak grabbed his digital recorder from his pocket. He could tell I was terrified by this point in the investigation. I tried to stick close to him but it was hard to tell who was who in the pich blackness. The only light we had were the LCD screens on the cameras.
"Is anybody in here ?" Nick asked.
"Give us a sign, make a noise. Touch one of us" Zak demanded.
We all sat in complete silence for a minute or two. All of a sudden I felt something grab my hair and pull it.
"What the hell was that ?" I screamed.
"What happened ?" Zak asked in a paniced tone.
"Don't worry abou it, Zak. I just felt something grab my hair." I told him.
He grabbed a flashlight to see make sure I didn't have any scratches or marks on me. Nick quickly reviewed the digital recorder. He ran over to us as quick as possible.
"Zak, you need to hear this." He said. I could hear some worry in his voice.
"Oh shit.." I thought to myself. I placed my hands over my face to hide how scared I actually was. I didn't want the guys to know I was freaked out and ready to get outta there.
"Get your shit together" I thought to myself again. "Don't let them see how shaken up you are."
While Zak and Nick listened to the recorder, Aaron made his way over to see if I was alright. He could tell I was a little scared.
"First paranormal experience, Huh ?" He asked me.
"How could you tell ?" I asked, trying to sound sarcastic.
"Trust me, it doesn't get any easier" He tried to reasure me.
Zak and Nick made their way back over to where Aaron and I were standing. They told me I needed to hear what was caught on the recorder.
"You ready to hear this ?" Zak asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I said with a little laugh.
He placed the recorder close to my ear. It was hard to make out at first, but as I kept listening, it got clearer.
"Get the girl." The voice on the recorder said in a raspy voice.
If it could, my mouth would have dropped to the floor. I began to shake again.
"Do you wanna continue with us ?" Nick asked.
I shook my head yes.
"Can we just get out of this room though?" I asked.
Zak pulled me aside to make sure I truely wanted to continue with the investigation.
"You're really sure you wanna do this ?" He asked.
I hesisitated before I answered.
"Hell yes !" I said, trying to sound as confident as I could, even though I was scared shitless. I now had some sort of adrenaline rush after finally haveing a paranormal experience.
Zak handed me the recorder as we walked into the next room. Once we established what the room was excatally, he told me to start asking questions. We figured out that the room was a mourge.
"Oh great" I thought to myself.
"Is there anybody here?" I started off.
Zak and Nick started in with some questions as well. We all took turns asking, pausing to let any spirits answer. If there were any there. After about an hour or so of asking questions, we decided that one of us should stay while the others went to explore some more. I thought to myself that I shouldn't voulnteer to stay by myself after what had happened, but I put that thought in the back of my mind.
"I'll do it." I blurted out. There was an awkward silence after that.
"Are you sure you want to?" They asked simotaniously.
I giggled a litte and said, "Sure, why not?"
I could feel all three of them staring at me after I said that.
"Alright," Zak said, "If anything, I mean anything happes and you get freaked, scream and we'll come running back."
Aaron handed me his camera and they made sure I had the digital recorder and a flashlight.
"Remember, yell for us if anything happens." Zak repeated as they walked out of the room.
I took a deep brath and thought to myself, "Okay, show the guys you're not scared of anything."
I was lying to myself as usual. To tell the truth I had never been more scared in my life. I grabbed the recorder and began asking questions.
"If anybody is here, cand you speak into this read light I'm holding ?" I asked. As I sat there in silence I tried to think of more questions to aks. When I finally thought of one and was getting ready to ask it, there was a loud bang.
I was scared, but I didn't scream for the guyts to come back. I wanted to show they I wasn't scared.
"Did you make that noise ?" I asked, forgetting the other questions I was going to ask. It had been an hour or so since the boys left me by myself. After the bang, there wasn't much activity. I could hear the boys m aking their way back to the mourge.
"Zak ? Nick ? Aaron ? Is that you guys ?" I yelled.
"Yeah, we're almost there" Aaron yelled back.
"How was your first solo evp session in a mourge?" Nick asked.
"Amazing." I replied with a big smile on my face. "There was a bang, a loud one and I heard some voices."
"I hope your recorder caught everything." Zak said as he extended his hand to help me up off of the floor.
"I hope so too" I said still smiling.
