Camping

Scotland Glasgow July 2004, five 16 year olds out camping in the woods. I was the youngest only had 2 bottles of cider. Around 2am, being rowdy within a residential area, the police came. We ran off in different directions. I was left with one other friend. I suggested we try and find the rest of our party at the camp site. We arrived at camp but no one was there.

I suggested that I stay at the tents whilst my friend headed out to find our friends. He agreed but said he'd only be away max 30 minutes to avoid leaving me there alone too long.

I tried to get some sleep. Before dozing off I hear a very clear, softly spoken voice which said "Go home". I had a look around but there was no one around. After searching the area with a force, I shrugged this off as a possible dream and tried to go back to sleep.

A couple of minutes passed and I heard it again. This time the voice was shouting, very loud in my ear. "GO HOME! GO HOME NOW!" I also felt an overpowering presence on top of me pinning my shoulders to the ground. I could not see anyone. After around 5 times of repeating itself, I shouted "Ok ok, I'll go!" It immediately stopped. I grabbed my things and left the site in a hurry and I went home.

My friend who had left did catch up with my friends and they headed back to the tents around 15 minutes later. They arrived to find the tents on fire.

They were terrified thinking I was still in the tents. They managed to put it out, finding burnt money, etc.

None of us smoke or had any equipment to light a fire.
