Cross Roads
A few months ago I went on a haunted tour to a old mansion a few hours outside of town. I went in with an open mind but nothing really happened to my tour group for the most part of that beside two things, both happened to me. The first one was I saw someone out the corner of my eye as we were walking from one house to another. The best way to describe him was like Slenderman, and in fact that was my first thought as I saw it. I am not sure if this is related to the actual rest of it or if I was just overexcited and seeing things.
The next thing that happened is kind of worrying me though. The tour guide had taken us to a crossroad and told us how funeral survices would take the coffin to the crossroad and if they were an evil person (like a murderer or something) they would walk around in a erratic pattern in the crossroad so that they spirit would get separated from the body and be stuck forever there. He also said that if you make a wish while standing on it the wish will come true. I shrugged and decided to wish that the woman I was swooning after would return the feelings I had for her. Then the guide informed us that making a wish would have made a bargain with Satan, and that in return for the wish we owe him our soul. Despite not being a Christian or anything really this still sent a shiver down my spine.
Weeks went on and I forgot about the incident until one day in class during an exam I heard whispering in my ear. It was like someone was whispering to me but no one was to the side I was hearing it. It was just faint enough that I couldn’t make up the words but I was plenty freaked out by it. I almost instantly remembered what the man had told me - I have sold my soul to Satan.
A few weeks after that I got woken up by my dog barking at my window (the dog was on my bed to the right, the window is to the left of my bed) and just before I was going to yell at him to shut up I heard breathing out the window. It sounded demonic to say the least. As if someone with his entire lung full of phlegm was trying to take his dying breaths. I slammed my window shut (I had it open since it is summer here in Australia) and tried to go to sleep ignoring it.
I have woken up to that situation a few times since then, each time it sounds a little closer. When I got partway through writing this I went to my room to get a pillow and on the way back I passed a mirror. Glancing into it I saw my reflection but with my mouth and eyes weeping blood, I’m probably just seeing things but that’s sure as hell what it looked like. I don’t know if I am just paranoid, losing my mind or what is happening but I am afraid that I have to repay my part of the bargain. All the scary things started to happen after the woman had started to date me.
Even if this is all my imagination I am still worried about the resting place of my soul, if I have one, and that it may be in bad hands. I do not recommend making deals with the devil.
