It's about 11 years ago.... When I was 11 years old, I used to play in forests close to my home and my mom always stopped me for going there she never allowed me even once, and she didn't even know how crazy I was to discover the Elfin Forest AAAH! Actually we were living in Orit near the Elfin Forest in California.
So let me tell you the frightening and creepy past of this forest....
The community of Elfin Forest sounds like it belongs in the world of Tolkien, even though it lies just southwest of Escondido in San Diego County. How fitting, then, that it is crawling with tall tales, myths, and stories of haunted spirits and goblins. Legend has it that gypsies used to occupy Elfin Forest in the early 19th century, until nearby townsfolk drove them out and slaughtered those that remained behind. The gypsies exacted revenge by cursing the forest and all its surrounding lands. People claimed to see all kinds of eerie apparitions, like a floating woman dressed in white, a cloaked spirit riding a black stallion, and mysterious footprints.....
Well
These all were the stories that my mom told me and i always considered them like stories' nothing real because i never believed in these type of stories..... And I don't think anybody could believe in it too even like spirits of goblins slaughtering people, seriously how stupid…!
But...
A couple of days later I met with the worst and scariest experience that changed my life my thoughts and everything, it was Thursday night I made out with my friends, and we all were playing truth and dare and when it got on me they all dared me to visit the raven house.... actually there was a motel at a little distance and next to the motel there was a little path that leads into the forest if you follow it long enough you will eventually get to a house that was called raven house of the forest because once a lady lived there and as the saying of locals she used to perform creepy rituals with the ravens and their blood... but as you know i never believed these kinds of stories that time and according to my rule I didn't believe this piece of shit.
So they started telling me the rules for my safety, and I was just laughing... so I had to knock on the door three times, then turn around and walk back the same path. I had to walk, running was not allowed. And even more important: during the entire walk back I was not allowed to turn around even once. I found that a bit creepy but anyways I started my dare, I went to the forest and I reached the house but to be honest, the walk to the house was already pretty scary I didn't expect that because I was usual to it but I didn't know why everything was not like that like before.
In the middle of the night the forest is anything else but quiet. There were sounds coming from the bushes, twigs breaking, animals creeping slowly through the under bush...
And not to mention the eyes which were going to start seeing strange things, my rational side wasn't quite as pronounced when I was an eleven-year-old kid but I managed to reach the house and then I knocked
once
twice
A third time
noting....
I was so relieved, I turned around the hardest part was done so far so good.
But.....
Then I heard the door opening behind me, I was completely scared I didn't know what to do now I was just standing and not turning around.... but suddenly I heard a sound from the back that was calling my name not once so many times my name got called and during this the whole forest was silent there was just a voice behind me calling my name and you can imagine how scary that would be as standing in the center of forest in the night alone outside the most scary house and your name is getting called from backside.... oh god!
So I maintained somehow standing there I was so sure that a hand would come and grab me and spin me around, only for me to look into the most terrifying face on the Earth...
My childhood died that day in the forest, let me tell you.
But I didn't turn around,
and also didn't run,
and until this day, I swear that there was someone standing there in the doorway, just watching me. I could feel his eyes on my back.
I mentioned that I had to go back on my own so my friends were waiting for me at the edge of the forest. I was so terrified, when I reached at the edge, only to be overwhelmed by pure terror once more shortly afterwards, because I was alone... all four of my friends that came with me were gone, I was so sure that the creature, the ghost, or whoever lived in the house, got to them before I did. He got them instead of me. The thought of that was so terrible that i immediately started crying and my tears came out and within my tears my friends suddenly appeared from somewhere, actually they were hiding in the bushes so that they can watch me more, and they were laughing at me, so I was not able to do anything i told them to shut the fuck up and dont ever talk to me, I quickly went home...
So that was the first time in my life that i actually felt something scary and creepy and the most important something real.
And you can say this was start of something that was out of this world! and until now whatever I experienced whatever I did after this in my 11 years of life I am gonna tell you each and everything....
