The Gates
And so the story begins.
The story behind The Gates is that a serial killer murdered his wife and three children. He buried his three children each under a different gate on his property. The three gates are off the road which has since become half abandoned. The first, second and third represent the eldest child, middle, and youngest. The story goes that if you sit outside the second gate (which is partially under ground) in your car with the window down and lights on, you will hear footsteps.
Thinking this was complete bullshit, me and Wayne tagged along with Pat to see the supposed 'Gates' and so we rode along...

Once there, we sat outside the second gate and waited. True, it was a scary dark abandoned road, but still me and Wayne were a little more than skeptical...

However moments after the car came to a complete stop, there were distinct cracking of sticks next to the car. Pat floored it and we got out of there ASAP.
Being the smart people we are, Me, Wayne, Whalen, and Lydia returned the next night. However this time, things went worse. I brought my camera to take pictures, which I would not recommend. It took about a dozen shots to get one to come out. The flash would go off but it would show up black. However after I while I did get pictures....







After I put the camera away, we realized just how much we pissed whatever it was that was out there off. Suddenly we heard a loud noise coming at us. I floored it and could hear the wheels turning but we actually started getting pulled back. We were in the middle of the road yet werent moving. Once the car started to move forward we booked it. The next day my car was acting odd so I brought it in to get fixed. Then I find out that ALL the tires were shot and the treads on the back were gone. We have no idea what did that to the car, but it wasnt no rock.
We returned only once more, last night. This time the players included Wayne, Andrew, whalen, Cotter and I. Cotter drove us, however it was still light out and the birds were still awake. We waited to no response. And so we shook all three gates... which superstition says will give you bad luck for a year.
....we shall see.
