Burial
Ground Guardian
by John
This happened one summer out on Indian Point at the campground in Saint Andrews. I am about 50 to 75% Native Indian and know a lot about the area around Indian Point as my grandparents told me stories. Just in back of the campground there is what elders say is an ancient burial ground. So, of course, I was telling my friends about it, and we got the bright idea to go and buy a Ouija board and see if we could not get in contact with an ancient spirit. We all pilled into my friend's Camaro and headed out to Indian Point.
When we got there, we parked the car just outside of the woods at the back of the campground. We were the only ones there. We walked aways back into the woods until we came to a small clearing, which I figured was just outside of the burial ground. We cleared an area, started a fire and started to play with the Ouija board. We were only there for about an hour talking to what seemed like a pleasant spirit. All of a sudden, something else decided to talk to us. It kept saying, "Leave now or pay the price."
I didn’t pay any attention to what it was saying and kept asking it some questions. Just as I was about to ask it another question, I looked into the treeline where the burial ground was suppose to be and saw these glowing red eyes that seemed to be getting closer with each question that we would ask. The others had their backs to what I was seeing, and as I was looking out past them, one of them asked me what I was looking at. As I was about to tell him, all hell broke loose! This thing came leaping out after us, half running and half what seemed like flying across the clearing.
I put the fire out and we all started running toward the car. We all piled in with this thing only a few hundred yards from us. As we took off down the dirt road on our way to the main road, it was still following us at what seemed like a greater rate of speed. As I was looking out the back window, I noticed that it was in full flight about 50 or so feet above the car. We worked our way out of Saint Andrews, breaking all of the speed limits, headed to our friend's place in Saint Stephen out in what we would call the back woods or the sticks.
We made it to his place in record time and the thing was still with us. As we pulled into his driveway and stopped the car, we felt this lurch, as if someone had run into the back of the car with another vehicle. When I looked out the back windows, there it was perched on the back of the car like a bird. It sat there for what seemed like hours. When I looked back out the window, it was gone. We all pilled out of the car and headed straight to his house. We didn’t want to stick around to see what it wanted with us.
I can remember to this day what it looked like. It must have been about 5-1/2 to 6 feet tall. It had a huge wingspan and was gray in color. When we went out to the car the next morning, there was a lot of damage to the car where the thing had been perched. The back spoiler of the car looked like it had been crushed, like something had a huge grip on it. There were also what looked like claw marks in the side of the car, which was really depressing for our friend who had just spent a small fortune to have the car painted the week before. We took pictures of the car for proof.
I have since lost contact with my friends, as I am the only one still living in this province. I few years ago, I was looking through an old book that had a bunch of pictures and stories of weird things that have happened in our province over the years. As I was looking through the book, I came across a picture of the thing that was chasing us. It had no name, but it mentioned that this thing was a guardian spirit that was placed there to protect a very sacred place.
