HANGING KATHERINE
This story was not passed down, copied, or enhanced in anyway shape or form.

One night when I was alone, of course it was a little bit stormy, I felt something starring at me from behind. When I looked around, nothing or no one was there. So I went back to playing my game on the computer.

It happened again a few minutes later and this time, my heart began to race, warning me that there really is something behind me. I turned around and I swear I saw something run down to the basement. I just stared at the stop where I saw it. I just figured it was my imagination running wild. A few minutes later, my cat came in and jumped on my lap. She started growling at the air! When I looked down at her, her eyes were blood red and her ears were pulled back. Her tail was twitching like crazy. Soon, she jumped down and left. I had no idea what was going on that night.

Around 3:30 in the morning, I heard a little voice singing. It was extremely faint, so I could barely hear it. But it began to get louder and louder. It was a little girl's voice singing,
"Ring around the rosies. Pocket full of posies. Ashes, ashes. We all fall down." The little girl came into focus a little bit. But she was a rather faint glow than a figure. It looked like she was skipping rope, while she was singing ring around the rosies. Then she made up a little rhyme.
"Hello my name is Katherine Loften. I skip rope often. I love my mommy and daddy, but I wish they loved me." Then she stopped skipping rope and looked down toward the ground. I closed my eyes and it was like she was showing me what happened to this house back in the 1800s.

The only part of the house that was there was the basement. Katherine walked outside and I followed her. She went up and hugged I guess her parents. She ran over and picked some flowers and gave them to them. Her dad put a bag over her head and tried to smother her. I jumped at him but flew right through him.
Then her mom grabbed the rope out of Katherine's hand and tied it around Katherine's neck! Then they tied the other end of the rope to a tree limb and let go of her.
I think she was already dead because she didn't move at all. My eyes began to water, then I closed them and I was back in my own time zone. I ran outside and on the tree limb was a piece of string.

She was hanged by her parents.

About 3 weeks later, we moved about a 6th of a mile away from the house.

It's still a mystery why Katherine choose me to see what happened to her. But I'm glad she did.


HAUNTED CABIN IN IDAHO
Ok camping and I do not go together very well. But like always, my mom and her boyfriend go up to Lava springs in Idaho. I only got to come along once.

My mom's boyfriend has had previous marriages and all failed. Three of them have involved children. Adding them all up, he has seven kids. When my mom, my friend, my mom's boyfriend, and I went to Lava, we took five out of seven kids with us. Let me tell you that it was not at all fun driving in the car for 2 hours straight with them.

When we finally got to Idaho, it was another thirty-minute drive to the cabin. I have never been so cold in my life! There was still snow on the mountains and the cabin was on a mountain. I could not believe my eyes when I got a drink of water. There was so much iron in it, I had to let it run for like, ten minutes! When it finally ran clear, I discovered that there was purified water in the refrigerator. My friend and I were both hungry, so we started rummaging through the cubords and to our surprise, there was actualy food, not the healthiest, but there was food.

My friend found some twinkies, and she started eating them. I tried one too. Before I even bit into it, I noticed that there was a bug on it. It was a larvae. I yanked the one my friend was eating and showed her the inside. Larvae and eggs galore. My friend just stared at it and covered her mouth. Then she ran for the bathroom. When she finally came out, she was paler than off-white carpet. My friend, the little kids, and me, were the only ones in the cabin. The parents were outside trying to start a fire to keep away the mountain lions.

That night did not go by smoothly. My friend and I were up until three in the morning, trying to figure out why this house had such a wierd feeling in it. When my friend went to go to the bathroom, she came running from the hallway freaking out. She was shaking and had a scratch on her arm that was not there before. Her eyes started watering. I could tell she was shocked. When I went to see what was in the hallway that did that to her, I couldn't see a thing. It was darker than a black room without the lights on. I felt something staring at me from behind. When I turned around, I could see a human figure walking toward me. I just stared at it, shaking half to death. It got closer and closer. Then it said my name. I covered my eyes. It touched my shoulder and turned on the lights. When I opened my eyes, it was my mom, trying to give me a heart attack. I just told my friend to relax and go to sleep.

Well, sleep was not kind to us. My friend's dad, (mom's boyfriend) has a very bad nasal problem, in other words, he snores horribly loud. I was in a very deep sleep, when he began his horrifying snore. It was funny because it was like hearing a motor boat trying to start. He doesn't think he snores but we all know the truth. Well after I ignored his horrifying snores of no sleep, I somehow found a way to sleep.

The next morning when I woke up, it was so beautiful. The leaves on the trees were lit up and all different colors shown. After about an hour stirring trying to get back to sleep, I felt like there was something that wanted me to go outside. So I went outside. All the kids were outside and my mom of course was babysitting them. My mom and me chased them non stop. So finally when they were all away from us, we went for a walk. About 3/4 of the trail, we saw a huge mountain lion print. It was fresh too. We heard something coming from the trees about ten feet away from us and I swear that I saw something run passed us. My mom and me went up an old water trail leading straight up to the cabin we were staying in. It was time for breakfast when all the kids ran for the table and were fighting over who got what seat. We were all ready for breakfast when my mom's boyfriend came in and told us that we are all going down to his friends house for breakfast.

When all of us were in the car and driving away, I saw a couple with there kids waving goodbye. Maybe that's the feeling I had in the cabin. It was haunted, but not by evil spirits.

Either way, it was not a joyful trip back to Utah.
