Rachel E., Mechanicsville, Virginia, July 2000
My family and I moved into a rental house in Mechanicsville, Virginia when I
was 15. The house had just been built by our landlord and we were the first
occupy it. But my experience, however, happened in our backyard.
Our backyard was basically just woods and it had a trail that the
neighborhood kids would cut through before our house was built and they
still used it from time to time. It was around 1 AM and my friend Allie and
I were outside on the deck getting ready to light some left over sparklers
from the 4th of July when we both looked up into the woods and saw two red
eyes staring right at us. From where we stood, about 30 feet away, the eyes
were about six feet off the ground and they moved down the trail toward my
house. As they moved we heard the crushing sound of dirt beneath it and the
eyes moving in synch with the sound of the footsteps. There was nothing else
to see but these lights moving in the darkness. After about 10 seconds we
ran inside just as my sister was coming out to join us and we nearly knocked
her over. We told her what we saw and she didn't even want to look outside
to see if it was still there.
We tried to make sense of it, of course. The red light from these "eyes"
looked like the little red light that laser pointers produce. And at that
time, almost every boy in my high school had one to annoy people with. But
in order for that red light to be seen, it has to bounce off of something,
like a blackboard. There was nothing in the woods that night but bushes and
trees and these lights were moving. And since we wanted complete darkness
for our sparklers we didn't have any lights on inside or outside the house.
We even turned the TV off before going outside. So it couldn't have been a
reflection. These lights had nothing behind them, under them, or in front of
them. These lights, moving and all, were just two lights in thin air.
Two nights later, my sister was in the upstairs bathroom and came running
out to tell me she saw something out the window in the backyard. She told me
she saw a bright, white light, about the size of a quarter, moving
horizontally across the yard in the woods. It wasn't on the trail, but
moving across our property from left to right. She said it disappeared when
it reached the end of our property.
I finally decided to go into woods the next day to see if I could find any
evidence. Because if something was walking out there the night before it
should have flattened the bushes or something like that. But nothing was
there. We never saw anything else after that. I believe all three of us saw
the same spirit.
