This takes place not far from the first one. Maybe about a mile down the road. I had told this years ago here on ATS in the Supernatural Forum, but it
was on someone else's thread and I can't find it.
[ For Andyw513 - if you're going toward Hazard from Vicco and you cross the tracks there at Happy, it's the mountain on the right as soon as you
cross the tracks. ]
I was 15 at the time and my cousin and I got bored and decided we going to climb to the top of the mountain. Just something to do I guess. I grew up
roaming those hills and even though I haven't lived there in a long time, still know them like the back of my hand.
We started up a animal trail and it was steep. You ever climb/crawled up a hill ? Grabbing grass and small trees to pull yourself up ? Yeah. Like
that. We finally got to a part we could reasonably climb at the tree line and about 100 ft in we saw something weird. We came to a tree that the first
limb was a good 10 -12 ft off the ground and there were clothes across the branch. 2 full sets of clothes. A man's and woman's.
Not like someone had thrown them up there, they were neatly folded and draped across. I can see someone climbing it, but to shinny down naked ? If
you were a man you'd leave some important skin on that bark and I can't see it being any easier for a woman. And why leave your clothes up there
?
Being teenagers, we really didn't think about all that, we just knew there was a naked woman somewhere, so we kept going.
When we got toward the top, there was a flat space where there were no trees. Just a clearing with some short grass. My cousin was on my right as we
walked out into the grass and we were at the far right side of the clearing. I looked at him and he was looking past me toward the left side of the
clearing. He had a "what the hell is that" look on his face so I turned to see.
As I turned, my first thought was "bear" bobcat" or pretty much everything but what I saw.
About 50 - 60 ft away was a hole in the air. It was roughly 3 ft wide, 8 ft tall, hovering about 2 ft off the ground and black. When I say black, I
mean black as in the complete absence of light. The kind of black that you would see between the stars. Soul sucking, terrifying BLACK. The
edges were not sharp, kind of wispy, trailing off and undefined. Like it was melding into our reality.
I stared at it for about 10 seconds, not scared at all, just curious ...and then the terror hit.
Mind numbing, stunning terror. Have you ever been so scared your brain just freezes and even though you're screaming inside you can't move ?
When the paralysis broke...well, I'll say this. It took us the better part of an hour to get up there, it took 10 minutes to get down. By the time I
got to the bottom of the mountain, I looked like I had been whipped and beaten bloody. Running with tree limbs whipping at me, falling on sharp rocks,
rolling and getting back up to RUN. My only thought was to GET AWAY FROM IT.
I don't know what it was...but I have opinion.
After years of thinking about it, I firmly believe it was a portal. To where, I don't know. The Gates of Hell or interstellar space, it could've
been either.
But I have always believed in my heart that we were very close to being a Missing 411 case.
