"After a little while my friend sort of yelped out, "Oh! Jesus Christ!" I turned to see him standing next to the coffin (it's giving me full-body shivers just thinking about this) and it was open."
The following account was forwarded to me:
"When I was a young teen, there was a small forest fairly near our house in Red Hill, Worcester, England. My neighbour and I would walk to it regularly to go build dens and play in the park near its edge. The land was clearly once part of an estate because it had an old 1900s-looking swimming pool and bits of stone path dotted amid the undergrowth. We'd sometimes take other kids there and play chase games or pretend to be tribespeople, sprinting through the thick foliage. It was a fun place to explore.
Anyway, we'd been going there for about a year or so at weekends when we finally decided to take a big pair of garden shears to start clearing an area for our biggest den yet. We chose part of the forest that had always been blocked off to us because it was mostly surrounded by a thick wall of bamboo (overgrown from the place's time as an estate I think). The forest was a paradise just for us; we'd never ever seen anybody there other than us or the people we brought. Our dens were always exactly as we left them. But all the same, we figured cutting a secret way into the bamboo-walled area would give the best-protected den from strangers.
It took us most of the day to cut our way in. When we'd made an arch to crawl through, we went in to find that we were in a clearing with only clovers growing in it, no taller plants, just a soft blanket of clovers. Dotted throughout were these odd little knee-high statues of fairies sitting on stone mushrooms playing harps and other instruments. Every single one had its face smashed off. In the centre of the cramped clearing was a giant concrete-looking block. It was a giant rough-stone coffin. Moss covered most of it, but it clearly had a well-defined lid and a worn, unreadable inscription on the side.
Adrenaline-curious, we tried with all our might to lift the lid, but it must have weighed tons. The adrenaline wore off, and we freaked out and hurriedly walked back through to the play park where we sat and discussed our find for a bit. We decided the clearing was too den-perfect to pass up, so the next day we returned with some old metal sheeting and plywood boards to build our shelter. It wasn't raining, but the day was heavily dark and overcast, so the woods were about at the darkest they could be during the daytime. We got back into the clearing, started building, and got pretty far with it. After a little while my friend sort of yelped out, "Oh! Jesus Christ!" I turned to see him standing next to the coffin (it's giving me full-body shivers just thinking about this) and it was open.
The lid was slid off to one side just enough that a thin person could get through the gap. I ran over, stared into the gap, saw nothing but pitch dark, and whispered "Run!" The wind rose and it started raining, so there was noise everywhere right at that moment. I've never experienced anything like it. We ran through the wood faster than we'd ever practiced in our tribe games. We never went back into those woods."
Anyway, I went back later and everything was totally overgrown. Also seeing as I'm now 6'5" it was even harder to move around. I managed to find some of the landmarks but every path I remember leading to or near the clover clearing was now gone. I spent a few hours getting lost in there trying to find ways around the back of it, but unfortunately, it looks like it's gone.
Sorry, no vampires, but I can tell you it was creepy, particularly the way that the clearing seemed inaccessible and the fact that the coffin was there and that the lid had been slid open by someone or something!" D
