Bonaventure

I've acquired the mood to disturb some ghosts. My roommates and I thought it would be a great idea to sneak into Bonaventure cemetery, which is known to be one of the most haunted places in Savannah. I knew if we went really late that it would be closed. And for some reason I didn't tell my roommate because I was just in the mood to get up and go.

The mission went from 2 people to 8. Turns out that their were a lot of people that were as curious as my roommate and me. So we got there with 2 full car loads and we spotted one security camera outside of the caretaker house. We searched on the sides to see if we could jump a fence and there was another camera by the parking lot. I personally wanted to just jump the fence on the side but it was too risky. I guess the cops have had a problem with people trying to trespass in the cemetery in the past so security is on high alert.

I had another great idea to follow the winding road around the cemetery to see if there was another way to get into it. There was this strip of road that was just filled with darkness and at the end of the road were lights so we were a little skeptical but we continued to walk towards it. As we were approaching the road I had a really bad feeling coming from my legs all the way to my chest. I just kept it inside but I was scared shitless! So we got to the middle and the pressure in my chest just kept pounding harder and harder. All of a sudden this car comes up behind us and we freaked out! There was a nearby house so we all ran to the driveway but security lights came on and their dog started barking. Since everyone was freaked out, I accidentally bumped into the car and the car alarm went off. I never ran so fast in my life since basketball season ended. After that whole thing happened a lot of people wanted to go home but I was being stubborn and didn't want to leave. But it was around 4 a.m. so I decided to just take everyone in my car home and call it a night.

Even thought we didn't get into the cemetery I still had fun. We do plan to go back there again because we are planning to scope it out during the day so we could find other ways to get in! Stay tuned.
