3 Disturbing True Summer Camp Horror Stories

[Music] [Music] in 2010 I went to a summer camp called Camp Ernst that my parents signed me up for thankfully it was with my best friend Keith so I wouldn't be going there not knowing anyone the camp was for two weeks and it was the typical setting you'd expect to see in those old summer camp horror movies like sleepaway camp there were two big cabins where the girls and boys slept respectively there was also a big lodge type building with an activity center dining hall and other amenities and then various other smaller buildings scattered throughout the camp Keith and I stayed up later than all the other kids because we wanted to play on our Nintendo DS's together it was reaching the deep hours of the night past 2:00 a.m. we were still playing des together that's when the door to the cabin opens panicking we both through our DS's under the pillows and pretended to be asleep footsteps moved around the room from Keith's bed over to my bed then the footsteps stopped in my bed and for a short moment I felt the ever so soft feeling of someone breathing down my neck then the footsteps moved away from my bed and back to the door before the door shut I looked over to Keith and said that was scary especially since whoever that was was breathing down my neck we went back to playing on our DS's that's when I got a text message on my phone which read why are you two still up those of us who had cell phones were given a list of phone numbers of the camp counselors who we should call if something were to happen but that number didn't belong to any of the counselors not that I knew of at least a texted back saying who is this they never responded though I told Keith who didn't have a cell phone and he was just as freaked out as I was obviously it had to be a counselor or so we thought so we went back to playing on our ds's with the screen brightness all the way down we both heard the back door to the cabin open we looked at each other and once again through our DS's under the pillows there were no more footsteps though suddenly my phone vibrated there was another text message from the same number it said it's councillor Toni come outside to the back of the cabin I have something to say to you I told Keith and he said it sounded way too suspicious then we both wondered if whoever this Toni person was was the one who just opened the back door I got off the bed and took a few steps to the center of the room where I could get a view down the hall to the back door there was no one in sight so I walked down the hall a little bit Keith didn't approve when I got closer to the back screen door of the cabin I realized there was a little section of wall that caved in and in that little opening there was someone hiding I got a little closer realized it was not a camp counselor but some really old creepy looking man who was about the same height as me I ran back to my bed screaming help waking everybody up it was at that moment that I heard the back to our slam shot a camp counselor came rushing inside through the front door and I told everybody what just happened the counselors went around the whole campsite searching the perimeter for anyone matching the description I gave it was a big place surrounded by forests though it would be impossible to find someone what still doesn't make sense to me is how that man got my phone number my best guess would be he somehow found a list of phone numbers that the counselors had made but how did he know who I was I still dream about this experience every now and then I was just 13 it was my first and last year at a teenager summer camp which was basically a traditional summer camp for teens aged 13 to 16 the place had some history though an old woman who worked on the grounds died from reasons not disclosed to the public the old woman was one of the former cafeteria workers miss Graham well I'll keep this short it was one of those nights that my brain just hated me and was basically telling me you're not getting any sleep tonight I was rolling from side to side in an uncomfortable cot as everyone else was fast asleep the full moon made for a bright night beams of light literally poured into the room from every window I was so far from tired that I just felt defeated i sat up and rubbed my eyes and when I opened them again I noticed the light from the window straight across for me was blocked by something I gasped when I saw what was blocking the light it was a person's head it looked like an older woman with a red cap on what the hell is this lady doing I thought to myself it didn't really hit me hard until I realized the woman was looking right at me like her eyes were locked onto mine when I saw this I flipped on my side and pretended to be asleep or maybe I just wanted to hide under the covers like a baby I gave it a minute before I dared look back at the window she was gone I breathed a sigh of relief the room seemed darker now though something wasn't right I looked up to the window right above my cot and three feet away from me at most there was the same older woman in a red cap looking straight down at me once again I covered myself with the blankets and cowered in fear I don't know how long I stayed like that before I actually fell asleep because the next thing I remember is going to one of the adults running the camp and telling them about the woman with the red cat he looked at the two women who were also in his office and they looked back at him with disturbed faces one of the women said that's so creepy that sounds exactly like Miss Graham as she said that my heart skipped a beat to this day I don't know if what I saw at that window was a real person if it was in my head or if by some off chance maybe it was miss Graham out there I'll never forget the time I went to a sleep away camp in Pennsylvania I was a little kid at the time and I was very shy meeting all the other kids at the orientation on the first day was a scary experience for me I'd rather be home playing Super Nintendo or something some of the other kids made friends pretty quickly I thought I wasn't gonna make any friends but luckily some really outgoing kids started talking to me early on I can't for the life of me remember his name though so I'll call him Mike Mike was a short blond kid who always wore a Yankees hat I thought he was the coolest kid at the time but looking back now I realized he's probably one of those kids who turned into a punk troublemaker in high school during the tour of the campgrounds the first day Mike and I picked up on a lone Punk building that looked like it had been abandoned and unused for years we asked one of the counselors what happens he said he had no idea it was his first week work in there all he knew was that it hadn't been used for years on the last night of camp we were in our bunks everyone was getting ready to go to sleep Mike came up to me and whispered something in my ear he wanted to sneak over to that abandoned bunk just for the fun of it and see what's inside I wanted to seem cool to Mike since I for whatever reason looked up to him so why I agreed when everyone was asleep we went outside and kept close to the bunk we waited until the lights and the counselors bunks were out which wasn't long since it was already late then we ran down the pavement leading through the counselors bunks towards the abandoned bunk building my heart was racing the whole time I wasn't built to be doing mischievous things like this not at that age at least Mike led the way until we were by the door of the abandoned bunk the front door was boarded up which is one of the reasons why it caught our attention initially anyway so we had to go through one of the windows which wouldn't you know it there was one that was completely busted open already we climbed into the abandoned bunk now these buildings were pretty big they weren't little shacks like you might be picturing each bunk had room for at least 10 campers this one was no exception Mike and I stood in the dark bunk it was kind of cold in there we had our arms out in front of us to make sure we didn't walk into anything I walked into a bunk bed numerous times and I heard Mike doing the same I stopped to listen to what Mike was doing and I heard bouncing on one of the beds stop messing around I told him I assumed he was hopping up and down on one of the old bunk beds but Mike's voice came from the complete opposite side of the room as I remember he said That's not me I thought that was you we had nothing to use as a light source so we were in a pitch-black room in a building that hadn't been used for years and all we heard was the sound of someone bouncing up and down on a squeaky mattress needless to say we freaked out and ran for the window we entered from it was tiny though so it took a while to get out while I was waiting for Mike to get out the bouncing sound stops there was a loud thump sound whoever was bouncing on that bed must have jumped off I jumped up to the window and as I crawled through I felt two hands grab onto my foot and tried to pull me back in but I was already out the window we ran back to our bunk and locked the door we contemplated running to the head counselors bunk to tell them but we figured we didn't want to get in trouble yes looking back that was a stupid decision but we got through the night okay and went home the next day living to tell the story another day [Music]
