Cemetery Adventure from My Teen Years

Tweet

When I was about 14 I had a friend named BL. Her mom and dad had divorced and he took the two younger kids and her mom kept her. Her mom was an alcoholic and wasn't around much. BL might as well have been living alone. She and I used to spend a lot of time together. My mother was very overbearing and I liked time away. Her boyfriend, RW was a jerk but she cared about him and so so he and a friend and the two of us hung out a lot. We were into spirituality and the macabre. She and I got an Ouija board and scared ourselves with that. Then we started going to an old run-down military cemetery just out of town. It was small and had an iron fence around it. It being so rundown we could get through the gate easily. This one particularly late evening/early morning we went to the cemetery and soon after we got there a couple of girls showed up. They were college students. They explained their reason for coming and the four of us were intrigued. The one gal, Sharon, had come to visit her college friend, Lara. They had been asleep when Sharon began to toss and turn and was having a bad dream. She had woken up her friend and told her she had the weirdest dream. She had dreamed that three soldier's spirits had come to her, told her they weren't sure where their bodies were and needed her help. The spirits told her they wanted her to go to this certain cemetery and see if they were buried there. She had their names written on a piece of paper. They brushed off the gravestones and checked each name until they actually came across the three soldier's names. Sure enough, they were there. My question to this day is: were these two girls hoaxing us? Or did Sharon really have this dream? I have wondered this for 50+ years.
