Ghost Camping

10/24/2023

Two young men in their 20s, Josh and Dan, went on a camping trip together in a desert in New Mexico. They didn’t take much with them besides sleeping bags, food and materials for a fire. After they cooked their dinner, they fell asleep as they gazed up into the starry night sky. The beauty and peace of the trip were short-lived, however. In the early hours of the morning, Josh was startled awake by what sounded like Dan’s voice, but frantic.
The voice said, “Come here, quick! Look!” Sleepy and confused, Josh got up to see what his friend was talking about. He heard again, “Come here, quick! Look!” It sounded unnatural; a perfect repetition. Josh took a few steps forward, and then someone grabbed him from behind. He turned around to see Dan with his finger in front of his mouth, warning Josh to keep quiet. They rolled up their sleeping bags and left. They still don’t know who—or what—was trying to lure Josh away into the desert.

How can you explain that and what would you do after? How would you leave? Where would you go?

Sergio Morales-3A-
Yea same, but I would probably never leave the house.

Shankle, A 1A

10/24/2023 01:34:24 pm

I agreed i would go to church and pray away the spirits. I would have holy water flick the water in front of my house door. I would never bring an evil spirit with me.

L Speed 1A

10/25/2023 10:25:30 am

I would do the same thing

E Martinez 1A

10/25/2023 10:45:19 am

I agree I would go to church to pray away anything bad attached to me

jadian rivers 7b

10/27/2023 01:47:31 pm

No seriously i agree with this because im the fastest goer homer ik, i dont play

J. RockwellI 2a

10/30/2023 10:20:07 am

i agree to going to church is a good way to get anything attached to them

Akyah Bethany 7b

10/25/2023 12:58:54 pm

I would be the same way, and give my problems to the lord/

kanye lombardo 7b

10/27/2023 11:26:50 am

Yea i feel you giving yo problems to the lord relieves unnecessary stress.

C. Deane 6B

10/26/2023 10:10:45 am

I agree, I would never go back because I would be scared.

N Smith 3a

10/27/2023 08:32:43 am

Yeah i would do the same thing

B Jasso 6B

10/27/2023 10:37:50 am

agree with you, i've found that praying does actually work, and doing that would make whatever that thing was go away and never come back.

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/27/2023 10:49:18 am

I would do the same.

N Parker 7B

10/27/2023 11:28:47 am

i agree with this statement but i willl not be scared i will come back with ammunition.

George Kessebeh 7b

10/27/2023 01:57:13 pm

Honestly i would have to go clense my soul after that .

D Davis 6B

10/27/2023 07:31:51 pm

I agree, I would want to cleanse my soul after that

Hernandez A. 4A

10/28/2023 12:00:34 am

This person can be correct about saying prayers in hopes of being safe from the danger.

L Vargas 1A

11/3/2023 11:41:06 am

Same that experince will make not leave my house ever again

N Smith 3A

10/24/2023 12:18:51 pm

I wouldnt know how to explain that and I would be spooked after. I would leave asap and I would go home

Sergio Morales link

10/24/2023 01:23:46 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-
Alright, just don't let it catch you alone on the walk home...through a desert....in the dark.....wait where'd your friend go?

L Speed 1A

10/25/2023 10:39:42 am

If my friends would have left me. I'm turning right around

A Bradley 6B

10/31/2023 12:37:15 pm

If when I was walking back and my friend disappeared, I would definitely be freaked out and start running for my life because it was just us, but now he unexplainably is gone. So obviously there is something else unwanted that was following us or watching us.

Shankle, A 1A

10/24/2023 01:38:10 pm

I agreed with what you were saying that you would be spooked because one of your friends didn't tell you what happened and what was going on. And you are very nervous trying to figure out the incident .

R Arpero 6B

10/25/2023 10:54:28 am

I would also do what you did

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/25/2023 10:30:19 am

I owuld do the same, not going to wait around for anything, if anything random knew my name, I would leave without wasting any time.

Hernandez A. 4A

10/28/2023 12:04:26 am

This student can be accurate about this response I mean people would think that I am crazy if I told them what happened.

Sergio Morales link

10/24/2023 01:14:55 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-Well if this was a monster mimicking Dan's voice, it doesn't quite make sense on how it would have gotten the frantic tone of Dan's voice. Because Dan probably never made that tone during their time there. Unless this "monster" had been following them for a long time. I was also initially thinking that the monster was Dan in the tent with Josh, and just faking. BUT the way the story says, the voice sounded "unnatural" and it was a "perfect repetition", makes it seem like the monster was doing it and not the real Dan. So anyway, I would just stay in the tent with my friend. Clearly the monster is afraid to take us both on so it won't attack us even while sleeping.(Not that we ARE going to be able to sleep. With the monster just repeating that sentence.) The thing is, if we leave right then and there it might follow us.(The monster being able to mimic voices, can maybe separate us in the dark.) So will just be wandering in the desert in the dark. So if we just wait till morning will be fine. Then we can just go home.

Shankle ,A 1A

10/24/2023 01:22:18 pm

Going out with my friends I would not go to the desert in New Mexico. I would have a car with me just in case something happens. I would have a car, tools, supplies, food, and weapons with me the whole time. After the incident had taken place, I would go home.

E Martinez 1A

10/25/2023 10:47:09 am

I agree I could have all kinds of supplies with me and have a weapon just in case there aren't any animals or preditors

C Da Silva 1A

10/26/2023 11:24:14 am

I agree about being prepared for anything. Having all those supplies will help you no matter the situation you are in. I also think that leaving would be a good option and reporting it to the police so they can investigate the area in case something else like that happens.

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/25/2023 10:28:39 am

I would go straight home as soon as there was light outside and not waste any time. I would hope that it is not following me home. I would also might bring more people to look at it later.

C Da Silva 1A

10/26/2023 11:18:50 am

I would leave right away as well. If i saw any sort of light in the middle of nowhere I would pack my things and get out of there. The best possible thing you could probably do when you get back home is to make a report to the police so they can investigate it.

M. Moore 8B

10/26/2023 01:58:40 pm

I somewhat agree, only because I think I would be in too much shock to report it to the police. Leaving right away is probably the best choice possible.

jadian rivers 7b

10/27/2023 01:35:15 pm

i totally agree with this statement because im very scary , i aint got time to fight for my life if i have a choice to run to safety .

M. Moore 8B

10/26/2023 01:57:18 pm

You're crazy wanting to go look out to see if you can find it later. Nuh uh, that could be something satanic or evil. You're crazy for wanting to wait and go back later that's like scary movie you could die kinda stuff.

C Valdez 1A

10/26/2023 10:57:32 pm

I agree going home is the safest thing to do after that. I wouldn't want anything to follow me to my home either so I would probably go somewhere else that's safe besides my home. I would make other people aware of what I heard and where I am resting in case something happens as well just in case.

B Jasso 6B

10/27/2023 10:46:32 am

I agree with you, it'd be very scary to hear someone say your name, and then you look back and there's no one there, i'd go straight home, and wouldn't go back ever

D Davis 6B

10/27/2023 07:35:21 pm

I agree with the first part, not so much with the last. I think I'd be too scared to consider going back

L Speed 1A

10/25/2023 10:29:50 am

I would just leave and go home and pray I don't need anything looking over my shoulder

Akyah Bethany 7b

10/25/2023 12:57:42 pm

I would do the same thing, pray because it's obviously out of my hands.

T Samuels 6B

10/25/2023 07:41:49 pm

I would also pray because I get the vibes that something demonic is going on.

N Parker 7B

10/27/2023 11:30:13 am

I agree with your statement i would most likely leave the area and never come back.

E Martinez 1A

10/25/2023 10:44:07 am

I wouldn't know how to explain it I would be a little nervous and scared because we wouldn't know what make the noise I would get all my stuff and leave and go home and pray nothing attached to me

R Arpero 6B

10/25/2023 10:53:59 am

I may have all sorts of supplies with me and have a weapon fair in case there aren't any creatures

kanye lombardo 7b

10/27/2023 11:30:20 am

totally agree with this, why would you not keep yourself protected in the wild.

T Samuels 6B

10/25/2023 07:40:34 pm

I would have done the same thing because if something had attached to them, it would have grown into a bigger problem.

N.Echeverria 6B

10/27/2023 10:49:05 am

I agree, I would also feel nervous and scared, and the more reasonable thing to do is go home.

R Arpero 6B

10/25/2023 10:53:04 am

Well in case this was a creature imitating Dan's voice, it doesn't very make sense on how it would have gotten the wild eyed tone of Dan's voice. Since Dan likely never made that tone amid their time there. Unless this "beast" had been taking after them for a long time. I was moreover at first considering that the creature was Dan within the tent with Josh, and fair faking.

K Jacinto 4A

10/27/2023 10:47:59 pm

I agree I think they both were hallucinating, and something out in the wild might’ve scared them.

Akyah Bethany 7b

10/25/2023 12:56:35 pm

The monster / ghost had to have been around secretly watching and was studying Dan's voice. I probably would try to do more research on what happened, because I am the type of person to want to know everything so I would investigate. I would leave quietly the same way I came. I would go back home.

Braeden Penson

10/27/2023 01:56:47 pm

I wouldnt even have left quietly at that point

K Jacinto 4A

10/27/2023 10:50:54 pm

I also investigated into a lot of the things I do that I’m not familiar with. But they probably didn’t and something might’ve happened there.

T Samuels 6

10/25/2023 07:38:17 pm

You could explain this as the friend playing a prank on him but I honestly think that it was a ghost. If I was in that predicament, I would immediately turn my flashlight on and start praying. After that I would star packing my stuff up with my friend so that we can leave. We would go to the vehicle that we came in and drive to the nearest gas station to catch a breath.

C. Deane 6B

10/26/2023 10:09:13 am

I agree with you I would leave to the car as soon as possible, I would say there was a ghost that night.

C. Deane 6B

10/26/2023 10:04:16 am

I would definitely get out of there as soon as possible. And I would tell everyone that there was someone or something out there other than me and Dan. I would make sure nothing was following us the whole time we were leaving. I don't know if i would go home, just because i wouldn't it to get into my house .

C Valdez 1A

10/26/2023 11:01:07 pm

I agree with everything you said I think getting out as soon as I could would be the best decision to make. Making sure people know what happened and that making sure nothing is following me is what I would do because I would want to feel safe. I also wouldn't want to my house immediately because I could risk being followed home so I think going anywhere else that could feel safe would be better.

N Smith 3a

10/27/2023 08:35:46 am

i agree with you but i dont know where i would go if i couldnt go home

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/27/2023 10:47:51 am

I feel like this is true but also no one is going to believe you.

M Contreras 6B

10/27/2023 10:39:38 pm

I would get up and get out of there so fast. And agreeing with what you said I would make sure no one or nothing follows us. However I wouldn't want to go to my house and be by myself.

C Da Silva 1A

10/26/2023 11:16:36 am

The only way i can explain that is that it was something supernatural that tried to lure him in. I would get in my car and leave as soon as i could back home and probably report it to the police. I would also never go camping again if something like that happened to me.

C.Scott 1A

10/27/2023 09:57:01 am

I feel like the police wouldn´t take you serious in this matter, and I don´t think no police are gonna go out there and try to find who and what told you to come here. They're probably gonna look at you crazy and think you on something and tell you to go lay down or some. I think you should speak with a specialist who is prone to those types of things ans seek advice on what you should do to keep you safe because I police isn´t gonna do anything unless you are physically hurt.

C,Ramirez 3A

10/27/2023 04:24:59 pm

I agree with you that something supernatural tried to lure him. It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened on camping trips. Honestly, calling the police wouldn't be a bad idea since they can look into it and then you yourself would feel more relief seeing that something is being done, even though nothing may come out of their investigation.

C Cofield 3A

10/27/2023 11:49:06 pm

I agree on the fact that this could be something supernatural occurring and in fact this would be my last camping trip. I would also most definitely get out of there immediately if I was in their shoes. On the other hand I wouldn’t talk to the police about it because I would think they wouldn’t believe a single word I’m saying.

M. Moore

10/26/2023 01:54:55 pm

A lot of people don't believe in mythical creatures or things that could harm you like vengeful spirts or a siren however I believe these things are real. I would explain this as being a vengful spirt or siren, I'm not sure how I would go about this situation, but I think I would want to get out as quickly as possible. I'd probably go home and hide under my covers or something though.

C. Scott 1A

10/27/2023 09:52:53 am

yea but hiding under your covers won´t do nun, what ever that was can possibly follow you home and you think it´s gonna be like ¨oh well they hiding up the cover i´m gonna leave them alone¨ get some a protective barriar around you a bible and some sage cleanse those devilish spirts away.

A, Martinez 6B

10/27/2023 11:28:43 am

Good response, but yes it could be an evil spirit but it could have also been a playful or forewarning spirit. And you must remember the spirit if anything just noticed you in the area it roams more than likly it would leave you alone as long as you don't directly interact with it or if its an evil spirit don't show fear or make it known that you are concerned because then your just empowering it.

C Valdez 1A

10/26/2023 10:52:46 pm

The way I would explain it was that something was trying to lure me out to attack me or my friend was pulling a prank on me. Either way I wouldn't want to leave noisily so I would stay calm and just follow my friend out. I would go to my friend's house or somewhere safe because I wouldn't want something to follow me home.

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/27/2023 10:34:02 am

Agreed going home would be kind of not smart because you don't know what you heard or see it and you could get followed home getting lured out seems to be the best explanation realistically to get robbed possibly.

A,Martinez 7B

10/27/2023 01:46:11 pm

I agree, I think the only way to escape is quickly and quietly.

C.Scott 1A

10/27/2023 09:49:49 am

I would take this matter into full matters because if something like that was to happen to me something is clearly after me and see me as a target. I would simply leave startled and shook´n up then I would go to church and book a 1 on 1 with a person who is an expert in what I would explain to them happened to me, because I feel as if that was a demon or a skin-walker, ask them what I need to do sage myself and my house, put some horse shoes up and pray continuously letting what ever that was be known I have Jesus with me and I am not afraid .

N.Echeverria 6B

10/27/2023 10:52:44 am

I agree with this I believe in this things and I would feel and do the same. I would go to church and pray and make sure I would be ok.

M Contreras 6B

10/27/2023 10:35:13 pm

Right, it is common to assume that someone is out to get you. Honestly I wouldn't want to be alone after that so i'd find someone to be with like a friend. Then pray and hope nothing else happens.

B Jasso 6B

10/27/2023 10:36:53 am

I Would pray and hope that whatever that thing was goes away, i'd be very traumatized and would never go camping again, because who knows if that thing will be back.

A, Martinez

10/27/2023 11:17:51 am

Although your response is resonable i think doing something like giving up camping is doing to much and if it is a spirit or demon your just giving it more power by fearing it.

A,Martinez 6B

10/27/2023 11:29:43 am

N. Echeverria 6B

10/27/2023 10:41:49 am

If I was in that situation I would not know how to explain it or understand what could be wanting me to leave the dessert. In that moment I would be scared and confused, and I would pack my things and leave the dessert and never going back there again. I would pray that it did not follow and getting home I would go to church and talk to a preist to bless me because I do not want negative energies on me.

A Bradley

10/31/2023 10:24:51 am

I agree with you because in the moment, I probably would be so scared and confused that my mind would go blank and I wouldn't think rationally even if I say I would think differently right now, it's different when I'm actually in the situation.

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/27/2023 10:45:18 am

I would be really scared and would probably run away as well. and also try and find some help but I know that people are not going to believe me so im going to be on my own.

Nox Sears 8b

10/27/2023 12:25:13 pm

No need to be scared. If it hurts you tell it. It cannot attach itself to you. It is not allowed it must stay there. I could be someone trying to cross paths

A, Martinez 6B

10/27/2023 11:14:19 am

There is alot of ghost storries and folk lore told around New Mexico and if the thing calling out to josh was a monster it would've been bad, but it could have also been spirits that planned to lead him somewhere whether it be bad or good. In all honesty if I was in this situation I would leave and get stuff to help me communicate to spririts and otherworldly things come back and wait i think it would be really intresting.

Nox Sears 8b

10/27/2023 12:23:49 pm

No, because I would do the exact same thing. I'd be like let's communicate with it.

Natalee Sears 7B

10/27/2023 01:21:32 pm

I would honestly do the same thing. To know what happened to that person when they were alive and to know why the haunt the area would be so cool.

C, Ramirez 3A

10/27/2023 04:16:11 pm

Honestly, it's a pretty bad idea to try and communicate with spirts. Like you said, you don't know if they're bad or good nor do we know if they're spirts. There are many things besides spirits in the world and it's better if we try not to interact with them.

Nicholas Parker 7B

10/27/2023 11:26:02 am

If it was me in this situation, i would have brought some type of protection since i am camping in the woods. They heard some sort of voice calling to them, i would not listen to the voice and leave immediately. There would be no looking back; i would leave everything i brought there except my car.

A,Martinez 7B

10/27/2023 01:40:56 pm

I completely agree I travel light as it is. There is no way I would stay longer to figure out what it is that called out to me.

A. Green 8b

10/27/2023 09:43:11 pm

I agree with almost everything in your comments. However, in this situation I think that it would be different if you were with someone and you heard their voice. However, I would also say that I would in fact be running as fast as possible as well.

C. Cofield 3A

10/27/2023 11:40:02 pm

I could agree 100 percent because mainly because if I hear something suspicious in the WOODS why go check it out. Secondly if you’re going on a trip to anywhere you know for a fact could be dangerous bring protection.

kanye lombardo 7b

10/27/2023 11:28:57 am

i would leave and not even take chances to be honest.

Braeden Penson

10/27/2023 01:44:04 pm

Yeah i would have left right after

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 8b

10/27/2023 12:22:33 pm

How would I explain that...well... one word. Paranormal. In the future me and some friends have always wanted to investigate the paranormal/ the after life. So what would I do is try to speak with it. Figure out what it needs/wants, but first I need to go get my equipment. Then it's investigation time.

Natalee Sears 7B

10/27/2023 01:25:32 pm

I have to agree with my good ole sibling here. I always found the afterlife very interesting. Getting to talk to a spirit and hearing their story is something so powerful.

A. Green 8b

10/27/2023 09:41:19 pm

You are better than me, because I know I would be running for my life if I knew it was something paranormal. However, I do think that it would be interesting to figure out what it wants. Maybe you could figure out if it has tricked others and where they are?

C Nwachukwu 7B

10/27/2023 11:58:44 pm

I'm not gonna lie paranormal investigation does sound kinda fun... as long as I'm not by myself!

Natalee Sears 7B

10/27/2023 01:28:33 pm

What I would do afterwards is I would do what I can to figure out what kind of spirit it is, communicate with it, and figure out if it is trapped there or if they were led there by a portal. I would leave to get any ghost materials and I would come back to get more information.

A, Martinez 7B

10/27/2023 01:36:02 pm

There is no way to know exactly who or what said that. It's creepy enough that you hear the voice of your friend in the distance when they are with you. I would quickly and quietly gather my things and escape to a far but safe place.

C Nwachukwu 7B

10/27/2023 11:57:21 pm

I agree, I would leave as soon as possible and not take any chances.

Braeden Penson

10/27/2023 01:42:49 pm

I would go to church immediately the next morning. I would also be baptized and find a church to attend every Sunday

George Kessebeh 7b

10/27/2023 01:58:59 pm

Honestly what could you do after that ?

George Kessebeh

10/27/2023 02:00:20 pm

To be honest you really cant speak on that because you litterally almost got killed while camping in the woods the most ironic way to die .

Sanchez 7B

10/27/2023 07:21:22 pm

Yes agree I feel like even if you did say something to someone they would not believe it.

D Lopez 3a

10/30/2023 10:45:28 am

I agree, no one would believe you with no proof

C, Ramirez 3A

After all that happened, I would go home. Where else would I go? There is no way someone would stay. There is no scientific explanation for it, so I would honestly just let it go. If I smelled it I didn't, if I saw it I didn't and if I heard It I didn't. I would make no effort to investigate what it was that I heard because at that point I am acknowledging that it happened. My tip would be that if you heard it you, no you didn't.

Honestly same I would just think of it as my imagination and simply move on

I certainly agree. I feel like going home and then trying to investigate it is pointless and a waste of time. In that particular situation, once I leave, all that knowledge of what happened is gone.

I would not stop thinking about it but wouldn’t go back for sure. I feel like it’s just something I would always from now and then think about. Although if it’s something that I will still hear even after leaving I will definitely seek for help and be spooked .

I would leave as quickly and quietly as I could. I would go to the nearest safe place, alert someone and go to Church the next day.

I disagree, cause church might not even be te next day. Also the spirit can stay with you as well, so you wont be able to run from it. The safest place is not even possible afte that situation. Maybe the most comfortable place cause it would make you feel as if your safe.

I agree, sprits can be easily attached to you by even looking at them , trying to communicate with them anything honestly. Trying to go to the comfort of your on home would be better in any situation.

I do believe in the supernatural, so there was for sure something trying to lure him and then he would have gone missing. If I was in that situation, I probably would be frozen if I knew that my camping partner was not talking. However, if I didn't know I would go towards the voice, quickly, because it sounds frantic and scared. I am very much a fixer so I would do whatever I could to figure out what was wrong, so I would definitely need the person to realize before I disappear.

I agree, because i am a curious person about alot of things. After i feel like i have been lured in im going to go for it. I would definitely be frozen to like what happened.

I would personally leave immediately and go home.I wouldn’t go out to look for what it was. When I get home I would pray and talk to someone about it. It’s not likely that I’d report it to the police to be honest, I’d just leave it alone. As long as I’m safe and got myself out of that situation.

I agree with this statement I will start pray that I make out ok

I would just leave and never visit there again. Also, to make sure the spirit doesnt follow me i would do some tpye of ritual.I would do it before going back home to prevent things from going on later on.

I would assume that someone is messing with me. Once i realize that it is not a joke, I would be really scared to leave. But I know that I would need to because I would not want to spend another minute in that place, and would go far away.

Diaz Z 1A

10/28/2023 10:55:12 am

I disagree, who would be playing a joke in the middle of the woods ? Unless someone followed them but that’s kind of crazy. I agree with the going far away part , but what if the thing or someone follows u back and it’s stuck with you.

What I think happened here was someone might’ve passed away here and it was their spirit trying to contact them. Or they could’ve just been hallucinating, I would be startled, and leave without trying to pacin, then I would drive away home pretty fast.

C Cofield 3A

Honestly if I were in there position I wouldn’t know how to explain it at all. Mostly because we’re in the woods and there would be many different thoughts running throughout my head at once. I would just try to go the opposite direction of the voice and navigate my way out with a weapon or something of the sort.

D.McGee 3A

I disagree with the "not being able how to explain it" because if that happened to me i would want everybody to know about it. How i would explain it, i would start with where i was at, the time it happened, and who i was with. I would say all that just to tell everybody not the be there or in that location so it wont happen to them.

I think it was some kind of ghost and I would just leave that place and never come back.I would get in my car and drive out of there.I would go back to my house.

I would be scared because there's no telling what's out there to get you. I personally would pack my stuff and leave as fast as possible. I would probably drive until sunrise or until I'm surrounded by a lot of people.

Diaz Zeneida 1A

If I was in that position I would have to stay put if you think about it, it’s already dark. In the dark a lot of scary things can happen so why would I risk my life to walk out that campsite? It’s obviously a supernatural thing ready to take him from existence. In that case I would tell the thing to go away and start praying heavily. As soon as I see the sun come up I would leave and never turn back.

i would go to a church and pray to the lord and pray for him to do something

i agree, i would also go to church and pray to make sure im safe.

D. McGee 3A

I wouldn't go to church but i would pray about it and do everything in my power to not let it happen to me again.

I would leave as soon as possible because who knows what might happen especially if your in the middle if no where in a desert.If i heard something or someone that was my friend and it wasn't him, i'm leaving immediately no questions asked.

A Bradley 6B

10/31/2023 10:22:27 am

I would try and get out the fastest I could, and then tel everybody that there was something there that wasn't me or Dan. I would be very cautious and watch my back to make sure nothing followed me and I probably wouldn't go to my house just in case it was following me.

L Vargas 1A

11/3/2023 11:27:11 am

If I were in this situation I would start to panic immediately because just looking around sensing the danger around me will make me think fast

D.McGee

11/3/2023 01:56:02 pm

I would be confused because if it wasn't my friend calling me and something from somewhere else i wouldn't want to spend another night in that desert. I would want to go home right then and there.
