Kinda of a long story, so bare with me.
It was my younger brother's 21st birthday and he wanted to go camping. So he decided to call his friends and some of our cousins. At first I didn't want to go but I'll miss out the warm burning sensation of the campfire. So I decided to go. Everyone worked on Friday until 4pm so we had to go when everyone got out of work. We went in 4 cars, 3 of which is smaller cars and 1 minivan. There was 14 of us 4 of which was girls and 10 of us was boys. We got done packing at our house and my dad was like, "you guys better not buy beer and drink over at the campground." And I said, "we wont." But you know guys, they disobey the OGs. So we got done packing and it was 6:56pm. By now you can see the sun is changing it's color and going to set. It wasn't until close to 8pm we got there. As soon as we got there I told everything that the first thing we need to do is set up the tents. The second thing is to start the campfire. So after we set the tents and started the campfire everything was good. Most of us stayed up close to 1am telling ghost stories. It wasn't until the campfire was low and I said "let's not put any more wood in." "I'm getting tired, so lets all go to sleep."
Everyone agreed and we went into the tents. So by now the fire was almost done and there wasn't a fire, just the hot sensation you can feel. We had 3 tikes surrounding our tents so that there could be no mosquito in our area. Everyone fell asleep as I lay there staring at the door of the tent. I just laid there thinking to myself what we should do in the morning. As time goes by, I'm still up staring at the door and making note that I could see the light coming off the burning tikes. I kept closing my eyes and eventually I fell asleep.
It wasn't long until I heard a long growl and moaning that woke me up. I laid there staring at the light again coming off the tikes. I thought that I was just hearing things. It sounds like its far away but when I listen closely, it sounds like its about 100 yards from us. The growling and moaning sound like an animal but I don't really know. It was like a long fainting growling and moaning. As I laid there I though about the times when my mom would tell us kids stories from Laos when my of our relatives went to the farm house and slept there. That night he had encounter something calling his name. He peeked out of the cracks of the farm house and saw there was like someone's shadow. But as he looked upward the trees, the shadow was coming from what looks like an owl. He shouted out loud and said that if he can shout throughout the night the owl must die. So he got his fire going and got out his opium bamboo thing and every time he smoke he would shout so the owl knows he didn't fall asleep. It went on for hours and as morning came he won and the owl died. He went to check and the owl was laying on the ground, he took the owl cut it up came back to the village and gave a piece to everyone in the village.
Lol onto my story now. So i was scared and I got really paranoid and couldn't fall asleep. It went on for hours and than eventually it stopped. And morning came, I fell asleep and I woke up to my brother and cousins starting the campfire to cook breakfast. During the day it was pretty fun. We went swimming, played volley ball and went walking. After that day I ditch everyone and came home to sleep hahaha.
I don't know if anyone is scared like me but when I get paranoid, I just want to go away from there.
Thank you for your time.
