Another one since I have an hour between classes.
"She's still there dad...she's still there"
A while back, my dad, our uncle, my younger sister, and two cousins(our uncle's sons), went night fishing after a little celebration for one of my aunt who got her Masters in Heath Administration at their house. After dinner, my uncle and my dad decided to go night fishing for crappies at Oxford Dam on highway 16(some says its called Lake Hickory or Catawba River) in Catawba County, North Carolina. Keep in mind, many, many people have drowned at this very place, especially Hmong people. They left after everybody packs up to go home. My little sister and two cousins decide to tag along and off they all went.
Here's a picture of the dam when it's peaceful.

They didn't tell me what time around it was, but it was dark so I would guess about 10pm-2am. They weren't there very long, but what they've seen, became a very long night. My dad, uncle, and the three kids arrived at the place and camp their gears on the rocks below the building(everybody's fishing spot). My uncles has one of these underwater LED fishing light lamp and he set it into the water and they start fishing. After a while they didn't get much so they decided to pull out the lamp and turn it off. Now they're just chatting and fishing for fun before they leave.
That's when my two cousins, who were a little further from the group, packed up and rush back to the group. "Count, count, count." "There's only 5 of us, no need to count dummy." "Then who's that 6 over there?" Everyone look and right there, on the rocks near the water, about 30-50 feet away from them, was a little girl all dressed in black, her back towards them. My sister said that she was crouching near the water, about a feet above her legs, just searching for something under the rocks. Everybody's hair stood up and wanting to leave at that moment, but my uncle said not to leave or else she will noticed and follow them. So they continued fishing like she wasn't there all at. Suddenly, with her back facing them, she slowly backing up towards them...still, with her back facing them. She starts to get closer and closer to them...slowly.
..slowly...and
still searching.
My uncle shouted, "Ah fishes are not biting, maybe let's go to the other side and fish over there?!" He quietly told everyone to pack up. Then, my uncle dropped about 5 fishes they had and they all left the scene. My sister turned back to look because she's always the curious type. "She's still there dad...she's still there". "Shhh..shhh".They got into the car quietly and drove back home not saying a single word until they almost reached home. Hahaha.
