Full Moon Graveyard Haunt – Haunted House

This letterbox series is my version of something to thrill and chill. I hope you enjoy. This series may or may not be suitable for children. It is up to you. Please respect the cemetery and the loved ones buried there. All the letterboxes are “commando” meaning without baggies…please reseal and rehide carefully. The colors: Brown, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Red & Black using markers and chalk will enhance the stamps. NOTE: I am handicapped, so I used my car to move around, but you athletic types can use your feet….IF you dare.

THIS is the first Full Moon Graveyard Haunt mission, if you dare to accept it. Find the Haunted House with the Admission Ticket to all the Full Moon Graveyard Haunt Series; The Haunted House, The Boogie Man, Heads Will Roll, Let Me Bite Your Neck, Trick or Treat, Tell-Tale Heart, Scary Movies, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly in eight different cemeteries.

___________________________________________________________

Clues:
It is dark and eerie. Something is telling you to go back before it is TOO LATE. But you need this admission ticket. You have to find the house!!! You drive into the entrance and turn right (EAST) and park in the little parking area on the right with the rocks on the corners.

Box #1 It is dark and something grabs on to you with a hard curved hand!! What!! You reach around and feel…… Eeeeek maybe it’s a hand…but there is NO BODY attached to it!!! It pushes out of your car and then you feel a brittle finger in your back pushing you…to the rocks on the EAST side of the little parking lot. You stop. It snaps and cracks and points the way…..to the largest rock. It pushes you along to seek what you need underneath the ledge of the large rock with sod and pebbles covering it.. OMG it’s alive!!!! Please replace pebbles and sod.


Box #2 Whhoooooo goes there? Whoooos got the nerve to tramp around my den? I dare you to find me. Whish……. something turns your head toward…the NORTH along the road past the Rules & Regulations sign. You hear flapping and turn and look at the…three trees on your left (WEST). You hear a rustle of leaves…at the third tree. Another whish and a touch of a something on your cheek turns your attention TO the first large bush on the WEST side of the tree. Look inside. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!


Box #3 Your flashlight goes out…..and you hear a faint whistling just over your shoulder ….Is it the wind? Wheeeeeee….”Follow the whistle” …Wheeeeee…. it says. Your fear paralyzes you but have to find the house. You turn…..toward the whistle and go NORTH on the road until you see a big book. Stop and listen. Wheeeeeeeee…..wheeeeeee. Now it is over to the right and behind the book …you move and face shadows that move….AND grow…..Aaaaah…. get out of here before it’s too late. Aaaaaahhhhh!!! But wait…you hear another whistle…behind the book on the SOUTH corner of the ledge far enough back away from accidental eyes. You got it!!!! Now to get the heck out of here ALIVE!!!

Box #4 You see a light radiating something past the Resurrection sign. Your screaming turns into silence….Could help be coming ….OR something more sinister? You try to hide behind the skinny little tree on your left (WEST) but you realize you are not hidden..so you run NORTH looking for another place to hide. Slowly you look up and see a multi-trunked small tree or huge bush…..and try to fit inside it….EGADS NO….PLEASE…. NOT ME…… As you look EAST you see lights getting BRIGHTER as you look EAST toward the three Cedar Trees(light tan bark) across the road. You crawl EAST across the road on your the belly to the middle Cedar tree. You see the hole about three foot on the WEST side of the tree where the light is showing. You scream….IIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!! ……….someone’s trying to kill me!!!!! PLEEASE cover with sticks and pry the big stick back into the hole that is holding it there.


Box #5 Rattle…rattle….twittering in the rain….clacking and banging…driving you crazy. It makes you want to dance….it is driving you insane! You twirl around and find the office along the road. The clattering stops…then starts again….your brain can’t stand it…you have to stop it. You have to find where the noise is coming from AND stop it before it drives you stark raving MAD. It STOPS. Whew!! You decide to sit down on the white bench .....that is now just a rectangular slab on the ground......across from the office and rest your ears. Suddenly it starts again really loud!!! You head is vibrating around and around and around and stops looking at the sign for customers WEST across the road on a tree that says "Please no Parking on Grass" and wonder if the intended customers are those who ride in the back of a hearse!!! IIEEEE!!!! Your neck hurts. And you stretch it toward the left of the sign where you see one big tree and then further on, you can see one that looks like a little Christmas tree. Maybe you will find the culprit hidden near the ground on the WEST side of the Christmas tree. You find it but it seems to be stuck, you free it and it tells you of several murders by hanging right here in the cemetery and advises you to leave before it is too late.

Box #6 You feel a mist floating by and it is beckoning for you to follow it. You follow it…SOUTH along the road. The mist envelopes you and you feel different somehow. You don’t know what it is, but you know it is EVIL. It scares you to death and you feel a wetness in your pants...better get to the bathroom quick. Luckily there is a porta-potti on down the road. ****** Note: In the late fall, they take down the porta-potti, so you will have to look for a bare piece of ground on the right side of the road that is almost a perfect square.***** You get there just in time. Then the mist closes in and moves you toward the bush that is WEST of the porta-potti. You feel pressure against your hand moving it to WEST side in the middle of the bush. It gives you the clue to find a bonus box and releases you from its hold…THANK YOU!!!
