What eerie stories are shared around the campfire?
That evening we all gathered around the campfire, passing around snacks and trading random jokes, when my friend settled in across from me. Normally, he was one of the livelier folks, always laughing, always ready with a comeback. But that night, his face looked drawn and he kept tapping his foot on the dirt like he was working up the nerve to say something. I waited, because whatever had him on edge was no silly ghost story. He started by explaining a bit about his LDS mission. how it covered a broad area including a reservation that he didn't visit often truth be told none of us were expecting more than a mild anecdote then he let slip that this reservation region had an eerie reputation among the locals we all went quiet even the ones who'd been whispering or fiddling with their phones Something about his tone felt heavier than any cheap campfire tale.
He cleared his throat and told us about a day he and his companion had to travel far out of their normal route. They met some new investigators who wanted to learn about the faith, and that part went smoothly. The real trouble started after, when they discovered they were nearly out of gas. Nobody was around to help, so they sat there in a stretch of nothingness until someone finally came by with a spare can of fuel. by the time they were on the road again the sky was dark and the roads were almost deserted he paused to stare into the flames recalling every detail it was late and his companion had fallen asleep in the passenger seat my friend had one goal get them both home as fast as possible He even admitted to pushing the speed limit.
He figured the biggest worry was wildlife or a stray deer darting across his path. But that changed fast. He said that while driving along these unfamiliar back roads, he kept spotting movement in the edges of the headlights. At first, he brushed it off, probably coyotes, maybe a raccoon. Then something shifted right next to his window, much closer than he expected. he glanced down thinking he would see an animal scurrying by instead he slammed on the brakes practically launching his companion forward against the dashboard his companion jolted awake with a startled shout demanding an explanation All my friend could manage was, pray, right now. He wouldn't, or maybe couldn't say why just yet.
Instead, he forced the car forward again, driving the rest of the way in tight-lipped silence. His companion kept pestering him, but my friend stayed locked on the road, acting like if he spoke, something worse might happen. He made it back to their apartment complex with nerves in shreds. Once they were parked, his companion cornered him. That's when everything poured out. He had glanced down to see several figures, human in shape but sprinting on all fours, running right beside the car, somehow matching his speed at 40 miles an hour. He insisted he wasn't joking. they weren't animals or some optical illusion though part of him wished that's all it had been we were all dead silent around the fire the only sound was the pop and crackle of burning wood that image six or so people galloping alongside a moving vehicle was too bizarre to dismiss I almost expected someone to laugh and call it a prank, but no one did.
The look on his face told us he was dead serious. He went on to say that this was only the start. Even after that night, he couldn't shake the memory. It hovered in his mind every time he drove those roads again, and apparently, future visits to the reservation area would bring more encounters. But he saved those parts for later. At that point, he was wrapping up what he called the late-night detour. I don't think anyone blinked until he stopped talking. Eventually somebody tossed more wood on the fire, but the mood around it had changed. We all felt it, an uneasy sense that maybe there are things out there best left unexplained. The night grew quieter, and we sat there a long time, wishing we could forget the image of those shapes pounding the pavement on all fours, keeping perfect pace.
