Shadows Near the Mortuary: A Story From Rancho Cucamonga
Summary
Josh recounts a terrifying childhood encounter with a haunted abandoned house and morgue in California, where he and friends experienced violent bangs and a mysterious growl. Years later, after using a Ouija board, he claims a tall black entity began following him across states, causing sleep paralysis and tapping noises. The haunting intensified when his girlfriend witnessed the figure, culminating in a physical handprint on her car that vanished only after he used holy water.
