I'm participating in Parajunkee's Spooky September Challenge! Today's writing prompt is the Spookiest Campfire Story I've Ever Heard.
I used to go camping a lot when I was younger with my family. I remember one time pleading with my dad to tell me a scary story. He obliged in his corny, dad way...it was a scary story with a joke ending, about a Wrap, Wrap, Wrap on the door...and at the end...it was...WRAPPING PAPER. *Insert eye roll*
However, one time at Girl Scout Camp, I remember a counselor talking about the "Fifth Dimension" (not the music group), and how it was said to be "out there somewhere" and that anyone could "just fall into it." A young scout with a vivid imagination pictured this black hole in the woods moving around like a spotlight waiting for unsuspecting victims. I'm sure I was afraid to get out of bed to even go to the bathroom that night!
How 'bout you? Do you have any good campfire stories?

I remember when I was a kid and hanging out with my cousins, about 12 or so of us crammed ourselves into my Aunt Annie's walk in closest and we made up this long, elaborate story, each taking turns. Depending on who was telling it at the time, it was gross, sick, scary, spooky, funny, demented. It made not one lick of sense... but I had nightmares of elements of that story for years.
