The Smell of DEATH

Here is a story I would like to share.  I am from NW Indiana.  I went to Calumet High school, in Calumet Township.  Graduated in 1987.  A bunch of friends and I would go out every single Friday, while in our senior year, mainly because one friend, Lisa, got a car.  The thing we liked to do most was scare ourselves and that meant cruising through cemetaries at night.  It was a rise for us, but one night, we were stopped dead in our tracks and vowed never to do it again.

Lisa, Wendy, Emily, and I were getting ready to drive into the cemetary in Ridge Road, it was the Ridgelawn entrance.  The one thing we noticed right off the bat was that the gates were closed, it was more darker than usual.  We were mad, because it was such a Friday night ritual.  All of a sudden, her car died.  We weren't on a lonely road or anything, it was a main road, lots of traffic.  So her car is dead and would not even turn over.  She was going to get out and see what was wrong, but the door would not open.  It was an older car, the kind where you can unlock the door by pulling up the lock my the window.  Those locks were stuck.  She was trying to start the car and then at that moment, the car filled with the most horrifying stench, it was gagging us, it was like pure rot where you could not breath.  By then we were panicking, and I can still recall us coughing and covering our mouths as we were yelling for Lisa to try to start the car.  It lasted no more than 10 seconds.
 

Then, all of a sudden, her car started, the headlights were turned on and the rotten odor was gone.  She turned out of there fast and from that day on, we never cruised another cemetary.  After talking about what happened, we figured we were being told to stay away and stop bothering the dead.  We definitely stopped.

Chaos comment: Something didn't want you there that night. Strange odors like this sometimes happen in a haunting.
