"How Dare You?"

On
Tuesday, October 11, 2005.
I am a 35 year old male and a recent
transplant to Denver. I’ve
always like getting out and walking and haven’t really found a place to
exercise in the 3 months that I’ve been here. A friend of mine
told me about Cheeseman Park and said it was a really good place to
walk. I went down on Tuesday and started walking the perimeter of
the park on the road. After walking all the way around the park
about 5 times, I started getting tired. I noticed a path that
appeared to cross the grassy area caused by foot traffic. I
decided to use the path to cut back to my car to go home. About
half way down the path, I hit what felt like a really cold spot and I
had this overwhelming sense of being sad then really angry. I
didn’t know what to think about it and just hurried on back to my
car. After getting back home, I started feeling really sick to my
stomach and light headed. I figured that I had over done it and
told my roommate that I was going to lie down. After sleeping for
about an hour, I woke up very quickly and found that I couldn’t
move. I felt like something really heavy was holding me down and
the only thing I could move was my fingers. I tried calling out
to my roommate but couldn’t speak either. At that time, I heard a
voice whispering into my ear saying “How dare you?” Over and over
again. I was yelling in my mind “Get the hell off of me!” This
lasted for what seemed like forever but lasted only 30 to 60
seconds. After that, the weight just seemed to disappear and I
was able to get up.
I really thought that I had lost
it. I came out into the living
room and even though I thought he would think I was crazy, I told my
roommate what had happened. Growing up in the Denver area, my
roommate proceeded to tell me this awful story that the park used to be
a cemetery and that there was still people buried there. So I
stared reading on the internet about it but didn’t find any stories of
other people having this type of experience. I’ve always been a
skeptic but after this, I really don’t think I’ll be visiting this park
anymore!
Thanks!
