Creepy Geocaching Day
So recently, my friend Ben and I went geocaching in Burlington. For those of you who don't know, geocaching is when you take a GPS and hunt down small "caches" in the outdoors (Or indoors). You receive coordinates from the caches that people post, go to its location, and start hunting for the cache. Anyway, after we found the last of our 8 caches, we started to head back. All of the sudden, the walkie-talkies, which we had in case we were separated from his dad, starting to make noise. Although the connection was terrible, we could here that it was a young boy. We couldn't quite here what he was saying, but sometimes it sounded like "Help me!" or "Daddy, are you there?" Ben was freaking out, and was going to call the police, but his dad convinced him that it was nothing. I really couldn't go either way. As much as I knew it was nothing, and wasn't a big deal, it sounded creepy. The mystery was never solved, and we still don't know what happened. My bet is that it was nothing, but you never know...

... huh. Either you got pranked or you got haunted.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good idea to blog about. Maybe you should talk about geocaching. Geo meaning earth or land, cache meaning hide. Cache is French for hide.
ReplyDeleteCache also means a little box, usually filled with coins and other knick-knacks. At the beginning of the Civil War, many teenage girls fill little boxes with coins (Confederate ones especially), photographs of themselves, etc. and give it to their boyfriend who was going off to war. These caches would often be dropped when the soldier realized it was unnecessary weight, or would fall during battle. One of my hobbies is metal detecting, and often in the South you will find caches filled with old coins, etc. So I guess it is sort of like geo-caching, just not the same type.
