Interview Final

Driving down a lonely unpaved road, by only the dim lights of the car and the full moon, may sound like a normal night but on December 2, 2008 this drive was far from ordinary for three local high school students. Imagine driving home scared for your life, with no one around, and mysterious people wandering the roads, this is what these teenagers went through.

Meagan Moore, her brother Jake Moore, and their friend Sam Farnum were traveling home from a late night Student Council meeting on the dark back roads in between the small towns of Ranchester and Dayton, Wyoming.

Keeping the ride interesting as always Farnum decided to tell a spooky story. Meagan retold the story during the interview saying that Farnum spoke about a cult that lived on the outskirts of Ranchester near the area where they were traveling. This cult lived there in the late 1970’s wearing shapeless clothing and sporting short hair cuts. During the time of the cult two people disappeared on a night of a full moon around the beginning of December. These people were supposedly killed by the cult the night the two victims vanished.

Being told this story Meagan thought that Sam was trying to scare them, not knowing what was to come. Driving home in her stick shift, red, Cabriolet Volts Wagon Meagan decided that it was her turn to do the scaring. With Sam riding shot gun and her brother in the back seat she decided to speed up. Traveling fast on the dark windy road Meagan put her car into the highest gear.

Meagan, being a Ranchester resident, knew the road well. She decided to make it seem like her car was dieing right around the area where the two people were abducted by the cult. In this section of the road there is a steep hill, using the landscape she knew exactly what to do. Keeping her car in a high gear she went up the hill. This made her car go slower and slower the higher and higher she went up the hill. Getting to the top she said to Sam that the car was dieing and she didn’t know what to do. As soon as she said this Sam’s face went white as if he just saw a ghost.

Behind Meagan on the side of the road stood two people dressed in all white standing with their backs to the road. Having passed all the houses and nearest roads Meagan was puzzled why they were out there. The car was now about to die and was chugging along, Meagan couldn't think of what to do so she let out a loud scream. Only being lit up by the moonlight the two white figures were hard to make out.

Then suddenly one of the people slowly turned around and stared at Meagan, Sam, and Jake. He took a couple of steps forward like he was coming after them. Panicking, Meagan slammed the clutch down and shifted into a low gear just before the car died and sped up the hill.

These three were scared and didn’t know what their next move should be. Having been told Sam’s story only minutes before the shadows were spotted they were led to believe that these they were the ghosts of those two people who were supposedly murdered by the cult years earlier.

Meagan, Sam, and Jake are the only known people to have seen these ghosts, but being told this story makes it hard to not believe them that they saw these figures.
