A scary campfire story is told by friends around a fire in the woods:
Enter the personal journal of the most infamous researcher in the world, unfortunately this was the only thing recovered after that night.
My name is Kristian "Rave" Kage, & I am writing this entry from the Tombs in Ancient Egypt. The date now is Oct. 31st 1938 and even though it's
tradition for everyone to trick or treat or hand out candy on this day, I've got other things to do like tell my story. You see I've been hot on the trail of an ancient cursed mummy. Legend has it that every Halloween this mummy returns to life to walk amongst the living, and with the clues I've been finding after unearthing this tomb I'm starting to think it isn't as much of a folk tale as it could be an honest tradition.
I'm including a few pictures into my journal to capture this amazing journey and here's the start.

I first came among this clue a few days ago, you see. I was wandering about the shadowy halls of this underground tomb, and I just felt drawn to this area. Boy, it was a good thing I remembered to bring the camera & tripod on this trip. Anyway I'm getting a little off topic! You see to the untrained eye this may not look like much, but those things drawn on the walls are called heiroglyphs & to those of us who can read them...well there was something here to study. On the right you see a long string of drawings which seem to indicate the directions on how to mummify royalty in this life so that their body will not decay & thus they are in tact for the afterlife. The picture to the left seems to show a human in the process of this amazing feat.

I was exhausted of this trip I just wanted to go home to my family, but once I found this clue I couldn't let it go. I got some snacks in my system and decided I was ready to take on this challenge. I effortlessly followed the clues throughout this hauntingly beautiful string of catacombs. Torches lit the way, spider webs clung to the wall, & there was just too much noise to be comforting in a place where everyone was supposed to be dead. I'll be honest it was eerie to say the least, even for a woman of my stature who had been through worse places before. But I couldn't turn back, so I kept pushing on & as luck would have it, I came acrossed the next & most important clue.

I stared at the clue, I had never seen such images before. I was puzzled to say the least, and after what started as a short walk had turned into a few days journey through this winding maze I was ready to give up. But I had another day before Halloween & could still make it home to my family if I just figured this out in time. I dropped my sleeping bag here, and lit a torch. I jotted a few things down in my researchers notes & admittedly drew a few pictures toying around with what the images could've meant. Finally it hit me that almost winged looking figure on the right was a person dressed up in ceremonial robes for the mummification. The thing it was pushing was the sarcophagus, the mummies final resting place, and lastly the image to the left was the mummy itself. I thought to myself what all this could mean since it was all moving to the left I decided to have a look over there. It just now struck midnight and was Halloween I was just in time. I raced over to the room the picture was pointing toward.

This had to be it. The doorway seemed to cast illumination outward throughout the entire room, I'd never seen anything like it in my life. I was in awe, I decided that I would set up here and wait for the mummy. It was sure to be around this area. While I've been waiting I'm writing of these last few days in my journal, making sure to document every part of this excavation of these ruins. I'm now hoping these ruins won't be the only thing uncovered. I hear a strange noise, it seems to be coming from the glowing doorway......

There he stands, he's magnificient isn't he? I'm sorry my handwriting is so sloppy I'm literally shaking at the moment with exhileration! I'm going to be the first to uncover anything like this.
Back to the campfire:
The journal entry ends there, but there were a few more pictures left. The pictures are passed around to the friends of the campfire.

The mummy that had so obviously spotted the researcher Kristina. I don't know what it looks like to you, but those don't look like welcoming eyes to me.

According to the original telling of the tale this is the last photograph where Kristina tried to capture her findings with a picture of herself as well to prove she was really there & this wasn't just a holks. I'm not sure how to sugarcoat this, which is exactly what Halloween is all about sugarcoatings & delicious treats..and well there's no trick here either because that mummy was the real deal. The reason it wasn't in the last photograph is because it'd already made it behind Kristina. The mummy killed her & she never made it back home but this journal was recovered & ever since this tale has been circling around the world. They say every Halloween, the mummy still comes out & claims a victim before it returns to its sarcophagus to rest for another year in the afterlife.
Everyones eyes widened at the shocking ending, especially because there were pictures to prove it. & Everyone who walked home that night did so cautiously, and slept with one eye open.
Happy Halloween
