There was a game some of my friends and i would play, there was a old copper mine up around were we lived, the mine was closed down because there were Native American bones in the back of the cave, at least that's what it said in the old news papers at the museum, but the real reason the mine was closed was because 27 miners died in that mine one day after the burial chamber was found, the mine owners didn't want to lose there investments so they ordered the men back into the mine, they were told to destroy all evidence of any Native American burial chamber, after the miners went down into the mine the foreman heard screams coming from inside the mine shaft, another group was sent down to see what happened to the first group of miners, when they came back from down in the mines they were throwing up and saying that the bodies were torn into pieces by some kind of beast, the mine closed shortly after that and that was over a hundred years ago, the mine entrance was boarded up and sealed off, but we found a way into the mine through another cave we used to call it crystal cave because it never went that deep into the hillside and the inside of the cave walls had quartz crystals growing on them, the was a tremor that was centred in Vancouver but the after shocks was just enough to put a medium sized crack in the back wall of the cave that led into a much bigger cavern, we knew we were near the old copper mine so we were extra careful not to slip and fall, but it was to dark to go any deeper into the cave so we went home and grabbed some camping stuff, tents, sleeping bags, battery powered flash lights and stuff like that, the first night we camped outside of the cave till morning and when the sun came up we pack our day packs and headed back into the cave, we must have walked a 100 feet into the cave past the bigger cavern we found ealier, we found a old tunnel that was blocked off so we tore the boards down and kept going until we found a underground stream i guess thats why the tunnel was boarded up, so we back tracked but on the way back we found a side tunnel that we missed when we were going down the tunnel the first time, we walked for much longer this time it felt like we were walking forever until my friend tripped on something, it was some old rail track so we stood up and looked around with our flash lights to get our bearings, we must have found another way into the old mine but we never believed the old ghost stories people used to tell us, heck we were in our mid teens nothing could hurt us or so we thought, so we went deeper into the old mine until we came to a dead body old one of the miners that died down were, now we were getting a little scared, so we went a little deeper into the mine until we found three bodied, one of the bodies had it's hand up over it's face like something was attacking it, so we figured that we should head back(not because we were scared, or at least that's what we told ourselves) as we turned to start going back we heard some noises and seen a freaky glowing light coming towards us, so we said to h**l with this and we started to run and as we were running the noise and light was getting closer, we made it back to were we had torn the boards down the when we made it to the end of the first small cave crystal cave, after we got to the first cave the lights and sounds had stopped but we chose to sleep outside that night, whatever it was in that cave i'll never know because i never went back into that cave ever again, but when we would meet new friends we would dare then to sleep inside the first cave with a warning never to go deeper into the second tunnels.
