The Dark Voice

My buddy Ace and I were hanging out at this house on a Friday night. We were partying a bit, and Ace starts to tell me about this encounter he had with a spirit of some kind. He starts to explain what happened and freaks me out a little bit, but I didn't really want him to know that I was freaked, so we are sitting there talking and Ace asks me if I want him to call on the voice.

Not wanting to sound chicken I said, "sure" I did not believe Ace, not really.

Ace started to speak out loud and ask this voice if you are here to let it be heard, Ace started to talk to the house around us, the walls and windows and the air of the place, and I started to get chills. The room did get cooler in temperature, then I heard this scary dark scratchy voice, say loudly, "No Rest!"

Once we heard that both Ace and I ran out the front door. We ran to my house which is right down the street. Scared is not the word to describe how I felt.

Once at my place I asked Ace if he had anything to do with the voice we heard and he swore that he did not.

It has been quite a few years now and I still talk to Ace. We never talk about the voice but I will never forget it.

If you listen very hard the voices will come, they still do if only from my memory.
