This is a story about a graveyard in portslade i think it was on church road,its not the most scary of stories but it freaked me out for ages. Me and my friend went biking around the block and decided to have a look at the graveyard. We stopped by the grave of a six day old baby and a three month old one and we felt upset that they were so young when they died. Diagonally to the right was the grave of another baby and we walked past it to get to a mass burial. When we came out my friend stopped and went pale with fear because next to the third baby's grave, another grave had appeared but it was raised, asif somebody had pushed it from the underneath (the sides were mud but the top was grassy.)We had walked right next to it and we would have noticed it as it had brightly coloured flowers and did not look at all like an ordinary grave. We ran out of the grave yard and got on our bikes. Afew moments later we decided to see if it was still there so we crept back into the graveyard for the second time that day. We looked round the corner and it was still there so we walked quickly away. The view infront of us was clear except for a few bushes. We were very near the gate and suddenly i jumped as an old man was infront of us staring blankly. He smiled at us and my friend said hi to him and i mumbled something about being freaked out. Then we ran outside and unlocked our bikes and he followed and began walking down the road. I stared at him for a while and then when i blinked i noticed that he did not have an outline like everyone else did (like when you stand infront of the a window and end up with the shape of your body for example). I asked my friend to stand where he was walking and tried it on her and she did have a heat outline. We decided to get out of there quickly and left the road.
