Have you ever heard about Spokie Van Zyl? He lived in Brakpan, South Africa. He died about 4 years ago by committing suicide. He was a Satanist who said that he's going to his "real" father (Satan). After that his house stood there between large trees and in time it was demolished by the government of Brakpan because of unexplained deaths there. One black woman was found there just dead. No one knows how and why she died because there was no sign of suicide or murder. No marks or bruises, nothing. They did an autopsy on the corpse but nothing indicated that she died of a heart attack or any explainable causes. That was mysterious to everyone.

Then one night me and my friends, two guys and four gals, were at my house having a BBQ and one of the girl, Sally, suggested that we go to the Spokie van Zyl's house. Others were reluctant to agree at first but after Sally kept insisting, they all gave in. I had an uneasy feeling about it but agreed to go with them.

Later, we drove off to this house. As we got to the entrance of the driveway, I began to feel so cold and nervous. We got out of the car and there were just the ruins of the house. Sally went to the trap door which leads to the basement or cellar. There were some bricks on the opening so she took some of them off.

Right after that, the other girl, Annie, who can feel and see spirits, said that she saw something nearby. She told everyone that the thing was standing by one of the trees near a pile of bricks and stones. Lucie, who was scared stiff and silent the whole night, sprinted for the car. I just turned away and rushed REALLY fast to the car too. My friends asked where the thing was and they stood there just watching!! I thought it was really stupid of them just to stand there. I was scared stiff!! Then we finally drove off to Sally's home.

Annie and her friend Lucie saw the thing and were extremely shocked. There were voices and when we got to the house, I said that I'm going back to my own home. I was just too terrified by then.

The following morning Sally called me to ask if I'm ok. I hadn't had much sleep so I was rather tired then. Afterwards, she told me that a sign appeared on their house's wall. Her sister, Annie, was a Satanist too and that's why the sign returned. That night I went to their house. Her father came back later with her boyfriend's parents. He was the other guy in the party and a friend of mine. They prayed for some time and then Sally's father managed to wash the pentagon sign off. After that they blessed the house and everything went back to normal. Later, Annie and Lucie described the thing they saw as a large white figure with blue (?) eyes.
