13th Gate (Free Post)

     Over this fall break, I went to the 13th Gate with the Cross Country Team. I was so scared at first when they told me about it, but as it got closer, I was more excited to go. We all met at the LSU lakes at 5:30pm  and then went in a few cars to the 13th Gate. When we got there, we didn't have to wait too long to get in, but once we got in it took a while for us to get to the start. The anticipation was the worst. The Haunted House had begun even before they sent us inside. There were so many things to scare us while waiting in line. 

     When we finally got into the elevator to start, I was so nervous and frightened about what would come next. There were so many pop scares at the beginning, but as you got farther into the house, there were more actors and more things to be frightened of. There was one part where there were strobe lights, and I think that put me into a daze. I felt like I was asleep for the next 10 minutes asking every 20 seconds if this was real or if I was dreaming. I must have put myself in a state where I thought it was all a dream because of how real everything seemed and how good the actors were at scaring people. Especially when there were parts from movies. I must have been making it all up. When we finally got out, everyone kept saying that it was the scariest it had ever been. I had to agree that it was super scary, but it was still super fun.
