when i was in college there was a place called the "hell house" about 30 min from school, deep in the woods. it used to be this all girl catholic school that caught fire years ago and sat at the top of a steep hill where the abandoned shell of the building crested the tree line. looked creepy as shit and you had to hike to get to it due to the road being closed. there were rumors around school of satanic happenings going on there and the legendary "hell hounds" that guarded the place.
so me and some friends decided to venture to it and waited till about 11pm so no cops would bother us. we parked and hiked up through the woods and got to the abandoned building, it was one of those really nice clear nights with an almost full moon. we laughed about psyching ourselves out the whole hike up and lit cigarettes and proceeded to chill. my friend matt wandered off to explore and is gone a few minutes before he races by us at top speed yelling "oh shit run!" and before i know it, two huge fucking rotweilers are on my ass barking their heads off. thankfully they were perimeter dogs so they weren't trained to actually attack but just scare off intruders. but in general, being chased by two massive dogs is pretty fuck'n scary AND the place lived up to the legend.
worship the potentiometer.
