I don't know if this is a ghost story or not, but here goes. This happened a long time ago when I lived Virginia. I was over one of my friend's (Vanessa) houses with four of our other friends (Steven, Josh, Cole, and Trisha). Cole made a dumb suggestion about why don't we go into the woods.

It was already ready night, and it was a Friday night so I agreed. I always go out with my friends on Fridays and stay out almost all night. When we first went in the woods we stuck to the trail until Steven ran off chasing Cole because he said something about him (I forgot what it was).

We waited a while and they didn't come back so Josh went looking for the two idiots. Me, Vanessa, and Trisha heard something behind us moving and we got scared so we ran in the direction Josh and the other guys went. Josh was still walking when we caught up to him and I couldn't stop and ran into him and Trisha accidently hit us and falls and somehow we all end up rolling down the hill.

We didn't roll that far because it wasn't that step of a hill and we weren't trying to roll any farther. Josh kept saying "What are you trying to do? kill me?" and Trisha got mad at them and started argueing and just 'play punching' eachother.

While me and Vanessa sat back laughing at them we heard Cole and Steven still yelling and laughing at each other so we went to see if we could find them. We kept yelling for them, but they didn't answer we could just hear them, that is until Trisha screeched Steven's name and gave us all head-aches, but they finally came.

When we looked around we were in this circle-thing were not even moss was growing in it. There were a few leaves and sticks laying around, but that was it.

We started wondering how to get back because we had to be way off the trail by that time. I stepped back and was leaning on a tree Trisha, Vanessa, and Cole were sitting on some sort of fallen tree or something and Steven and Josh were sitting on the ground. We were all talking about what way we came and I said we came from behind us, but in our mad dash looking for Josh and the guys we probably went all different ways.

Josh said that he had changed directions a few times so Trisha, Vanessa, and me had to have turned. Steven stared fooling around with some of the sticks and leaves in the area and through a stick at me, but I moved and it hit the tree. It bounced back off a little into the circle and I didn't feel right and wanted to leave. But you know how guys are, "Oh theres nothing to be afriad of you're just to girly" and stuff like that.

Then they started talking about scary stuff and the blair witch and they were trying to make those stick figures and stuff when all of a sudden a tornado about as tall as me (5'4) sprang up in the middle of the circle. It wasn't regular because tornados aren't that little, just don't happen like that, and this one looked like fire but it wasn't hot.

We ran like heck to get out of there and ended up down the block when we came out of the woods. We don't know what happened and I'm not going in those woods again. Thankfully I moved.
