英语灵异故事-The Church And The Handprint (教堂与掌印) 02

（单词翻译）

We had been there about 10 minutes, looking through the windows of the church, exploring the side graveyard¹ and generally just goofing² off when I decided³ to go around to the back of the church. Shawn and Walt were around the front of the church looking at the bell tower while I was exploring the back area. I heard a sound and started to turn towards it, swinging around in a way that I was facing the forest as I did so. As I swung around, I froze. There, in the forest, was... I can only describe it as 'something'. Here's the weird⁴ part: I couldn't actually see it. I had what could only be explained as a 'mental' picture of it. I knew something was there, looking at me, where I SHOULD be able to see it, but there wasn't anything physically⁵ there! I wanted to leave, I wanted to run, but I was completely frozen⁶. I couldn't even really breathe. It was just like it held me in place.

　　Finally, when Shawn and Walt called my name, I was able to shake it off. I was so freaked out at that point, that I just continued turning and marched right on past them. They asked what was wrong and I just said, without looking at them, "We are LEAVING. Let's go!" Again, they asked me what was wrong, as I rounded the side of the building and I said again "Let's GO! I'm LEAVING!"

　我们在那呆了大概十分钟，透过玻璃看向教堂里面，察看旁边的墓地，基本上只是随便看看， 随后，我决定到教堂后面去看看。肖恩和沃尔特在教堂前部检查灯塔而我在后面察看。忽然，我听到声响，便转身去察看，我是从面向森林的方向转身的。我愣住了。在森林里，有……我只能说是有“某物”。诡异的是我其实看不到它。我只能在“意识”中看到它，我知道那里有东西在看着我，我本该看到它的，但那里根本没有什么有形的东西！我想离开，想逃跑，但是我完全呆住了。我甚至都无法呼吸。仿佛那东西把我定住了似的。

　　最后，肖恩和沃尔特叫我的名字，我才摆脱了这种感觉。我当时吓坏了，只能转身从他们身边走过去。他俩问我出了什么事，我没看他们，只说：“我们走吧！”他们又问我发生了什么事情，我转过教堂的拐角，又说了一遍：“我们走吧！我要走了！”
