So the next masculine thing we decided to do was tell scary stories and see who the biggest chickens were. Our interpreter told a story from the area of shamen who turn themselves into owls and scream at the gringos (white skinned folks) to scare them off. Then someone else told a story that didn’t really seem to bother anyone in the group. So I started to get fed up and began telling some real life ghost stories from my aunts house.
As I started to tell the first story, there seems to have been a cat making a yowling noise like it was in heat or in excrushiating pain or something in the distance. Yaaaawwwwwllllll. Then someone is like shhhh. What was that? So said “it’s a cat.” And continued to tell a story. Then it seemed to have come a bit closer to the school. Yaaaaaawwwwwllllll. And I just kept tellling the story. Just as I was getting to a scary part of the ghost story, it sounded like it was right next to us. Yaaaaaaawwwwwwwlllllllll. I went to keep telling but they were like “Shut up, Shut up, Shut the F up!!” So I stopped.
Then after what seemed like a long silence, but was probably only a few minutes, someone started shuffling around. I heard a mosquito tent zip up so I turned on my flashlight. I saw one of the very masculine and strong men of mansville getting up to go to what I assumed was the washroom. Then like a bat out of hell all I heard was this cat.. RERARAAARRRAAANNNGARRRRAAAAWWWW!!!!!!!!! The sound went all the way around the entire school perimeter that we were sleeping, then shot off into the black jungle. I looked back at the big masculine fella who was going to the washroom, who stopped dead in his tracks, did almost a bob in his step, and turned around to go back into his mosquito tent for the night. I’m not sure if he just peed his pants there or if he just held it, but either way he didn’t leave the school. The next day most of the men didn’t even talk about the nightly excitement.......
