Spooky BBQ
During the mid 80’s a group of us planned an outdoor BBQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue because we were tired of using the BBQ Islands at our complex in the city. It would take us until midnight to reach the hill top destination for the BBQ. During those days all the lamp posts would automatically switch off at midnight. So, at first we wanted to use a short-cut through an old abandoned warehouse, but since it was too dark and without any external lighting we had to take the longer route which cut through a park going down a long steps leading to the middle of the park facing the sea.
When we arrived, we had to use the BBQ pit in the center of the park because the one nearest to the public restrooms was already occupied and was really too far away. As some of us started preparing the pit for the fire, a few of us, including myself, took a pails to the public restroom to fill them up with water. Along the way, we could see the other people at the restroom BBQ pit, barbecuing away, however, it got pretty smoky after we filled up our pails with water on our way back to our BBQ pit. The people disappeared. They were gone, nowhere in site. It only took us about 8 minutes to fill the pails inside the public restroom, so how could they possibly vacate so quickly, leaving without a trace?
We inspected the pit, but there was no sign of any BBQ activity, no burning embers of charcoal, nothing, not even traces of water being poured over the coals to put them out. The trash container next to the pit was empty too. We were perplexed. How could anybody clear up and out within 8 minutes? And really, how many people bother to clear up the pit especially if the charcoal is still alive?
We continued our BBQ though without incident or any other strange occurrence and heading back home after it took us almost an hour to clear out the pit and clean up our area. We are all still puzzled, even today, about that night out in the park were 4 of us witnessed the complete disappearance of our next door Barbequers.
