Attendees hear whispers of “don’t go in…”
ASHEVILLE, NC – A weekend of music and mayhem turned into a supernatural nightmare at the Blue Ridge Music Festival when a possessed porta-potty began terrorizing unsuspecting concertgoers, leaving dozens traumatized and festival organizers scrambling for answers.
The horrifying ordeal began Friday evening during headliner performances when festival attendees started reporting eerie whispers emanating from porta-potty unit #47, strategically positioned near the main stage. According to multiple witnesses, a disembodied voice repeatedly warned approaching festival-goers with the chilling phrase “don’t go in…”
Sarah McKenzie, 23, of Charlotte, was among the first victims of the paranormal plumbing predicament. “I was just trying to use the bathroom between sets when I heard this raspy voice coming from inside,” McKenzie recalled, still visibly shaken three days after the incident. “It was like someone was trapped in there, but when security checked, it was completely empty. The voice kept saying ‘don’t go in’ over and over again. I’ve never been so terrified in my life.”
Festival security initially dismissed the reports as pranks or the result of excessive partying, but as the weekend progressed, the complaints multiplied exponentially. By Saturday afternoon, a crowd had gathered around the haunted facility, with some brave souls attempting to record the phenomenon on their smartphones while others fled in terror.
The situation escalated dramatically Saturday night when the porta-potty allegedly began physically moving on its own, rocking back and forth violently during a particularly loud guitar solo. Witnesses described the blue plastic structure as appearing to “dance” to the music while continuing to emit the ominous warnings.
Dr. Miranda Blackwood, a paranormal investigator and author of “Spirits in Strange Places,” was called to the scene Sunday morning to assess the supernatural situation. After conducting preliminary tests with electromagnetic field detectors and digital voice recorders, she delivered a chilling verdict.
“What we’re dealing with here is definitely not of this world,” Dr. Blackwood explained, her equipment registering unusual energy spikes near the possessed porta-potty. “The electromagnetic readings are off the charts, and I’ve captured at least seventeen distinct voices on my recording devices. This appears to be a case of multiple entities inhabiting a single location, which makes it extremely dangerous and unpredictable.”
Festival organizers attempted to resolve the crisis by hiring a local priest to perform an exorcism, but Father Timothy Rodriguez fled the scene after reportedly witnessing the porta-potty door slam shut repeatedly while strange lights flickered inside the unit. Several festival workers who tried to remove the haunted structure claimed they were physically repelled by an invisible force.
The ghostly bathroom’s reign of terror reached its peak Sunday evening when it allegedly began levitating three feet off the ground during the closing act, causing mass hysteria among the remaining festival attendees. Video footage captured on social media shows hundreds of people running from the area as the possessed porta-potty glowed with an otherworldly blue light.
Investigation into the facility’s history revealed disturbing details about its previous locations. Records indicate the same unit had been present at three other music festivals where unexplained deaths occurred, including two apparent drownings in empty fields miles from any water source and one bizarre case of spontaneous combustion during a folk music performance.
Local authorities have quarantined the haunted porta-potty pending further investigation, though several residents report hearing faint whispers of “don’t go in” emanating from the storage facility where it’s currently housed. The Blue Ridge Music Festival has announced they will be switching to permanent bathroom facilities for all future events.
As word spreads about the supernatural sanitation scandal, paranormal enthusiasts from across the country are flocking to Asheville, hoping to catch a glimpse of what experts are calling the most documented case of haunted portable plumbing in modern history.
