I always had a fear of hospitals and surgery, I think just the idea of a place where people either live or die is creepy to me, not to mention that surgery is people messing with your body while you are  unconscious! All of this fear increased when I met the medicine man. He was a local urban legend in my town. Here is the legend:

“The medicine man is a monster that works for the hospital to increase funds. His appearance is a 6 foot man with crimson colored skin. He has very extended fingers and a very long neck. He boosts funds by going up to people’s houses at night by an ambulance. he then makes a strange siren noise, but it is made with his lungs. He then proceeds to tell you to hurt yourself, or he will do it. If you don’t hurt yourself to the point where you need hospitalization, he will enter your house and stick his long fingers on your neck and pump you full of chemicals that are unknown, and after 7 hours in the hospital you die, leaving enough time for billing. And no witnesses are known because after seeing the ambulance pull up you will feel a wave of drowsiness go over you and you will pass out. (Excluding the victim)”

Now this had left me petrified. The day I met him was on July 7th. It was late at night and I was researching prehistoric stuff, because I show a HUGE interest in that. I saw an ambulance slowly creep up my street. The ambulance circled my block for about 12 minutes before stopping at my house. A very demented alarm started playing, sounding as a broken tornado warning. Then a voice sounding like breaking glass spoke to me. “HURT YOURSELF, OR I WILL HURT YOU! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES, YOUR PHONE IS WITH ME!” The voice spoke. Then the siren played again. A man with long fingers, crimson skin, and an extended neck walked out of the ambulance. He was completely naked and his mouth was moving to the beat of the siren. He stopped making the siren noise and walked up to my window and slammed himself against it. I managed to take a picture of him with my camcorder before running and locking myself inside my room.

I could hear him trying to smash the glass, I was crying. Then I heard the glass smash. The medicine man was dragging himself across my oak floor and moaned noises of pure dread the entire time. I heard him drag himself up to my room and he vomited sulfuric acid right through my door. His decaying eyes pierced my soul as he ran up to me after finishing vomiting. I struggled and struggled as he put his long fingers on my neck. And within seconds I was out.

I came back to my senses in the morning, still on the floor of my room. I pulled myself up and ran to my television. The news said my local hospital was closed due to Purposeful murder from doctors. And upon further investigation they found emails were sent out to other hospitals with a ritual on how to summon The Medicine Man before closing. Authorities are not able to close the other hospitals because they think some weirdo worker sent it out for a cheap laugh. No murders have happened yet with the other hospitals but they are soon to come.
