The Canadian ChampionFRiday, August 10, 2007 - B3 Doors tune triggers scary summer memory from my youth1 I rememhb- îthe summer of 1 Q71 as The only thing that made any sense was that it was Si) thats whv 1 remnember this unc song, hecausci- ilcame Iheard that song recently andth as it often does, itE X O nte reminded me of 1 one summer nightos that year. I was 13, - e i so I was still pretty much oblivious to whatever else was going on in the world. The Vietnam war was raging on the other side of the world and t recal seeing it on thc nightly news, but it didn't mean a heck of a lot. That summer tu me, I suppose, was the end of the inno- cence. Responsibilities were stili a thing of the future. t wouldn't start smoking for another year (and am stili trying to quit) and by the next summer Id be working every day ln the fal I'd start hgh sehool. A couple times a summer a couple fniends and I would sleep outdoors in a tent in one of our backyards. We'd take our flashlights, our sleeping bags and pillow, some snacks and a transistor radio. We were free from parental intedfer- ence -as long as we were quiet, which we were because we didn't want to draw attention to, ourselves. Naturally, we didn't consider ourselves confined to our sleeping quarters, and when it was late enough we'd venture out onto the streets. We weren't looking for trouble, but it was quiet and kind of fun and spooky sneaking around in the middle of the night. The only place nearby we could go that was off limits was the Weston Golf Club. We didn't do any acts of vandalism, we just liked tbe idea of being somewhere we weren't supposed to, be. So this one night we made our way to the golf club, which was at the end of our street. Sometimes golf carts with grounds keepers would go around at night, so it was kind of fun to run and bide from them when we saw them coming. This time it was different. We were walking up the l8th fairway when we stopped short in our tracks. In the distance we saw little white lights moving around and hohbing, maybe six or seven. Theyd go up and down quickly, and back and forth. We saw no people, no arms or legs, just the lights. We hid in the bushes and watched, talking in hushed lunes. At first we were curious, then baffled, then a little nervous because we couldnt figure out a logical explanation.

Back in the tent we were safe from the spooky world, but we still knew it was out there. We spent a long time dis- cussing the spectacle we had wilnessed, and came up with no conclusion other than we couldnt explain it.
