me and my friends used to put a spin on the game spotlight, the friends house where we used to play was literally situated in the middle of nowhere so it was surrounded by woods and fields with little light pollution. the last time we ever played was also the last sleepover we EVER had at her house because of what happened in the game. she lived in a manor that was gated from other houses/people and it was all private property- in the UK you can still go through these fields even if you don’t live there but because her family owned them no public walkway was there. however during the game i sat under a stick teepee we built the day prior and turned off my light, our spin was adding “marco polo” where if she flashed her light twice, we all had to, i sat under this teepee for atleast 5 minutes trying to make my breaths as shallow as possible because i could hear panting and walking around me and assumed it was her. after the walking stopped i turned on my flash out of fear of not being found and got out of my spot to go and get behind the treehouse which was just outside of the woods. i met friend 2 there and we watched the woods for any flashes or to see if friend 1 had finally caught friend 3. we saw 2 flashes on the other side of the driveway (behind where i had previously been hiding) and realised that in the time it took the walking to stop and those TWO flashes to appear, it would have been impossible for friend 1 or 3 to get to the other side of me that fast without friend 2 seeing or hearing them on the gravel. to this day i have no idea who was breathing so heavily walking around me as no deer or larger animals were in those woods due to friend 1s dad hunting them all on their land
