This happened to me when I was still in High school about lets say 6 years ago. (Some preliminary facts before you read on. I'm Chinese American and I went to High school in Seattle.)

Me and a group of friends were out at night and we had each consumed about 2 grams each of dried Blue ringers we had picked about a week before. The night started out great the shrooms kicked in at about 7:00 pm. There was me, my friends Sara, Joe, Kevin and two of his buddies and we decided to drive around the countryside and take random hikes into the wilderness. It was a lot of fun. I decided to ride with Sara and Joe as they were more relaxed and are basically hippies at heart, while Kevin and his two buddies were jock types. (Kevin is a 300 pound giant of a man who would eventually play college football as a lineman and his two buddies were wrestlers.) So in our car where we had this little wicker basket filled with more mushrooms (which we affectionately called the snack basket) that we would occasionally eat more out of as we drove around. Needless to say in our car we were all tripping balls.

As it got around midnight we decided to go deeper into the countryside. (keep in mind there are a fair amount of hicks and rednecks in Washington State especially in the rural areas) After cruising around looking for a place to chill and relax and enjoy the stars we found this road that led down to this little lake that was out of the way and secluded. We thought hmm perfect place to enjoy the rest of our trip since no one will bother us here. So Kevin and his two buddies got out of their car and walked around. Joe and Sara wanted to smoke a joint and said I should roll it so we stayed in our car. As I started rolling Joe looked in the rear view mirror and said "what is that?". I looked back up the road and saw these flickering lights that were getting closer. I at first ignored it and kept on rolling the joint thinking I was just seeing things. Then Sara said "those look like torches". I looked back again and I could start to make out that indeed the flickering lights were from fire but I couldn't yet see the people holding the torches. Now I started freaking out a bit. I kept looking and eventually they got close enough for all of us to make a collective gasp.

What did we see? About six or eight guys dressed in full Klu Klux Klan outfits and regalia with Confederate flags and everything... Heading straight toward us. Me being the only non-white person in the group I started FREAKING THE FUCK OUT HARDCORE!!!! I started begging Joe to restart the car and get us the hell out of there. But Joe (being white so therefore less freaked out than me) tried to calm me down and tried to convince me and himself that this has got to be some sort of prank/joke while Sara I assume was shocked into silence. Kevin and his two buddies were laughing probably thinking they were just seeing shit because of the shrooms.

So as they got closer I tried to make myself look small and hide myself under my jacket while Joe and Sara just looked on almost like they were in shock. The lights were still on in our car so I realized I couldn't hide. So I sat up straight and tried not to look at these KKK guys walking by us. Eventually they noticed me. One of them came up to my window with I SHIT YOU NOT a rope tied into a noose (slipknot and everything) knocked on the window and said very calmly and in a matter of fact tone of voice "We are going to lynch you you fucking chink. " Needless to say I would have been freaked out if I was sober. But I was tripping out on God knows how many grams of mushrooms at this point and I literally started panicking. Luckily and thankfully once Joe saw the guy coming up to my window with a fucking noose he started the car and started to back up the road almost running over one of the KKK guys. Kevin still a little confused ran after us saying we should stay and "fight these racist bastards". To which Joe replied yelling out his window "FUCK THAT!" and continued driving. Finally after what seemed like an eternity we got out of there. I remember saying to Joe "Oh my God thank you for saving my life." Over and over again. For about 10 minutes I was convinced that Joe was actually my guardian angel sent to save me from racist assholes. So after the 10th time I thanked Joe for saving me I realized he was freaked out to and couldn't respond. All he kept saying was "Calm down Fred its all right they're gone now." In between frantic looks behind us.

At this point I hadn't blinked for what must have been at least 15 minutes because I was so freaked out so tears came out but I wasn't crying. Sara looked back and thought I was and climbed into the backseat with me and gave me a hug to try and calm me down. I don't remember it but Sarah said I was trembling a little. Eventually we saw Kevins car come out and follow us. We decided to get the hell out of there and head back home. Needless to say that ruined my whole trip that night and I would go on to trip for the rest of the night. I kept imagining being lynched and suffocating and that all white people hate me. Then I kept thinking about how Kevin wanted to stay and I forgot that he wanted to stay and "fight these racist bastards" and for a second I thought he wanted to betray me to the KKK and have me lynched. So pretty much I spent the rest of the trip being paranoid and terrified.

Now this happened in October and it was 10 days before Halloween so we have often wondered whether or not it was some idiot rednecks wearing costumes that are to say the least in extremely poor taste. But I will always remember that night I ran into the KKK on mushrooms.

hahahah damn, ive had some pretty insignificant events happen to me on shrooms that were pretty intense but i cannot imagine what that must have been like aha. good thing you made it out=]
 
^Thanks! Yeah it was very surreal. To me it felt like that scene in Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas when Hunter and company were at the clown themed casino. It all seemed so whacky and at the same time terrifying. To this day I often wonder how this could have happened to us or even if it happened at all. But since then I have spoke with everybody who was there and they all saw the same thing. I highly doubt it was some collective hallucination.

Great report.! I have been thinking of trying shrooms. Would you recommened the 2 grams where you started? Or a little more?
 
^Well this trip report wasn't about my first trip and by the end of the night I had consumed a lot more than just 2 grams probably more around 5 or 6.

But for your first time maybe 1.5 dried grams might do the trick and more later the same trip if you feel like you need it. But then again its been so long since my first trip I don't even know anymore lol.

looks like its more important to NOT meet the KKK than the actual dose

nice story :) sorry you panicked.
when tripping i find that most things that normally would scare me to shit are far far more benign and approachable. that is if i am in a good disposition
 
What was the actual area of Washington State you were in? I'm rather familiar with WA now having been here 5 years, especially the Puget Sound area.

Where did this occur? Fucking CRAZY story dude, sounds like some nutty boondocks shit you'd hear about on KOMO...
 
^I don't quite remember exactly where it was but I think it was somewhere in between Granite Falls and Monroe, meth country.

I've always thought about telling my story to the Stranger but never got the chance. Plus its been awhile so I don't think they would take the story up anyway.
