Prompted Writing

I think the best way to describe my feelings about the supernatural would be "open-mindedly skeptical." I've never directly experienced anything that could be called even a little bit supernatural, but I've seen friends do or experience things that it's hard to explain any other way.
This is the best story I have on the subject:
When I was about 19, a guy going to MSU disappeared from a party. The sister of the guy I was dating at the time freaked out about it. She claimed she was getting images of a cold, wet, dark place, and a horrible headache. She interpreted these images as a sign that somebody had hit him over the head, shoved him in the trunk of a car, and then dumped him on the side of a road outside of town. Somehow she managed to convince her boyfriend, Kevin, and I to help her go look for him. We spent a few hours wandering around back roads with flashlights, looking in ditches and tall grass. Of course all we found was litter and a few frogs. We convinced her that we'd done all we could and to give up.
But a couple days later his body was found in the Red Cedar. He had apparently leaned over too far and fallen in. He was tangled up in some roots and debris, and had drowned after hitting his head on something.
I'm trying to post more often, and am looking for writing prompts. You can help by asking me a question or giving me a topic. Anything you want as long as it's safe for work. No promises I'll actually be inspired by your idea, but I'll do my best.
