Ar. 001: The Coal Cross

It was a normal Minecraft day. It was in 2020, in the middle of summer. I opened up Minecraft and went to Singerplayer. I was tired of playing on Hypixel day after day and I wanted something classic. Something casual. Something without endless plugins or custom gamemodes.
I spawned in a dark oak forest, right next to a Badlands biome. I started doing normal things that every Minecraft player would do: getting wood, making a crafting table, stone tools etc. I found a Woodland Mansion a few blocks away, which was pretty lucky. Thing went the same way after that. Nothing foresaw what was to come.
After I made some iron tools and armor, I decided to finally make a house. If you're probably wondered why i didn't use the mansion as a house, I made it because it was too bigger and those vindicators were very annoying. So I decided to do it myself. I went to the Badlands biome because I wanted terracotta to make the house more beautiful with it. This is the moment when the things started to get really weird. And not in a good sense.
When I went to the badlands, I started to get some terracotta in the colors that I've found, but that I saw something in the distance. Something like a black point. I started to get suspicious so i went to that black point. Then I saw it. A 5 block tall cross, made full of coal blocks. Nearby the cross were player heads and scattered redstone dust. I went scared, though I didn't know why. I felt a dark presence nearby the cross, watching me. Then I heard some growl-like noises, noises that I can't describe. I panicked and I returned to the dark oak forest.
The next day when I played Minecraft was absolutely normal. I finished the shelter and I started to look for the Nether portal. It didn't took too long until I found a lava pool for the portal. I went to the Nether and started to look for a Bastion, which took some time. I looted it and I went back to the Overworld to store my stuff. But, when I returned to my house, I realized that the terracotta from my house was missing and there was scattered redstone everywhere. I realize that it wasn't right, so I cleaned the redstone and I went to the Badlands to get the terracotta back. Then I saw it. Again. 
The cross was standing there, this time closer to my house, and with more redstone around it. Waiting. I tried to ignore it and to get the terracotta I needed, but I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around, but was nobody behind me, except for the cross. I tried to break it, but the coal blocks were unbreakable, although I had a diamond pickaxe. I tried to destroy it with a creeper explosion, but it didn't break. Then I heard it. A horrible sound that was between a scream and a guttural sound. And it was very loud. I was extremely scared and I immediately closed Minecraft. 
Next day when I logged in, hopefully, I spawned right next to my house, unfortunately with all my items gone. I started again from zero and built a new house. To this day, I still avoid the Badlands biome.
