Ghosts

[FishGuest5123]

Wow, Deanasue, that's harrowing.

Here's the closest thing I have to a ghost story. So, when I was in Scotland, I stayed in a hotel that had been converted from an old (really old, by USA standards) theater. Sometime in the middle of the night, I gradually became aware of a metallic, "Click, click....click, click.....click, click...." sound. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, I got a huge adrenaline rush (not the good kind) and came awake with all the hair on my arms and neck standing up. I opened my eyes and saw what looked like a shadow move across the ceiling, except the room was dark and the shadow was light, if that makes any sense (if it does, please explain, as it still doesn't make any sense to me). I jumped out of bed and looked to see if someone was picking my lock. The hall was lit up and there was no one there. I stepped across to the window; no lights, vehicles, or humans in the alley. So I went back to bed and went to sleep. I realized later that the clicking sound had stopped the moment I got out of bed and never came back, so I don't think it was some sort of pipe noise or electrical malfunction.

I'm sure there's a good explanation for that one, but to this day I don't know what it might be.

I don’t know. May be the old projectionist and someone needs to lead him to the light.

I don't think that's any crazier than anything the rest of us have said.

I was going to say my poltergeist were demons but thought I’d freak you guys out. I do think they were demonic. Why else would they have gone nuts when my sister anointed my house with Holy Oil? I believe being a Christian Believer and prayer saved us. My next door neighbor told us some people who lived in the house before practiced a weird religion. No telling what they conjured up.

Eh, fair. I have a habit of getting defensive and expect the worst response-wise whenever I discuss my deeper beliefs (which I rarely do in the first place).


Yeah, that'd probably do it. Though exactly why demonic hosts effectively screw around in abandoned buildings waiting to give random passerby the spooks when they could be doing literally anything more productive, I don't have an answer to.

That is a good question though. Why would a ghost hang around some place that doesn’t get a lot of attention just to scare somebody and move objects around. Like seriously, if you wanted to scare someone actually go to peoples houses and scare them. It’s more productive that way.

Maybe the ghosts like their solitude and get annoyed when the neighbors come around, so they start acting up. A lot of people in Wyoming are that way.

Imagines the entire population of Wyoming consisting of seniors waving their canes at non-existence children to get off their lawns

This would literally be the greatest movie/tv show.

DAMN KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Well, see, maybe that's what poltergeists are really saying. "Dang kids, get outta my house!!!"

Don't blame them. I did that to the cops, ambos (paramedics for the northern hemisherions), and the police shrink a few weeks ago. GET OFF MY LAWN. I'M A CRAZY OLD MAN AND DON'T WANT YOU HERE, NOW GET OFF MY LAWN.

I wish Colorado was this funny.

I normally watch horror movies or read horror novel before I sleep, I don’t have problem with my sleep but your story does affect my sleep

I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t have shared it.

Colorado be like:


@Colin_T, you are kind of lucky that you have all those cool animals right in your backyard. Obviously cool from a distance - no one likes to be gutted by a kangaroo.


All of these stories you hear of people saying, “I could feel their presence” are all baloney.

I went with the CAP to the Cadet Ball in an old house in downtown Lawrenceburg. There was a room upstairs that was supposedly “haunted” and we got to see it when we went on the tour. They were trying to scare us saying, “someone supposedly died in this room, and you can still feel his presence”.

Sure, it was a little cold, but I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary.

That show “Ghost Hunters” or whatever it’s called is so fake it makes my brain hurt.
