Eeek. Really spooky!
Not sure if I’ll go to see the movie. I like things that are scary, but I really hate gore. So if it’s not too bloody I’ll see it.
The only time I’ve had a weird experience was last summer. I stayed for the weekend at this old house out in the Hamptons that some friends were renting. In the middle of the night, I woke up to some very rhythmic tapping, almost like someone was tapping out the words of a song----it sounded like someone was right at the foot of the bed, tapping something against the wood floor of the room. It went on for about a minute and then stopped. Anyhow, I decided to just go back to sleep—I am blind without my contact lenses and was too creeped to sit up in bed, turn on the light, and to be blind for a minute while struggling to get my contacts in. I did fall back asleep, and in the morning when I woke up, I found the plastic cap from a water bottle on the floor at the foot of the bed. I guess it’s possible that maybe a mouse or other creature was tapping the cap, but it was such a ‘human’ rhythm, if that makes sense. I told my friends later that day and they had all kinds of weird stories about the house—lights going on and off by themselves, etc.
My dad’s side of the family has a lot of stories–my grandfather in particular has always had the reputation for being ‘sensitive’ to paranormal stuff. Back when my aunt was in college, her fiance was in the military, and she lived at home with my grandparents. One night when everyone was asleep, my grandfather (her dad) heard footsteps running suddenly down the hallway to his daughter’s room, and a loud knock at her door. He got up to check things out but no one was there. Two days later, they got word that my aunt’s fiance had been killed in a military training accident the day that he heard the knock.
