[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 1002804, member: 1308"] The only one I've personally experienced is the street light thing. For some reason, lights will sometimes turn off as I pass them. But, only [i]specific[/i] ones. My most recent example was about a year ago. I worked for Dell's phone tech support, and usually got off work between 11 pm and 1 am. It was about a mile walk home, and I would pass this pharmacy on the way. After a few trips, I noticed that the street light in front of the building would always turn off when I walked past. It wasn't a timer, because I would pass the lamp at various times of night. It wasn't motion sensitive, because cars would drive by or pull into the parking lot and not affect it. Yet, when I walked by [i]on the opposite side of the street[/i], it would turn off. Got to be a kind of ritual for me on the way home. For other stories I've been told... 1) [b]The Man in the Room[/b] This one really freaks me out. I remember my mother telling me about this a long time ago... see, when I was about three or four, I had a certain nightmare (which recurred until my late teens). At this time, I got up and went to my parents bedroom, but I didn't want to wake them, so I stood in the doorway, trying to decide what to do. That's when my mother screamed. I don't remember anything until a few minutes later, when I was in the bed with them crying. Mom told me years later that she had woken up and saw a young man (in his twenties) standing in the doorway. Move ahead to just a few years ago. I was sleeping downstairs when I heard my mother scream. Ran upstairs where my father told my sister and I to go back to bed, mom had just had a bad dream. About a month later, I was awakened by my sister's scream. Ran upstairs where she was crying, telling my father she had seen a young man standing at the foot of her bed, then he had disappeared. He finally calmed her down and got her back to sleep. The next day, my mother confided in me that she had seen the man that night she screamed as well. At this point, it just sounds like the sleep paralysis you folks had mentioned. However, according to my mother, the person she saw was an [i]exact[/i] match for the man my sister described, right down to the clothes he was wearing. 2) [b]Ouija Boards are EVIL![/b] I've had two friends tell me about problems with spirits they contacted while playing with Ouija boards. For one, it was his sister and her friends that played with the boards. They told him that whatever they contacted became surly and rude while they were talking with it via the board... then a few girls complained of scratches on their bodies. For years after that, various people in the household complained of strange sounds, doors opening on their own, and occasionally of the feeling that something just shoved them when they were at the top of the stairs. My friend himself said that one day he brought another guy I know home to play video games. He noted that, oddly enough, all the doors inside the house were open, when normally they were kept shut for cooling the main rooms. Just as he was getting a drink for his friend, every door in the house slammed shut simultaneously... and he says they heard the chainsaw in the garage start. They ran outside. :D I spoke to the other friend later, and when I asked about it, his eyes got wide and he just refused to say anything but, "I'll never go in that house again!" Another person I spoke with said he and some friends had contacted something via a board in college. After that, they all experienced strange sightings and bad luck. At one point, one of them decided they should destroy the board to get rid of the thing. They did, but a few weeks later, one of the group was killed in a car accident. My friend believed it was the spirit's fault, as the driver was known for being cautious and had just had the car worked on... yet the brakes had failed at an intersection, and the truck driver that struck him said he never even saw the car until he hit it. Later, my friend and his colleagues got together with someone known for her abilities to do a banishing ritual. He said that after that, it was finally gone. Of course, at the very moment he told me that, the street lamp above us burned out with a loud 'pop'. We decided to go home right then and there. :eek: 3) [b]Tarot, On the Other Hand, is Pretty Cool[/b] Haven't done it in years, but a friend introduced me to tarot cards. I had no idea what I was doing, but she asked me to perform a reading for her and the friend I mentioned with the Ouija board problem. According to them, my reading was frighteningly accurate. The Ouija board friend needed a cigarette afterwards to calm himself down. ;) [/QUOTE]
