[QUOTE="Darth Shoju, post: 1012935, member: 11397"] The only other ghost (of course, it may not have been supernatural at all...I'm undecided about it or my previously mentioned experiences) experience I ever had was at my friends' house here in the city. They were neighbors of mine from out in the country, and their grandpa had died and left them a house in the city. We all moved into Winnipeg to go to university and they moved into the house with a room mate. Well, summer before school I'm over there helping them move furniture. It was quite warm outside and inside as well, as the house wasn't air-conditioned at all. I was standing in the hallway when I started feeling incredibly cold. I backed up into the living room and was hot. I moved forward back into the hall toward the bathroom and got really cold again. Suddenly I got the most terrified feeling, like fingers of ice up my spine, and had to retreat to the living room. I was completely confused, and wasn't thinking ghost at all at the time. I looked for a vent or fan or something and couldn't find one. I was speaking to my friend later and the topic came around to his grandpa. Apparently the poor old guy had died in the bathroom of a heart-attack, and they found him in the tub. Well, when I realized that the hallway I had felt the chill in led to the bathroom ( a mere 5 feet or so away) I was pretty creeped out by it. Never had another problem in that house though ( and I went over a lot too). My fiance says she has seen ghosts on several occasions when she was a kid in their old house. The memories are too terrifying for her though and she refuses to tell me about them (and out of respect I don't press her on the matter). Her family is aboriginal and pretty much all of them claim to have seen "little people" in their houses. They say the little people belong to the family and follow them wherever they move too. These are all pretty darn rational people, but they swear up and down that these little people exist. They tie into some aboriginal legends, and aren't necessarily benevolent; members of the family have had good and bad experiences with them apparently. They describe them as looking like the little breath-stealing goblin from that movie [I]Cat's Eye[/I] (well, they say they don't look exactly like them but pretty close). To be honest, I really didn't put much stock in ghosts or the supernatural until recently, when a friend of mine who is the most practical, level-headed and skeptical person I know told me he has seen ghosts twice and his brothers and sisters did too. After that I started seeing things quite differently. One last one, this one to do with UFO's not ghosts. This was a story of my dad. Now I say of, as I heard from my mom when I was like 20 ( I think around the same time they told me about Geordie's crazy bro). I was talking to her about the X-files when she said, in a totally off-hand manner: "Oh, your father's seen aliens." Now, my parents are also incredibly practical people.

To him it was a ball of fire until someone can prove otherwise. Not only was I amazed my dad had had an encounter like this, but that they hadn't told me about it for 20 years! My parents are nuts. :p That's about it for my tales. Not the scariest but I think they're a little creepy. Great thread though! Oh yeah...my mom's also been struck by lightning twice (although the second time indirectly) and is still alive. :D [/QUOTE]
