[QUOTE="Estlor, post: 1020145, member: 7261"] I've got some stories. Nothing as creepy as the black-eyed kids, but interesting anyway. First of all, I see color on black and white TVs. Or rather, I did as a kid, as we haven't had a black and white TV since then. We had this B&W TV in the kitchen we'd watch the news on at lunchtime before my nap (I was in kindergarden and all). After almost a year of that I remember asking my Mom some kind of a color-related question and she gave me a funny look and told me there was no color on that TV. I refused to believe it wasn't a color set, but everyone else in my family only saw B&W on it... My girlfriend always tells me her TV set is haunted. I've seen what it does. You can be watching it, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the volume goes up or down, or (more startlingly) the channel changes without any on-screen indication of it having changed. She says it usually goes to CNN (which she would always watch in the morning while getting ready for work). The one time it happened to me we were watching the Cosby show on Nick at Night and she had fallen asleep. Just before 1 am it was suddenly on Cartoon Network in time for GI Joe to start. Odd, how it picked a show I would watch but she never would. Now, my Dad is a bit of a gearhead when it comes to electronics, and he says the power supply is acting up, and that an electronic tuner can change channels at the slightest variance in voltage if not regulated properly, but my girlfriend claims the TV she had before this one did it too, and that one had a manual tuner on it. My girlfriend has prophetic dreams. Nothing dramatic, but she'll have a dream that only vague details linger. However, sometime down the line, usually close to a year later, something happens that matches those details. The best story of this happened quite a while back. She had a dream about her mother (who had just survived breast cancer at the time of the dream) in the hospital surrounded by crosses. She always thought it was odd because her mother isn't religious and the closest hospital was a community one, not a religious one. But once during a treatment she had a needle break off in her and get lodged in the vein near her neck. They rushed her to a hospital that specialized in this kind of thing a town over, and when she came to visit sure enough it was a Catholic hospital and her mother's room had crucifixes on three of the four walls. And, lastly, up in Oxford they have a bit of a ghost story. One of the back roads just inside of town has three hills before it dead curves off. The legend is that one night a man riding a motorcycle was traveling down that road. He cleared the first two hills, but just before going over the third he lost control of the bike and died. On clear nights you can go down to the end of the road, turn around, and park the car. If you flash your brights three times, a light appears down on the other side of the road. You see it go over the first two hills, but it vanishes after that and won't come any closer. It doesn't work in the rain, and due to the traffic in the region caused by the ghost tale they put up street lights all along the road that makes it too bright to do it anymore, but "The Light" as the call it is a bit unnerving when you see it. I'll say this much about the place - when you drive down the road at night, no matter the weather, temperature, or time of year, it is always very foggy back there, and you can see it rise up in whisps from the ground itself.
