[QUOTE="Darth Shoju, post: 1020335, member: 11397"] I got a bit more info out of my fiance this weekend. We were at her cousin's wedding and afterward went to her aunt and uncle's house. They were all quite drunk (I stayed sober as I was the designated driver) and started talking about a lot of their aboriginal beliefs (some of which involve a family member trying to kill other family members with "medicine"...basically "magical" items/tokens/whatever designed to cause bad luck; her uncle also wanted them all to refrain from drinking for four days so he could consult a medicine man as he thought the family was cursed and wanted to find out how). Well, my fiance started saying more about the "little black man" that haunts their family. I had though it looked like the goblin from [I]Cat's Eye[/I], but apparently when they said that they just meant the scene where it is hiding in the hole in the wall and all you can see is it's vague shape and glowing red eyes-my missunderstanding there. She says that when she used to see it in her room (this was her old place, she lives with me now) she is paralyzed. She says others (including two of her cousins who were there and confirmed this) have experienced this while staying at her old house. At first I was going to explain to her that sleep disorder that has been referred to in this thread, but I was hesitant when I found out that these people had never experienced this except when at this house. I gotta say I find that a little odd. She went on to say that she thinks the shape is linked to a dream she had. In the dream she went into someone's basement (she didn't know who's it was) and saw a little aboriginal boy in a residential school uniform (I may be using the wrong term there...basically the uniforms for aboriginal kids back when they had schools on the reserves that were run by the government, not the reserve). She says the boy had large (as in much larger than a regular boy's) solid black eyes! Now, I haven't told her about that black eyed kids story on this thread as I was afraid to creep her out (she gets scared by ghost stories), so when I heard that I was quite alarmed. She says the next day she went into her friend's basement (I think for the first time) and it was the basement from her dream. She later talked to a different friend (or family member...I'm not sure which, it was loud and like 3 am) who had dreamt about a small aboriginal boy in a residential school outfit who got hit by a train. Now they continued to say a relative of theirs was in some sort of medicine purifying ritual during which the elders determined she had two extra spirits within her. She had to leave the medicine circle in a contrary fashion as everone else, and as she left the medicine man (not sure if that is the right term) sucked a spirit out of her elbow. He said one of the spirits in her was good, one was bad, and he wasn't sure which one he got. So, my fiance thinks that the two aborinal boys in the dreams are twins and her family is being haunted by the soul of the one the medicine man didn't get. Now, they were all quite drunk it is true, but the seriousness of the discussion and the consistency of their accounts was rather unnerving to me. But, I'm trying to keep an open mind on this both ways, until it is proven to me one way or another (much like my Dad's philosophy :) ). [/QUOTE]
