[QUOTE="Shadow64, post: 1020503, member: 6868"] First - a quick tidibt my step-Dad told me about a local legend in Papua New Guinea (if i recall correctly). In one area of town there was an extremely sharp turn that was next to a cliff, the tales have it that a man would stand to ahead of the turn on the side of the road (like he was trying to hitch a ride) with one of the legs on his pants lifted up. Here's the thing: The leg that you could see was a goat leg and the story has it that the man was either Satan or some evil spirit (probably depending on the religion of the person telling the story) and that if you looked at the leg that you wouldn't make the turn and you would drive off the cliff. Second - I haven't seen anything per se - but apparently one of the houses my family used to live in in Laguna Nigel, CA was supposed to be one of the most haunted places on the west coast. Maybe I should count myself lucky that because of the visitation schedule between my mom and dad I didn't spend more time at the place because from what I have heard some bad stuff happened there. My mom and step-dad still won't tell me all of the stories but what they tell me I do believe and makes me want to learn more about what happened. Here is some of the stuff they say that happened in the place: 1) A giant blue "man" would walk through the halls of the place. The same "man" apparently could also be found standing over my bed when I was sleeping in it and had a menecing air about him the times my mother walked in and found him doing so. I slept through the entire thing of course. (Then again, i've been through my fair share of earth quakes and slept through them too). 2) The family cats would get picked up off of whatever they were laying on and get thrown across the room. At times this was done by an invisible force, other times it was the the blue man. 3) There were other odd things seen around the house....shapes, blurs, smears of color that would float around the place. They didn't do anything, they would just appear and dissapear. 4) In the master bedroom was some sort of "portal"...the story I was told was that this was were all energy came from that caused the "hauntings". I guess some ghost hunters that my parents hired verified this two ways: 1) Their were noticible tempature drops around this portal, 2) other instruments they used to find "ghostly" activity acted scrwery around the "portal" 3) Since the portal was by a window they tried to put stuff through the window (like a ladder, pole, etc), anything that was put from the inside of the house to the outside of the house didn't appear, it went into said "portal". My mom tells me they tried to put a 10 foot ladder through the thing and even though they had 6 feet of the ladder in the window not a lick of it showed outside the house. 5) All of the people that stayed in the house before us came to horrible fates. Most of them became extremely ill and ended up taking the big dirt nap. The ones that moved in after we left became very sick, but ended up moving out soon afterward and recouped. 6) Once my parents decided to get out of the house it took them almost a month to do so, not a big thing in itself, but the reasons why are off.

From what I hear the place burned down sometime in the 90's, so I can't go back and try to get my own look at the place know that I am older. [/QUOTE]
