Well....

I can't say I've ever met a ghost before. My sister said she saw one in her friends house names Sarah.

I remember that in college I went to visit my friend's house and in her brother's room someone had been shot and killed and you could see the bullet hole in the wall. They tried to cover it up but it just kept coming back...no matter what they did the hole was always there. Weird huh? I never saw a ghost at her house but I'm almost positive that there had to be one there.

Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half-waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled....perhaps not even in death?

THe scariest thing happened at work to me the other day, you'll probably think I'm a wuss but I was scared to death at the time.

Okay so where I work was broken into a couple weeks ago, the guys weapon of choice was a hammer :S ?
And yesterday was the very first time I had to work alone and it was about 10 minutes before the other girl is supposed to come in for her shift.
Then this guy comes in and he has his hand shoved in his coat like he's holding something and you know in the movies when the guys face is completly covered up and all you can see is his eyes, well that what he looked like. And I was in the middle of making these other people theres subs and just his demeanor and they way he walked totally freaked me out and when I caught a glimpse of him my knees literally buckled, and I was on my way to toast the subs and almost dropped them because I was so scared I was shaking.


But then I have to go open the cash register so the other people can pay and I open and the guy is staring soooo intensely at me it really freaked me out. I almost couldn;t breathe swear to god. So as soon as I get the money I slam the register shut and finsh making the otheres people subs so fast.
And while the guy is waiting hes hanging over the counter scaring the crap out me. Then the girl who's shift started cam in and I have never been that relieved EVER! but unforutnetly I had to ring the guys sub in and right when I opened the register he reached over the counter and me and i'm just like omg i don;t want to die! and he was just reaching for a sub card - lol but i was l just like ooohohhh mmmmyyy gooddd. and then he left so it was all good but still, why would he be dressed that way and like not take the mask off while he's ordering the sub?


I'm scared of thing like that you know? like my house catching on fire or being short or robbed or something. But like the 10 seconds he was there felt like hours I was sooo freaked out,....I was like k he looks about 6 feet tall, brown eyes...... white skin.....

OO, i love creepy people, when I'm not running the risk of being taken hostage.

Fire used to scare me, but it doesn't any more. My dryer exploded this afternoon, and a while ago i would have been seriously freaked, but this time i was more concerned about possibly loosing my good sweater and the fact that I could barely breathe from all the smoke than seeing if it was setting the house on fire (It didn't, it set itself on fire and burned itself out. created a hella lot of smoke though)

Yeah, after you go through something, you're really not scared of it. Same thing with drowning-turtled a boat and wound up underneath it, and it was a crappy little hobie 10 with next to no cockpit, and had to swim out from underneath it, and i had no warning i was going over so i had no air...

You really dont feel fear after you survive something...it's facing your fears-only its not a concious choice. Which I think helps you build bravery better-because you're going through it not by your choice, but because you're forced into it. It makes you go "Yeah, if I could go through that without any warning, i can go through that whenever I want to."

I hate swimming, I know how to swim but I hate it. I think it's because once when I was like 6 or seven I was swimming in the lake (Lake Erie) And my friend told me this story.

While we were swimming in water that was too deep to stand in she told me a story about how there was a man who drowned in the water and they had never found his body. Then just as she finished the story someone came up from under me and grabbed my ankle. I Screamed and got out of the water...

I will never swim in a lake again.

Then there was this time when I was in Hawaii where ther ewas a lady swimming in the ocean and she drowned. I remember seeing her laying on the beach on a towel coughing up blood and stuff. Aparently she was standing on a sand bar that collapsed suddenly and she went under and inhaled a lot of water. When I saw her she was laying on a towel and blood was coming out of her mouth.

I will never swim in an ocean again.

That and the fact that I've read all of Koji Suzuki's stories about the sea and they are all pretty scary I never want to go into an ocean or lake again...not ever!

There is this thing in the Netherlands called "Useless Violence", that's when people get stabbed or shot or anything that results to injuries or death even if they didn't do anything.

So this one night there was an extra item in the news. A guy had been stabbed on a station where he brought away his girlfriend on the train. It happened to be the station in my town. In this period of my life (Uni) I have to go to the station everyday. It's very strange knowing something like that happened over there.

Also, when Theo van Gogh (Dutch filmmaker) died there was (and still is) a huge commotion about the Islam and freedom of speech and everything. And I was at Uni in the Hague. The neighbourhood my Uni is in, is kind of a bad neighbourhood. So I saw all these ambulances at school and paramedics and there was a huge fuss. I didn't really know what was going on until I returned home. The whole neighbour had been evacuated because there were snipers in the neighbourhood.. The whole place was being watched by choppers and radar. Even the planes weren't allowed to fly over.. really strange
There was a rabbit, in a bowler hat cooking an omelette...

That's true to an extent. Like I'm still scared of getting in another car accident and someone actually getting hurt this time! But I suppose my confidence will grow once I drive more.

Omg i remember the scaries story i heard when i was like 10 or something, it was likemidnight at summer camp and my cabin members or whatever and my couselours were sitting on the trampoline in the middle of this field with our backs turned to the outside of trampoline (get what i mean)


So then our counsleor tells us the cowboy in the window story; Here it is if you haven;t heard it : Okay so thing girl is home alone and she looks out her window and she sees this cowboy holding a rose standing on her front lawn, and shes like k whats up with that? So then she calls her neighbor and shes like hey do see that cowboy? and her neighbors like no... So the girls like whatever and goes back to sitting on her couch or whatever but the cowboy is STILL there, so she calls her neighbor again, but once again theres no cowboy. The next mornig the girl is found dead in her house holding the very same rose the cowboy had......

the thing is, is that the cowboy had been in her house the whole time, and she was seeing his reflection in the window......that creeped me out so bad because i have SO many windows in my house whenever i see a reflection i'm still kinda creeped out.

And right when my counselor finshed telling us that the guys cabins came like running out of these woods at us screaming , and like we couldn;t see them coming or anything, omg it was like the scariest thing ever at the time, i HATE people sneaking up from behind me

If the girl died, how come they knew she was holding the same rose as the "ghost" cowboy? And a reflection in a window is usually a bit transparent, so I don't think anyone would the reflection for the cowboy.
Otherwise it was a pretty decent story. I love good ghoststorys.

I heard a similar story Diane! Except the girl didn't die!

Another thing that scares me is when I'm home alone. My dog always sits on the back of the couch upstairs. The couch is in front of the window that looks down on the street. Sometimes, she'll start barking so I think that my parents or neighbours are home but then I don't hear a car door so I look out the window and there's no one there. Then she'll start growling and I can't see anything. AAAHHH it freaks the hell out of me.

I also don't like haunted houses. Me and my friends went in one at the Stampede this year and I was holding onto my one friend so tight he was laughing at me.
