Over on FARK.com, there's a hilarious and often spooky thread of stories and comments about ghosts, demons, and other totally real elements of our lives.
Each of these stories alone would be sufficient for tonight's campfire, but we thought maybe some of you have your own...
First, something for those who don't have their own stories:
The other night I was home alone except for my mini schnauzer Max. I
was doing some cleaning in the living room and turned to see Max in
front of the cupboards in the kitchen sitting and shaking like
something had just hurt him or scared the bejesus out of him. I picked
him up and he tried to climb up over me. I brought him into the bedroom
and set him on the bed. He ran to the head of the bed and hid behind
the pillows,still shaking. This went on for about 20 minutes. Nothing I
could do would stop his shaking. He would not go back in the living
room the rest of the night. Was it a ghost that scared him? Who knows. - by Trixie Belden
...Jason has lived in the same house since he was little, he and his wife
bought it from his mother when they got married. Long history of issues
with the house, they even had a preacher come in and bless it. Since
the two of them have moved in, there have been a few weird things, but
nothing major.
So a few weeks ago we went down there to see
them, and spent the night. After it got late and everyone else was in
bed, I wanted my PJs, so I went outside to get them from the car.
Walking across the deck, I felt something push me from behind, and I
fell down the steps. They have a huge boxer who's really bad about
jumping, so I thought it was him.
Then I looked up and saw this
bright white light, a circle. I thought I'd hit my head or something.
so I stood up, and it was still there, about head high, sort of
pulsating. I turned around to go back to the house, then I turned back,
still there. like it was watching me. Finally I said "I'm sorry if
you're mad, but this isn't your house anymore. the people who live here
are really nice and will take care of it, but you need to leave." and
it got brighter for a second, then slowly faded away.
There were
no lights on, nobody lives near there, no headlights, etc. it was the
weirdest thing I've ever seen. I kind of feel bad now, because I'm not
sure that what pushed me and the light were the same thing. I wasn't
afraid of the light at all.
The next morning the hub and I got
up, and he took me to the doctor. Broken wrist. When I explained to him
what happened, and later when I explained it to my friends who own the
house, turns out at some point, all of them had seen the light I
described. My husband and the other guy had seen it in the house when
they were teenagers, and the wife had seen it in the back field, a
couple of weeks earlier. -by meg12279
