What you are about to read is a sampling of spookiness from
myself and a couple of friends. I personally have had very
little experience with the paranormal, or if I have none of
them are worth telling. I love scary things but if I'm
ever put in a freaky situation, I am in no way a brave
person! So in that sense I am happy I have had no dramatic
run-ins with the unknown.
I would like to share 4 sets of experiences from 4
different people. I will tell them in what I believe to be
the "least scary" to the "scariest" order.
(1) MY STORY:
Everyone has experienced weird things because we live in a weird world. However, I'd have to say
there was one night that just baffled and surprised me.
I was laying in bed trying to sleep. My parents were
watching TV downstairs and had the front door open because
it was springtime. I had just fallen into a relaxed state
when an image suddenly flashed before my eyes. If you have
ever seen the movie "The Shining", it was like the scene of
the twin girls murdered and lying in a bloody mess.
I saw a blank hallway with blood EVERYWHERE, and two forms on the
ground that I can only assume were bodies. This image was
gone a millisecond later but it had startled me and my
heart was racing. As I mulled over why such a scene would
appear in my head, I heard a loud animal sound coming from
my front yard. It sounded like a cat's yowl except more
canine, if that makes any sense. Now I was additionally
creeped out because I had never heard something like that
before.
At this point I can no longer remember the exact
sequence of events, but basically sometime later I asked my
parents if they had heard that animal noise, and they said
no. This does not make sense, because they definitely
would have heard something, considering that the open front
door lies right in the middle of our small front yard. So
I wonder now if I was having both a visual and auditory
hallucination that night.
I have never had something like
this before and I wasn't very groggy at the time.
(2) LINDA'S STORY:
Linda is a good friend of mine. She is
very intelligent and good-natured. Her mother is manic-
depressive and Linda often worries that she is becoming
manic-depressive herself. Sadly, I think she already has.
Her story is probably not related to anything supernatural
but it includes strange phenomena, anyway.
One day I asked her if she had ever heard someone calling her name, because
this seems like a very typical aspect of paranormal
occurrences and I was curious. She said "oh yeah all the
time" like it was a given fact. Then she went into how
oftentimes she'll be falling asleep or just sitting quietly
and she will begin to hear voices in conversation. She
said that the conversation gets progressively louder but
she can never really decipher what is being said, yet it
does not seem abnormal at all--in other words it sounds
very real. Then, suddenly, one of the voices will shout
very loudly into her ear, sometimes yelling her name or
something else. After the first syllable of this shout,
the word(s) quickly fade out and vanish. She explained
that this is why when she starts falling asleep in class,
she sometimes jerks awake suddenly, because someone has
yelled into her ear. I asked, "Don't you get scared when
you start hearing the voices again, and do you prepare for
the yelling because you expect it?" Linda replied, "Nope.
They get me every time."
(3) DANNY'S STORY:
Danny used to be one of my best
friends, and it seems the paranormal likes to follow him
around. He had strange experiences in his old house, and
he's had strange experiences in his new house. The one I
remember most clearly is as follows:
Danny was home alone one day and sitting upstairs in his room. The phone rang
and he went to answer it, but before he could someone
picked it up downstairs in his kitchen. He said he clearly
heard someone walk over and lift the receiver, but had
never heard anyone enter the house. He did not investigate
because he was afraid it was a burglar or some other
threatening person, and soon he heard the phone being
placed back in its receiver.
Thoroughly freaked out, he
waited upstairs until the phone rang again. This time he
managed to pick it up and it was his father calling. His
father asked "Who was the guy who answered the phone last
time I called?" Apparently a man had said "hello" but that
was it before he hung up. Danny did not hear anyone leave
the house after that, nor did he hear any movement at all.
(4) MEGAN'S STORY:
Megan is another pal of mine, and when
she told me this story I got the willies!
Her boyfriend Ryan lived with her and her family for a while, and would
sleep on the couch downstairs. One night marked the
beginning of a phenomenon that would continue till this
day. Megan was sitting in bed reading. The lights were on
in her room but off in the outside hallway. Her door was
partly open so that there was a good amount of space
between the door and the doorjamb. She happened to look up
and saw a face in this space, staring at her and not
moving. It was down near the floor so that it looked like
the person was crouching and peering in from around the
corner. She said that since there was insufficient
lighting, she could not clearly see the eyes but the
shadowing of eyes and a nose.
She did see a mouth that was
expressionless, and asserted that what she was seeing was
clearly someone's face. At first she thought it was Ryan
playing tricks on her, so she kept saying "Ryan, what are
you doing?" "Ok Ryan, that's enough" "Stop it Ryan it's
not funny anymore" for a considerable length of time
without getting any response. Frightened now, she did
nothing for a while but finally got the guts to go to her
door and look out.
Of course no one was there, and upon
further investigation everyone else in the house was sound
asleep. She tells me that nearly every time her door is
left open so that that space is present between the door
and doorjamb, the face will eventually show up. She has
looked for every explanation and there is none. So now she
keeps her bedroom door wide open at night, and doesn't see
anything. If I were her, I'd CLOSE the door, because what if
that thing comes in???
And so concludes my eerie presentation! Feedback welcome!!!
