Whooly Boogers and Scary Thangs

[Misty_Morning]

So soon it will be Halloween.

I was just wondering ...what was it that really scared the shit out of you as a kid.

As for me...it was a very strange day in New England.

It involved a ouji board. To make a long story short....the dial moved on its own...no one was touching it.

Many years Later, I was in college. One weekend we had a ouji board. What transpired then resulted in some freaked out co-eds.

Not gonna go into it, cuz you wouldn't believe me.


But...if you have the courage to tell....tell us about you're whooly booger moments.

Did the Bloody Mary thing with a couple of friends when I was a kid. We had a sleepover and we wanted to do something freaky. It was still light outside so me and my friend covered the window in the bathroom with pillows while the other girl lit a candle and did the chant.

She screamed and we both turned our heads. For a split second I was sure I saw a woman in the mirror, full of blood and holding up a knife. Subliminal messaging at its best

When I was first married, we rented a cottage from a woman who had first used it as a seasonal rental. The same people from Connecticut had rented it every winter for many years. The man died in Connecticut and the wife never returned.

I was sitting in the living room/kitchen one evening reading a book. My wife had gone to bed. I suddenly felt the urge to look up from my reading.

An older man emerged from the bedroom wall, walked slowly across the room looking around, paused, looked around again and went through the outside wall.

I thought I was dreaming. I wasn't. My wife never awakened.

When I described the man to my landlady the next day she freaked out and said it was her former tenant. She was Catholic and Italian and wanted to have a priest come and bless the house. I said forget it. He may want to come back again to where he had good times. He never did.

We moved 2 yrs later and she had the cottage torn down.

When I was little, maybe four or five, I was absolutely convinced that there was a monster that lived under my bed, and it had really, really long arms.

I would get a running start, and then jump from maybe five feet away to my bed so that maybe the monster couldn't reach me. Then, I would lay in the absolute center of the bed, to make it tougher for the monster to reach around from under the bed and get me.

Hmmm....maybe that's why I went to state finals for years in the long jump...you reckon?

With most of the southern bands - Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw - there's stories of the little people. They're not unlike the Irish stories of lepruchans, I suppose, but they're good spirits, and not tricksters or troublemakers. Most of the stories are about small children that get lost and are found by the little people, taken into their homes under the hills, and taken care of until the child's parents come close enough for the little people to let the child out, and back into their parent's care.

They say that if you are watchful, you can see them sometimes, peeking around a doorway, or running across the hall from one room to another. It's always a good thing to have them in your home.

I see them....I see them a lot, and it never fails to make me smile.

ok...gonna tell my tale.

When I was a little girl in new england I was friends with a girl down the road from me. She lived in an old Farmhouse that was semi-remodeled.

Any ways.....one rainy spring day, she and I and another friend went up to her attak and started fucking around with a ouiji board. We played with it all afternoon long.

We took a break and had some snacks.

And as we were snacking....we looked back at the board. The dial was moving on its own...no shit.

I was so freaked out, I called my dad to come and get me instead of walking home. And for several months I refused to be alone at any point.

Say what you will, but when you see an inanimate object moving all by itself, it has a diffinent impact.




Fast forward to college.



Another uoiji board and similar shit.

It happened in February. For the rest of the semester, my roommate and I slept with the lights on. If one of us was not gonna be there, the other slept somewhere else.

No shit.

And there was more. But you wouldn't believe it....sometimes I don't wanna believe it...but it happened.

And I can't explain it.
