Do you believe in ghosts?

Monday, June 05, 2006

I consider myself a very rational person, but still I get scared at the thought of ghosts from time to time. It's a bit embarrassing really.. I mean, I've studied evolution and consider myself someone that sees things for what they are and try not to get carried away with any kind of mumbo jumbo. But when it's 2am and I'm about to take a shower, walking through the hallway of my house with all the lights turned off can get a little bit CREEPY!

Fricken hell.. it's too many damn ghost movies I think.
My dad would let me watch vampires and ghost movies, werewolf movies from a very young age. I think it may have warped my brain a little.

*Paragraph Three Deleted due to popular demand* ;)

Anyway, the only dreams that I have anymore are of me fighting against vampires and demons and crap like that. One time I was in a cave and fighting off vampires. Another time I was in a cruise ship and all the other people on the boat were vampires. This recent dream I had 2 nights ago wasn't a vampire dream though. I dreamt that I was hiking up a mountain with 2 other people, and then suddenly one of them collapsed onto the ground and there was an imprint of hands squeezing in on the person's neck and they couldn't breathe!

I was like f*ck, and tried to help them, but then the other person went down on the ground with the same thing happening to them. As I turned to help that one I felt myself being strangled and wrestled to the ground with nobody to be seen. Then suddenly the strangling hands ceased and the three of us got up a little bit dazed and the three of us took out a long blade from our backpacks and plunged them into our stomachs (yeah, nice dreams now thanks dad!) lol
Anyway, it turned out that I came out of this weird posessed state but the other two continued until they'd completely killed themselves.
-Skip forward 20 years and I'm now like 40-ish but still kind of young looking right (did I mention my dreams have very cinematic sequences) and anyway, the two people that killed themselves were actually posessed by demons and came back as these two evil dudes. It was supposed to be three evil ones to achieve some crap to awaken the end of the world, but because I lived it didn't work.. :P

Anyway, The other two had become these high-power execs that ran some big firm, and I'd managed to sneak in under cover to try and finish them off before they started doing bad shit. So as I was typing away at my desk in the office in the dream, I got spotted and recognised by them, and they sent their henchmen to grab me, but as they lunged for me, I leant back over this balcony and backflipped down like 50 metres and landed on my feet with cat-like reflexes (somehow I had gained super human powers..)

Well, thats where my alarm went off for work so I don't know how it was supposed to end. I guess if the dream went on I'd have killed everyone and then gangbanged with some e3 models or something like that.

Anyhow, back to the ghosts thing have you ever seen something happen that just made you throw logic out the window and go "f*ck that shit, I'm getting outta here!"
Cos one time that happened to me.
I was washing my neighbour across the street's car for $10. His name's Carlo.
Anyway, the house that he had was bought about 15 years ago, and the previous owner from what I can gather was a single mother that killed herself and the child or something, I'm not sure exactly what happened but I heard there was a death involved somewhere there. Anyway, I was washing the car, and it was a really cloudy day, black skies and thunder. And just as I was finishing up, Carlo's dog stopped frozen and staring at me, then it turned its head to look about a metre or two to my left and started growling. Then it started barking super loud with it's eyes fixed on that one spot. I looked and there was nothing in that plane of view that should have freaked out the dog like that.

Man, I just ran quicker than Forest Gump that day hahahah :D

So, just wondering if anyone else has any kinda stories bout this kind of stuff that they'd like to share. If you do, feel free to hit respond and share your frightening tales! :D
