Memory Monday

[kida]

In light of Halloween right around the corner, I thought we could share any ghost stories or paranormal experiences. If you don't believe in that kind of thing you could always share a favorite Halloween memory.

Ooh, I have some. In the house we grew up in, my mom would sometimes feel the bed sink down while she was lying in it (as if someone had just sat at the foot of the bed, or on the other side) but she was home alone.

Also, my freshman dorm room was haunted. A lot of crazy stuff happened in our room while we lived there, I can come back later and expand on it. Here's a link though, scroll down and read about Crawford Hall - that happened in our room. www.forgottenoh.com/OU/ou.html

And there is a former mental hospital near the college campus that is considered haunted. Some really awful stuff took place there when it was operational, and there are countless reports of freaky stuff happening there since. I saw some of it myself, firsthand, a couple times that I went there for tours or to explore. More info www.forgottenoh.com/Ridges/ridges.html

I have a ton as well. A few of them happened where we are about to move back in to. (Yay.)

Anyways, once I was laying in the bedroom reading and I felt a strange feeling on the back of my calf. Like how it feels when you get chill bumps. I looked and seen a round circle about the size of a half dollar of chill bumps. No where else. I called h,he was actually my bf at the time, in there and told him about it. About that same time I felt it on my other leg in the same spot and a circle of chill bumps was up again. I told him it felt like someone touched me and asked him what if someone was in the room. That same second the closet door opened.

Later that day we were in the living room and h was vacuuming. I was sitting on the recliner and felt the chill bump feeling on my arm. I looked and there were chill bumps the same length, width and perfectly spaced as fingers. Like someone left a handprint of chill bumps on my arm. H seen it and we were both kind of weirded out.

Where we are moving to is mil's property. They own a ton of land and she grew up there. She's told me some pretty scary stuff as well. The property takes up an entire road and her mother's house is at the end followed by the house we will be moving in to.

At the house she grew up in I've experienced creepy things as well as her.

She told me when she was young, sharing a room with her younger sister, she awoke one night and seen a tall "shadow man" standing in the corner. She said it was so densely black that she couldn't see through it. Being young, she put her head under the blanket, terrified. Then she peeped out to see if it was gone and didn't see it. She looked around and it was at the foot of her bed. She was so scared and closed her eyes really tight.

When she opened her eyes it was gone but she had this sick scared feeling and slowly looked to her side and it was right beside her bed. She put her head back under the blankets and eventually fell back asleep and it was gone by morning.

kida, geners, yikes! I don't have any interesting stories. Halloween is actually one of my least favorite holidays, but it is more fun now with kids

The scariest thing that has happen to me?


I realized I am turning 40 in February and I still have a child that doesn't sleep whom most likely still won't be sleeping then either. Freaking frightening.
