I just saw the Grudge and man that was a great scary suspensful movie.
It made me wonder if anyone on GL has a real ghost story or two. I have a few of my own.
I grew up in a haunted house. My father died while my mom was pregnant with me. He was murdered and left in a swamp and his body was not found for three months. During that time people constantly saw him in the area that his body was found trying to hitch hike home. My dad's mom used to get these horrible creepy calls where a younger kid in the family would answer the phone, say my dad was on the phone, and when she picked it up it was static. there were so many phone calls and sightings that no one thought he was dead and his disappearance caused a huge fight between my mom and my dads family, who thought he was afraid to be a father.
When I was a child I woke up and there was this loving glowing figure in my room. I thought it was jesus at the time but in retrospect I wonder if it wasn't my father. He was a hippie with long hair.
It was always too scary to go downstairs in the house. There was also a bunch of incidents when I was a child, like having faces outside our window and we were on the second story and having the windows slam on their own.
There was also a dog that used to be heard barking in the basement. There was a dog .. a nice dog.. that died in the winter and was buried in the crawl space.
As an adult, the only real tangable haunting i can say I experienced was a poltergeist by my cousin who commited suicide a few years ago. I was home alone one morning and I woke up and all the lights were on in the house. I thought Gary left them on when he went to work. I turned them off and went downstairs to do laundry. When I came back upstairs all the lights were back on. I turned them off again. Then I went into the bedroom and this chinese scroll started blowing like there was a breeze which there wasn't and so I was kinda freaked out. I went into the living room and the light behind my cousin's picture was turned back on. I said God Dammit MATTHEw.. stop it.. you are scaring me. And ... ever since nothing has happened again.
