I grew up in the rural south. When I was 16 years old my parents left for vacation for 1 week and I stayed at home to run the farm.
On about the third night I thought that I heard something in the house. As the house was old it always had creaks and pops as it would cool down in the night. I just kind of laughed at how funny it was that it even scared me a little. I mean we had plenty of weapons in the house; I even slept with an SKS rifle under my bed. As I dozed off I heard something again, like a clear but low volume click that woke me all the way up. Heart pounding and the sweet numbness that comes with a dose of adrenaline, I knew that now I had to check this out. I took my rifle and started to search the house.
In this search I was resolved to empty my entire 30 shots into anything that I found. The west side was done and I was moving back towards the garage entrance on the east, when I began to feel very uneasy of the area ahead of me.
The lights in the house were out and the moon had provided ample illumination for my search. The garage light was on and I had an odd fear, no really a dread of this. Had I left the light on? I could not remember. As I advanced toward this beacon terror I had to divert my gaze to the right to see into the front hall. A brief glance confirmed that it was clear. As my line of sight clipped back to the light I felt the second crash of adrenaline hit my system. A tiny flick of movement in the light so small it could have been my imagination in any other circumstance. Frozen I stood with my rifle pointed at the door.
With no more movement seen, I slowly advanced and cleared the garage, to find the door had been locked the entire time. The next morning my when I had seen my best friend he had told me how he and his younger brother had took the hidden key to the garage and had made it to the inside door before they got afraid and turned around.
They had planned to scare me.

I am conflicted when it comes to the supernatural. Many stories have crossed my ears and I've personally witnessed the bizarre, yet I don't know how I fully feel on the subject. Let's say my family and soon to be family have bad juju when it comes to dealing with the spiritual shenanigans.
My grandmother lived in an apartment complex where her and my grandpops always saw a shadow move around the house. Didn't matter if the current room had windows, they'd occasionally see a glimpse and it would get the dogs on edge. At first my mother and I thought it was her medication screwing with her, until all four of us were sitting together at Christmas. A red bulb started to float for two seconds and when one of us went to point it out, it dropped and shattered on the floor. We all saw it; it's warped our minds since. Stuff falls from A/C, poor placement, or whatever but-- this floated.
As for my soon to be Wife's family, they have a creepy story about an Ouija board. Someone in the family brought one home, and another family member started acting stranger and stranger. When her great grandma tried to burn it; it wouldn't burn and breaking it didn't work. Not sure the rest of the details because the ones that witnessed it get uncomfortable. Even to the point of not wanting to finish the story. Makes me wonder what exactly that family member started doing to traumatize everyone else. |

I can imagine that has little to do with the technical act of nippling, and more to do with Janet Jackson being exceedingly nasty. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

I was restless one night, and decided to walk in the cool night air. It's 2am, and, in my childhood, my neighborhood was a reasonably safe place to walk around. I'm a few blocks from home, headed back. I look up and see a faint jumble of colors in the sky, hovering low a few hundred feet over the houses in my neighborhood.
I started walking toward it, trying to figure it out. Large red and green balls of light in the middle and smaller red and blue blobs of light on top and bottom, organized like some kind of chandelier in the sky. It moved once, hovered for a few minutes as I began walking faster toward it.
And then it winked out. Gone.
This was before non car-mounted cell phones were a thing. No camera, no other witnesses.

Zimmy Zeta wrote:But I can give you a full explanation for your second story: Sleep Paralysis. Especially since you said that you are a somnambulist. Sleep paralysis is basically inverse somnambulation, where your body is still asleep and thus paralyzed, yet your mind suddenly partially awake and fully self-aware. This is usually a horrifying experience, often accompanied by really scary nightmares. I had it once, too- sick stuff. But sleep paralysis can occur in every healthy person and is completely harmless.
Oh my god, Zimzim. This totally explains it! You've saved me from Pascal's gambit (at least on this one).

so i had shut off the alarm, put the phone back right where it was, went back down on all fours and crawled right back into bed with no idea what had just happened
This totally creeped me out. Is this where your EVE name comes from? I always assumed it was from the blue fella from Xmen who'd go poof.. ~ we're flying high, we're watching the world pass us by ~

Quoting when using a phone is hard
Actually my EVE name is way older then that. In college I had a small group of friends. Two of them had known each other for years and had transferred together. They never used their real names but had given each other nicknames and only responded to those. The names where supposed to reflect something personal about them.
Ofc they wanted to give me one as well, and when they realized that I had a habbit of sneaking off during the night leaving school property they started to call me Nightcrawler. It ended up being well known and ever since I was 17 only my family uses my real name, for everyone else I'm NC.
Especially since I moved to USA it's come in very handy since my Norwegian name is very difficult to pronounce in English. My better half who is doing his best to learn Norwegian is not very fond of our R's
I will admit that I attempted to watch the movie once, and I can honestly say I stayed awake for a whole five minutes of it Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles
