Do you believe in ghosts?

Ok, I read an entry on Breigh’s site, and she talks about this one odd time that would probably make anyone question their sanity. (I know I would.) It’s a very interesting story, and inspired me to talk about one of my own experiences.

Now imagine this. It’s Halloween. (of course it is. You know it’s not interseting if it’s not All Hallow’s Eve.) A group of my friends and I are sitting around talking about spooky stories. Someone then decides to bring up the Ouija Board. (of course.) So we’re playing the Ouija. A bit of backstory, I’ve done the ouija board many times, and have even been witness to it, but never touched it and it still talks about me and odd things that no one doing it knows about me. It’s too freaky, but that’s another story.

So we’re all sitting around the ouija board, and talking to spirits and such. All fun until our friend Cricket starts laughing. If you knew our friend Cricket, think of the name, she’s just like it. She couldn’t have stood any taller than 5 feet tall, very cutesy voice, overall, just a “hello, i’m chipper” kinda girl. She starts with a small laugh, then starts to chuckle. If you know Cricket, she never “chuckles.” It sounds so different. So creepy. And all at once, the other 2 people in the room and I lock eyes. And we say, at the same time. “I just got the chills.” Cricket at this point is continuing to laugh, and has her eyes shut, but turns her head to one of my friends. With a deep, husky voice, she says, “Hello.”

So come to find out, it’s not Cricket sitting there, but instead it’s a woman who’s been dead for over a 100 years (or so who knows.) and she was raped and killed. Whoa. She claimed her name was Alexandria and she was “borrowing’ Crickets body for just a short time. The entire time, it was really creepy. I mean, at first, we thought that Cricket was just pretending. You know, ha ha, all fun and games, smoke and mirrors. But no, she (Alexandria) insisted that this was real.

Finally I had enough. I left the room because I was really getting creeped out and one of our friends finally convinced “Alexandria” to let Cricket have her body back. Looking back, Cricket acted as if she just woke up, and knew that some time had passed, but she didn’t know or remember what happened. I suppose she was probably lying all this time, but you know. If you were in that room, you’d understand that it was very creepy. Very, very creepy.

Do I belive in ghosts? Sure. I believe in something. I don’t know what it is, but I believe.

    I’ve had some creepy experiences myself.  Not with a Ouija board, but still.  Weird just the same.

    I swear there was something living in the computer room of my mom’s house for the years I was in college.  I’d stay up late and then go down the stairs – or up the stairs – and have to pass that room and I’d get all creeped out.  For no reason.  Had to have the stair light on.  Why?  Dunno.  But – it creeped me out like the rest of my house in the dark – didn’t.  I wonder why?

    Hrmmm.  Maybe I’ve said too much.  (;

    Well, the scientific explanation of course, is that in certain situations, your sense are heightened. You know how when you’re home alone, and it’s storming outside or whatever, but it seems like you hear things more often? It’s because you’re alone at that time, and your sense of hearing is higher than usual.

    They say your body senses are heightened because you’re alone, and you don’t have someone else to “back you up” if you will.

    So that could be the cause of your creepiness. but just the fact that the rest of the house didn’t creep you out…that’s scary!

    I do hear things more often when I’m home alone.  Though – I’m more used to it now?  I – don’t know?  I don’t know that I *hear* stuff these days.  It’s me and the cat.  Maybe the cat being all calm keeps me calm.  (;

    But – yeah.  It was creepy.  And just that one door.  The other door to the room meant nothing.  Nor the room next to it.  And the two rooms are really mostly connected as the doors are just archways anyway.  No actual doors. 

    It doesn’t do it anymore.  I wonder why?

    I definitely believe in ghosts. I mentioned in a blogathon post about the spirit(s) at one of the pizza places where I used to work and one of the houses where I used to live. In addition, I also believe there are other entities that have access to this dimension. I’m not sure what they are exactly and am not too eager to really find out.

    I had a bad, frightening experience with a Ouija Board when I was in grade school…scared the *bleep* out of me! Haven’t touched one since.

    I love when you pimp my site :)

    I ALSO had an experience with a Ouija board but I’m saving that one for the next time I write about my creepy experiences.  Probably tomorrow!

    Btw, I’m going to add you to my blogroll, hope you don’t mind! :)

    You know, I think everyone has had weird experiences with Ouija boards. I would just love to hear about them all! :)

    Wasn’t there some character in a movie or book that would collect stories about people? Oooh that was Interview with the Vampire. yeah, that’s me. I’m a collector, but I collect ghost stories. Freaky huh?

    Breigh, feel free, I already added you to mine, so evens stevens. :P
