A scary time...

[The Dark Elf]

Ok, its 12:12am, im sat up here, converted attic which is also my home office, everyone else is asleep.

The area is in two parts, with a light in either part, the farthest part towards the entrance has the light switch at the bottom of the stairs in the room below. As I've currently got a stinking headache and sensitive eyes I've only got a low light desklamp switched on up here and the light in the other part as ambient light, take the edge off the darkness without being too bright.

Anyhoo, nobody else is awake but me, and someone keeps turning the other light off and whispering, from where I'm sitting I can just see the corner of the entrance, I've walked over and looked down into the room below where the switch is and its empty, nobody is in there and its door is too creaky to close without making a sound, there isn't a soul there, but when the light goes out its darkness in that part of the attic.

It hasn't done it now for a few minutes, but bare in mind, not a single person is currently awake but me.. and someone was switching the light off and whispering


I need a hug lol


Just thought I'd share cause it was either this or a thread about what your favorite sarnie was

Both. If it is a ghost, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!!!!!

 

[Shakermaker]

Couldn't it be someone who went back to sleep?

Fav sarnie: a ciabatta with butter and spianata calabrese.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

start screaming your ****ing head off, that way someone from down stairs will run up and the lights will come on and everyone will be happy again.

 

[nw909]

I'd probably run outside with no pants on screaming like a 8 year old girl.

I need a hug

*me hugs fenric.

nope, the door was shut and it can't be opened or closed without it making a good deal of noise, enough to wake people up. Window is a new one and secure, no other way in

It gets worse, my paranoia has taken control now and so when I see a reflection through the second monitor of part of the area behind me, I keep catching sight of stray hairs (I've got long hair) and keep thinking its someone moving back there (there's some shelves and second wall around where the chimmney is, so you can just see through the open space into the other side, enough to think something flashing infront of it is something moving past.. I keep getting visions of catching sight of the reflection and seeing someone looking around the side at me.. I swear I don't need this with a headache lol!

This is funny.. I'm absolutely terrified right now hahaha


ok it just did it again, this is not funny anymore



Edit: update, ok it just went crazy, flashing on and off on and off like morse code and got quicker and quicker before i got to the light and switched it off completely, my head is throbbing and im in agony and some f*cking entity is screwing around with my lights! and now something is banging

why would you take your pants off?

edit: fenric, seriously dude, just make a mad dash for the downstairs, lungs blazing.

 

[nw909]

I don't need pants on a 12 am.

LOL, w0rd man..

You could put some dutch tape or something like that on the switch and turn on some lights in your room(so you'll get rid off reflections on monitor) , shut the door..... And then you'll prolly be fine.

well after the banging started i put all the lights on, the banging stopped but if anything starts up again I'm gonna leave somethin recording and then go stay at a hotel or something or just walk around in the streets where I'd feel safer lol

 

[nw909]

Banging?

ooo, freaky, go get a heavy metal bar and throw it at anything that moves.

yeah all the lights are on now.. though unfortunately the reflection now shows that part near the entrance as complete darkness.. unfortunately the space between the two area's up here, which used to be a doorway doesn't have one now, got in the way too much.. wish I'd kept it now eh


I know before I've said I like being scared out of my skin, but thats always been during the day, I don't like it when its happening lol

hehe only thing confirmed as moving is me.. looking back and forth every second and shaking like a leaf.. I keep "thinking" I see something moving in the reflection but there's nothing there.. But I've really got a horrible feeling of being watched, only other possibility is there's something outside the window but screw that I ain't looking *hides under a blanket*

 

[ray_MAN]

Most of the time nothing is there. Don't let your fears get the best of you. I usually play music when I am scared. Or I do kung fu and get a cap gun.

Hah.

Yeah, cap gun vs. real gun, which would win?

 

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

/me hugs all the outta Fenric

Im not the guy to pass up a good hug!

Now time for a group hug!

 

[ray_MAN]

At least the cap gun makes me feel safe. Get a bread knife Fenric. They work like hell.

Dude call preist or something to exorcise<sp?> your house. thats stuffs scary, do u think maube some one who u think is sleeping is just playing trix on you?

 

[CyberSh33p]

A house has abs?

 

[D33]

Heh, that partially happened to me the other day. Light kept fking about then started flickering on and off rapidly like moarse code.

I just turned around and started talking to it and it stopped

nope, only person likely to pull a stunt like that here would be me, and im too scared to lol

I've since moved the other monitor so I can't see the reflection behind me, put Paramount Channel on and looking through jokes websites to try get my mind off it. TV's pretty loud now but I can still hear the banging sometimes, it sounds like someones running back and forth tapping loudly with the palm of their hands against the walls.. but they can't be cause I'd clearly see them, so err yeah

I should also add that I was earlier using a brainwave generator to try cure the headache, and those frequencies are close to the ones that induce a sense of fear. So I'm trying to convince myself thats had something to do with it.. Though would only explain the feeling of being watched, wouldn't explain the banging or the switching the lights on and off or the whispering come to that, that was probably the worst bit, if something is whispering to you then its aware of your presence.. *shivers*

Now if it was a friendly or playful ghost I wouldn't mind so much. We do have a ghost of my old cat Smokey that I used to see a lot, she'd run past and into bedrooms out of the corner of your eye and sometimes brush up against your leg or sometimes scratch you (just before she was put down she scratched my mom for the first time, she'd never once gone for her before and the scratch lasted for months) But you never got a feeling of fear when you saw her. Our current cat sometimes see's her and runs after her trying to see where she's gone.

But this.. this just doesn't feel right, feels like its riight behind me and if i look around I'll see something.. time to watch Cheers, should help

PS thanks for the hug Selas

 

[Lil' Timmy]

it's casper! :imu: he's so cute, play with him!

 

[nw909]

You could have rats in your walls, chewing on wires could make the lights go out and stuff, the banging could be them running in the walls.

but thats just a try for me to get a meaningful explaination.

hehehe, I tried that at first, well not so much talking more like swearing and telling whoever it was to stop fing around with the lights.. lol

It's weird, the floors and walls are thin here, and I can't make much noise without waking someone up, yet nobody yet has complained about being woken up from the banging and I mean, it was pretty loud, loud enough to wake people up.. I wish someone would wake up hahaha

It's a possibility, there are probably ways for things like that to get into the walls.. I mean recently I've been finding lots of wasps appearing from nowhere, I've never seen those when its so cold or this time of year neither (maybe the long hot summer this year i guess) and it could be possible somethings got through from the neighbours house
.. and there is a good four or five inche space in the ceiling so it could be entirely possible


... and i just heard the steps creaking.. i wish 5:30am would hurry up ;(;(

If you have a migrane headach, that can make it appear lights are flickering, and all sounds are MUCH louder...
(I know, I used to get them alot)

still, weird.

Keep some mirrors around. Or better yet, goto bed.

 

[Dedalus]

down she scratched my mom for the first time

mom?!?!? MOM?!?!?!? i thought you were english you lying pig dog!!

anyway, aside from that terrible freudian slip there are two possibilities here. 1. fenric is having us all on and 2. he's gonna die. i get dibs on his software collection!!

apart from that, all i can say is THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU!!! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU!!! then twist your head around and do some projectile vomit. at this point the ghost will be like "holy shit dave i'm not haunting him anymore he's freaking crazy"..."yeah let's go haunt the pub".

feeling better?

no the light was being switched on and off. but I know what you mean with the migraine thing, its effected my sister before but I usually just suffer from nasty headaches and the feeling of wanting to be sick, the flashing lights happens to my sister all the time



course now im becoming a little more reasonable about this and calming down I'm trying to see the scientific possibilities of it.. the banging noises could perhaps be something caught somewhere, the light flickering could be the light is nearing the end of its life, the whispering i don't know, i've not heard whispering like that, it was like, coming from down there, but i was hearing it near me at the same time, the seeing things is just my paranoia

atleast this is what im trying to convice myself with, I dont' think I'm doing very well *hides again* lol

 

[pat_thetic]

Um, why don't you just go downstairs and check it out?

'mäm or 'm&m

 

[Dedalus]

get some decent music playing. rage against the machine, nirvana, put some classical music on. also, get hold of this tune: Gary Jules - Mad World. or you could get the Tears For Fears version. either one will calm you down.

i had a ghost in here last year. i was all alone as well for a week with this thing. kept on rewinding my video tapes (i'd gotten loads out form blockbuster to pass the time), my remote control kept on moving from where i left it last night. one time i put a coaster on top of the remote, then a glass of water on top of the coaster. it was very sturdy. came down in the morning and the water was spilled, the coaster was on the floor and the remote was hooked up into the light fixture. weird yes. strange yes. scary yes. shit inducing, you better fookin believe it. i didn't sleep for about 4 days just trying to see these things happen. my parents came home to find a house full of ghost traps which i had set up.

if you've got a little lamp type thing, put that into the offending room, turn off the light in that room and pug the lamp in. if the lamp doesn't go off then you can account it to a faulty light. if the lamp goes off then you'd better fookin run, and take your parents with you.

I spent too long in the US I keep calling pounds dollars and pavements sidewalks, I can't help it heh

1. I wish I were having you on, believe me I wish I were! lol all I need now is the power to go out and thats it I'll be screaming like a little girl until its back on haha

ooh there's an idea *strips off* there, that should scare everything and anything away

Already have, a few times now, doors tightly closed, no windows open, not enough room to hide anywhere. Everyone asleep, Budgie asleep in the living room, Cat locked up in the Dinning room. Checked outside with the lights, no prowlers around. It's actually quiet out, nobody crawling home after a late night lock-in or anything.

On the plus side I've been distracted long enough to realise my headache is finally going, and no weird stuff is happening as bad as it was so maybe A2597 had a point with the migraine.. hope so anyway

I've only got charlotte church handy right now, maybe that'll do the trick

ack thats bad. And you were alone too? erk I'd have probably just left and refused to come back

if you've got a little lamp type thing, put that into the offending room, turn off the light in that room and pug the lamp in. if the lamp doesn't go off then you can account it to a faulty light. if the lamp goes off then you'd better fookin run, and take your parents with you.

heh I'll leave my parents, all it has to do is wake my dad up and its screwed, he used to be in the army and quite capable of making anyone cry like a baby when he shouts, even supernatural stuff haha

 

[Dedalus]

fenric thanks to you now i can't go to sleep. i've had to turn the lights on myself it's getting a little creepy round here.

well good luck to you, keep posting a blow by blow timetable of the events if possible.

 

[The DemonWithin]
