Anyone Have A Scary (or spooky) Story To Share?
About anything weird or just plain unexplainable that's happened to you in your life?

I'll share one with you.

I had just got back from a three month trip in upstate NY where I worked at a ski resort. The night I got home I was dead tired, kissed my parents goodnight and told them I would tell them all about my trip when I got up in the morning. Then I went to bed.

When I woke up I told them about my experience up there skiing. When I got done I asked them "so, anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

My dad peeks his eyes over the morning paper and takes his coffee cup away from his lips and goes:

"Saw a UFO last night."

And put his head back down in the paper and continued reading and sipping his coffee.

Flabberghasted, I said "Whaaaa??"

Then my mom chimes in:

"Yeah, daddy woke me up last night at about 3 a.m. saying 'come look at this' and we both peered out the bedroom window and saw some sort of ship hovering about 50 feet over their neighbors house. It just stayed there for about a minute or two before it zoomed away. Then we went back to bed."

Stunned, I just looked at them until I went: "Why the HELL didn't you wake me up if you saw a UFO?!?!?!"

"Well, you were tired, we didn't want to wake you."

So I asked them if they were joking. They said no. I pleaded with them to please let me in on the joke. They kept denying it and maintained that they were serious.

And my father isn't the joking type. Neither is my mother. And I knew if my dad was joking my mom would eventually tell me so.

To this day she hasn't, and it's been almost four years since.

1. I'm pumping gas one morning, early Fall, and it is kinda chilly
Suddenly I turn around and this lady I was seeing is pumping gas across from me. Now we didn't part all that amiably, and I haven't seen or heard from her in several years. So, anyway, I say to her, "How you been?" and she says "Fine, and yourself" So we talk for a moment, and I ask her about her young daughter, and she says "She's doing fine"

Now I notice that this lady is wearing the same white dock shoes she used to wear, and a long coat, and she looks pretty much the same as always, and we kinda just part when she's done pumping gas. BTW, she has the same car.

Well, anyway, I tell the folks at work I saw her, and that was that, until a few weeks later I see an item in another library newlsetter announcing a colelction of books that has been donated -- In the name of this lady!!!

So I call the other library,and am told that the lady is, alas, dead and died the previous August!!!!!

Now, I am freaked, I check the obituary, and sure enough, she died SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE MEETING AT THE PUMPS!!!

I can't explain, except that someone who lookd like this woman, who I knew intimately, as they say, and happened to have a little girl and who dressed the same and drove the same car happened to gas up next to me.

I don't believe in ghosts or an after-life or whatever. But this has "haunted"me for five years now.

true story

2. One dreary day in florida
An evil looking Harpy came up to a podium and screeched: "I am stopping the recount and declaring George W. Bush the winner"

A group of heroes exclaimed: "NOOOOOO!!!!" and eventually brought their greivance to the Highest Court of the Land.

But the evil Harpy was not alone. She had "friends" in high places. They were evil too. And though 4 people in the Highest Court of the Land tried to ensure that justice was served, the evil Harpy's handlers had corrupted 5 of the Highest Court of the Land. They in turn selected George W Bush.

It was a terrible day that none have forgotten. Since that dread day nearly 4000 Americans have died as a result of the Evil Bush family's lust for the black gold that flows under the hot sands of faraway lands. Countless thousands of innocent foreign people have also died and continue to die to this day.

The story continues and may yet have a happy ending. There have risen many great people to challenge the Evil Bush family. One day in November of 2004 they may yet defeat the Evil Bush family and their truly terrifying allies which only those who are the Champions of Light call the PNAC.
