I spend my nights in a HAUNTED HOUSE

[The Fake Shemp]

So the past week, I got a pretty nice deal.  I just need to go to this swank house in a swank neighborhood in the late evenings, feed the dog, let it out the back, spend the night and feed it and let it out in the morning.  I'm home by 10 AM and can work during the day.  There's a ton of free awesome food (and booze!) and they've got a state-of-the-art home theatre system in the basement that I hooked Twilight Princess up to and watch every movie channel ever made.  $450 for six nights and I was sold.

HERE'S THE HITCH.

It's totally haunted.  The dog barks at empty chairs and acts awkwardly sometimes.  Children's toys go off for no reason (this was kind of creepy when the Tickle Me Elmo chair went off for no reason in an empty, dark sun room).  When I go to sleep at night and close the door, I hear thumps and weird shuffling.  The latter can be confirmed by CrystalGemini, because I had to have someone tell me I wasn't losing my mind when I put the phone to the door.

Fucking ghosts.

I spent my week in Kansas in a haunted house. Janet's grandparents both died in that house, and the old dude was totally a Jew-hating bastard. Since Jew-haters always turn into evil undead, and since I with my big brain and big dick am frequently mistaken for a Jew, it only makes sense that the hard drive errors that plagued my laptop were caused by a mistaken spectral anti-Semite.

I have heard and seen shit that make you jump out of your skin, as my grandfather and father used to research this type of stuff.

The freakiest is this place that had a face form on the plywood wall, the removed that section and replaced it, and the face came back.

I've also heard voices from grave recordings and such, makes sleeping a little hard for a while.

Seriously, the house we stayed in DID have weird shit going on. Despite playing the part of Mister Rationality, I'm actually pretty superstitious and easily spooked. I swore I saw a shadow moving down the long central hall of the house several times, and random faucets in the house would turn on in the mornings and evenings. Freaky!

My brother loves ghost hunting, and wants to do a "tour" of the Peninsula to look for ghosts sometime. The entire Olympic Peninsula from Port Townsend to Aberdeen is one giant haunted stretch of country, from murdered Indians and Wobblies to shipwrecks to creepy transplanted castles to evacuated cult compounds. Good stuff!

Making rap videos in a haunted house? That's gangsta Willco

Man will always be a superstitious animal. He is cursed by his very nature to worship his reflection and fear his shadow.

Like ghosts that is nothing but a myth. Philosophy majors don't work at Burger King, the chain's hiring standards are too stringent.

Wow I just had a nightmare about this sort of thing last night eep. I shouldn't have come in this thread.

Spooky stories scare me even though I'm pretty sure I don't believe in the paranormal.

I lived in supposedly one of the most haunted areas in the US, and I never saw a ghost, ripoff total!

Athens is haunted by the fact that it is named after the city that gave birth to Western civilization while being nothing more than a third-rate town.

Yeah it pretty much sucked there, not seeing any ghosts just added insult to injury. Of course, I never did go to the old nuthouse.

I don't know how you can deal with that Willco, I probably would have pussied out...if I did stay, I would be staying up 24/7 for the whole fucken week.

I hide in the bedroom, lock the door, stay near the dog, keep the TV on and talk to CG on the phone until I get so tired I pass out.
