The power of Christ compels you!

Hey, whatsup! Some people seem to be reading this, thats awesome. Tell all your friends, well have fun!


Anyhow, I know Im a little late on a topic like this(about a month, to be exact...) but I figured it was a decent topic. Ok, here goes...


So, yesterday my girlfriend and I were enjoying a nice evening in, and I was washing some dishes, as we were getting ready to cook dinner. So, we have been watching the Unsolved Mysteries boxsets all day, because it was just that kind of nice, relaxing day. We love Unsolved Mysteries, and if you dont something is wrong with you, and should get checked out. So, anyway, as Im watching dishes, one of the episodes on the dvd is about Demonic Possesion, and Exorcisms and shit like that. Now, I dont believe in God, and I havent since about 3rd grade. However, ghost stories really intrigue me. I have always been into stuff like that. My girlfriend is always thinking Im crazy because I never read stuff like Doctor Seuss when I was a kid, but thats because in first grade I would check out books about the occult, UFOS, ghosts, legends, etc. Ive always been fascinated with the unknown. So, anyhow, being that I dont believe in God, Heaven, Hell, or anything of that stuff, I doesnt make sense that I would believe in "ghosts". And Im not sure that I do, though as said before, they intrigue the hell out of me. But for some reason, the topic of Demonic Possesion absolutely TERRIFIES me.

I truly cant explain it. I dont believe in demons, the devil, ghosts invading spirits, etc, but whenever I watch some silly special on shit like this, I get all freaked out. Obviously its disturbing to see someone with such a strong mental illness that makes them think that a demon is in their body, sure, thats a given. But sometimes in the back of my mind Im like, "hrm, maybe Im wrong on this, cause that looks fucked up. I did vote for Kerry in 04, so Ive certainly been wrong before. Hell, I bought the first Taking Back Sunday record, sometimes I obviously dont think things through.."



So, these dumb thoughts will run through my mind, and Ill start really scaring myself. Lastnight after rehearsal I tried to sleep and I woke up around 2am. I was pretty awake for some reason and realized I was hearing a tapping sound in my kitchen. I went in there, and nothing. I went to take a pee, because I do that sometimes, and I hear this noise again, a tapping, coming from my bedroom(the other side of my apartment, where I obviously was before checking out the noise in the kitchen) and by now Im kinda freaked out. So, I turn the lights on and see if my cat is doing something, but he isnt, in fact, hes fast asleep. Any normal night, I wouldnt give two thoughts to these noises. I live in the city, I hear weird shit outside every night. My window in my living room was open a tad, so the wind could have been blowing. It could have been someone outside in a car, as this happens alot. It could have been anything, and on any given night it would have been. But not lastnight. No, because lastnight I was sure it was something fucked up that I couldnt explain. Why? Because I was freaking myself out over nonsense. We all do it. You get freaked about something and then the next thing you know you wish it was morning and you were on your way to work. Or, Im a huge baby, who knows. Anyhow, the noise continued off and on for about an hour, and I figured it may have been a neighbor downstairs, as I did hear the water at some point. The weird thing is, I dont think anyone lives in the unit below me, as that is the only unit who I do not know who lives there... So yeah. I was creeped. Then it stopped, and I went right to sleep!

So, sure, this story is completely boring, but it freaked me out, ALOT.

So I ask you people that read this: What kind of fucked up crazy shit has scared the hell out of you over the years? Ive got a couple of good stories about my Moms house as well, but Ill save em for another rainy day. I dont want anyone to answer this with "Pete Wentz had a child". Sure, thats terrifying, but not what Im going for here.

Everyone have a safe Holiday this week, and spare a poor turkey and eat some veggies, kplzthnx!
