are you scared?

My son, then aged three, once came out with a long statement as we passed some flowers about the flowers in the church a long time ago when he was in the box and the mummy he'd had before was crying and crying.

like does any situation scare you?

I live in the hood. Not too bad in my city, but when i lived in a huge city - i lived in the hood there too. Gun shots, muggings, stabbings, blah blah blah. I didn't care - I went about my business like normal.

BUT ... when I'm home alone at night, to this day, I'm afraid the girl from The Ring is going to crawl out of my television.

Hell, stop it.

That bloody movie, do you know I watched it when it first came out, I watched it on video, not DVD. This is totally, 100% true what I am about to say.

Exactly one week later and to the hour I was sitting at our main computer which is in the next room to the TV, I had the TV on but had gone onto the computer in this other room and could hear the TV blaring away. I was at home alone, because hubby had had to go out.

Suddenly, the sound on the TV ceased and you know that sound that the video made in The Ring, sort of like white noise, a sssshhhhhh sort of noise? Well that was the exact sound coming from the TV. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I literally just froze. Frozen to the bloody spot!

I knew that I was going to have to get up and I ventured out into the hallway and closed my eyes, then taking a deep breath I peered around the corner, but not before opening the front door which was directly next to me, because I am not ashamed to admit that if a picture of a well were to suddenly appear on that screen, I was going to be off and out of here and down the road faster than Linford Christie!!!!

What I saw when I gingerly looked around the corner, was that the TV service had temporarily gone down, it was NOT a well - thank God!! :laugh:

Do you know, just thinking back to that evening has made me break out into a cold sweat right now. I so hate that movie, I cannot for the life of me imagine why I went and bought it on DVD a few months back either!!! :noway:

i live in a really rough town in mid wales. there has been numerous robberies in different shops in town! people steal LCD tv's and everything! few months ago Barclays bank, and natwest bank got robbed within a few days apart from each other. Somone held a gun up to one of the workers in Natwest bank. My friend got knifed summer last year, and was in hospital for a long time recovering from stab injuries =/. its a really rough town here! Not to mention all the drugies that are about. Thats why im freakin scared to go for a jog outside at night time on my own!! and i normaly go with a friend.

secondly, my house is haunted - like real bad. the house that i live in and all my neighbours houses here used to be an old peoples home back in 1700's, loads of old, mentally disabled people died here. someone probably died in my bedroom :laugh:. soo all of these houses are really haunted. our floor boards upstairs are really creaky, and when everyones asleep at night, i can hear foot steps all over the landing, and into my mums bedroom (her floor boards are really bad!).. when im downstairs watching tv, i see black shadows go past the livingroom door, our bannister that goes up the stairs is like an old wooden kinda thing, and that makes a hell of a noise when you hold on to it to go up the stairs, well late at night thats always making noises. little bits n bobs get moved around in my bedroom, nothing like my TV or my desk or anything :laugh: but just little things like hair brush, bottles of body spray etc etc. a few weeks ago, i went to bed and i left my netbook lid open, i woke up in the morning and it was closed! =/ i hear cups been placed on the kitchen surfaces downstairs too, few months ago it was about 4am, and i heard a plate smash on the floor.

sooo yeah, wen im home alone, i get real scared! i have to lock the front door and back door, i close all the doors in my house, and i stay upstairs in my bedroom!
