 | My girlfriend's house used to be a funeral home. You can tell where this is going.
It's also at the end of a street, which is very bad feng shui. It's also being heavily renovated by her parents. AND her brother, who moved out some time ago, is the kind of person who you can tell is a magnet for bad energy (generally bad luck, anger issues manifesting as a second personality who he has actually named, and who he suspects to be the lingering, furious spirit of his stillborn twin brother, etc). Not to say I'm a new-agey sort, talking about energy and feng shui, but I mean, the guy has definitely got shit going on.
My girlfriend says she never felt the stuff in the house was necessarily malevolent, but she's seen things. Her brother, on the other hand, had frequent night terrors, and was almost never able to sleep through the night in the house. He said "they"- he wouldn't explain who- would come every night, but only to places that existed in the house's original form. So the only place he could get a full night's sleep was the porch which had been added later. He would see "them" come out, but they couldn't see him.
My girlfriend has heard voices calling for help, even calling her name. She also occasionally sees a man with a hat in her hallway at night. Anyone who goes down into the furnace room is attacked or trapped inside, etc. (though it should be noted that my girlfriend was with her brother every time she went down, and each of those times, something happened).
The one that really got to me was my girlfriend, as a small child, woke up one night, wandered into her parents' room, and said, "They came for me again."
They later found out her brother has seen five of "them" walk into her room.
So next time I see him I'm gonna try to figure out who "they" are. And I'm tempted as hell to try going into the furnace room. I'm not really one of those ghost hunter types, but I'm really curious.
What intrigued me the most is the idea of "rules"- such as that they can't see you if you're not in a place that existed when they were alive, or even the ones as basic as them only coming out at night. I wish the study of this kind of thing was more...I dunno, accepted. Just because our science can't explain it doesn't mean there's no science there. |
