=Things I have READ=

Sounds Paranormal

 * Someone posted in a 2008 SomethingAwful spooky thread about how he had a house with an invisible monster (which sounds to me like the Jersey Devil, only he never said anything about JD, nor did anyone else.) and although he never saw it, he just "knew" it was in his basement. He had no real reason to believe that, so he kept it to himself. When his girlfriend moved in, the basement freaked her out, and she told him that she "just KNEW" that there was a horse-man-bat monster in the basement. (I can't find it again. I hope someone salvaged it.)


 * Someone in an SA spooky thread has a (very, very logical and serious) boyfriend that was in Estonia, guarding a big field from some boars. Whenever he'd hear a rustle, he'd fire a shot in the air to scare the boars off. One night, he was really tired but obligated to stay at his post. Then, rustling sounded in the far end of the field, but firing shots wasn't enough to scare it off. He then began to hear locusts buzzing in his ears, and the closer to him the thing rustling in the field was, the louder the invisible locusts would buzz at him. Eventually, it left or something. Maybe he ran away. (I forgot.). The next day, he was watching TV and an Estonian guy who believed strongly in paranormal, mystical stuff was talking about some kind of entity (evil) whose presence was warned with the sounds of invisible locusts in your ears. (This reminded me of the Bone comic book series.)


 * SA Spooky Thread: A family of four moved into some weird apartment. Our hero's brother was there first, with the mom or someone, and in his room at night, a "portal thing full of swirling colors" announced itself with soft, classical-type piano-ish music (??), and freaked him out a little too much. Later, our hero is at that house, and in the bedroom he hears classicalish, piano-type music, looks up, and there's that "portal" with swirling colors on the ceiling. When he moves to the living room sofa, he hears the music behind him, and there's the musical portal on the wall. His mom, in her bedroom, reported feeling a "presence" in her dark room. She invoked Jesus' name and commanded it to leave, which it did. Our Hero finishes his tale with "fuck that place".

Sounds Like Dreams and Hallucinations

 * A person was sharing her paranormal experiences on the Internet, on some imageboard in 2008. She was once laying in bed, with her bedroom door open so that she could see into the hallway. A glowing white-blueish figure of a plague doctor drifted into her view in the hallway, and slowly opened his beak and shut it repeatedly (I don't think those masks can actually do that IRL.) She was too scared to move, and eventually it went away.


 * Someone in 2006 on some small forum was at her desk, and her bare foot hit some squishy, furry invisible thing that felt like a cat. She had no cat, and of course there was nothing under her desk. (I think she lives in Eastern Europe

Sounds Like Mind-Altering Substances

 * SA Spooky Thread: Four kids are exploring an abandoned insane asylum for children, that got suddenly evacuated (Deduced this from moldy food being in the cafeteria, with plates on the table and everything.) that violated building codes by being too tall to evacuate in case of fire or some other disaster. Armed with flashlights, the four boys enter the asylum. On some higher floors they find beer cans strewn around ("who the fuck would party in an abandoned asylum?"), graffiti, food out on trays on the table and in the buffet and serving counter, green and moldy. Two or three of their flashlights go out, and they better leave soon (Should have brought spares.). Finally, on one of the lower levels, the boys find a tiny, tiny door. This little itty bitty door, too small for a person, freaks them out. As Our Hero describes, "it's like the building itself was mocking us". The boys finally haul ass out of there. At the end, they can't agree on how big the door was, or if there was even a door at all. Our Hero ponders about the possibility of a gas leak being there to mess with their heads. (Might explain why it was suddenly evacuated.)


 * People that take a particular prescription drug for fun consistently see evil muppets. Consistently. Forgot the name. Began with "Z" or "X" or something.

=Things I have actually HEARD=


 * High School Health Teacher (Not a logical person at all.) was on some ghost tourism stuff (forgot where.), and this haunted place (Was it a bar??) had an exposed brick wall. The tour guide had the tourists put their backs up against this wall one by one. When Health Teacher did it, she went "eeerrrngghh someone killed a guy and buried him in this wall!!". Tour Guide said she was correct.


 * The same lady also worked at a local restaurant (Which I won't name.) that no one wanted to be working in after 10 PM (I guess that would be the custodians and scullery maids.) because at that time, two ghost men would suddenly appear in a large dining room with a huge table and have ghost dinner.


 * Local ghosts in businesses get mad when someone brings CDs or other decadent newfangled electro-doohickeys into their basements and send everything flying. Owners think it's cute. (Okay I read that in the paper ~10 years ago, but it's local, so hey.)
