My name is Catherine, I live in a very old town in Northern Ireland by the name of Carrickfergus. When I was younger my school went on a visit to the Castle in the town, (it is known to be haunted) it is 800 years old. I was only about 7yrs old, I really needed the toilet and my teacher let me leave the group to go off to the toilet on my own. They were very old fashioned toilets with one cubicle and a pull chain to flush. I went into the toilet but the door was locked and I could clearly hear someone inside the cubicle there was a childish like giggle, so I waited.
After a few minutes I heard the toilet chain pull and the toilet flush, the door unlocked but didn't open. I was so impatient because I really needed the toilet that I pushed the door open, and no one was in the toilet cubicle, I was so terrified I ran back to my group and told my teacher who of course didn't believe me. I don't know if it was a figment of my imagination because I was so young, but to this day I truly believe there was somthing in that toilet cubicle!
Just thought I'd share this memory with you all. I do come from a old historical town. There has been a few tv documentaries on it and I feel I have witnessed something, but haven't told anyone because for so long I was petrified because I was so young. And as the years have passed I've made myself believe it did not happen.
Also in the past year it has become a natural occurance that I am to wake up at night around half three, but its manily 3:33am or 3:34 am, I always feel as if I hear something walking downstairs or there's somthing in my room, it freaked me out at first because of the number 333, I think its associated with the devil I'm not sure, I've ignored it anyway. Until a few nights ago I was in a deep sleep but all of a sudden I woke up because I felt somthing go down my throat in which I woke up in tears coughing. It scared me, and is the reason I found this website.
It made me think back to the time of when I was younger in the castle, and wanted to share my memory, but also wanted to bring this incident up. I have no idea what is going on, I do believe in everything- anything is possible, just wondering if anyone thinks something is happening to me?
The 'Haunting' may be questionable but it's the FACTS concerning the murders that I am referring to.
Ronald DeFeo, Jr. Was convicted of killing his Family in Amityville, NY. The time of the shootings was determined to be around 3 - 3:30 am on Tuesday November 13, 1974.
In the Book and Movie they 'focused on' this time, so there is a bit of 'FACT' mixed in with the controversy surrounding the 'Haunting'. Thus proving my point that '3AM' being the Witching Hour is just a Hollywood Construct. Thank you for playing.
Respectfully,
