This is a collection of some things that has happened that I'm a little curious about, as well as a persistent feeling I have, and share with, at least, my younger sister.
Anyway, let's get to it.
I live in my parent's house, in the northern parts of Sweden. It's a house that was built when the city was trying to attract more doctors to our hospital, and so, it's large and the place where my room is located is made to be able to work as an apartment in the house. And since I am looking for a job while studying now, I tend to stay up late, which has led to a couple of things happening, every now and then.
The first was some time ago, a couple of weeks after I had last played F.E.A.R. I don't remember if I couldn't sleep, or if I woke up. Anyway, I looked away from the wall my bed is next to, towards the area where I have a small kitchen, covered by white... Drapes, I suppose. On the drapes, I saw the silhouette of a girl, with long hair, standing sideways to me. Nothing happened, and, thinking logically, have blamed it on the chair I have next to the drapes, to somehow cast a weird silhouette. What I did that night, anyway, was to merely turn towards the wall, close my eyes and fall asleep. So, this I, personally, blame on the fact that I had been playing F.E.A.R, although some time had passed, combined with the chair.
The second thing was when I was up by the computer, and had to go to the bathroom. Once I entered the hall outside my room, which connects a secondary exit, another room, the bathroom and the hall to the rest of the house, I felt this sensation of something not wanting me there. I freaked out, and would've preferred to just go back into my room, but I had little choice, so I pushed forward and flipped the switch, which is about halfway through the hall. Once I did, the sensation disappeared, and I carried on.
The third thing is that both I and my little sister have constant fear of the mirrors in the building. I normally don't care much about mirrors, except for jokingly imagine that you bend over, and when you look back, something is there. But for some reason, I can't bear to look into the mirrors in this house until I've turned on the lights. Nothing substantial, in other words, just this weird feeling.
In regard of the second thing, I have often felt that I can't leave the room, that there is something outside that doesn't want me there. On occasions, I am convinced that I hear sounds coming from the hall, but I blame it on the sounds from buildings when all is quiet.
Will be moving in April, to an apartment with a rather odd basement. In one of the rooms, where the heater for water is, there stands a chair, facing towards the wall. Had kind of a spooky feel to it, but I think that was merely imagination.
Anyway, I am of the mind that I do not believe until I really see something that can't be blamed on something else, although I am intrigued by the thought of ghost and other entities. So, at the same time that I have wanted to use something that will bring proof (Ouija-boards come to mind, or a game called "the spirit in the glass", directly translated), I have much too much respect for the unknown to be foolish enough to try something like that. After all, if I am proven that there are otherworldly entities; it seems stupid to have antagonized them, especially considering some of what I've read here. So, bring on your thoughts, I'd very much like to hear what you've got to say.
[at] Hiya: Yea, that is my guess as well, although there had been some time since I last played when it heard. But that could most certainly be the case. And, being skeptic myself, that is what I believe as well.
[at] Spirits: Yea, it has an awesome story though, and I can't wait for F.3.A.R. But, scary as it is, I found that Amnesia is a hell of a lot worse. I tried to play it together with two friends, but I froze. That game just got to me. Could hardly do anything.
To all of you, thanks for the comments, again. It feels great to be able to ask those that feel more certain about these things than I do, and to read your stories.
