Well, my house is haunted...

Also, it should be noted that I just downloaded the movie "The Ring." I watched the first 5 minutes in which a story of a tape that killed through the TV was told...and a possessed TV was displayed. I immediately turned the dvd player off @ that point in time (considering it was being played upon a possessed tv). It was less than 5 minutes after I turned it off that the events in the last post occurred.

*Edit - Another Thing is that my brother and I were planning on using a Ouija Board to contact the spirit before any of the aforementioned but my mother said that we shouldn't do such since it was Christmas Eve Night...so, like good kids, we took her advice. With that in mind, I'm not sure if it was a good decision or not...maybe it's pissed that we didn't talk to it...or maybe it'd be worse if we had...or maybe it's all just electrical problems and Ouija Boards are horseshit...who knows.

hmmm yeah your house is haunted, i was doubting it at first but now I concur that it is in fact haunted. (my apologies i took this part out, it wasn’t appropriate)

I mean I've heard terrible ideas in the past, but pissing off a ghost that I seem to have no control over tops the list. Not only that, but the possibility that it's my grandpa definitely rules out a pissing off...he's a good guy.

[StDx]

buckeye,
not only is the grandpa a good guy, but he'd fuck you up.

[buckeye]

sorry orgazmo, i would just like to see the ghost directly react to something you do. Thats what i was shooting for. I just think it would be interesting to see what the ghost does, pissing it of probably isnt the best idea, but anything that would get a reply from the ghost that directly correlates to yourself would be a good idea. Be nice to it, do something that your grandpa liked to do, whatever. I think you should try something to get it to respond.

Man, ghosts need to learn to communicate more openly.....

[Trout Sniffer]

Orgazmo, that's a really freaky story! I don't know if i would want to continue living in that house if all of this happened. If it is your grandpa, i suppose you have nothing to worry about, but if not, then that's another story. I would like to try and contact this ghost with you with a Quiji board, if you're interested in my help. Well, I hope you and your brother have a nice Christmas break, and hopefully no more of this will come about during it. Merry Christmas Orgazmo

[Lethal]

Do you happen to know any history of the house? Like did you build it or did someone live there before you? Maybe this could help in the story. I think its your grandpa but there are other possibilities.

I the house was built for my parents 20 some years ago...

[Ugly Bastard]

Orgazmo-

This story is all very interesting to me.

I would say however, that the most interesting part of the story, is the fact that you failed to phone me while all of this was happening.

I have a burning desire to witness some of these events that are taking place at your home. Please Orgazmo, let me come watch.

Hurry up and use that board. And get all of this on tape. Then you can sell it, and turn your house into a money making machine.

[tonguegina]

How long have Ugly Bastard and I been telling you it was your grandfather's ghost? God I love being right all the time. Next time give us a call while it's happening. I know I'll be up. I really wanna see this, and when you do break out the Ouiji board, I better be there...I was the first to suggest it.

[StDx]

it's my board... among other things, so I have to be there too.

Well, my friends, the television has struck again. Go ahead and imagine the following...

At approximately 11:55, I enter my front door along with Ugly Bastard. He had left his keys inside my house so, upon arrival with him in my car, we needed to come inside so that he could recover his belongings. Of course, my mother and father were fast asleep at this hour...something that isn't surprising. What was surprising was the fact that the kitchen light and the television were both turned on (the computer was on too...but that is irrelevent). You see, 99% of the times that I have come home after my father has gone to bed, the kitchen light and tv have been turned off...and just the computer has been left on. Ugly Bastard made a sarcastic comment about the television being on and I went to on explain that it actually was a bit odd...because it normally isn't on, along with the kitchen light, but I went on to say that I figured my father had left the two on knowing that I would be returning with UB so that he could get his shit. Ugly got a bit excited, thinking that there was at least a small chance that he had seen the television after it had turned itself on, but I insisted that it had to have just been my dad leaving it on. He got his keys and left...

Right after he left, I took my shoes off, put my phone, watch, and cd player face in my room, and pissed. After this, I went into the living room and looked to my right only to see THE TV WAS TURNED OFF! Yes, that's right. In the less than a minute that I was not in the living room, the television had turned itself off... At this point in time, scared shitless, I turned it back on. Upon doing so, I noticed it was ON CHANNEL 36! Even more freaked out, I calmly changed it to 54, turned on an extra set of lights, and came to the computer to update the Nubblies community on the haunting situation.

Let me do a quick recap of the happenings:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>UB & I enter my house
<LI>I notice the tv and lights are uncharacteristically on...but think nothing of it
<LI>UB makes some sarcastic comments about the TV being haunted...
<LI>UB makes a sarcastic comment about my screensaver (which is a hand that draws pictures) being my grandfather drawing a picture (it was a picture of elvis presley, but that's neither here nor there)
<LI>I take the side of logic and send UB on his way
<LI>I retire to the back portion of my house for no longer than 2 minutes
<LI>I come back out to see the TV turned off
<LI>I turn it on, to see it has changed channels (to channel 36) (the time at this point is 11:59)
<LI>I shit my pants and continue on with life like nothing happened...[/list]Folks, I'm a bit freaked out...

[Combat Chuck]

I don't know if this is just me, but I want to experience something like this sort of happening at least once in my life.

I work at the Wagon Wheel theater, and we have a very famous ghost, Herb. There have been multiple sightings of Herb and one employee actually was touched by him.

However, whenever I'm there late at night, he doesn't grace me with his prescence. Bastard.

[gbc]

i saw a ghost in my house and i fucked it

jkjk

A small update:

I asked my dad if he turned the tv/computer/lights off or left them on before he went to bed last night. Turns out he left the light and computer on, but had turned the TV off... He didn't remember what channel it was on when he turned it off.

This means that sometime between the time he went to bed and 11:55, the TV turn on and then sometime between 11:57 and 11:59 it turned back off. Just thought I'd throw that little detail in there...

[ty27]

That is indeed some freaky shit. I agree with Buckeye, you definatley need to arouse some identification out of this. Personally I think that it is your grandfather, although when you get involved with this supernatural shit, you can never know. Good luck tonight.

One week and 2 days after the landscape lights flashed for the first time...the landscape lights have flashed for a second time. While it may not sound like a big deal...there are eerie circumstances surrounding it all. Firstly, since the first flashing on Christmas Eve night, the lights have been fine. I thought that they stopped working for awhile after the big snow...but when the snow all melted they were all on (and continued to function properly until tonight).

As far as we (my brother and I) knew, they were "fixed" and the flashing was a one time thing. As my brother was leaving (about 10 minutes ago...11:20 ish), the lights started flashing again... I counted them as I did last time and, low and behold, the semi-constant pattern was the same. About 5 constant flashes that held the lights on between 6 and 7 seconds (with a one second flash off in between). This time, following the advice of some fellow Nubblites, I counted the random numbers. Unfortunately, I didn't leave to get a piece of paper to track them...but I remember 26, 32, and 37 as main numbers, and perhaps a 7...but I couldn't tell if the 7 was part of the constant that I just miscounted or if it was actually a different number... Now, if these 3 (or 4) numbers come up in the powerball, that means Ugly Bastards prediction is right We'll see...

Now that we have the reporting out of the way, after observing the lights flashing for a few minutes my brother and I discussed another weird occurance that happened awhile ago regarding my grandfather. Our story begins at the Christmas of 2000. I guess my grandpa showed my brother a picture of him with an old car that he had. My brother was very impressed with the picture as it was, but my grandpa told of a picture of the car with the top down. Evidently the car looked much better with the top down, so my grandpa said he'd try to find that picture. Fast forward the the day after my grandpa died. My brother and my dad were going through his house where my dad stumbled upon a big stack of pictures. My dad was going through the pictures when my brother commented on the picture that grandpa had shown him the Christmas before, saying he wondered if that picture was in the stack. Right when he said that, my dad jumbles the stack of pictures and ended up dropping them. Most of them just kinda scattered right in front of my dad, but one picture glided over to my brother and landed picture-side up, perfectly facing him. It was a picture of my grandpa and grandma both sitting in the same car...with the top down.

[Lethal]

I was wondering if the flashing of the lights had anything to do with the snow. Because it did snow on Christmas Eve, and it did snow tonight.

It might have something to do with the snow, Lethal...but how could snow affect the lights so that they flash in a constant patter for a little bit...then a random pattern...then back to the constant pattern? I really don't know if snow could have that type of effect on lights or whatnot...I'm not much of an electrician

[Lethal]

Im just throwing out ideas.

[Combat Chuck]

Maybe your grandfather wasn't much of an electrician as well, so all these electrical mishaps are him screwing up a message that he's trying to tell you. You never know.

After a really long time...it happened again. As I was lying in my bed last nite, I heard the tv in the living room turn on (to channel 36, of course). The time on the clock in my room was 11:28. Because the living room TV was so loud, I could hear it (a very little bit) over my tv (that's how I knew the exact time it came one), and I could clearly hear it when my tv was muted. Because of this, I would mute my tv every now and then to make sure that it was still on. At 12:02, the soft background noise of the living room TV left...so I muted my TV and listened to confirm. It had turned off. After 34 minutes of American Movie Classics, the ghost was finished. I know this isn't much of an update...but an update nonetheless.

[Titan]

Nevertheless, it still freaks me out.

I would not be able to handle it 'f I were you.
