Please excuse if this is posted incorrectly, it's my first "vanity". Setting aside all the scary fake news and real terrorism, what scary stories - personal or in the news would y'all care to pass along around the FR campefire? I'll start with the true story of Elisa Lam in the next post.

I was staying at an airport hotel with my pilot husband at the time of a commercial passenger airplane crash. Shortly after the incident we passed a woman in tears being led down the hotel hallway by staff. That night, I woke from a sound sleep with the sense that someone had entered my room. A woman was standing at the foot of my bed and looked like she was dressed in a flight attendant uniform. It scared me so badly I had a visceral reaction and tried to jump back. I literally rubbed my eyes and looked again. She was still standing there. She was initially excited then seemed disappointed when she saw my face. It was like she was looking for someone. All I could do was stare at her as she started to fade from view. Later I learned that a flight attendant who died in the crash was meeting her sister who was flying into town so they could leave on vacation together from the flight attendant’s last leg of work.

I was a very adamant disbeliever in ghosts until that moment. It scared me so badly I flew with my husband on his cargo route the next night and slept with the lights on for a week. After that incident I became very sensitive to departed spirits, and years later had to announce to the spirit world I wasn’t their personal switch board to their relatives so to quit bothering me. It seems word gets around. After living in a condo someone had died in that wanted me to tell her husband she loved him, I made sure to ask if anyone had died in a place before we rented or bought after that. Sorry, not a messenger. I know a lot of Christians think they are just familiar spirits (as I originally did), but there is a difference, so unless you have first hand experience with both I won’t debate it.

It was a dark and stormy night, I was 22 and Jimmy Carter was President. I opened the envelope and there it was. A mortgage amortization of my new 30 year home loan at 20% interest....

A chill ran dawn my spine.

That’s okay, but I like my vampires to be a bit older.

For my money this is the best adaptation of Stoker’s novel, it has Portuguese subtitles, but still watchable (I have it on DVD). The FX are a bit primitive, but the acting and settings are excellent:

You have to be of a certain age or/and a military history buff to get that reference, heh.

I dreamt that Hillary was elected President.

No joke. A couple nights ago, I dreamed that I shot Obama's face with spray paint.

My dream morphed into something else after that, but that one segment stuck with me.

“Bob Hope and Zombies”

Ah, I thought something was amiss with your first post. That’s one of my favorite clips!

True story: in the 1980s, I looked up the nostrils of Henry Waxman!!! He visited the newspaper I worked at and I had to bring him upstairs to the office.

Great story!

I think in some states, ‘hauntings’ may still fall under stigmatized property disclosure requirements; not sure.

I’ve always thought that a ghost wouldn’t keep me from buying a house I loved - I’d just hire a priest or shaman or whatever, to get rid of the ghoul. Or maybe I’d try talking to it reasonably ;-)

But: I’ve never been through it...

Speaking of planes and ghosts: John Fuller wrote a fascinating book decades ago entitled ‘The Ghost of Flight 401’:

LOL. Actually I’m neither, but my father had a lot of military books around the house and the stories and photos of U.S. soldiers igniting those huts in Vietnam kind of stuck in my head.

“I think in some states, ‘hauntings’ may still fall under stigmatized property disclosure requirements; not sure.”

Yup, I know in some places you have to disclose a place is “haunted” to the prospective buyers.
I’ve heard of “The Ghost Of Flight 401”, I’ll have to look into it, thanks.

Well, I go back enough to remember it in the news. Even remember this MAD magazine cover -

That’s an interesting & freaky story, thanks for passing it along.

I know that some people are more attuned to experiencing such things than are others.

I’m glad “others” don’t bother to bug me for anything!
:D
