Tell your 'what the heck was that thing?' scary story

[breezy]

When I was a teenager we lived in a house on the edge of town. The back yard opened up onto open prairie behind us. In the summer when it was hot I would sleep outside on the deck. One night I woke up from a dead sleep. My heart was thumping and I felt like someone was watching me. I rolled over and scanned the backyard quietly but I couldnt see anything. The feeling intensified and the hair on the back of my neck and on my arms stood up and I broke out in goosebumps. A feeling of panic hit me and I sat up and yelled "whos there" Some tall grass at the far end of the yard rustled and I ran for the back door. I ran inside and locked the door behind me . Hit the backyard lights and saw some tall grass moving but never saw what it was that spooked me so bad. I can only guess that it was a predator of some kind. Ive been startled by a bear, survived a near fatal dog attack and been threatened with serious harm on more than one occasion by my fellow man yet that was the single most scary thing that has ever happened to me. My heart still races when I think about that.

A friend of mine told me he had the same reaction once when he was hunting. He felt like he was being watched,his heart started to race and he got goosebumps. He scanned the area slowly and as he turned he saw a cougar behind him in a tree watching him. I wonder sometimes if it had been a big cat in the grass sitting there watching me sleep.

Q, I have had people tell me that about my daughter's "friend". I don't know how much of it I believe, but we don't take chances with it either.

A thorough reading of the Bible should give most Christians a healthy suspicion (sp?) of any "friendly ghosts." Odds are, they're hostile - I, personally, would regard it as a literal enemy soldier. I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but it's not a good idea to assume it's friendly. Because it is almost definitely real, and it has motives and goals that you don't know.

Lindsay - I know! They freak me out, yet they fascinate me.

I don't know if I would call it scarey? But one night a few days before Christmas I was on my way home from work and there was an old pick-up ahead of me on the gravel road. Just the two vehicles, nobody else around. The vehicle in front of me backfired a few times (I could see the flash) then eventually slowed to a stop. I was a bit nervous stopping to see if they needed help (two guys, I am a 5' 5" female), but I couldn't just drive by. It was pretty cold out. I stopped, and they asked if I could give them a jump to start the truck. I drove up the road a ways, turned around and drove back so the vehicles could be nose to nose. We jumped their truck, then I went around them and about 100' down the road to turn around again. As I turned around, I looked up the road towards them, and there was nothing there. The roads here are very flat and very straight. The folks at work joked that 'many years ago, somebody was probably stranded on the road on that day, and they died. Now they haunt that stretch'.

My really scary story? I was sitting here reading your stories and our GSD pup was behind me. He stood up suddenly to bark at one of the cats and scared the snot out of me!

But but but.......aren't you the least bit curious to see what it is? If I saw three eyes blinking at me, I sure would want to find out what it was. Maybe I should be one of those ghost hunters

I'm one those people who need answers, sigh...... I hope we find out about the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot before I die. I need to know!!!!!!!!!!

If I saw something with THREE eyes I'd want to have a gun with me! That way if it decided it want to get me I would get IT first!

Then I could see what it actually was and show everyone else!

Got another one that isn't scary. My mom was driving through an intersection. Green light and all. She's driving, when some goon on a bicycle darts out in front of her. She slams on the brakes - right when she does so, this NUTCASE goes barrelling through the intersection, even though he had a red light. He would have creamed my mom. That bicycle person saved her life, and when she looked in the direction he went not half a second later, there was NO ONE THERE. But there was nowhere he could have gone.
