It probably has to do with the "fight or flight" reaction most people and animals have when they're scared or surprised. I wish I had a spooky story to post here.
With all these stories and my increasing conviction that there are unusual creatures out there, if we ever get a place in the country I am going to carry a loaded gun. If something terrifying shows up (like a screaming gargoyle), I hope my immediate reaction would be to shoot it without a second thought. I'd rather kill a harmless animal than have a live lethal one feasting on my insides.
Peaches, that sounds so utterly demonic. I firmly believe that most of you have really seen things that are unnatural - most of it strikes me as pure evil.
A friend of mine (in fact, one of the leaders at my Bible study) once got "that feeling" - you know, where someone is watching you? He snapped around and saw a guy duck behind a corner. He ran after the guy, rounded the corner and... nothing. There was nowhere for the "guy" to go. It doesn't help that this was at a time when this friend's sisters were doing some ill-advised things. He implied they were involved with witchcraft. Twice he woke up to something physically punching his mattress. The first time he tried to throw his sheet over it - it just sank to the floor, with no one there. The second time he started insulting whoever it was. Later, reading his Bible, he figured out it was probably a bad idea.
I have no doubt, considering the context, that this friend had actually had personal encounters with demonic forces, especially considering his sisters' "ill-advised" activities at the time.
It's weird - the story frightens me, but at the same time I'm not afraid. Out of curiosity, how many others view these things the same way I do?
