Orlion Blight he/him Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 20 minutes ago, bleeder said: I know that most of the stuff about Rowena is faked, but a bunch of other creepy stuff is around. Like, in the 20's or so on Netherland Inn Road, in front of the Netherland Inn, a guy got hit by a car on a foggy night, and they say you can see him on foggy nights. There's a whole story about it (I don't know the deets), but I don't doubt it. I live in an eerie area. It honestly sounds like a generic campfire story. Foggy night, a tragic death, "and some say that if you look carefully on foggy nights, you can still see..." With such a story incepted into one's mind, the swift movement of a deer (on a foggy night, when you can not visually tell what the movement is) the brain can ask, "I wonder if that was the guy killed by a car in the 1920s?"

No deer on that road. It's a riverside road, and no deer live that close. But, y'know, superstition is superstition. Like with actors. Never say good luck to an actor, and never say the name of the play Macbeth in a theater. If terrible bad luck doesn't strike you because of this, the thespians in the house surely will. Oh, @TwiLyghtSansSparkles, I drew a pug. Then I added you (in a crown and pawprint-pattern robe). Then I added @Kobold King peeking out of a corner. Then me in a vest. All on the same paper. Got a bit carried away. Anyone else want to be in the drawing? Edited October 4, 2016 by bleeder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Heh. A bit off-topic, but the current conversation about ghost stories made me think of this story from Not Always Right... Spoiler (Our phone number at work is almost the same as the local cable TV company; just the last two numbers are reversed. I get a lot of calls for them but they usually understand that they dialed incorrectly.) Me: “Thanks for calling [Company]. How may I help you?” Caller: “Yeah, my cable is out; I need you to come fix it.” Me: “I am sorry, you have reached [Company], not the cable company.” Caller: “Okay, but when can you get here to fix my cable?” Me: “I am sorry, you have the wrong number. [Cable Company] is [Other Number]. If you call them, they can help you.” Caller: “Okay, here is my address.” *gives me address* “Can you get here soon? I am missing my shows!” Me: *gives up* “You bet, give us about 15 minutes. Be sure you are standing out on the lawn waving so we can find you easier.” (She didn’t call back — must still be standing out on the lawn…) Specifically, this comment: Spoiler That was 100 years ago. Some people say that on a clear night, you can still look out on the lawn and see a faintly glowing figure waving and if you listen, you can hear a sad wailing call of, "My shoooooows, my shoooooows! I'm missing my shoooooows!" That drawing sounds amazing, @bleeder. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the fun of being me is that I can do stuff like deghostings and still openly question whether or not I'm full of crem and am just soothing overactive imaginations. I figure it doesn't really matter - it makes the homeowners feel safer, and I refuse to accept any sort of profit from that sort of work so I'm covered on the ethics side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
