home alone.. scawwy?

Home alone.. for at least another hour. I never noticed how many scary creaky sounds this old house makes! Yipers.. so does anyone else get creeped out home alone at night? I know, I am 26 years old.. but still. Cweepy!
Although, I do have guns and ammo in case anyone tried to intrude.. and with these animals, I guess you never are truly alone in this house..

Get the BP's out and take photos ... the hour will be over in no time.

I always keep my dog near me if I'm alone at night.LOL silly huh.

yeah, I get that way too!


I even get skairt when I am awake late at night and my husband is sound asleep. I'm a big weenie sometimes

Guns dont hurt GHOSTS!!!! Look out!

I could send over Tank and Gunnar but you'd have to hide your slippers! :)

I'm fine being by myself... till the dog goes off in the middle of the night at whatever little out of the norm noise she hears.... that's when I hate it. Oh and I also hate when it sounds like someone is walking around in the attic, or things just fall off of shelves for no reason at all...

Thats funny, When ever someone in the family dies. My wife dreams about it before it happens. Then atleast a month after they pass she sees them as shadows walking past her in the house. It's pretty freaky! The weirdest one was her aunt. My wife had a dream that she was killed in a car wreck. she told everyone every thing in her dream. A year later her aunt died in a car wreck.. Almost the way the dream was..

My point is the scarey sounds you hear, May not be Just sounds!!

Ok.. you've officially freaked me out!! :eek: I wish that the furnace would quit going BANG every half hour or so.. I about hit the ceiling everytime that happens..!
It does not help to be around mammilian animals to me; just freaks me out more when they act skittish.. The cat acts like he sees things that aren't there.. yipes.

Neither do baseball bats!
Yup.. I found that out the hard way when I was little. One night I was being watched by a black cloud thing so I got really mad and grabbed my baseball bat and went at it swinging full force. It did nothing to it.



Okay I may sound crazy for writing this, but it's the truth.

Ever since I was about 2 or 3 when we moved in to this house after the old lady had died here... I've seen and have been messed with very out of the normal things. I too this day still once in a while see the black cloud that kind of just appears and vanishes. I've heard things walk up the basement steps, around the house and stop at my bed room door. I've been hit, tapped, hair has been pulled, things just happen around here that have no reason to happen... like knocking on the walls, or sounds of someone walking/jumping up stairs. I know when I was little my parents thought I was just making it up, but my mother started having similar things happen to her so I knew I wasn't nuts. When I was about 12... my parents finally told me that after all the years that weird things happened to me, that it probably was the old lady's ghost because she HATED and I mean HATED kids. I only know this because my father grew up two door down from her and he and my aunts and uncles use to make that womans life hectic and use to play bad pranks on her, etc. So I think she just didn't like me because I was a kid.

You dont sound crazy to me..

I know what you mean about the animals acting like they see things.

Just turn on the TV, lights, and put on a CD or something. That's what I do. Right now I have the TV going, most of the lights on in the house, and I'm listening to some MP3s on the computer... any my father wonders why our electric bill is so high every month. Whoops....:oops:

I am sorry i will hit it softer next time :P :D

Honestly - I dont know how Ill ever be able to own/rent a home later on if Im not living with someone. Im alright being home alone during the day, but I dont think I have EVER slept in an empty house. Even went the rents went away for a week or whatever, I always had someone sleep in the house with me. SSooooo, I know how ya feel.

Holy Crap all your posts are freaking me out big time. I am all alone in my room.

OMG that is really weird that you say that. I too have good & bad dreams that come true more then I'd like to call just a coincident. :confused:

A few weeks ago I was thinking about my friend having a baby. I had a dream that night that she found out she was pregnant..... Today she posted on livejournal that her and Andy are having a baby... :O Yeah I get freaked out when I have dreams and they come true.

I love being home alone at night. I can do anything including walk around naked before a shower!! lmao

:tongue2: :8:

I understand Jen. I hate when my husband goes out of town. I live in a nice neighborhood, have two dogs, and have an alarm system. Do I sleep well when I'm alone? NOOOOOOO..... My dogs go up and down the stairs at night and freak me out, and the attic is a source of some creepy sounds. Even worse knowing it's my responsibilty to protect my two small children. :oops:

Thankfully, my husband is home now! (although I think it's likely he's coming down with the strep we all had last week) I'm finally sleeping good tonight. :D

mmm... I don't get scared when I'm alone... which is often. :P

I love the creepiness of our house. All the animal sounds, sounds like footsteps and doors closing. The 22 mannequins we live with look live in the dark. At times the light plays tricks and it appears that they move slightly. We found an old insurance sign in the attic which appeared to have dust over 50 yrs old on it.

we both feel someone is here. We call him Ralph from a dream I had. When we ripped out old walls , business cards from when phones had only 5 digits fell out of the ceiling. All had the name R. Brown. Looked up city records no R. brown lived here. But did find out that a person here witnessed a violent murder next store. I don't really believe in ghosts, but would love to find that we have our own. It really intrigues me.:D

I'm never gonna be able to sleep tonight. I'm all freaked out now. It's a good thing I like a fairly new apartment and there are no creepy sounds here.

Well, I made it through, lol. I really don't get any bad vibes from the house here (an old farmhouse.) If anything, a vague, motherlike presence, maybe an older woman who used to have our bedroom? But, out in the barn is an angry male presence. Turns out, a farmer died out in the old barn; he succombed to methane gas fumes in one of the silos.
My best friend is my "psychic." I consulted with her before moving from our last apartment into the house we now rent. She gave me the info that our new place would be owned by a single, middle-aged, fair-haired man who would never marry.. week or two later, I call a vague description of a farm/house for rent.. and our now-landlord fit this bill to a tee. It must be tough for her, b/c if I ask her to do a reading, she tries to be honest, but I guess she would not want to hurt me with any bad news, so I only really consult her in that regard if I need to.
It is simple for people to doubt the paranormal/unknown until it smacks you right in the face and proves its presence to you! I love exchanging ghost/psychic experiences; please do tell if you have more!
Blu; I would pay to see the face of any robber/intruder that happened by your house! If he saw those mannequins; he would be out the door in a second! Here, we have stuffed marshmallow Peeps in every room; I guess that'd freak someone out! That, or the gun-toting girl with PMS (that'd be me..)

I am exspecialy scared of bieng home, I alway have my dog with me. He is a warning/protecter, just in case. It could have to do with my house bieng robbed and people making noises out side when I was a babie?:confused: I used to have sleep problems because of it. I am alot better know...but storms scare the hebbie jeebies out of me. I am afriad of someything that can't hurt me, but i love giant constrictors? I am crazy..lol.:carrot:

I'm totally not scared to be home alone, I won't lie I used to be when I first moved out. :oops:


Although my dogs do give me some sense of security. Not sure too many theives want to take a chance on a house with 3 Pitbulls.

I've seriously had a few UPS guys ring my door bell then actually take off running to their truck when they hear them start to bark. :rolleyes:

We've never had a problem with the meter readers, but then again our meter isn't fenced in with the back yard.

I must say though the first time I saw the UPS guy running back to his truck was simply hillarious!!! :bolt:

Totally LMAO for reals. I think he might have gotten a little embarrased also! :8:

lol; we have an attack cat; does that count? He can usually be found sleeping like a throw pillow on the couch..

I have quite a few good mannequin stories, The 1st mannequin we acquired was a lrg. full figured, somewhat masculine female mann.. We brought her home and set her up in the living room. I put her in a mans shirt with one arm stuck up in the air.At the time we were living in the inner city slums due to the fact that we were not ready to buy and I refused to part with my dogs. That night I went to the bar, had a few drinks forgetting all about the manniquin at home.
When I arrived home the only light in the livingroom was the street light shining thru the door. Just a small amount of light hit the mannequin catching my eyes, seeing the upraised arm I thought someone was attempting to stab me. I staggered backwards, fell and was doing a crab crawl across the floor before it dawned on me it was only a mannequin.:eek: Sober real fast!!

Next one for you. :D I was being loaded into an ambulalance after being overcome by fumes from a faulty furnace, when a paramedic just arriving on the scene asked if anyone else was in the house. I told him I was alone, but could he rescue my cat. When he entered the house we heard screaming and saw him fall backwards from the doorway. He was not expecting anyone being in the house and upon entering the front door came face to face with a party going on of about 8 mannequins dressed in suits and dresses. Startled him so bad I'm sure he was the running joke of the day back at the hospital.

DITTO! My father and I used to go out on the front porch and watch the storms when I was little. My mother always freaked out because she could not stand stomes. I love 'em!

I'm alone at least a night a week when Ryan has duty and has to stay on the ship. I'm pretty okay by myself. Sleep well.
This apartment does have it's sounds, not nearly as bad as the farmhouse I grew up in.

The cats will watch things that aren't there, especially Cooper. Drives me nuts.

Sissy? :evileye: I don't think so. :no: (well at least about the tornados :giggle: ) I love storms myself, but I draw the line at tornados. They're not too bad if they're in the distance, but those things are scary!! I've been too close to a couple, and I didn't enjoy it one bit. :oops:

I love thunderstorms.. the things that terrify me are these stupid blizzards where you can't see an inch in front of your nose outside on the road driving; let alone walking 5x. 50 feet from the house to the barn and back with 10g buckets of water for horses that have been in for a week and are ready to explode out of a stall!
Nancy, I have a little bit of a mannequen story for ya. Mark worked for a rent-to-own company a few years back, and was working closely with his friend who was collections manager.. They were cleaning out an old former KMart store for their office building, and there were a few vintage mannequins in the basement. Well, Mark had the great idea to put a creepy little boy one (looked just like Eddie Munster) into the backseat of the company Jeep Laredo and scare his friend.. he was watching out the upstairs window.. only to see his friend along with the CEO and the actual Owner of the danged company and his cohorts getting into the truck! lol; his pal was a little ticked off but got back at us by standing "Benny" (the mannequin) up behind our house one night; about gave both of us a heart attack as we pulled into the parking spot!
Sadly, benny was used for target practice, ending his short-lived second life as a scare prop. I am pretty ticked; I would have at least sold him on ebay or something; I just watched How It's Made on TV, the mannequin edition, and brand-new ones go for around 2-3k!

Rootstiens cost thousands, but most mannequins go for 2 or 3 hundred. When we were moving we had real fun by putting only a wig on the torso and belting them in the truck seat next to me. You would not believe the people that thought I had indecent women riding along. People would race upalong side to get a better look. Or lay them in the truck bed wrapped in a blanket with hands sticking out.
