This thread is really long and I have not read all the stories but I have one to share. Parts of it sound funny and made up but it's all true. This story is a little long, but I write well so it should make things more bearable.
It's been about 13 years since this happened. But I can still remember it because it was the most paranormal thing that I ever experienced personally. In 1998, I went away to school. It was a big city where I did not know anyone. So I spent a lot of time online when I wasn't studying. In those days, Hmongonline.co m was the big Hmong site. I met a girl there. She was from North Carolina. We hit it off pretty quickly and spent a lot of time chatting. Soon, online chats turned into phone calls. Finally, a long weekend came up and we decided to meet.
The plan was for me to drive down to NC and stay at her place. She was in school too and she lived alone. Her parents rented a one bedroom home for her. As the big weekend drew near, our conversations began turning towards the paranormal. Looking back, I think she was gauging how open-minded I was about that sort of thing. She told me that her family had many experiences with the paranormal as they were still a traditional family when it came to religious beliefs. She told me that she personally had many experiences with the paranormal, including one particular ghostly entity that had watched over her since she was a child. This ghost still came to her in dreams and in times when she was sad or lonely. Then she told me that the small home she currently lived in was haunted. I was open-minded but slightly cynical. When she told me all of these things, I honestly thought she was just testing to see how badly I wanted to get laid. I laughed it all off and told her I was still going to visit her if she would have me.
The big weekend came. I drove down on a Friday night and arrived at her house around 10pm. We had spent a lot of time together online and on the telephone but when we finally got together, it was awkward silence for awhile. If you've ever met someone online in person you will probably understand. After awhile though, we both warmed up and our conversation felt natural again. After a couple of hours, we began to kiss and make out. I was half expecting she would invite me to sleep in her bed. But her sense of propriety got the better of her and she made a bed for me on her couch. I got myself ready for bed (a little disappointed) and I laid down on her couch. I had forgotten all about her house supposedly being haunted as I closed my eyes. Then when that conversation replayed in my head, I opened my eyes. In the dark, I looked around. Nothing. I chuckled to myself then fell asleep.
Morning came without incident. We spent the morning together, then she took me out for lunch and to show me the local sites. She told me she wanted me to meet her siblings and her younger sister and a younger brother might join us for dinner at her oldest brother's restaurant. Around 4pm, we returned to her home and her sister and brother were already there waiting for us. Her sister was younger and cuter and perfectly normal. But her brother - how can I put this - her brother was freaking crazy! She told me after I met him that he lives in a psych ward for the mentally insane. But he got better to the point where they are allowed to pick him up and take him out for short periods of time. I thought to myself, "WTF would you disclose this the first time you meet someone you like? Shouldn't this be like a 12th date disclosure?" Anyways, I kept my mouth shut. I just showered and got ready for dinner. Once I was ready, it was another hour while my girl got herself ready. I chit chatted with her sister and tried not to get creeped out by their brother. When my girl was finally ready, her strange brother decided he no longer wanted to go. He said he wanted to stay home and chat online. The girls just shrugged and said, "OK."
So it was just me and the girls going to dinner at their oldest brother's restaurant. I was hoping to be alone with my girl. But I actually had a good time meeting most of her siblings. We had a nice dinner at her oldest brother's restaurant. Afterwards we met another brother and his white girlfriend in a parking lot and hung out there for about an hour, which I thought was a little weird. After the parking lot festivities, we went home. Pay attention because this is where all the crazy shit happens and it's all true.
When we got home, the house was dark. We thought maybe their brother had gone to bed early. It was only about 10pm. We open the front door and walk in. My girl turns the lights on and EFF ME! Their brother is curled up in the corner in the fetal position. He is sweating like a pig. He is huffing and puffing like he's been doing aerobics and muttering something to himself. I'm totally creeped out. The girls just treat it like it's normal. They tell him to get up and quit messing around. Immediately, the girls go into the bedroom. The brother comes over and sits on one end of the couch. Reluctantly, I sit on the other end. "Dude, you ok?" I asked. "Yeah," he chuckled. "I just see lots of ghosts." He said he was online chatting and surfing then he started seeing ghosts going back and forth in front of the bedroom door. They came in and scared him so he ran out and curled up trying to make them go away. I sit there with a perfect pokerface, "Uhmmm ok." After 15 minutes, the cute younger sister comes and tells the brother to get ready because they are leaving. My girl and I say good night to them. I even shake the brother's hand. He gives me a dead fish handshake and chuckles like a creepy movie villain. I immediately go to the bathroom and wash my hands after they leave.
We decide to watch a movie - Titanic. Titanic was still all the rage at the time and no one is a better wingman than Leo DiCaprio dying for true love to get a woman in the mood. Am I right fellas? About 15 minutes into the movie, we hear dishes clink from the kitchen like someone is putting dishes into the dish rack. She's like, "Go check it out." Like the brave man, I respond, "No. It's your house, you go." The noises stop so we just go back to watching the movie. Then, right around when the ship is sinking and Kate Winslett is refusing to move her fatass over so Leo can climb on the floating piece of the ship, we started to make out. This time, it's getting pretty intense. She whispers that she wants me to stay in her room tonight. JACKPOT! By this time, I had completely forgotten about her haunted house, the dish noises, and even her creepy little brother. I hit the bathroom first then I'm in her bed waiting. She goes to the bathroom and is in there forever of course. When she comes back, I remember clearly watching her. She looked pretty and clean. Because I watched her carefully, I KNOW that she closed the bedroom door behind her. She climbed into bed with me and we start to kiss. After a few minutes, I look up. FOOK ME! The door is open by about a foot. I break our kiss and said, "Didn't you close the door?" She looks up and goes to the door. She closes it and locks it this time. Then she turned off the lights.
Now the room is dark. She returns to me. And this time we are really going at it. It's about 20 minutes later. I just happen to look up like a dumbass. And FOOK ME! That door is open again! It's dark. But there is enough light for me to tell that the door is completely open. It scared me but we continued to make out a bit longer. Eventually, I was too scared then too tired to continue. We both fell asleep around 4am having not done as much as we hoped to. The next morning, I went home.
When I got home that night, I called her. She said she had a dream during a nap. She said her ghost protector guy came to her in a dream and told her that the thing that opened up the door and came in the room was an old woman who died in that house. She didn't mean any harm. She was just curious. After careful consideration, I broke up with her the following week.
