In The Light Of Halloween

Going to see the "Paranormal Activity" movies has kind of become a tradition of mine and Nadja's. Last Friday we went to see "Paranormal Activity 3". The first one was scary and creepy... The second one was a little scarier and a little creepier. The third..... HOLY CRAP scary!!! Seriously! I didnt think that there was any way to make a movie scarier than the first two, but I was wrong! There were about four parts of that movie that just made every hair on my body stand on end! I wanted to cover my eyes, but couldn't because I didn't want to miss anything. So, if you're into extremly freaky movies, I'd totally recomend this movie! I'm still freaked out by it, and it's been a few days since i've seen it.

Say What?!

Along time ago, when my brother Rob lived at home, Nadja would sleep in his room when he was gone. He was the high school pitcher for the baseball team and would be gone quite a bit for either a game or a tournament. One night, while he was up in California for a baseball tournament, Nadja was sleeping in his room. At this time things in our house was super bad and scary! She was woken up by his radio turning on. When she tried to move, she couldn't. She then felt something in the room with her. She tried to yell for my mom, but she couldn't. No sound would come out. She then started feeling whatever it was get closer and closer, like it was on top of her. This thing had her cornered in the corner of the bed. She couldn't move or scream, and once she was able to yell for my mom, the thing left and she was able to move again. We all have ou8r theories as to what this thing was, but I dont need to say. Whatever it was, was very bad and tried it's hardest to keep us scared!

Hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm.....

I was told about this book by my moms friend. He asked me if I was done having baby's or if i still wanted to try for a girl. When I told him I wanted a girl he told me about this book. No I'm not trying to get pregnant right now, I'm not thinking about getting pregnant in the near future, but, I do want another baby, preferably a baby girl. I figure, what could it hurt? Yes my next baby could be another boy and i'd still ecstatic. I'd just like a little princess!

So, if anybody looking to have another baby who has a specific gender in mind, maybe this book is for you? I wish I knew from personal expierience as to whether it works or not, but I do not. I think it's definatly worth a try!

Strange Noises

Living in our house it was not unusual to hear noises like doors opening and closing, light switches flipping on and off (yes you could hear that), footsteps on the tile floor when nobody was around, talking in the next room when nobody was there, just all types of noises! When I was in high school (around freshman, sophomore year) every night, late, i'd get woken up by magazine pages being flipped through and other strange noises. I'd always ask Nadja if she heard them because she was in the next room and she'd always say "no you're crazy...". It was always a joke to me "the ghost that's haunting my room", but nobody believed me. One night, Nadja was in her room, reading and her music was tured off. Well, she acutally heard the magazine pages being flipped through and them being thrown around my room. She asked me what I was doing the next morning and I told her that "I was sleeping, why?". She answered with a " well I dont think your as crazy as I thought... I heard your magazines being tossed around and such". I said, "yeah, it happens everynight around the same time.. I think that my ghost is just looking at the hottest trends and fashion.". I always thought it was funny!

Pom Poms

When my sister, Nadja, was in eight grade she was a cheerleader and was asleep in her room, which was my brothers before her. Being a cheerleader she had pom poms laying around in her room. One night was was woken up by some kind of sound in her room. When she looked up she noticed that there was a pom pom floating above her head. She of course went to scream, but when she did, the pom pom dropped into her face. Of course this was quite terrifying to her, as it would be to any, but it wasnt the worse thing to ever happen. I'll share another time :)

Up!!

My senior year of high school. It was the day after my Grandpa Bowler had passed away. My mom was with my grandma, Lara and Esther (little korean girl who lived with us) were at seminary. I was home alone, getting ready for school, waiting for my cousin Amy to pick me up. My bedroom was the master bedroom at the time and I was in the bathroom doing my hair. My music was turned on a pretty low volume because I wanted to be able to hear my cousin pull up. All the suddon, the volume on my cd player started turning up. I went to see if one of my many cats was possibly sitting on the remote. I could see the remote sitting on my nightstand there wasn't any cats anywhere near my remote. I thought it was strange, but had to finish getting ready. I walked back into the bathroom and the volume started going up again. I then ran out of the bathroom to see if there were possibly a cat on the remote, no... There was nothing on the remote and the volume kept going up and up and up. I could see the numbers on the sterio just keep going up. It then got so loud that it actually hurt my ears. I think it got up to about 45 when I never listened to it past 20, 21.. I ran over to the remote, my heart was pounding! Turned off my sterio, turned on my t.v. and continued to wait. Even though it wasn't scary, it freaked me out and had my heart a pumpin'.

Our Nightmares

When I lived in my house (most of my life) I would have the most horrific, evil, realistic nightmares at least once a week. It always involved somebody (usually Nadja) getting locked in a bedroom. We'd take the door knobs and hinges off and the doors still wouldn't open. I'd flip the light switches on and nothing would happen. I'd have dreams of being possessed, of my family members being possessed, just horrible, horrible dreams! Well, one day after nadja had gotten married and moved out we were talking about the nightmares we would have living in that house. I sarted to tell her how I'd have dreams of her getting locked in either her room or my room and how it didn't matter what we did, the doors would not open for anything. It always involved her looking throught the doorknob hole crying "get me out of here" and my mom and I trying to pry the door open in any way we can think of and it wont budge! When I said this her face turned pale. She always had the exact same dream! The thought really, really freaked us out! Like I said, these dreams occured once a week, at least....It made us wonder, were we really dreaming? Our dreams were so realistic, we still cant be sure if it really was just a dream or not...
