I usually don't do these things, but I've been tagged by like 3 different people on my FL in the past 72 hours. So...

+ List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
+ Tag seven people to do the same: I refuse to spread the disease any further. If you wanna do it, then please do it!

(1) I once owned a comic book store called "The Escape From Reality"
(2) I lived in a largeish cupboard of someone's kitchen for several months.
(3) I met my wife on The Internet without the help of any dating service.
(4) I once bagged groceries for actor Tom Skerrit. He bought two beers and 6 toothbrushes.
(5) I'm a huge skeptic even though I've experienced several paranormal happenings first-hand
(6) I know where a "Missing Person" is buried and will never be found.
(7) I have an entire storage unit FULL of comic books.

What are the coolest paranormal things you've seen?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Sheesh... where to begin? Our barn told me it was going to collapse one day when i was about 12, I got to watch it dismantle itself.

As i was looking at it, a framed picture of my Sister on our wall crumbled and fell to the floor; 2 hours later we got a call from the police saying we needed to come get her because she had "Broken Down" and was hiding in a neighbor's attic.

In an apartment i shared with several other people, we had a shared experience of seeing a little girl ghost that we all juts knew was named "Rose". We could only see her in the reflections off of our turned-off TV set. Same apartment, I woke-up one morning to find a large man in a trench coat looking at me disapprovingly before he walked *down* through me. After we did some research we found out that the building we were in had been a Brothel in the early days of town, and that the room I slept in used to be where the stairs were.

...And about half a dozen more things that I *know* are hogwash but can't explain.

How charmingly scary.

Those are awesome stories. I can't get enough of stuff like that.

I know... me neither! And I guess I'm just lucky that I stumbled upon the works of The Amazing Randy and Penn & Teller at an early age, otherwise I'd totally freak myself out!

I also want to know the paranormal things. And should you be talking about knowing where a missing person's body can be found on the Internet? I mean, don't you think the local law enforcement agencies would be curious about that little tidbit?

Bah... it was 15 years ago, and i wasn't involved. Didn't even know the name of the person. All I know is that there's a VW Bug buried under a wrecking yard, with several piles of compacted cars on top of it.

As far as the Paranormal, please se the reply I left for the other person :)

O...kay. Still sounds shady, though.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Oh. VERY Shady! The whole story would make for an excellent movie, only it would be the type with just one sort-of celebrity and it would only be in theaters for 2 weeks before going to DVD :)
