Oops - sorry for the double post.
Natalie, I never saw The Grudge. I don't care much for scary movies. Not since Night Of The Living Dead!

To be exact, they are saying "U-ra-me-shi-ya" which means they have something (or someone...scary ;D ) in this world they want to deal with before they go to the other world...... BP, I think japanese scary movies are very scary becuase they like to use a girl with a messy long hair and very white face.--I'm thinking of 'the Ring". One of my frined was watching this and I called him at the end of the movie, scared the heck out of him. He thought I knew he was watching it. One of my best friend is japanese and I used to scared her a lot by following her around at night and said that sentence slowly with very low, deep voice. Then I watched "sixth sense" with my roommate and didn't expect to see anything scary. I'm alright with fantasy ghosts or monsters but not dead people (like, The exocist, The ring!, etc.). In sixth sense, there was a scary old granny in the kitchen, a girl who puke under the bed (?). I had to sleep in the living room with my roomate for about a week and didn't go into our kitchen at night for a week or so. Haha, I'm off topic again. I'll be back to tell the stories. My friends and I had our share of unexplained things, for 7 years straight I never slept alone or stayed in my own apartment.

Oooooh, Gretchen's post reminded me of a HORRIBLY SCARY story I saw somewhere. GRETCHEN - THIS IS A SCARY ONE......................... A guy was having his picture taken, and then as it was snapped, he screamed and died!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like that! Healthy boy in his 20's maybe. R U Ready 4 This? When the film was exposed and developed, there was an Oriental woman standing behind him in the picture, with messy hair, and a white, white face, and she WAS NOT there (visible) when the picture was taken ............... but the boy saw her, and he was scared TO Death. brrrrr!!!!!! That is SO scary to me! brrrr!!!! Has anyone heard of the Bloody Mary story? If you are in a room with a mirror at night, you say Bloody Mary 3 times and she is supposed to appear in the mirror.............and disappear when the light is turned on. I WOULD N-E-V-E-R try that!!!!! Never!!!!!!! But I know someone who did and she said it worked. She also said her and the girl she was with never slept that night!!! This same girl also was at a friend's house and went into the kitchen, and there was a man standing there. The girl went back in to ask her friend who it was standing there so quiet, but there was noone there. When this girl I know told her friend what the man was wearing, her friend said that is the clothes her dad wore all the time, and he was dead!!!

Your stories scare me, I hope my stories scare someone! ;D I'm scared even typing it. I keep looking if someone is here. My friends and I experienced several weird thing but I never *see* it [knock on wood]. I only "heard" it. I mean, I saw it but not enough to tell who or what it look like. For example, I saw someone standing at the window or walked by my chair (in the back) but I didn't see the face/what clothe he/she was wearing. I was in the dorm through out college, three of us share the room. I was so excited about the new life and it's only a month that we started to hear weird stories. ONe of our friend who liked to crash at our room, came to see us around 3 am, walking up the stairs, she saw someone there, as she got closer she saw that that person had only half a body. She screamed and ran back the way she came. She wasn't drunk and we trusted she didn't make up the story. We asked around and found out that our neighbors experienced the same thing. So my roomates and I promised to be with each other all the time, we went to take a shower and leave the room together. a week later, I had to come back to our room alone to pick up my book. As i reached for the book, I heard someone signed from my friend's bed. I ran out without that book. Few days later, after I already convinced myself that I might have imagined thing, one roomate and I heard the other roomate (who slept on the top bed) woke up, got out of her bed, walked around the room (we didn't open our eyes) doing something at the balcony then walked out the door. about 10 mins later we both got up, took the shower and left. We didn't have a good look at her bed, it's at about my head's level). Thinking that she left already, we locked the door and left. That evening she was so mad we left her alone in the room without waking her up. we all were so scared because there was really somene was walking in our room and it's not her! We moved out and a month later a new girl moved out too, she said somebody played with her hair when she was in bed and from the light coming through the window she could see only the shadow of that thing above her head. After I graduated, I worked at the same university and stayed in campus. Well, the first night there, I turned off the light, as soon as my head touched the pillow and I closed my eyes, I heard someone walking toward me, she/he was dragging his/her feet and I could tell that person was wearing socks. I jumped off the bed, turned on the light, nothing! Then as I turned off the light, closed my eyes in bed, it happened again. I was mortified and left the light on all night. I stayed with my friends ever since, only came back to my room (in the morning) to change. Oh! I might have seen something after all. I'm not sure. When my friend moved to a new lab of which everyone was scared. She said she would be there only in the daytime because she got weird feeling about it. {---this friend could smell. she can always tell if there is a graveyard nearby. one day I went to see her with a dead bunny in my bag, before I asked her to go bury it with me, she asked if I smell anything. it was dead for only less than an hour!--} about 2-3 weeks later, I was there with her around 4pm, we got a heavy rainstorm. Through the window we both saw one woman in a white jacket, couldn't see her face because of the Venetian blinds. We stoped talking and turned to look at each other becuase we didn't recognize her -we had been in that university for 6 years and we knew everyone in that building. it was only 2-3 seconds that we turned away from her, she just disappeared. Without saying anything to each other, we ran out of the room to look for the girl. The hallway was very long and every room was locked, there was no way she could get out of our sight that fast. To be sure we search the 2nd and 1st floor as well. The guard said nobody came out except us. So may be I can see a ghost after all, I don't know. I didn' t see her face and she didn't do anything to me so I wasn't so scared of her. The fact that we never saw her again help me to get over it. This is why I don't like to sleep alone. Even at my parents' house, I always stay with my mom or sister. Our next door neighbors moved out because they saw someone in their house and they often heard an old traditional music from our house. When they found out that none of us play those instrument, they sold the house. Of course, no one told me about that because they knew I'm such a baby. I found out becuase I was in the living room playing a game on the computer and I saw "what I thought was my dad" walking past me to the kitchen (I saw him from a glance). I went to the kitchen, like 5 second later and no one was there. I told my sister about it and she told me it happened to her too and that was when I heard about the neighbors.

Gretchen, your story is way scarier than mine!
WF, yours too about the boy whose photo was taken.
The Bloody Mary story. I've never heard that one before. But I have heard something similar about St. Agnes. Apparently on St. Agnes' Eve, single women are supposed to look in a mirror at night, lights out of course. The man they will marry is supposed to appear in the mirror with them. That's the story I heard.
But it might just be a variant of the Bloody Mary. Anyone know?
Don't know why, but I was reminded of a story I read in Reader's Digest many many years ago. It's supposed to be true. In a nutshell:
There were two teenagers, a boy and a girl, of similar age. They lived in separate cities, weren't related, and they had never met. The girl was sort of an artist and drew lots of pictures. One day, she drew a picture of a boy of similar age. She drew it as a portrait and framed it. She kept the picture on her dresser drawer and said "that's my boy."
Meanwhile, the boy in the other city was fighting some sort of disease. I don't remember what, either he was losing his sight or had heart and/or kidney disease. Whatever organ he needed, he needed a transplant and needed it badly.
The girl was in a car accident and was killed. You can guess what happened next. Whatever organ the boy had needed was transplanted from the girl to him. It changed his life forever. The boy was so special and wrote such a moving letter of thanks to the anonymous donor family that the administration thought an exception could be made so that the identity of the donor family & recipient could be revealed to each other, which is very unusual.
Again, you can guess what happened next. When the girl's family met the boy, they recognized him immediately... his face was that of the boy in the picture the girl had drawn.

I forgot to thank for the warning, wf.
This reminded me of the movie 'three men and a baby'. There was a story about a boy showed up in their film but nobody knew who he was. Then his parents contacted the studio and said that was their son who died a while ago. They used to live in that house. I don't remember the particular scence that he showed up. I wathced it twice (without knowing about that boy) but always had my eyes fixed on that cute little baby. I didn't really look around. anyone remember this story?

gretchen, I do remember that story. I couldn't remember the details, but reading it from you, I think that's what it was.

That scene is somewhere in the middle or very end of the movie. Maybe about the time they have to give the baby back to the mother? I can't remember the story but the baby is SO cute.

I heard that story about Three Men And A Baby. I even saw a cut from the movie that shows the little boy in the background.
It was quite the mystery for a long time. But I thought I heard in the end there was a logical explanation for the boy's presence. He wasn't a ghost at all but a real live flesh-and-blood child who just wasn't supposed to be there. I just don't remember the details of the story though. Sorry.

your stories are quite frightening!! ever since i was very young, i have been fascinated (and terrified! go figure) of the unexplained, especially aliens and UFOs. i know many people just dismiss these as fake stories made up by people seeking attention, but i truly do believe them. i've done a lot of research about these events, and have even witnessed some of my own. anyway, my story has nothing to do with aliens, but with ghosts ... actually voices. (not very scary, but if you're easily frightened, it could be a bit disturbing)i was born in bosnia, and when i was very young (around 3) a war broke out and my famliy was threatened to leave our home...several months later, my mother's youngest brother was killed by Serbs (his friends, incidentally) ... anyway, years later, we moved to the US, and since then we hadn't seen my grandparents (mother's parents) until a few summers ago when I was 13 or 14 ...one night, while my grandparents were staying with us in the US for the summer, i woke up very early in the morning, at around 3 am...i had once read somewhere that ghosts usually come out at around 3 am, so i refused to open my eyes, but my ears were just searching for ANY noises...suddenly, i heard a person barely say "seven" in bosnian, and it echoed!! i was petrified! i couldn't move, and i could barely control my breathing!! the voice kept saying "seven...seven"...and it kept echoing!! i didn't feel a presence, but it felt like the voice was coming from far, far away...i forced myself to get up and run to my parent's room, i awoke my mother and told her i heard voices...she just dismissed it and told me i could stay in her bed for a few minutes...after i calmed down, i went back to my room and immediately forced myself to fall asleep...the next morning, my mother told my grandmother that i heard voices, and, of course, everyone thought i was dreaming or that i had heard the voices of our neighbors who usually wake up very early to go to work...but i remember it being 3 am, not 5 am, which is when they usually wake up...a few days after that, 9/11 occured, and it suddenly hit me that my grandparents were leaving 7 days later... i guess my uncle (or whoever!) was trying to reassure me that everything would be OK ... how strange, though!!

TG, that's the thing. I remember the story and for some reason I was remembering it as there being an explanation for the story, but I'm not sure. If I find out what really happened, I'll post it.

L2D, I think it's very common to be frightened of & fascinated by something at the same time. I think it's just part of being human.
Your story is plausible. I've heard many similar stories. It might have been your own subconscious that spoke to you, but we just don't know. And where does our subconscious come from?
Peter Jennings is supposed to present a special report on UFO's this month. I hope I haven't missed it! I really want to watch this show.
