A Coworker's Story

Everybody Wang Chung Tonight!!!

I just wanted to drop one last quick note here, so sorry if it bugs everyone. Darren, one of my coworkers, and I were talking over our lunch breaks about ghost stories (I mentioned what happened to me last night). Obviously, he made fun of me (like most people do) but then he told me he's heard of things like this happening to other people. The source of my problems, according to Darren, isn't a ghost, but a poltergeist, since I haven't seen anything visually yet (by visually I mean a ghostly person walking around. Truth be told, I think he might be full of it, so today I'm going to do some research online about ghosts and poltergeists. Not that I believe in them or anything, but it certainly was a good movie (poltergeist that is). Anyway, he said his cousin had a friend who had a poltergeist at their house. When his friend was about 7 years old, some freaky things started happening in their house. It sounded similar to my experiences, footsteps, voices, knocking, and even the bottle tops exploding in the cupboard and refrigerator. Eventually, things got worse and worse, books would reshelf themselves, papers would tear when no one was in the room. Man, I hope stuff like that doesn't start happening to me! Literally, I would wet the bed every night if things like that started happening. Like I don't have enough trouble getting to sleep as it is. I guess his cousin's friend's parents called in a Catholic priest to do an exorcism on the home. Kind of cool, if you ask me. Everyone in their family left the house, leaving the priest alone inside, and they were going to check up on things in two hours. So they showed up when they were supposed to, and found the Priest standing outside the door, his robes were ripped a little bit, and he was all pale and sweating heavily. After they made sure he was OK, the Priest said "There's nothing I can do here. I'm sorry, I suggest you move". Eventually, after some discussions, they decided to do just that, and they packed up their stuff and moved out the next day. Last they heard, the guy who bought the house from them was trying to selld it as woegll. PREsTTYi FhREAaKlY STaUhFebF!!!
