I am being Sailor Mars (from an anime tv cartoon when i was young)
Batgirl....the one from the old tv show that only made it to like a few episodes
and I have a High Priestess robe that is dark purple crushed velvet with gold embroidered celtic knots and runes. so beatiful. long flowy sleeves and a pretty embroidered hood! so breath-taking!

This story is from when I was about 5 years old: My cousins and siblings and I were playing "Witch" on a dark screened-in porch. One of my cousins was the Witch and the rest of us were trying to escape her. When she captured me she told the others that she would send me out in the form of a bat to get them. At that moment a bat flew in through a hole in the screen. Mass panic ensued...
Batgirl indeed.
Batgirl indeed.

So one of the creepiest things that have happened to me was this:
At my work there is a back shop that has a garage type door that the guys leave open to get air circulation when they are painting or using chemicals.
Twice, and only twice, in the 10 months I have worked here, a bird has managed to fly in through that garage door, and make its way to the front office, where it proceeds to try and fly out a closed bay window. Sadly, both times the little birdies died. This happened a week apart.
So I looked up what a dead bird is supposed to mean. *this was suggested by my controller who thought it was a bad thing, sure enough it meant someone will be in bad health*
Then 2 weeks exactly after the bird hit *this would make it October 6th* I ended up in the hospital with multiple seizures and got my diagnoses. Then one week after me, and exactly 2 weeks after the second bird hit, my boss was diagnosed with heart problems.
Creepy and so coincidental!

Not really a creepy story here, but definitely weird.
Right after we got married, we lived in a very small apartment. It was fairly new, but very small. In one corner of the living room, things would disappear. If you dropped something, you could look for an hour and never find it back. The corner did not have any cracks or places for stuff to hide. The carpet was very short. Just really weird that we could never find anything that fell into that corner.

I'm a big believer in coincidences, creepy or otherwise. Rae, that thing with the birds definitely makes the list! I like things like that that are on the edge, like psychic phenomena that are hard to explain. I think the closest I've come was a few years ago, when I was at a spa that offered all different kinds of massages. I decided to try a craniosacral massage, since I'd heard the theory that this kind of massage can help people with epilepsy. I didn't tell the massage therapist that I had epilepsy, or anything else about my health history. But as soon as she put her hands on my head she said "You had a bad head injury on the right side of your head". She was absolutely right -- but the injury was over 30 years ago, so it's not like there's a scar or a bump or any other telltale sign. She said that every now and then she gets a sudden picture in her mind when she touches a client. She definitely wasn't scamming me -- there was no reason for her to do so.

There is a psychic here in winnipeg, that is so good, she requires people to pay up front because they like to run scared from her office. She doesnt look like a psychic, infact she wore a business suit, and has an normal looking office.
So me and my friends went, and she told me things I only knew! like I never told anyone (at that point) that I knew my grandma and several upon several people, were going to die, three days before I actually did. (I had a bike accident at nine, really messed my head up, and from then til the age of 18 I knew) And she knew! She even told me what exactly I saw before hand *a cold, blue, pale man, in a suit. bald and no nose*
I am still creeped out by it, that i wont even go to fake ones ever or sometimes magic shows.

I used to be part of a spiritualist group in Blackpool. I was asked to join when i was 14 and was the youngest (by a margin of about 15 years), and the longest standing member of the group.
We used to do ghosty hunting and all sorts
I'm normally the one that creeps people out with Tarot readings, etc, and with something like Nakamova's massager.
Buuut... Me, nor anyone else in that group was someone who looked like a "psychic". We're just normal people with jobs and families, who do it as a sideline.
Unfortunately the group has broken up now for various reasons, but we definately had some moments!

I also love Halloween. Here in the bible belt, the fundamentalist Christians have turned it into something evil, of which it is not. Churches have what they call their "fall festival" (boring!). When my daughter was little, my neighbor invited her to one the local churches. My daughter was a witch and the looks from the other little girls and boys was hysterical! She in turn had a blast!
My husband and I went to a Halloween party last weekend. I was a nurse, and he had just had surgery on his elbow and hand, so he was my patient. This lady had a small average house, but she had extended her backyard into the woods. She had a regular haunted backyard, has been collecting scary stuff for years, it was amazing. She had two large dogs, one was a skunk and the other a cheetah, courtesy of make-up. She had a stage on which she had dummies dressed like the homecoming king and queen of which she set fire to! It was cool outside, so she had three bonfires going. Impressive!
We are staying home on Halloween night to greet trick or treater's. We still get a steady stream every year for a couple of hours. My kids are coming over, and my 2 year old Granddaughter who is a cave girl. (matches her parents costume). Have fun all.
