FantasistsEddie Spunkbubble says: I used to know a sad case who fancied himself as a bit of a 007 and bragged that he always carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his attache case "just in case". Overheard by an off-duty copper, he was asked to make good on his claim. A packed lunch, red face and a stern warning "not to act the twat" and he never did it again. Tell us of Walter Mitty types.

Used to know a bloke who was well into the occult.He reckoned he was on speaking terms with various demons which he'd personally summoned from Hell.
Many people were wary of him, possibly more because they thought he was nuts than from any real belief in his *powers*, but I used to openly mock him. He tried threatening to send *something* to my house at midnight to frighten me. I said 'Fine, go on then, bring it now, put it in my hand!'
He told us stories of the weird things that happened around him. You could apparently say and do certain things to bring about the result you wanted, after which you'd sold your soul and were damned.
Being young and foolish I tried this - once - and got what I wanted, in a bizarre way. If I've lost my soul I may have sold it very cheaply.
One of the things he said was that he didn't expect to live long, and would die horribly. By our 30s we had lost contact. He moved away and I didn't hear of him until last autumn, by which time he'd been dead from cancer for a few years. He'd suffered terribly.
Coincidence? Who knows?

A few decades' heavy smoking, drinking and drug use probably helped too.(, Sun 8 Jun 2014, 14:04, closed)
