Messing with the Dark SideWe all like to tell stories about the *spooky* things that happen when people mess around with Ouija boards, hexes and spells.
A friend had wierd banging noises in his house for months and was deeply, deeply worried that it was the result of getting drunk and attempting to summon the devil.*
What's scared the crud out of you after you've played with the dark side?
* it turned out to be a tramp living in his attic (no, really). Also, -5 points for rubbish Star Wars jokes

Is this off topic?One time while living in Tennessee (does that count as dealing with the devil?), I was awakened by my bed shaking madly and jumping up and down. Here's what went through my head:
1. There must be ghosts under my bed (it was a relatively old building). No - no such thing as ghosts.
2. Some bastards snuck into my apartment and are under my bed shaking it. Slowly hung myself over the side of the bed and peered underneath - no, no one there.
3. It must be an earthquake. What? I'm in f-ing Tennessee. Can't be an earthquake.
4. That's strange. These ghosts have never bothered me before...
Turns out it was an earthquake after all. Who'd a thunk it? Apparently, the midwestern US is prone to major earthquakes - the last one (19th century) created a couple of sizeable lakes and caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards for several days.
