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

bargain basementHae me doots about ghosts but here's a strange tale.
My mum and dad were looking for a house in the early 70s and this massive one came up in the east of Edinburgh. Hooooooooge villa, massive garden, numerous bedrooms, gorgeous and really cheap. They looked round it and my dad really wanted to buy it. Then they went into the basement and my mum freaked. (It was perfectly nice, bits of the skirting board missing but otherwise in good nick.) She hurried out. Inside the front door, was a kind of phone booth thing. For some reason she was terrified of it.
Curious, she did some asking around.
And this is what she learned: a few months previously the man who owned the house had snapped under financial strain. He went on the rampage with a hammer and killed his two children and mother-in-law, and nearly did in his wife. The basement was where one of the murders happened. The skirting board had been removed because of the bashes and blood on it. The phone booth? It was the fact that the phone was continually off the hook that alerted a friend that something was wrong. One of the victims had hidden in there while he bashed his way in, a la "here's Johnnie". I believe the poor bastard's still in Carstairs.
They didn't buy the house.
