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

The International Hostel in Ottawa, Canadawas originally a prison, condemned in 1977 for cruelty to prisoners and reopened the following year as a hostel. It is said to be haunted by a man who was the last to be publicly hanged in Canada. Examining the evidence today says he was framed. The hostel is considered one of the most haunted places in North America.
My friend from Australia, unaware of the ghost stories, checked into that very hostel. She walked up to the third floor lounge room, and halfway between the second and third floors she felt an excruciating pain across both thighs. The pain remained for three days, until she had checked out and left the hostel.
Upon hearing this, I was amazed. I informed her that the third floor lounge room was once the prison surgery, where amputations were regularly performed without anaesthesia.
