Messing with the Dark Side
We 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

VERY haunted work
I work in a wine shop and it is haunted. I'd like to say the building has a long and spooky past... but it doesn't. It was originally a drive-thru fast-food restaurant in the 1950's, and was a country/western bar after that (okay that's KINDA scary). No deaths, no horrible surgery, nothing. Anyhoo, I used to work nights, and the damnedest things would happen. All the lights in the beer cooler went out one night. Two people on shift, both of us behind the counter, no customers, all the doors locked., nothing stacked in fornt of the lightswitch. No explanation, but both switches were in the OFF position. Same thing, late at night, and all 7 cooler doors slam closed, and open to the limit of their hinges, over and over, for about 30 seconds. Countless werid smells and sightings. Often one of our staff will comment that there's a customer out front, always an older gent, and would I mind watching him while they go and stock the beer (as we do last thing every night, and it requires being off the salesfloor) No-one there once I'm out front but they'll swear up and down that there's someone there. Worst story comes from a former staffer who let themselves in one night after close for a bottle of wine, and had their wine knocked out of their hand as they were leaving. I NEVER go into that store alone after close. Creeps me right out.
