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

Tarrot card crap.Soon after starting uni, I spoke to a girl on my course, who happened to be into tarot readings and all that, after showing her the abandoned mental asylum (seriously, storthes hall student village has it all!) she offered to read my cards.
A few nights later I got a call asking me to go round so she could read my cards, I was sceptical, but decided to keep an open mind, plus, she might introduce me to some fit friends, so I was up for it.
The alarm bells should have started when I walked to the flat, waved to her, and her friend, who I'd never met, and looked like an insane Harry Potter, but as a girl, waves at me with all the enthusiasm of welcoming a long lost brother home.
So we went into the tarot reader’s room, and things started getting weird, the crazy looking girl was grinning like a spastic lobotomised cult member, and Turkish belly dancer music was playing. Then came the cards, I was asked to do a few splitting of the deck then up came my deck. I got a lot of wands, which apparently, made the suit card, the knight of wands stronger. I was told I had the knight of wands, the king of swords and a few others that didn't sounds as cool. I hoped to hear I was to be a great warrior, and to save the world from despair and evil, after all, KING OF SWORDS, the Knight of wands furthered my belief I was to fight evil, after all, it is a knight!
No, they didn’t mean anything cool, the king of swords was upside down, so it was reversed, I believe. It meant I would meet a cruel man of ill intention, but some other cards meant I would reminisce and make peace with him.
The best part was that the first thing she said was "So, I see your a family man?" my response was "Erm, no. I'm kinda glad to be away from them." the second statement, "Well, you are either home sick now, or will be soon." I didn’t want to leave at the end of term and never missed home at all. There were a few other things, but those few things stuck out as the least vague, and so far, have been totally wrong.
Tarot cards eh?
No apologies for the length, she didn’t introduce me to any girls and wasted an hour of my life.
