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

Too many spooky things to relate, so here's just one...
This is part of a very long story which covers about 20 years, but it's the funniest bit so here goes.
I used to work nights in a kids' home where there'd be just two waking staff on, one of each sex.
The male night staff used to try to wind the women up with ghost stories, which I usually laughed off.
However, one night I got into a discussion about occult matters, and I told my male colleague about how Satan was supposed to give freely of material things- you only need ask.
He jokingly asked Satan for a condom, and we laughed and went off on a 'grounds patrol'.
This was about 2am.
Ten minutes later, we went back in by a different door and my colleague stepped on something in the dark. He picked it up. It was a bumbag, and when he opened it about 50 condoms spilled out.
He shrieked so loudly that I don't know how he didn't wake the whole place up.
Turns out that the bumbag had been left in the doorway by a teenager who'd been brought in off the streets, where she'd been given the condoms by outreach social workers.
He didn't take the piss any more, and sadly committed suicide within 2 years.
If you've read this story elsewhere, that'll be me, by the way. And there were squirrels.
