I only have one experiance that is really relevant to this discussion. I was 16 or 17 at the time and was sleeping over at a friend's house. It was a small ranch style house, maybe 100 years old. I had slept over there before, in his room on the floor, but this time I slept alone in his sisters room. I fell asleep just fine and didn't have any nightmares or anything. Then at about 2 am I woke suddenly. I'm talking wide awake, not groggy or anything. I just feel this horrible, malevolent presence. Mind you, I've never felt any presence before or since, so it was very, very frightening. I was scared shitless to put it blunt, and I am very hard to scare. It was, bar none, the scariest experiance I've ever had. I just felt helpless, I don't know why. It was also accompanied by a slightly decayed smell. I lay there for a good half hour before it finally went away. I went back to sleep after a while, and in the morning I told my friend about it. He said that he had experianced strange things in the basement before, and that his father had brought back relics from his time in Vietnam (boots and helmets from dead guys, etc.). I had no prior knowledge about this fact, and we didn't watch any ghost movies, talk about supernatural stuff, or anything related the night before, so it wasn't like my mind was primed by this sort of thing. I also wasn't interested in experiancing something paranormal at all, and wasn't intoxicated/high. I was wide awake, and it continued for too long for me to pass it off as some split second thing. That's my story.
Also, in the house I currently live in, there have been some weird things that happened. My friend had come to pick me up, it was the middle of the day, and I was getting dressed inside or something. When I got to the car, he said that a few minutes before, he saw me come walking to the car out of the corner of his eye, but when I should have gotten to the door and opened it and didn't, he looked and no one was there. No one was on the street or anything. I know it's easy to discount, and it wasn't a big thing to either of us, and we laughed and said it had something to do with the fact that my address is 3666. Another time, another friend and I were in his car talking about stuff in my driveway real late at night, about 3 am, when we see figures moving around outside the car, going real fast. Shadows flashing by, stuff like that. It was kinda creepy. Well that's my experiances.
