Ask Me Anything Meme #15 and #16: Nicknames and the Paranormal

[milleniumgypsy]

Ehehe... Still behind. n_n' But the very end of the month has free days, so if I answer a couple now I'm only one behind. :3

Did you have a nickname as a child? arctic_comet
I was nicknamed Flipper or Twinkle Toes I think when I was really small. Flipper because my socks were always falling off but I never bothered to pull them up, Twinkle Toes because I ran everywhere on tip-toe. I think that also got me Luigi.

Do you believe in the paranormal? If you do, have you ever had a paranormal experience? jeune_fleur
I do believe in the paranormal! I see ghosts.

what this is completely relevant

The first time I did I was in maybe 3rd grade, there was a ghost that ran at me out of my mother's bedroom. That house was really haunted. The people that had lived there before us (this was rental home) had actually moved out in the middle of the night without letting the landlord know they were leaving, they just threw most of their stuff in the car and drove off. This was in the middle of the winter so the pipes froze and everything.

There was a ghost girl that my mom saw looking into my sister's crib, there was an old man who was more of a poltergeist, and there was something more sinister. A lot of really weird stuff happened at that house, but only some of it was directly involved with me.

Apparently my mother saw parts of the wall and floor disappear, eyes looking at her through keyholes, my sisters wind-up swing would stop if it was put in a specific part of the house, things would get moved around, stuff like that.

I've seen ghosts elsewhere, and felt them, but those stories are in general less interesting. Scottie and I saw a car that disappeared when we were driving up a mountain (there was nowhere that it could have gone!)

So yeah, I do believe in the paranormal. I never argue that I'm sane however, so take that as you will. xD

I hear you there lol. My younger brother is convinced that ghosts and all things supernatural are really demons trying to trick us. idek, and he's more sensitive to the supernatural than I am!

I would've cleansed my house that moment tbh. We've had to cleanse the house a few times over the years, but whatever came with that garage sale item keeps returning (which is why we think it came with the garage sale item lol). It was uber eerie because I mom returned to the house of the garage sale to ask if they knew what was attached to it and it was whole new people and they had no clue about any garage sale that took place in their yard! Would've thought those people were trolling if it wasn't for the fact that it took a while to get rid of one of the things because it kept reappearing in the house after we gave them away.

That's creepy that the item kept coming back! DX

It was so strange! The first it happened my mom thought that they were brought back, except the friends that she gave them to hadn't been by. Plus, they kept appearing in weird places like inside a box, behind the couch, etc.
