I Pepper Ghosted Myself!

[Not Afraid]

One of my clients has a 6 foot tall painted statue of an Indian Chief in their entryway. EVERY time I open the door, I get a start. I will never get used to him being there.

I jumped thinking there was a bug crawling across my couch. I was sitting legs straight out and laptop on lap. Turns out it wasn't a bug, but my toe wiggling over the top of the screen.

when I lived with The Old People, it was out in the middle of no where. I was watching Arachniphobia...in the dark. It was at the point where the spiders were jumping out of everywhere. Something crawled across the back of my arm. I don't think I have ever screamed that loud while watching a movie.

Okay, so have any of you ever been snorkeling, and tried to pet a fish?
... I still have the scar to prove it.


One time, when I was leaving work (at McCarran Airport in Vegas), I was driving up Tropicana (goes across the end of the runway in a very darkish stretch). Anyway, my a/c didn't work in that car, so I always drove around with the driver (runway) side window open. I hear this sound coming at me, and it sounded for all the world like a Mac truck trying to run me down. I couldn't see a thing in my rear view, but I could hear it coming closer, and at one point it sounded practically on top of me - so much so that I actually swerved!

... And it was about then that the Cessna finally passed over me and into view on the runway.

I experienced something similar once driving on Lakewood Blvd which runs underneath the runway of the Long Beach Airport. I was convinced the loud noise I heard was my car's engine about to explode or something. Then I drove out of the tunnel and saw the plane taking off above me.

One time, in band camp...

[mousepod]

The summer I turned 13, I was eating spaghetti on an airplane. I turned away for a moment to talk to my sister, and when I looked back, something was pushing up through the center of my bowl. I panicked (nowhere to run) before I realized that it was the fork that I had left deep in the pasta.
