Blog Entry #5: Scariest Moments

Ghost? Haunted houses? Spirits?

I am not too sure if I believe they actually exist, maybe because I have not experienced them myself. No doubt that these words do give me goose pimples, I have no story of paranormal activity that I have experienced.

But I have another story that relates to paranormal activities.

I do enjoy watching scary paranormal activity movies! I think I watch them a lot with my husband, almost every weekend. That is our  weekly movie activity.  As scary as it sounds about ghost and of its sorts, watching these scary movies have always thrilled me.  Those were the moments where the heart will be pounding so hard and always hoping the movie does not come to life.

One of the scariest moments I had was when I was 16 years old. It is always fresh in my mind as my family always laughs about it.

Back then; I do not prefer watching scary movies. It was the time when I enjoy dramatic movies.

It was one night on a weekend, when the movie ‘Ju-On- was playing on TV. I always waited for any nice movie to be played. The movie ‘Ju-On’; was reviewed quite well from my friends, who watched it before it was played on the television. I was so excited to watch this movie and made my family stay up with me late to watch this movie. It movie started about 11pm.

The movie was scary indeed! It is a movie about a small boy who is a ghost that haunts a house. This character in this movie does not speak, but just stares. That gives me the chills! I closed my eyes practically for most of the scenes and watch it in a pinhole size of my palm. I did scream and having my brothers, aged 15 and 6 then to laugh at me.

Eventually, as time passed, my parents and my brothers were sleepy. They went up to their rooms to sleep, leaving me alone. But I was determined to watch the movie until the end. How am I to sleep peacefully without watching the ending of the movie?  So, I gathered myself and sat there for an hour or so to watch the end.

Once the movie was over, I switched off the television and lights, walked up to the upper floor of my house to my room. Before I entered my room, I went to the washroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face.

Then, I opened the washroom door and I screamed to the top of my voice!

I did, I screamed! Just screamed, because I saw a little boy, almost to the same size of the boy, Ju-On in the movie, in tears and vomit on his shirt looking at me!

It freaked me out. It was my little brother.

The teary boy burst into wailing with fountain of tears, which woke my parents from the other side of the house.

What a relief! It was just my brother. I thought the boy from the movie appeared in front of me. The angry old people in my house started scolding me for scaring the little fellow.

This is just my opinion about paranormal activity and its feelings. If you dwell into it too much and create imaginations out of it, it will bring all the fear you never imagined to life!

As for me, I still watch the scary movies in the pinhole view. Nowadays, I use my husband’s palm to cover my eyes.
