But now is your opportunity to be prepared so that when you see the face you can say, "Oh, it's just you."
I'm talking about someone in the backseat! Even though i always check, especially at night that no one is in my backseat, somehow someone is going to be in my backseat looking at me in the rearview mirror!!!!!!

Do you ever rush through the house in the dark because even though you KNOW there's no one behind you, your animal sub-brain insists there's that small chance...?

Our big galoot of a dog woke us up the other morning. He had been barking up a storm, which happens on occasion, especially in the warmer months when the windows are open. What was distressing was the fact that he was shaking like a leaf when he came upstairs. He has never been so frightened since we've had him. Never. I got up and went through the house and I could have sworn that it looked different. This not there, that moved out of place and was that closet door open when I went to bed? The poor thing was so spooked he was shaking until almost 10 the next morning. Never did find out what spooked him......

I tried to get my wife to go down first, but she refused..........:biggrin-new:

I don't really believe in the paranormal, but after seeing the Paranormal Activity movies and how the dogs are a key player......well......we brought out the Donald Duck nightlight that has been tucked away since the kids were wee nippers.

The dog is back to his old self still, by the way.:dog:

:rofl: Glad to hear the dog has recovered and that's yet another reason why I don't watch those types of movies. :smile:

I know that's what you mean, but then I said if your mirror is adjusted correctly...oh, never mind. =D I myself don't tend to have the fear that someone or some face is in my vehicle, but there have been times when I have felt a little uncomfortable in the basement, not that there's a human being down there but a ghost.

We do have one of those outdoor lights that is activated by movement, but it has been so windy out (the rhododendron sets it off) that we have had to shut it off.

I'm trying to get my wife to sleep downstairs, no luck so far, but if I keep it up I might have to sleep on the couch down there by myself.......:O_O:

The question is: Will you be there "by yourself"?:ghostface::ghostface::ghostface:
