True story, happened just last night:

I was out walking my dog Miska last night very late, nearly 1:00 A.M. on our dark street. I heard a strange sort of shuffling noise coming from the neighbor's house across the street, not mechanical but more organic, almost wet-sounding. It nearly had a discernible repetitive pattern to it, but when I thought I could predict it, it would change a little. Weird. I thought it might be the wind pushing through something that I couldn't see, but it was dark and I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, so I moved on.

At the top of the hill I turned around and headed back to my house as usual. As I got closer to my neighbor's house, my dog started to growl, dug in her feet and stared at the house. I could no longer hear the shuffling noise but I peered into the shadows of the porch because I was curious about what was bothering the dog. After a moment my eyes adjusted and I could just make out the silhouette of what appeared to be a person sitting on the porch. These neighbors are not night owls, in fact their house is always dark by 9:00 PM, so I was surprised that someone would be sitting on their porch at this late hour. I felt rude to be staring so I called out "Hello," but I could hear a bit of nervousness in my voice, it sounded more like a timid "...hello?"

I saw the figure move slightly as if I had disturbed....him? Her? It? Then I heard a long, scratchy inward drawing of breath, making a vocal scraping sound, like a prolonged death rattle. In truth, in the darkness it sounded quite monstrous and the hairs on my neck began to climb. My dog's growl turned into barking and she began straining at the leash.

Did I stick around to see what it was? No, I did not.

Today during the daylight, I walked my dog up the same street. I saw another neighbor (next door to the house in question), I asked him if he heard any weird noises the night before. He said no. I was too embarrassed to tell him about the creepy shadow and the rattly breath I'd heard, so I lied a little. I said "I saw Ted on the porch last night but he didn't seem like he wanted to talk. He sounded like he had asthma or something."

Neighbor looks confused. "Ted and his wife are on vacation, there's no one in that house."

I'm a little afraid to walk the dog tonight.

...this sorta reads like a King short story, but Bobber?.....might I suggest inviting Father Merrin and Father Damien as "walkies" companions?....

I was weirded out the other day when this guy was talking to another guy and he barfed in the middle of talking but continued right on talking after he barfed. Needless to say he didn't bother cleaning it up.

Wow - that is a great story! (I know it is true and you're not making it up, but I started to get chills!) What the heck WAS on that porch in the wee hours of the morning, I wonder?

WTH? I think I've done that in college while drunk with my head in a toilet BUT never while standing up conversing in a normal situation. This is disgusting but also hysterical. Did you laugh?

This movie weirded me out. I had no idea what it was about. At the end the entire theatre was silent, just dumbstruck. We all filed out silently. It still creeps in my mind sometimes. "Because I envy your normal life".

Seriously,you don't know what he was up to? There are seven deadly sins,and it was his intent to amplify them to the world,and he succeeded..the last two being his envy of the detective's life which he could never attain,and the detective becoming wrath,as he saw what happened to his wife..all meant to bring attention to his angry feelings about the state of the world.

I'm very weirded out today. Sunday night I had a major falling out with my case manager and have decided to retire. I'd been thinking about retiring for quite some time, so I guess the crisis helped push me to make the decision. I'm going to email her to apologize because I feel like crap about it.
