I am so glad that you wrote about ghost encounters. Fifteen years ago I was dating this guy, we were at his parents house one night, we were the only ones there. His parents owned a long ranch style home, and he was at the far end of the house in the family room playing Donkey Kong. I had gotten up to use the bathroom which was way on the other end of the house by the bedrooms. When I was finished in the bathroom, I went to open the door and it wouldn't budge. The door was supposed to swing outwards, I kept shoving my whole body weight against it but it wouldn't go. I was starting get pissed off because I thought it was my boyfriend playing a trick on me. Finally with one last shove the door opened, but I couldn't move, it was like something was standing in my way, but I couldn't see anything there. It was also very cold (it was summer time) where I was standing. It felt like I was paralyzed forever, it was probably only a minute or two. When I was able to move, I ran to the other end of the house to where my boyfriend was sitting still playing the video game. I told him what had happened, and he said that they have always had a ghost wandering around the area they live in. This ghost would freak his cats out by rocking in a rocking chair in their living room. The cats could hiss a scream wildly. Seems that many, many years ago a woman walking on a nearby rural road was hit by a car and killed. Guess that she is looking to get back to her home and family. I will to this day never forget the feeling I had when I met this apparition. And I still get that feeling if I walk into certain house, my skin crawls and my hair stands up and I get a very nervous and I have to get out o that house. Well, that is my story, thanks for reading!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 18:27:50 +0000 From: Lem Bingley Subject: Alloy: More embassing flattery the_copse wrote: > I'm not surprised Rochelle's impressed by the power of Crackers' Nuvogue - - > I still listen to it all the time - it never fails. Well FWIW I'm still incredibly impressed with Washing Up, my favourite track from the_copse's first album, Zal. The best of TMDR's music manages an uncanny level of durability. Thomas frequently manages to defy the over-familiarity that eventually afflicts almost all other music: no matter how fascinating a song might be to begin with, eventually you stop wanting to play it. But Airwaves, The Flat Earth, Screen Kiss, I Live in a Suitcase, I Love You Goodbye and many others all seem to be immune from aging. Washing Up manages the same trick. It always sounds fresh. Bet you can't do it again Tim :-) BTW: what happened to the follow-up album? I remember you asking for suggestions for a name for it...

He also ran into trouble trying to teach them about Canadian culture when he asked them what our national sport was then gave them a clue and told them it starts with the letter "H".

I never believed it myself ...... until ..... one night when I'd been working behind the bar and we were cleaning up after closing time. I was washing pots and out of the corner of my eye noticed someone walk behind me into the other bar. I thought it was Lyn, who was my girlfirend at the time, so I walked around to talk to her ... but there was no one there. There was another occasion when we had cleaned up and were sitting in the lounge having the last drink of the night. There were about four or five of us, and as we sat facing the bar we saw one of the spirit optics dispense a measure of whiskey on to a watch that one of the other barmen had left on the shelf under the bank of spirit bottles. These things are spring loaded and though they may drip a little occasionally, they DON'T activate themselves and spill a full measure. We assumed the ghost fancied a drink with the rest of us. There were stories that there had been a suicide years before in one of the bedrooms, and also that a previous licensee had falled down the stairs in a drunken stupor one night and had died of his injuries. Lyn said she'd seen a shadowy figure behind the bar on various occasions, but apart from these two incidents I saw nothing else of the ghost of The Trevor Arms.

He moved into a house with his wife and young daughter not too far from Peggy's Cove. He had gotten it way below market value but as far as he could tell there was nothing any different between this house and the rest of the houses in the neighbourhood. But odd happenings began to take place a few weeks after they moved in. The large kitchen knife would go missing and then turn up in unusual places. My cousin thought it was his wife or daughter absent-mindedly misplacing the knife after using it. Likewise they thought it was him or the other doing the same. The knife would go missing then turn up in the oven, in the fridge, or way in the back of a cupboard and on occaisions it would turn up in completely different rooms like the livingroom and even bathroom. One day the big kitchen knife disappeared altogether. They searched high and low and it didn't turn up. That is until the next spring when his wife was digging in the garden and uncovered the big kitchen knife buried in the garden wrapped in a tea-towel. Now my cousin figured his daughter was playing a joke. But weeks later when talking to a neighbour he heard a shocking story about his house. Almost 35 years before he lived there another family lived in the house, a young couple with an 8 year old daughter (my cousin's daughter was 8 years old at the time they moved into the house). The man lost his job and began to drink heavily. His wife just took off one day with an old highschool boyfriend and went to live in Maine in the USA leaving the man alone with his daughter. One night after drinking a lot the man flew into a rage and visciously stabbed his daughter to death before taking his own life. The weapon used was a large kitchen knife. Strangely enough after they learned of this there were no further incidents in the house. The big kitchen knife stayed where ever the last person left it. But the peace was shattered not long after my cousin's daughter turned 13. She was playing in the house with a soccer ball when it got away from her and crashed into a china cabinet that contained crystalware that had been in the family for over 150 years, destroying many of the glasses and one platter. My cousin flew into a rage yelling at his daughter almost incomprehensible with anger. It was then that something remarkable happened although no one knows the details as my cousin and his family refuse to discuss what exactly happened. My cousin's wife and daughter spent that night at my aunt's house. They were almost catatonic with shock. My cousin spent the next four days in the hospital. That day was the last day any of them were in that house. They sold the house and paid movers to go get their things. When they unpacked the boxes the movers brought everything was accounted for except the big kitchen knife. My cousin still has scars on his face, neck, and chest. What caused those injuries? We're unsure. However, at the last family reunion a few years back one of my uncles heard from a girl whose father was a doctor in the town my cousin lived in. She told him that she recalled a night when she was young that her father came home quite shaken. He told her that he had spent hours operating on a man to remove thousands of shards of shattered crystalware from his body. He said it had embedded itself in the man as if it was shrapnel from an explosion. Pretty freaky story. Wouldn't believe a word of it if I didn't see my cousin Jeff's scars for myself.
