When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

2 stories.....1) I do believe in ghosts, I always have..... well my campus is known to be haunted (for the believers) because too much weird stuff has happened to a lot of us over time.....
Background story- The mansion on the grounds is not the original structure..... It was build after the American Civil War after the original structure burnt down during the war. The cellar is original though and was used as a morgue during the Battle of Franklin and there were SO many casualties, that the grounds were used to place the bodies as well. The school was started in the 1960s and the campus is made up of the post Civil War mansion, the library which was built around 1878 I believe, and 3 other smaller modern day buildings. Well one day I was in the studio by myself working on a drawing I had to finish and suddenly, I SWEAR I felt someone behind and they put their hand on the shoulder and kinda dugged their thumb in... like they were comforting or rubbing.... I turned around and no one was there.... I about pissed myself but felt really peaceful at the same time... I don't know... I do know that I hurried my ass up on the drawing and the bottom left hand corner of it is not totally finished because of that..... That was the first ghost experienced I've ever had... I've had 2 more since then and now it doesn't faze me. I know this may sound odd, but if anything, there's a protective feel about the campus
2) There have been a few break-ins where I live in some of the surrounding apartments. I was in the shower and heard something outside my bathroom door and thought someone was in my apartment..... scared to death and turns out it was my noisy, IRRITATINGLY noisy neighbors above me.
