Well since there are people posting about wierd happenings about their dorm rooms, I guess its just right that I share mine.
My story is rather weird as are all ghost stories, it took place in my freshman dormitory in Carnegie Mellon University, to be exact, Morewood Gardens, E-tower, 606.
My first encounter, I wasn’t really sure if it was paranormal related, but as they progressed, I was rather sure of it. One day, when I was sitting at my desk, all the posters of my room just flopped on the floor at once. There were four of them in all, and all them were hung by thumb tacks. This gave me a major HMMM… then I just threw it in the back of my mind, a truck possibly passed by.. and shook the walls…. YEAH.. THATS IT!! Yeah…
Then one day, as I was sitting at my desk, my computer turned on by itself, monitor and all.. and if you know about PC power switches.. thats pretty hard to do with a power surge, you gotta flip on a huge, imposing switch for it to turn on!!! This is no feather touch baby.. Then another day, and my TV turned on by itself… Now the story gets real freaky…
My room was like the floor headquarters for video entertainment, it had a Super Famicom (Japan’s Nintendo) CD rom, Sega, TV, VCR the works, people on the floor would just come in and play the things, it was cool, they brought beer and chips and stuff. But one day, my next door neighbor Miguel, who WAS TOTALLY SOBER, was playing video games experienced a cold breeze, and then turned his head towards my bed and saw a dark shadow hovering over my bed. Then subsequently ran out of my room…
Then the next day my friend Steve was in my room trying to convince me that if I ws strong in faith with God (He does this stuff.. its his way…) I would surpass these obstacles… but as he finished his last sentence.. to the very last second… my answering machine turned on…
