[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location

How do you feel about Tumblr?

Re: Ghost stories and Personal experiences.

The end of my junior year in high school, both the US History teacher and the World History teacher (yes, there was only one of each, I went to a small school) basically had an open house for their students. I ended up going to both. The one at the US History teacher's house was uneventful, but the World History teacher had an old (like, built in the 1830s, and now all the Europeans are laughing at me, but for my part of the US that's really old) house. I and one of my friends wandered away from the barbecue pit, which was where most everyone was because of the food, and went upstairs to the second floor to see if we could get out onto the balcony. We couldn't, because the door out onto it was locked, but when we turned around to leave, the door to the staircase to the third floor (which wasn't part of the open house) opened without either one of us touching it. We both started feeling really strange and shivering, even though it wasn't any colder than it had been. We felt something go past us, and we thought we saw a shadow, although that last could have been us freaking each other out at that point. We went back downstairs and point-blank asked our teacher if the house was haunted. His response was, "Oh, you saw her?"

Apparently one of the previous owners of the house was a woman who'd been born in the house, grew up there, never married, was left the house by her parents, and died there. According to our teacher and the previous owner, she never left. Our teacher had never seen her, but was used to hearing her, and when they'd first moved in she'd knocked paintings off the wall if she didn't like where they were. I thought he was pulling our leg, but one of the other students was going white - turns out our teacher had already told the other student the story (they were interested in pre-Civil-War architecture for some reason), and *they* were really freaked out that we hadn't known the ghost was there and seen/felt it.

I've had the same feeling in other places since then, and every time but one, later found out that it was supposed to be haunted. I've never gotten the idea the ghost was hostile, though, and I've never had one of them do something tangible like open a door again.
