Thankfully, nothing all that scary has ever happened to me, or at least nothing that turned out unexplained.
However, last summer, my brother (18) and I were home alone. Around 10 am, my dog started barking. I just figured it was nothing, and told her to calm down, but she just wouldn't stop. I stepped outside briefly and saw nothing in any direction. I went back in and told my dog to be quiet, then gave her a treat to calm her down. She took the treat and spat it right out, then resumed barking. Ten minutes later, she stopped briefly, probably because her throat hurt. The strangest thing, though was her refusal to step outside. Normally, she prefers barking in the backyard to barking inside.
A few minutes later, my dog stopped barking, and ran to my room in the back of the house. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and my brother and I were too afraid to answer it. I snuck into the living room and looked outside. What I saw was simply amazing: a Mormon was trying to sell their religion to us! In a non-soliciting neighborhood! The nerve!
So, my brother called the cops and had the Mormons kicked out of our neighborhood. The end.
(Yes, that is my dog.)
I figured the dark, chilling mood of this thread could use some lightening up, consider me comic relief.
