How To Scare Yourself To Death  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588) 3 years ago

This happened last Saturday night at around 2am. It had been raining all night, not hard, just a continuous drizzle. So anyways, the wife shook me awake and told me she heard a noise downstairs, says the dog probably wants to go outside. So I reluctantly drag myself downstairs still half-asleep. But the dog is happily asleep on the couch (he's getting better sleep than me lol) so I mumble to myself and turn to head back up to the warmth of our bed. But then I hear a faint noise as I put my foot at the first step of the stairs. By the way I didn't open any lights because the aquarium is lit up enough to let me see my way.

So anyways I check the kitchen and nothing seems amiss. I check the living room, looks fine. Maybe it's the windows, I tell myself because it's a bit windy outside. So I check the windows that overlook the backyard but they're tightly closed. I turn back and then i hear a faint noise again and I'm almost certain it came from the backyard. So I move back to the window and try to peer out into the darkness. At exactly the same instant that I cup my face into the glass, another face emerges trying to peer inside my house, only the glass separating our faces. Almost simultaneously, I scream and the face let out a scream too. I almost forgot to breathe. hehehehe. By the way, I inherited my house from my grandfather, who built it before the Japanese invaded my city during World War II. It's been renovated a couple of times but guests still swear they see ghosts. So back to me screaming, I dunno if it's a ghost or a real person. So I grab the first thing I could pick up in the living room and open the backdoor, but there's no one in my backyard. But my kids' bikes are overturned and there's a single flipflop lying on the ground near the back fence. Meanwhile my wife who has heard me scream has gone down, looks at me and says "what are you gonna do, beat someone with THAT?" and I look at what I have instinctively grabbed, turns out it was one of my daughters' barbie doll hahaha. Anyways, we called the barangay tanod (community police) and luckily enough they caught a suspicious person running in the rain with one foot missing a flipflop and screwdrivers in his pocket. The face in my window wasn't a ghost after all, just a would-be burglar. It still scared me to death though. dohhappy

First off, I am glad to see you are still here...or have come back...or whatever...but I am glad you are here.thumbup

Second...I had to laugh at the barbie doll.lol

Third, I am glad they did not gain entrance, that your family is okay, and that the person was apprehended.


myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588)  3 years ago

Thanks, mykl. Got bored with the usual Filipino forums so I decided a few minutes ago to see what's up with mylot. Cleaned up my friends list, cleaned up my profile, cleaned up my playlist and figured I might as well post a discussion while I'm at it. happy

Wowwwwww!Good to see you!!
and I second all that was said in the response above! thumbup

I guess you didn't see that I searched for you whistle

So what the heck were you going to to do with that doll? lol
I could understand had it been Big Jim but Barbie, come off it!
Brilliant story and I can imagine your fright but knowing that the would-be intruder was under lock and key made you feel a lot better I hope!

Stick around because things are different now. Several changes have been made and myLot are taking care of us.

lolprobably it's either the burglar had either a dollaphobia or there's a dynamite inside (the doll) or maybe its....chucky!!!


myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588)  3 years ago

You're a good friend, di. I only got to read the PM's (yours and other friends') when I logged in last night after about 4 weeks of being away.

And hey, if the burglar is a homophobe the doll might scare him away, ya never know. cool


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 2,358 out of 32,948 in life  3 years ago

Well... it might...
Guess everything is worth trying once and a good job you didn't have to put it to the test! lol

'turn the car around...' Very appropriate! thumbupwink

lolWhat the Hell?! that would have been really scarier, since it was a real person rather than a darn ghost. He must have gotten shock himself since he saw you looking at him toolol. yeah, right a barbie doll against a steeled screw driverlol, that would have made a mismatch..was that guy trying to steal in your house, good thing your wife woke up....

whoah!! I wonder which one would have been worse? a ghost sighting or burglar successfully doing his evil deed?! So happy for you though that it was neither... Doll thing though was funny, maybe it could stun the burglar just for the sheer inappropriateness of it. lol!rasp


myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588)  3 years ago

Hey amoyube it's nice to return to MyLot and see a familiar face. happy

I'm surprised that all you did was scream at a moment like that one! I more than likely would've left a puddle of something on the floor too. shocked Thank goodness the Barangay Tanod caught this person because you really could've done him some serious damage with that Barbie Doll. Imagine the outcome if you'd accidentally picked up a Ken doll instead??? confused

Seriously though, that would've been one heck of a scare and I'm glad to hear that nothing serious came out of it.


myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588)  3 years ago

In the dark, the doll looked pointy and sharp hehehe maybe I can poke the burglar's eye with the doll's feet. It's funny now, but it was pretty scary looking into a window and seeing a face materialize out of the dark looking back at you. happy

That would have definitely scared me to death as well...but I couldn't stop from laughing about the barbie doll...I'm sorry that part was just funny. But I'm glad that he didn't break in...probably seeing you there scared him as much as he scared you. And that is a good thing the cops were able to catch the guy.

It's good to see that you and your family are safe and that nothing was stolen. happy

Here's another way to scare yourself to death: listen to the many and varied conspiracy theories about everything that's happening or has happened in the world. I guarantee you, you won't be able to sleep.

myLot reputation of 79/100. spoiledbrat802 (3588)  3 years ago

Yep we both screamed at the same time. I guess just like me he didn't expect too to see a face when he peered into the window. lol
