So I sit back on my chair, reminiscing about strange memories while surfing through TL and exhausted after a day of college. I then recall this creepy coincidence that happened one night several months ago (or was it last year).

***


The clock was ticking past 11 pm. It was a fine, clear night. I was surfing through until I came upon my favourite horror channel, Thrill. I then checked the movie description, and it was ah, the good old Ring-u, the Japanese version infamously known as "The Ring". I had been watching that movie several times in the past, and it never gets old.

So anyway, I put my legs up on the coffee table and watched the movie in darkness in the tranquil peace of the living room. When it came time to the infamous scene of dear sweet Sadako climbing out of a well, on a running tape being watched by one of the movie's protagonists, I murmured to myself, "oh, oh, oh, here we go again...".

There was static on the tape, and she finally began to emerge with her black hair visible, covering her face. It was then that the creepy coincidences happened.

She began to crawl forward and onto the ground, towards the screen. I smiled back at her, knowing that I was not the scared protagonist, staring in terror at her (or was it his) TV. Oh, how much I love Japanese horror films!

As the static grew louder and more coherent, and Sadoko's white dress became more starkly contrasted against the background, the cable box beside the TV began sending out erratic signals. There was now static on my own TV as well.

"What... the... fuck...?"

At this time? At this time? The cable wiring beside my TV was known to be fickle sometimes, showing static and distorted images on some channels. But why must it have to be this channel of all things?

The picture was distorted, and still, Sadako continued to approach the screen with her contorted body, crawling on all fours like a hell-born lizard. I was frozen. I wanted to reach out to the cable box, and adjust the cables as I always do whenever there was static on the TV. I could not.

No, no, no, no, no.

My eyes darted around, and then finally to the clock on the living room's wall.

11.57 pm.

"What... the... fuck...?" Small beads of sweat started forming on my forehead. My heart pounded silently against my ribcages. I desperately wanted to move, and switch off the TV. Luckily, it finally went into total white noise. The distorted picture was gone, and so was Sadako, at least for now.

11.58 pm.

With the droning sizzle of white noise still in my ears, I looked out through the balcony window. The tenants on the opposite row of condominiums were going on about their lives peacefully. A teenage boy studying. A young baby girl running across the carpet. A family eating dinner. I let out a huge sigh of relief.

11.59 pm.

The telephone rang. I was startled for a second. I did not want to pick it up, not after I had watched "The Phone Call", or whatever that Japanese movie was called. The ringing stopped. Oh, my mom had picked it up in her room. I let out another sigh of relief.

The white noise continued to sizzle and sizzle. I stared at the TV blankly, hoping that the well scene was over by now, once the TV came back on. If it would, by itself.

12 midnight.

The living room door blasted open creaked slowly open. Creak, creak. I stared through the darkness, straining my eyes to see who was there.

"Hey, bro." Shit, it was just my younger brother, coming back from camp. I slumped back into the couch, weary. My brother came over, looked at the TV, and remarked, "Huh, white noise? What are you going to do about it? I guess it is those cables again."

Yeah, yeah.

12.01 am.

I adjusted the cables, and Thrill came back on. This time, there was no well scene and no dear sweet Sadako. Oh, how I have missed thee... NOT. I continued to watch the remainder of the movie in peace.

Soon, it was time for bed. I trotted into my room, and under my comfy blankets. I left my lamp on, leaving the room in partial darkness. Staring at the ceiling, I counted imaginary sheep and thought of this day's happenings.

The blanket ruffled. My mind immediately scrambled to a scene of Ju-On (The Grudge). I pulled up my blankets, and I expected Kayako with her deathly eyes, and black hair covering her face, to snarl at me.

A hallucination came over me. She pulled me under the blankets, over the end of my bed, and underneath it, into whatever hell she had prepared for me. I screamed... silently. And I died with a gaping mouth and terror-filled face, soon to be spread on newspapers the day after.

Woof!

Huh, what? It was Buddy, my sweet Shih-Tzu. He snuggled between my legs, and tried to sleep. My heart was pounding slowly, and the blood was still ringing in my ears.

Well.... shit.

1.32 am.

***


And yes, this is all true. It happened to me. Pure coincidences, or maybe I am really cursed. Later in marriage, they might come back to haunt me. Maybe. ^^

PS: R.I.P, Buddy. I love you very much and I still miss you. =3

Awesome story :p
That feeling when you're paralized with fear is utterly irreplaceable. It makes you feel alive! The rush is good, but even better, is the feeling when you finally calm down. My vivid imagination always starts to work, and I often imagine things too ^^.

You know when you're home alone, not a living soul in the house, and you wake up deep in the night because of some sound? You just lay there, in your bed, listening to the sound. Unable to move a muscle or get up and turn the lights on or go check what is making that sound? You want to get up or scream, but the only thing your body allows you to do is pant your eyes from one corner of the room to the other and to breathe?
And finally when you muster up the courage, you break the paralysis and do what you want? Best feeling in the world.

I love being scared from time to time. Makes you feel really alive. Fright is a good reflex for your body, as long as you don't experience it too often =)

Err... because of the blog below yours, I read this title as: "My first real life ho...oker"

I hate scary things. T_T Only thing that's happened to me like that was in high school around 3 am I was sitting awake in bed with the lights off (just gone to bed about 30 minutes earlier) and someone knocked very loudly on my window. I didn't want to go peeking through my window and come face to face with something scary, so I ran around into my sister's room which was next to mine to look out. Nothing was there. I went back and got into bed. Maybe 10 minutes later the knocking happened again. Looked out my sisters window and no one was there. (It was a really bright night cause there were zero clouds and a big moon.) Creeped me the fuck out and I didn't really sleep that night. XD

Once I was scarred because of well... read This. We drew a conclusion that scary/drunk people happen to come into your house when you are around the age of 14. YAY

edit: O and, incase anyones wondering, this still happens every week at around the same time O.O

The thing is, if you hadn't watched the movie. Those things wouldn't have seemed strange

God I love horror movies and such. Since I was about 5, I was in haunted houses with my dad, acting in them, being the scary little girl chanting or running after you with a bloody knife (yah, my dad was sadistic). I always crave that paralyzing fear, though its rare since I was in haunted houses haha. I still love a good horror movie though

Indeed! That is why I am such a HUGE horror buff aficionado. I watch all kinds of horror films, whether it be Japanese, Western slash flicks, French gore, or South Korean psychological thrillers. The fear makes me so alive, but at the same time, I am safe in the thought that they are simply movies and not real. Not so in this case, apparently. >_<

Let me guess, it was a tree branch knocking on your window. It happened to me overseas; there was this swaying tree in the wind outside the window and it kept rattling its branches against it.

Ouch, it still happens now? I think you should install a CCTV so that you can observe whatever happens around that time.

Yeah, but I cannot help watching horror films. I just simply love them. This was one of the very rare times when I was really creeped out by the irony of it all.
