He is still freaked out about that incident to this day.

Look at the back of your car right now; if you've got the slightest bit of road dust on there, there'll be hand prints from closing the trunk etc.

wow, i didn't think there'd be that many people w/personal experiences! I'm glad no one's had real menacing/violent encounter though. I've read about some pretty crazy experiences on some sites.

my friend told me this story about him: one night, he and his girlfriend were sleeping in their bedroom when my friend all of a sudden sat straight up with beads of sweat dripping down his head. his girlfriend woke up and asked what he was doing. when she asked for the second or third time, he grabbed her throat and wouldn't let go. his girlfriend freaked out and started crying as she was trying to pry his hand off of her throat, but nothing seemed to work. finally, she slapped him across the face and he finally let go. after he released his hand, he franticly apologized to her and explained that he knew what was going on, but he just couldn't move any part of his body...
when he told me that, i was just like "wowwww"...as for myself, i have never encountered any strange incidents but i do want to see a ghost really really badly...love being freaked out.
btw, great thread!

When you sleep, your brain is supposed to secrete a chemical that keeps you from moving or acting out your dreams...sometimes it doesn't work that well.
To make a long story short, he tried to kick him in the ding ding and wham! His wife took it right there. She's about 5'1 and he's 5'10, works out everyday + running 3 miles every morning. She wasn't happy

intro:
There is a superstition that my friends believe *filipino* that if you smell a burning candle, there is a ghost around.
story:
We were all chilling outside my boys house having a party for Friend A leaving to the phillipines the next day *well that day actuallly, it was past midnight*
Friend A & B took off on bicycles down the street. About 10 minutes later, friend A comes hauling *** back and goes inside, then a minute later friend B comes up.
We ask friend B what's up? He said friend A smelled a burning candle strong as ever... then freaked out and hauled *** back. Now we're all 18 and up here, so it's kinda strange.
fast forward to that afternoon: *same day remember the event happened after midnight*
I'm driving A and B and 2 more random people to SF airport to drop off friend A. We drop him off, he goes, we leave SFO.
Now we've never been to the SF before, so we decide to drive around and see what we can find, I believe we took the millbrae exit, then head down el camino north for awhile. We stopped at some mall that i can't remember the name atm, then head north again on El Camino.
This whole time, i'm being pressured to make left or right turns. I'm being resistant cause i'm not about to get lost, none of us been there and knows how to get home. None of us know anything north of fremont =p
Well we drove for quite some time, and Friend B all of a sudden yells "hey i know this place, my lil bro is burried here" (lil bro drowned at like 5y/o friend B wasn't much older, mother also died at the same time, she drown trying to save the lil bro)
He hasn't been there in like over 10 years or so and only been there once or twice at that.
We somehow make it to a cemetary in Colma, and as if being guided, my friend walked right up to the exact grave where his lil bro was...
So we start going on like how that burning candle smell was his little bro telling him to visit etc..... we all start to believe, but it wasn't until i was taking a picture of Friend B posing next to the gravestone that made us believe.....
As i'm looking through the camera lense, i notice something odd about the date, it was apparently Friend B's lil bro's Bday...THAT FRICKEN DAY!!!!
a little to much coincidence for me to believe it was chance.

For the Gravity Hill heads... if I remember it right, you have to put the car in neutral before the 90 degree bend facing back toward antioch at the pole at the bottom of the hill and the car will start moving uphill. It'll continue moving uphill for about 4 or 5 poles or so then it'll stop moving. I forget which poles exactly work, but it works something like that.
I remember when I first heard about Gravity Hill a couple years back before the area got popular, I heard my friend saying he saw some KKK people rolling around in trucks telling people to go away.
Another haunted spot: the old hospital in the Presidio on 15 Ave. Many ghost sightings and very creepy, especially inside.

Dude, you watch out the way you handle chi! As superstitious and strange as it sounds, some noi gung (internal kung fu) practitioners have seen some pretty nasty visions, and some have gone crazy from the shiet that they saw. There's some dude I heard of in Hong Kong that went too far in his training and now he sees bloody corpses and devils all over the damn place that no one else sees. I dunno how true the story is, but just be careful because there are LOTS of these stories...

Sleep paralysis is suposed to be due to the brain not releasing you from your paralized sleep state. Obviously...lol. So when you go to sleep your brain tells your body not to move during sleep. This is so you don't act out your dreams or hurt yourself. Usually it works just fine and you wake up in your bed in the morning. When you have sleep paralysis, you start to wake up (although you're still in somewhat of a sleep state) and you can't move or talk, but you seem to be aware of your surroundings. It soon wears off as you becom fully awake. Simple enough, except however, most people that experience this often say that there is some sort of fear involved. Or, that there is some sort of evil entity out there.
The first time this happened to me I was in Haiti witht he military. I was way out in the middle of nowhere in a little coastal village called Jeremie. So I was racked out and when I woke up, I couldn't move. I thought, "This isn't right.". Then I got a little worried. The next thing I felt was a forboding sense that something was coming for me. Something bad and I better wake up before "it" got there. So over and over again I told myself to get up. Finally I sat straight up and could move again. I think it has something to do with the sense that you're totally volnurable and it just scares the hell out of you. I also think that you really arn't awake, and you're just having a really vivid dream.
