Met my wife at Auburn. Her senior year up there, she had a poltergeist, or mischevous spirit, in her apartment. Got so bad that we went to the apartment manager and asked if anyone had died or had anything bad ever happened in there. No real scary stuff, just weird, unexplainable crap happening all the time. A few things:
She and I are alone, sitting on the couch watching TV late one night and the faucet in the bathroom turns on hot water, full blast. It's just us in there.
We were in her kitchen cooking up something and she had a hot pad hanging on one of those plastic hooks with an adhesive back that you stick on the wall. I reached to get the hot pad and it was lying on the counter, underneath the hook, which was now turned upside down. Odd. No biggee. Except that the only way you could turn the hook back or get it off the wall was to rip some of the sheetrock off with it. Plus, I had already used the hot pad a few minutes earlier and hung it back on the hook.
She and her roommate went to Wendy's and while sitting at the drive through, one asked the other what time it was. They got back to the apartment and when they started eating, one of them noticed the digital clock they had on a shelf was no longer there. Weird. They found the clock unplugged with the cord wrapped around it and sitting behind a speaker. The time on it was exactly the time one of them had said while in the drive through.
The weirdest was this. The lady across the hall was a tutor, hired by the University to work with the athletes so there were football and basketball players constantly in and out of there. One particular basketball player who did fairly well at AU and in the pros and does a little NBA commentating and is really bad at golf.....usually needed all night tutoring sessions. But I digress. A lot of times we'd have the door open and some would come in, sit around and talk. One night, several of the players were in there including Ed West, tight end that played a little pro ball himself. All of a sudden, West looks at the sliding glass window that goes out on the balcony (3rd floor) and there is the perfect imprint of the profile of some evil looking face on the glass. We'd all been in there for 10-15 minutes seated where we were pretty much facing that glass. That face had not been there. West freaked out and about knocked over 3 people on his way out the door. The face/head itself was incredibly detailed, right down to the hair and even the pores on the face. It faded soon after.
Personally, I like to think I woke up the spirits with all the powerful pounding she and I were doing every night. I'm good like that. But other than the sex, there were some really weird things going on in that apartment.
