Well, I just got back from a small party and am pleasantly drunk. I felt the need to talk to somebody about something but everyone else is pretty well out. So, y'all are all I got. Which is fine, I like youse people.
Anyway, most of y'all are familiar with my little writing project a ways back. The bit about the woods. The first one that is, the second one was pretty dumb, was shot down accordingly. The first one did pretty good though and I think I know why. It was based pretty firmly in reality. I did grow up in the woods, ways back into em too. And they were strange to me then, still are now. There are places back there where i'd go as a kid, but never again. Places that felt very bad to me, places that made me shiver. There is a clearing about 4 miles out back o' beyond, nearest house was mine, next nearest was about 15 miles east, as the crow flies. That clearing terrifies me. I went there one day, right after a thunderstorm, and it was a boomer too. The air felt charged, tasted like copper. I musta
been about 11, went back there with my .22 chasin squirrels. I got into this clearing and it hit me like something physical, and I was terrified. The woods were silent, dead silent.
And I started crying, bawling my eyes out, ran out of there fast as I could. Musta ran halfway back to my place for I stopped exhausted. I went back there before I wrote that story. Same reaction, cept that time I saw something. Had my 4 wheeler that time, nearly broke my neck gettin out of there.
Some writer wrote something along the lines of "There are some places where the milk of the cosmos has gone bad." That clearing is one of those places. I wouldnt go to that place at night for all the money in the world.
P.S. Does the word "kuwabara" mean anything to any of you people? Been in my head for awhile now, don't know why.

Kubawara, capibara, same thing. I usually just call them "Speak" in homage to The Tick.
<b>And scare the living crap out of you.</b>
In a side note: Does anyone else get the chills when they look through a doorway and then see through another door in that room?
thats a bird.
Kuwabara is the american (well, dumb white) guy from Yu Yu Hakusho (anime)
As for the places that got that bad mojo?
yah, I have run into them also.
but that is generaly b/c my ultimate fear is being alone. Thus I don't like places where there is nothing else around.
Only in the sense that it's one more entrance to the room, making it a little less secure.
Though I might be misunderstanding you. You're saying you're afraid of being in room A, looking to room B, and seeing a doorway on the other side of room B leading to room C?
P.S. I figured where I heard "Kuwabara". Was at a buddies and he was playing MGS4. Some big Russian guy with electricity running through him said it a couple times under his breath when he was walking along a bridge. Still dont get it.
Wow. Yeah that gives me the chills sometimes too. I have this odd habit of shutting doors if no one is using the room, even if there is no need to. Dunno when it started though.
I'm a big believer in 6th sense. You probably didn't see anything physical when you were out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if you felt a presence strong enough for your eyes to create something. It's happened to me before.
As for what you were saying BadKarma, ive kinda had that happen to me before. i was in the woods by myself and to me it seemed there should have been some kind of noise but it was dead silent.
Kuwabara kuwabara is sort of like "touch wood". Japanese in origin, you would say it like a spell to avoid thunderstorms and being hit by lightning. People also say it just to avoid bad things happening.
