    This happened when I was almost done with Insomnia.

    I was in a store and had accidentally bumped into an older woman in produce. I apologized and I don't remember exactly what her reply was....something along the lines of "Fuggedabouddit" which doesn't really matter. What mattered was that she addressed me as "Short-timer."

    Gave me chills. I was waiting for her to whip out some scissors.

    Not freaky, just a big coincidence but I read Insomnia in 9th grade and lent it to three friends. Well all three of us that year got some type of insomnia. One had trouble going to sleep initially, one had trouble waking up like 3 hours earlier than normal and being unable to sleep, and I started waking up 2-3 times every single night (which lasted 4 very long years). Needless to say, I don't lend the book out to anyone that isn't prepared to lose some sleep.

    i was reading a book called Dragon Harper by Anne and Todd McCaffery. the story is about a pandemic of influenza that killed those that were in the prime of their lives. at the end of the book it has facts about all the flu epidemics that happened in our time...the one in the book described exactly the flu crisis we are having now in mexico!!!!

    Have just watched a horror movie (namely, Lake Dead) whose music was composed by a Mark Petrie. Listened very attentively. Nothing special, though.

    I love this kinds of things.

    I have one. I have always been a big Stephen King fan but for some reason never fancied reading Pet Semetary and always thought I wouldn't. I saw the movie and it was pants so it kind of put me off.

    Anyway, a few years ago, not long after I had left home, I was walking through the town centre where my other half lives and a charity shop had a table outside because they were having a book sale and on the table was Pet Semetary. A really battered copied at that. It was cheap enough so I bought it ( I wasnt buying books that day or thinking about it).

    Cut to a week later and I was visiting my mum and dads and unfortunately our pet dog had died. Weirdly, it was the day I bought the book but I had no idea. My parents wanted to wait to tell me face to faces so waited a week!

    Needless to say it was traumatic but I ended up loving Pet Semetary!

    Okay, so I recently have developed an inability to take any kind of flu vaccination due to my hyperactive immune system. And "they", by whom I mean those mysterious scientists (which is a way to say I am pulling my source out of my ass here, but play along, okay?) say that "we are due for a superflu" like the 1900s where a significant portion of the population was wiped out. Then, this past year they had teh weird flu--heck I don't even remember what they called it but I am thinking "oh crap its Captain Trips," right?

    Great thread, I just wanna bump it uup again cuz its creepy
    People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...
