Creeping myself out
Now, I admit I have an open mind to these things but one particular incident really did spook me out.

a mate was showing me round their new house (rented and shared accomodation) and I have to say I wasn't taken with the place. It felt.. weel strange for want of a better word. Still it was dark and rubbish outside so I put it down to that.

Anyway, there was one room left to look at on the second floor. As I put my hand on the handle to open it I could see exactly what was in the room. It was as though someone had shown me a picture really quickly and took me back. My mate behind me actually asked me what was up so it must have been obvious something wierd was going on.

I explained the above and pushed the door open for fear of looking like some sort of ghost fearing wuss and it was exactly as I had seen. A room empty bar one chair, small wooden one at an angle to the window as though someone had been sitting their and looking out.

Ok not the scariest story in the world but nothing I could explain and soemthing that has made me keep the aforementioned open mind.

5t.

Sounds like deja-vu - when something goes straight into the long-term memory bypassing the short-term
giving you the feeling that you've "experienced it before".

Could well be. All I know is, i knew what that room would look like as soon as I touched the handle and before I opened it. Even down to it being a small wooden chair.

The only thing I didn't get was the slight floral print on the wallpaper but the general colour was the same.

More a freaked me out story than a ghost one I guess. Mainly because I didn't have time to type out the big ghost story!

That's the thing with deja vu. Because of how it affects your memory, you remember knowing what the room was like before you touched the handle, because your brain rewrote your memory of waiting to touch the handle after you'd gone into the room.

Edit: it's still super-creepy though and I gave you a clicky.

When they change something.
