Obviously not an actual paranormal experience, but the power went out once when we were watching the Blair Witch Project as a teenager with a bunch of friends, and while you rationally know that thereโ€™s nothing supernatural about this, and itโ€™s just a power outage with poor timing, your brain cannot stop itself from freaking out about it when youโ€™re in the middle of it!

Thankfully everyone involved survived the night. ๐Ÿ˜‰

When we watched The Ring with my sons, near the end of the movie, I slipped my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed the land line so it started ringing just when the movie ended.

Screams all around. Great fun.

I hope you held a flashlight under your chin and whispered about how freaked out you were
