Maybe it did happen...and for the last few years since it happened I have been dreaming this reality, when in fact I am in that split second of time between when I am grabbed by the ghost and when I wake up screaming. I hope I never wake up... crying.gif

I've never heard that one. I ave heard that if you sleep with your head towards the foot of the bed, some kind of ghost or demon is supposed to "get you".

I've slept in every position before... Never got caught by any ghosts. I guess its safe. Just those rumours thing I guess.
Lord Umbarger
That's why they are called "Urban Legends"! Maybe what actually gets you is the smell of feet on the bed sheets???

It's not true. However, sleep with your feet to the door and you will die in your sleep.

I think I've heard that one, but what I've heard was a different version. If you sleep with your feet facing to the door, you will wake up in a casket.

Yep, this is a very old superstition.
If you sleep with your feet facing the door, you tempt Death. Your feet facing the door symbolize you being carried out that way by mourners, or of entering a door to the Afterlife.
Some horror movies may have used it but it's a very old fear.
I sleep with my head beside the door, with my feet facing away. Can't be too careful ... unsure.gif

Maybe if I die in my sleep, I will be dreaming of the original Mortisha Addams and won't much care...or notice? (!).

I ahve always ahd my feet towards the door because of the way the rooms are laid out.

Hmmmm.....I'm hoping it's not true cos that's how I sleep every night! May be having a change-around in my room! Ha ha!
ravergirl
I have never heard of an electronic ghost. Matter of opinion that sounds incredibly lame. however. The whatcha call it....ancient art of feug shui says something about no mirrors in your bedroom lest a 3rd party ruin your relationship...so cover your mirror...and you should be able to see out of your bedroom door from your normal sleeping position....for peace or something like that...im not kidding google it.

my television is right infront of my bed and I'm still here. It's nice I can push a pillow up against the wall and watch some tv on a nice flat screen television with a blu ray player. Maybe it has to do with the new technology and ghosts can only come out of older tv set? hehe

No, I fall asleep in front of my kitchen TV every Friday night, and not once have I been grabbed by a electronic ghost. Although....

Once, I woke up on Black Friday, and I felt as though something had pulled me out of my sleep, but I might have been APing. tongue.gif
