so some homework from @missy @rambo @charmaine =D
I really don't have any.. well like the usual ones anyway about black cats, ladders, cracks in the footpath ect. Being in Australia Halloween isnt as celebrated here like it is in the states.
BUT I guess if I had to think about it religious supernatural stuff gives me the heepy jeebies.. mostly because of the christian life I use to live having parents who run a church but what a lot of Christians don't touch on these days (I find) is the belief, thoughts, theories and semi superstitions they have on demons.. This always scared the shit out of me as a kid.. especially the idea of dark forces attacking because we were 'fighting for the word of god'
I really have not told anyone this story before.. maybe my partner but thats it..
Like how when I was 10 we moved states so dad could start his own church.. and a string of not great events happened in our family through the move from Tasmania to New South Wales.. My sister for one got the most crippling boil, as in the really gross and painful sore, but it stopped her from walking and lets just say she was super traumatized by the pain the doctors put her through trying to fix it, the screams of a child in pain especially for her twin sister (me) was physically painful for me. My brother got really sick and my dad, with really random flu chest infection type things in the middle of summer AND as much as I hate to admit it I had this really scary night where I can't even explain what happen and most of the time I convince myself its in my head.. but one of our first nights staying at my uncles here in Sydney I woke up to it dropping in temperature like I was freezing (once again mid of summer) and it was so dark like all the lights where gone and I got the most evil scared feeling in my gut.. I went to go wake my sister up, she rolled over and what I saw wasnt her face but the face of this ugly horned man (what I presumed then and refer to still.. a demon) the face changed and got more gruesome and was laughing at me.. I tucked my head under my pillow trying to hide from it and did what the bible said.. when scared of evil spirits using gods holy name is suppose to ward these off so in my mind I said 'in the name of God demon be gone!'.. i looked out off my blanket to see the hall light was back on, it wasnt cold anymore and my sister sleeping happily in the bed next to me..
Needless to say I told my mom, who told my dad and thats when he discussed his theory with me of how our family was being attacked by evil spirits because we were doing something good for god by opening a new church..
NOW YES I know this sounds a little crazy.. I dont really believe in religion or chrisitanity anymore but I would lying if the idea of demons doesnt make me pee myself a little.. I mean if you believe in god and angels.. you should believe in the devil and demons because you can't have good without bad..
Geez I feel like I went a little off topic on this blog but oh wells all in the fun of Halloween I guess!
If this topic interests you I actually know alot more about than I would like to admit, mostly from my dad. we use to have the best biblical/ general thoughts discussed while watching supernatural.. it was kinda kool and scary. anyway maybe I should do a video blog on the subject? let me know!
