The World is Full of Unusual Things
Some of these things just seem different, make us think for a moment, or just a little scared. Old houses you remember as a kid. That book you stayed up all night to read, then could not sleep for the next 2 weeks because you were afraid to close your eyes. That weird feeling when you are walking home alone at night. Most of the time it is just our imagination working in overdrive. Sometimes it is not.
