Was that the one with the bloody ghost woman? I didn't bother to check until I noticed the browser scrolling comment.
I was intrigued by that too. Nice use of the auto-scroll.
Oddly enough, I was startled by it more than scared by it. If anything, I actually felt bad about that lost soul.
What would have helped would have been asking for information (after getting past the initial squick), and also being honest and saying no. Plus, with abnormal ghost towns and such, I would usually assume a Silent Hill pocket-reality effect is in play, and just learn the rules of it, what the creature is, what it wants, and logically and wisely, and kindly, figure out a solution, and maybe even, help the poor soul out (removing the curse in the process, and maybe even making a friend). Then again, I'm pretty hardened to this stuff. Also helps learning how to not panic. Having several close encounters with sharks kinda helps about that. So far, the Natural worries me more than the Supernatural; the Subnatural, I'm uncertain.
EDIT:
Naturally, for supernatural events, whether you're a religious person or not, it also helps to say a prayer; at least, asking for
St. Michael the Archangel's protection (
simpler version of the same prayer; commonly said during mass). It always helps to have one of God's elite looking after you. Especially if they're reputed for kicking Satan's ass on a regular basis. In my case, it also helps that they're my guardian angel.
EDIT EDIT:
Come and think of it, I think that's why I probably have so few supernatural events in my life,
outside of deceased family visiting by blowing open the doors on a calm day and leaving them open (close the freaking door after coming in; bad enough the living still do that), and maybe the occasional UFO (2 sightings in my lifetime so far, 1 semi-lit (several windows on it) and clear as day (all full-grey like a worn/well-traveled ship, though it looked similar to Bespin Cloud City or a flying mushroom, and as tall as a skyscraper), and another were glowing orbs cruising along the river; both local sightings). Oddly enough, I checked MUFON about any sightings related to it, and no results.
EDIT EDIT EDIT:
A theory I have about anyone with ghost stories and encounters with the Supernatural. What mindset did you have before the event took place, and do you believe you may have psychic potential? UFOs are a minor exception; they may be using a denial field that may convince you they're not there. Not invisibility, per se, but applied/forced-ignorance. Like having a crush on someone, and they don't even notice you exist.
