Its about time the tables were turned. Its like 12:10 am (yes I'm up late) and went outside for a spell.  I wandered over near the dark woods on the property and MAN! I got a chill.., okay.., its like 40 degrees out so .., whatever.., but I'm talking like the creepy crawly type of chills.., like something was right there with me, but I couldn't see it.

I don't like to up and say "Dude! Its a Ghost and I am sooo out of here!".  Thats not logical.  From past experience I can tell you there are unseen things that can and will scare the peaches to rolling down your pants leg - but this is not so in every case. Most of the time, its very explainable - things like over active imagination can give you the willies just by itself.

Anyways - I was using my logical side of the brain (which ever side that is) and said to myself.., "Dude. There ain't no haint out here. Got that! You are giving yourself the willies."  Satisfied with that, I ditched the whole flight temptation (never could fly anyway).  Made myself stand there, longer than I normally would just to spite that odd sensation.

Well - Funny thing.  Something was rubbing the back of my head.., from the nap of the neck up toward the top of my head.  This was a bit more than I expected, and was a far cry from imagination.  Still, I didn't run.  I WALKED, and resisted the urge to run VERY FAST, as unnerving as this experience was.

Halfway between the house and where I was when it started, I stopped and thought.., "Dude! I am NOT going to let something I cant see have fun at my expense", so I turned around as fast as I could (bad back and all) and flung my arms out as if I were attacking/scaring it - - whatever it was.  It stopped!  I started on back to the house and it started again.  I wheeled around doing the same thing as before only this time, I waggled my pointing finger in the negative, "Don't even!".  And it quit for good.

Now - I gotta be honest.  I never had that happen before.  It felt almost solid, and added weight to the back of my head, but it didn't have the same sensation as you would .., say.., if I were to rub your head in the same area.  Ever see that gooshy rubber stuff they use in kids toys? The sensation would be similar to rubbing that on the back of your head.

I'm well aware that not everyone has any kind of weird unnatural experience, but others do.  My advice is - Never run unless you are obviously in danger. A person must get a grip and understand these things cant hurt you. Get mad or neutral, just don't let fear take hold.  As for why this "thing" did what it did, maybe it liked my new gray hair I'm sporting - I really have no idea.
