making me cry
It's not difficult to make me cry. My tears flow freely at the drop of a hat, so to speak -- especially when it's a hat I really like and it falls into a mud puddle. Believe it or not, this has actually happened to me more than once.
I know people who cry when they're frightened -- it's more a watering of the eyes than true crying -- but I'm not usually a producer of that kind of tear. Last night, however, I was so creeped out, I found my eyes watering.
There was a new episode of "Ghost Hunters" on last night, and it really delivered all the cool freaky things that make me love the show, particularly in the audio department. The Atlantic Paranormal Society was in the U.K., investigating Hellfire Caves, and they found so much cool evidence this time that they concluded unanimously that the place is haunted.
It was the EVPs that got me, though. I've blogged about them before -- electronic voice phenomena, when a recording device picks up speech that wasn't heard by the people in the room at the time. Scary stuff. And last night, there were three big EVPs -- one that sounded like, "Helloooooo," and two that were incomprehensible.
I'm not sure which scared me more, to be honest, but after that experience, I had to retreat from my living room couch to the safety of my well-lit bedroom and the comfort of "Family Ties" on DVD. And only then could I stop crying.
