There are terrifying ghost tales and there are mundane ones; if I could have chosen the Bell Witch to appear before me I would have. No wait, I take that back. My friends know that I am someone who wants to believe in stuff. God, ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, the possibility of a good new Star Wars film— I make no bones about desiring these things to be real.
The 10 Best Ghost Stories
That being said, I never actually observed anything I could honestly classify in my own mind as supernatural until my late twenties. So, the year is or Pizza boxes, Pepsi bottles, plates, glasses, beer cans, and utensils cover the coffee table before me. Something slams the coffee table.
Utensils rattle, Pepsi bottles topple, an empty beer can rolls off on to the floor. I stare at the table for a solid minute, not moving except to blink. Could it have been something heavy that had fallen off? Might something on the ground have simply tumbled over and hit it? No, and in any event I saw the table slammed and lifted upwards , not bumped and moved slightly askew. I circle the table a good three or four times. Eventually I find myself just standing there, staring at it.
For how long, I do not recall.

Eventually I sit back down. I do not turn off the light. And that was it. There was some minor strangeness the following day. My brother and I saw some utensil, a dipping spoon or some such thing, pop right off its hook above the sink in his kitchen, then he lost his keys and found them in an unlikely spot behind a row of books on a shelf, but I paid none of it much mind. All of it was background noise at the time, anyway.
The goddamn jumping table was what chiefly occupied my thoughts that day. Sure, I was raised Catholic, believed in ghosts and all the other stuff, but even at my most willing to believe, it was still all in theory. And in such a mundane, almost nonchalant way! It was something very small, yet very much not possible. Earlier this year I saw the film Noah , and was really impressed by the scene where the Creator the movie never refers to the Man Upstairs as anything but the Creator announces His presence to Noah.
A single rain drop falls from the sky, lands on the grass before him, and a tiny flower immediately sprouts. Small, miniscule even, but still very much against the rules. All I know is that, for less than one second, I saw the rules break. I made several attempts at rational explanations. None were satisfactory, and all were repeated to me by anyone who later heard the tale. That not being the case, the testimony of my eyes was enough to satisfy the court of my brain.
Dedicated to your stories and ideas.
I imagine there are people who see things like that and just forget about it. On the other hand, I can see people putting it out of their mind because of what it might mean if it actually did happen.

As I said, something slammed into it, something very much like a fist. The enormity of it hits me every so often though, usually in the bathroom. That other thing I mentioned earlier is something I am less sure happened. This particular script involves a subject this Catholic boy has long been interested in, the demonic.

As I write my screenplay, I have a sheet of printer paper with half a dozen demon names scribbled on it right beside my computer. I close down for the night and head to bed. Lacking an air conditioner, I turn on the fan. I lie down and drift to sleep.
Some time later I waken. Not all the way, but enough that I open my eyes a little. Somewhere on the dark carpet I spot a small white rectangle, a sheet of paper.
