Okay so it is common knowledge in my family now that the tv in my room hasnt worked for a while. It being 15 years old, my parents didnt really care when I told them it no longer switched on. One day it was working perfectly fine adn the following day it wouldnt switch on. I tried everything. changing the plugs, trying to prise the button off the tv to switch it on from behind the button and whacking it with my fist/books/anything really. It didnt work.
I was out babysitting last night and got back at 12. Stayed on msn till about 1 then went to bed. The tv was still not working, as usual.
A few days ago I was told about a family up the road who'd been burgled and they'd been sprayed with a tranquiliser while they were sleeping to make sure they were still asleep and cleared out their bedroom. Well that scared me a tiny bit.
I woke up at 5am. It wasn't pitch dark like it should have been but the tv was on. Well, it wasnt on, it was on The Ring style, all grey and crackly and the screen lit up the whole room. I got spooked. I practically shat myself there and then. I sat up and turned off teh tv and lay there, in bed, not breathing, so scared. I actually looked around the room to see if there was anything in there, You have no idea how scared I was. I mean, I woke up in the middle of the night to find my tv on. I mean, wtf, what does that? I was so scared I was in some kinda hot sweat, shaking.
Anyways I woke up with morning thinking it must have been a really really Really vivid dream. Yunno a tv doesnt just start working long after a person has given up trying to fix it. I thought nothing of it, yunno, obviously it was another one of the nightmares I had recently been having. And I've been having loads of nightmares. So I came upstairs before going out this morning to see if it worked and Shit it did. I was shocked/horrified that last night was real.
Honestly, it is really spooky and scary.
Edit: & also, now the tv almost killed me with shock, the reception is a thousand times better. I mean, before I only had 2 clear channels, the rest fuzzy. Now they are all perfect!
