This is a true story, and so as not to leave out any pertinent facts, I will tell you the exact truth as it happened.I used to be friends with a girl who had claimed to have some kind of powers. She said she practiced witchcraft and also said to have seen ghosts. I had always been one of those undecided people. I couldn't say I believed her, or that she was lying. There are just some things that remain a mystery, but I always leaned towards belief for the fun of it.This one particular day, she told me and my friend a story about her supposedly haunted bedroom (which is a renovated basement). Her bedroom was large. You walked down the stairs and to your left was a living room and her bedroom, side-by-side, but with the wall of the bedroom going back much further to allow for a bathroom, which is situated behind the living room.If your standing on the stairs facing the living room, it's set up like this: a couch is pushed against the wall you're facing in the living room. Directly in front of that is a coffee table with five candles lined along the edge closest to you. Then about 4 feet in front of the table(which is in front of where you're standing, now, on the stairs facing the large room), is this really old television set.Now, the story she told my friend and I was that when she has all five of the candles on her coffee table lit, you NEVER see all five reflections in the television. Sometimes there will be three, sometimes, one, sometimes, none, but never five (she didn't know why and I don't know if it has any significance). That's what she told us. Not creepy, maybe it can be explained, but what happened early the next morning WAS strange.Background info. My friend and I took a hallucinegen that day which wore off that night. I really don't think I was still hallucinating when I saw what I saw, plus I wasn't the only one to see it (and the other girl who saw it had not taken anything), AND the drug had worn off 8 hours prior to seeing what I saw.So anyway. My friend and I slept over our gifted friend's house that night. We stayed up all night long in front of the TV talking, and every hour or couple of hours I would notice the candles' reflections on the television screen (the tv was off, by the way). And my friend was right, there WOULD be a different amount of reflections in the screen every time I looked.Then, at around 6 in the morning, maybe earlier, I looked up and saw that there were NO reflections on the TV screen. All of the candles were still burning bright, nothing had been touched or moved in any way. I was sitting right there and would have seen it if there had. I guess to tease my friend or sort of give her a hard time about her powers I said, Look! Now there's no reflections in the TV. (and then to the TV) Oh, please, why can't we have just one reflection?! and there, right before my eyes as I looked at it, a tiny little candle reflection faded onto the screen. Just one.I looked at my friend and she just smiled and said I knew that would happen. And suddenly, I became a believer.I don't know what it all means or why it happened and I would bet my life that I didn't halluinate it, that I really saw something real. I wonder if anyon'es ever had similar experiences with ghost CANDLE REFLECTIONS, and haunted televisions?
