Do not miss this post from Zeyad.  There are some stories there that H. P. Lovecraft would be proud of.
Interesting detail about Zeyad's grandmother, who is a psychic.  It's ironic because Zeyad is a confirmed atheist/skeptic/rationalist.  Also the part about amulets is interesting:  makes me think of the Necronomicon, or the Key of Solomon.  There are amulets in the Jewish tradition too (cf. the Book of Raziel). 
I've never had a paranormal experience, but I don't discount them.  Anyway, I've got to stop here as it's almost Shabbat.  See you Saturday night.
