Wow! that was really interesting about the army barracks experience rosehannah... you've never told me about that before (I remember you telling me about Nana).

I've never seen a spirit but I am very open to the possibility. I do have feelings about certain places like you described RH but nothing remarkable has ever happened. I consider myself a very open person and intuitive and almost welcome contact but nothing...

Actually there was one thing; once I did a ouija board with about 5 other people (when I was 18, up in Lismore RH) and back then I was more skeptical so I said "ok, just so we don't try to control the glass let's only use the tips of our LITTLE fingers". So we did and after a while the glass started moving faster and faster. We all looked at each other in confusion wondering what was going on and then the glass took a sharp turn and we all lost contact. However the glass didn't go off the edge of the board as expected, it changed direction without any finger contact and came back into the middle of the board and stopped. Now that was pretty weird... it was the start of me re-thinking what I believed about the universe. I wasn't really scared, more fascinated. I stopped being an atheist that night. The next morning the owner of the pub (where I lived with the other people who I did the board with) told us to never do it again or else we would have to move out. She was a practicing Catholic. I respected her and so despite reeeeally wanting to do it again I never did. She told me that the pub (which was very old) had enough spiritual baggage and that it didn't need us inviting more, potentially bad, spirits into it.

That was the first an only contact with anything supernatural. I guess I feel a bit rejected by spirits now that I think about it LOL but I probably should be careful what I wish for! hehe
