you ever felt the goose flesh creep over you at some weird, mysterious sound?

Have you ever felt that someone was watching you-or have you ever seen a shadow move--when you knew perfectly well that no one was in the room except yourself? One does not have to be a coward to feel this fear-It is the fear of the unnatural, but a brave man is going to try to find the cause..
