My Experience
When I first saw The Ring, I had never been scared by movie this badly since I was a child watching Exorcist, Damien Omen, etc... and my girlfriend's cousin wanted to see it, so I burned her a copy and wrote only COPY on the CD-R. Whether she saw it or not I never found out, but that was 2 years ago.
Several months ago... I saw the original Ringu, Ringu 2, Ringu 0. I saw them all one after another when i was home sick, and my life was never the same. With each day that passed I felt something closing in. I became profoundly driven creatively, writing, poems, and painting artwork, just driven to escape my fear the only way I knew how... work through it artistically. On my website you can see some of the works I created during that time... poems, a comic strip I even won in a Sadako art contest at the time, and some wallpapers I still cannot even bear to look at even though I made them myself! It sounds crazy but that's not the end of it.
While watching Ring 0 I believe it was, or Rasen, I forget now, I felt a presence behind me, and looked of course no one was there. I was the only person in the house, and the cat was sleeping, dogs sleeping soundly downstairs.
I sat back down at my computer typing, and suddenly felt a presence behind me so powerful it was just like feeling a real person coming up behind you, but knowing no one is there, after that experience nothing was the same.
I feel the presence all the time now as if she could drop a hand on my shoulder at any moment. Soon after this my monitor gained a new anomaly, a flicker on the top half of the screen, as if it were shorting out a gauss circuit, which it wasn't when I had it checked nothing was technically wrong with the monitor and it only happens in this room. I checked the floatingpoints on the outlets, all normal, then just as quickly as it started it went away.
I don't know why she came, or why she left, or if she has left, or if she was ever there at all, but I can tell you this... "There are more things in heaven than are dreamed of in your philosophy," and these days, when I feel the presence, and look toward my sleeping cat, her ears prick up to feel such intent, but she lays silently sleeping, and if it doesn't bother her, then I guess I'm okay too... for now.
