Holy s#*t!

I just have to share this somewhat creepy event from last night. We were watching Mark Wahlberg's The Gambler with the missus and as usual, she fell asleep during. So I put that one on hold and moved to another room to watch Deliver Us From Evil from my laptop. I enjoyed the film, it was pretty decent horror/thriller. It was about one o'clock in the nighttime I was almost finished with the film. It was the exorcism scene when all of a sudden my wife was standing next to me. I almost crapped my pants. She had totally sneaked up on me in the dark. "Come to bed", she said.

But that's not the creepy thing. Once my wife had gone back to bed, I heard this loudish bang coming from my son's room. He's six, as is the daughter in the film. Of course it made me jump a little bit. I immediately went to check and it turned out that this large car painting hanging above his bed had fallen down, luckily missing my son. The painting is rather large, about 1m x 0,5m. Now, it wouldn't have killed my son but surely it would've hurt him. The painting has been there without a problem for good 3-4 years but decided to fall down just as I've finished this supernatural thriller. I'm not a religious person in the slightest, I consider myself somewhere in between an atheist and an agnostic. But this still made me a bit uneasy. I'm sure it was just a coincidence. Still, I didn't get much sleep after that. And I will not be hanging the painting above my son's bed again. :)
