Do you guys believe in fate and destiny and all that stuff?

What about fortune tellers? Can they tell your fortune and see into the future?

How about things like... astrology and whether your sign determines what your personality is like etc.

Has anyone here experienced a "freaky" experience?

I often tell the story of my haunted room at Leaders school. we stayed in Ellis Hall at Illinois college at Jacksonville. Well I had the pleasure of staying in room 303 on the 3rd floor. I got very sick my 2nd day there and remained sick for about 2 days. I was throwing up and basically layed in bed all day. Luckily my friends kept me company. Well in the room was a rocking chair 2 foldout beds & 2 closets with no doors. In the window there was something etched but I couldnt read what it said.

One night I woke up to roll over and go to the bathroom when I saw someone standing in my closet. at 1st I thought it was my roommate trying to be funny...but I looked over to realize she was in bed asleep...so I shreeked...and she woke up, saw what I was screaming at..and screamed too. then the figure just vanished. After that we were never in the room alone.

The rocking chair also never really stopped moving. And things would vanish and reappear right where they were left. We all got nametag buttons the 1st day. They were supposed to be in our top drawer. Mine never was. So I finally had to get a new one, no big deal. Well the day I was packing to leave I found the button...in the drawer where it was supposed to be and never was. We would lock the door at night to wake up in the morning finding it standing wide open. Or sometimes we would get locked out, when neither of us locked the door to begin with. It as also slightly cold in the room...even thought it was july on the 3rd floor of a building w. no air conditioning.

Later I was looking up hauntings by state and came across this:

and one that site I found this:

A room that is located on the third floor of Illinois College’s Ellis Hall is also rumored to be infested with ghosts. According to reports, no one lives there is they don’t have to. Rumor has it that a girl hanged herself in the closet there around 1986 after not getting a bid from a Literary Society. It is said that doors open and close on there own here, appliances and radios turn on and off and that windows have a habit of going up and down under their own power. Or at least that's one version of the story....

Other students and alumni of Illinois College have contacted me to say that the girl who haunts room 303 was actually a young woman named "Gail", who died of natural causes in this room. Apparently, her parents were aware that she was terminally ill when she went to school but as attending college had always been her dream, they allowed her to go anyway. She died while living in Ellis Hall and a small plaque is mounted on the door of the room in her memory. It is said that her ghost is a mischievous one, opening doors and hiding things. Local legend has it that third floor residents have often said that if they lose anything, they will ask Gail aloud to return it. The missing item is usually found a short time later.

A former student of the college, who lived for two years in Ellis Hall, wrote to tell me of experiences that she had while living below the "haunted room". She said that she often heard knocking sounds coming from the other side of the wall, even though there was nothing there. It was the outer wall of the building and there were no trees nearby.

I can honestly say I never saw I plaque on the door...but it was that room. And theres nothing not right about it.

No to all. I just believe in actions and consequences.

I'm a firm believer in fate. The way I see it, we were all born into the world with our lives already planned out for us, even so far as to determine our date of death.
