Freaky Shit, found something in the air duct of my apt
 

Ok... not sure I believe in ghosts but everyone bitches that I have one even though I've never seen much, just got the chills a few times and my cat jumps in the air and does a 360 and wont go in the bedroom... (again, never put much thought into it).... and then last night.....

Most likely unrelated.... my BF (another one of those ppl that thinks I have a spirit trapped here.) unscrewed my air vents and we found a really fucked up looking little clay vile with a cork, nothing in it, but a really funky design on it and it was jammed wayyyy down in the air duct in the BR. (and you can tell the duct vents haven't been removed in a long time because it ripped about 10 layers of paint off with it when he removed it.

Now, I'm all curious... what would you do? Just throw it out or find out what the design means?

Have you pissed off any Haitians lately? That would freak me out.

well the first thing you do is take a pic of it...how are you gonna come in here with a story and no pic?

lol. No, I haven't pissed anyone off. I am a total nerd, all I do is work and keep to myself. The only person I spend time with is my bf and his family and you can tell that little clay vile has been in there a long time (I'm assuming so). It's thin, about 3 inches tall and has a cork... when he uncorked it I THOUGHT I saw powder fly out of it, but then we tried tapping it out and there was NOTHING that came out so I was probablly seeing shit because I can't see well in the dark and it was really dark in here when he pulled it out. (I never expected him to find anything, I was just indulging his curious side when he decided to look in all my air ducts).

The word is VIAL.

Good Point, my digital cam was stolen but my phone can take shitty pics. I just need to borrow someones server to upload it. Can I email the photos to anyone here off my phone to put up here? But in the meantime, the bottom looks like a bunch of child sized bloody finger prints but it is NOT blood, it's paint. Just off-shaped round blobs around the bottom (five of them, all a little different). Again, a design, NOT actual bloody finger prints.

email it to howardugrad AT yahoo DOT com. I'll post it.

either a haitian voodoo curse or the cremated remains of a black magician serial killer - either way you're fucked.

Sent, you'll see it coming from my cell ph. number. The lighter in the photo is just for size reference.

Thank You BVF!


It was about 2 feet back in the A/C duct.. wrapped in a towel. Any thoughts?

I would be freaked but I would have to try and find out what the origins are.

It could turn out to be a kids art project that they hid in the air duct years ago. I love my kids but some of the "presents" they made me when they were younger looked pretty damn strange.

It is a Mesopotamian "houlpar". You need to buy a fresh fish with a head, take it home and shake the fish's head in the room where you found the houlpar for about 10 minutes.

Thought about that, but I have really high ceilings and the duct is about 10 feet up. I can't even reach it on a tall chair... my BF could hardly reach it and he's 6'3'' (standing on a chair too).

Are you serious? Is it some kind of curse that we found it or something? :helpme

That looks like a container used by the matico indians

Often the men of the tribe went on hunting trips that lasted for weeks

They deposited their semen in them before leaving so the women could

then every day taste a little of their men.

They have also been known to rub the semen in to their nostrils

a hulpar is a gateway between our world and the undead, they mean you no harm, u need to put it back where it was and do the fish thing...

Drugs !
 

You obviously are on drugs... we're the people who lived in the flat before Mexican, it's clearly a Ju Ja... a small vesile to catch the sole of a loved one. They would put it over the mouth of a loved one on their death bed, so when they passed their soul would be caught in the jar... they would quickly put the cork in to keep the spirit indisde the Ju Ja...

They would then put it someone in the house, usually behind a wall... but can see how the duct would work too... keeping the spirit in the house would act as protection against evil and also keep the loved one near by, with the belief they would visit them in their dreams...

It's very unusual to leave a Ju Ja in a house when they leave, it is said to do so would result in the new people seeing the spirit in their dreams... have you had any dreams with strong characters in them that you dont know, probably of mexican decent ?

There are certain paranormal dangers, as the spirit can misbehave if they dont know the people in the house... not exactly a polteigeist... but can still be worrying.

you know not what you speak of...

Wtf
 

Man I watched every episode of Supernatural and Ghost Whisper I will have you know... beware the Ju Ja

Both me and Andrew have really fucked up dreams when we stay here (we spend most of the time at his place where it doesn't happen). But like I said, I never believed in that crap but some weird stuff has happened and I have written it off until now.

We uncorked it, super, I just fucked up someone's spirit?

FIRST THING YOU DO... is Kill a Chicken.... drain all of its blood into a plastic bag.... then pluck it ..skin it... and make a fire ...then hang the chicken with its ass facing the fire... and start dancing and singing in a counter-clockwise motion around the fire until the chicken is roasted.... then stop, grab the burned chicken and sit down in front of the TV to watch Oprah ...eat the chicken while doing so and it will all go away right after that....

BTW.. make sure the chicken is alive before you kill it..otherwise the ritual looses its powers and you might end up with a pissed off ghost.... seriously... you would be surprised how many actually overlook this lil detail....

yes I can see that working

I was about to give similar advice

I am not killing a live chicken asshat. Seriously, WTF am I supposed to do with this thing? Just put it back and do the fish thing? I know other cultures have strong beliefs in stuff I may not so I'd rather just make right whatever I made wrong because some strange crap has been happening since I moved in here not so long ago. One REALLY strange thing is that my noise maker (those sleep machines that make rain, storm, ocean noises, etc) turns itself on CONSTANTLY to the one I can't stand (the ocean sound). That is just one of many examples and then the cat that freaks out and jumps in the air all the time when she is near the BR.

too bad their wasn't a genie inside.

Although I'm not particularly superstitious, why'd ya do that?

Suppose the contents were toxic or poisonous? I would've just thrown it away.

lolol i was thinkin same thing

Curiosity.... He's the one that uncorked it.... He's also the one that totally believes in spirits and ghosts, etc.... Whats really fucked up is I woke up this morning and I've been fighting the flu but my throat hurt so bad I couldnt swallow my own spit... Coincidence? Whatever it is, I'm not terribly thrilled he found this hular or ju ja or whatever it is and just want to do what I need to to get it back to normal in here. Since he uncorked it, my cat freaked the fuck out and won't come back in the apartment.

:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I told you it is a cum jar, now chill

I'm more disturbed that someone would spend money on a Cubs lighter!




;)

Hmmm
 

Have you not got a supernatural store nearby you can take it to, to find out exactly what it is ? You know like the one Buffy used to work in ? local University teacher who specialises on the supernatural maybe... or seeing your near Miami dont they always have them Cajun Witch Doctors near by... ? I watch too much Dexter I guess...

haha, hey girl! I found that when I was in Chicago last month. No money spent. lol

:winkwink::thumbsup

take it to a local magic shop....they exist, you just gotta be looking for em :winkwink:

Safest thing to do is pack up and move to another state.

This thread is hilarious :1orglaugh
