What is the most unusual or the weirdest thing you can

There are a few things we have in our history.

On My Mother's side, My grandmother's middle name was Tatiana.  This was the middle name for the Czar's daughter Anastasia, and we believe (but can't confim) that we were related to her.  Our family has an old painting of someone we believe to be of Russian Aristocracy that we've had in our family for a long time.

My dad has some neat stories he used to tell us.  When he was a kid, he was walking home one late night.  It was very dark out side and he couldn't see very well.  He stopped walking suddenly and just stood still not knowing whyAfter a minute of standing still he noticed a live electric wire hanging from a pold about 6 inchec in front of his face.

Another time when he was in Turkey - He was in the Navy.  A terrorist jumpe on the bus he was riding on and sprayed the buss with a machine gun killing many of the people on the bus.

Also in Turkey, he was walking through a building when a live grenade came rolling down the stairs.  He ran outside and it went off.

My story - kind of neat, when I was in the Army, we were making a night attack on another company of soldiers during a field exercise.  As the aggressors in the the attack, we had to "capture the flag.  As we approached their position, someone blew our cover and instead of sneaking through we were forced to make a head on assault.  I was running toward cover foreward and as I ran I stopped dead and jumped straight up in the air.  As I came down I landed at an angle with my right hip slamming into the hitch from a Water Buffalo (Water trailer) I hadn't known was there.  My leg was caught in something and I was trapped in place bleeding like a stuck pig.

What stopped me was Concertina (Barbed wire that is rolled) wire strung around the site- I must have seen it at the last second and reacted to get away from it.  BTW, during a field exercise, concertina wire is supposed to be marked with a white tape so it can be seen - this wasn't done.  My hip was severely bruised and I was out of commision for a week.

A funny anecdote to this story is that earlier in the night we had attacked a different company also on an exercise.  In the dark, we got turned around and assaulted the wrong camp.  We ended up assaulting some Delta guys who were also on an FTX who were expecting an attack.  They rolled out of their tents and captured every one of us.  We all got a nice thumping from that one.

Not one of our better nights.

well let's see. We have a animal house. I've renamed all the animals. Mr. Tweet(parrot) . Ding Ding, and Buggy(dogs) . Squeaky, Little honey, and Big buddy(cats)

I am related to a 1800's lighthouse keeper in michigan, that is haunted.  Big Bay Lighthouse in Michigan. My nephew and I took a trip there(now a bed and  Breakfast). While in the tower, sitting next to the flashing beacon, at night, we sat for about a hour. Across the yard, to the stone wall overlooking the lake, walked a figure. When the figure got to the fence, it vanished. No kidding, as I am typing this, a chill runs down my spine. After seeing that, I believe in ghosts.

We are the hard-working, business owners of foxfire creek primitives. If you know anyone looking for high quality candles/gifts/teddy bears, search yahoo for our name, and take a look! all hand made.

I found out also that I am a descendant of the last empire of austria.
