Here's another Hammer Film Productions moment that happened a foggy september evening about ten years ago, daydreaming of lolz at Roh=Mann=Ticks or something I was walking down stairs of a not so popular metro entrance. . There was nobody there except a woman, that I briefly saw before she turned the corner out of my sight like 70 meters ahead of me, into a very long concrete echo tunnel toward the ticket booth.
I heard her vocalize a small, tentative “haa?” then “"AIEEEEAAAaa!" VERY LOUDLY (then possibly a small “uh”)
Real life scream queen over there!!!! So surreal. I got the fears a bit but had to get spontaneously pumped and rush down the stairs, to the rescue of the damsel . I barely had the time to run two steps I saw someone walking up the other flight of stairs fast enough , 4 steps at a time) . He had a trench coat and a hat, was holding the collar to hide his face. I had a look at him, wondering what’s up, he might be the aggressor or something, and as I turned to look at him he turned a bit too, (I heard him vocalize a little “hoo?”) our eyes met and I saw his face. Ok so adrenalin was pumping in my system right, yet what I saw was so unexpected I frozed right there. Seeing my expression of shock and continuing his way upstairs I heard him vocalize a deeply , sort of haunting definitely heartbreaking small complaint “houuu” .
My reaction caused him this feeling, and I thought I was walking around so smart..I was definitely caught off guard or some… phhss. Then I thought of the damsel… I rushed down the stairs because I wanted to see her face; the face of someone much worse than me , since she’s the one who did the most damage to that poor man. I turn the corner and the tunnel was empty. I didn’t heard her run, I guess I should have heard the echo of her steps.. anyhoo there was nothing supernatural to that but I’m just saying. So that’s the end of that.

I've read that three times and I'm still no closer to understanding what happened.

I have learned that even if you have a pillow pulled all the way down to your head to cover your face, it can still hurt if someone punches you.

Was just going to post that.

Erm, the other excelsior thread is still going.

It's Louis.

I was trying to be tactful.

What's scour or pop mean?

There's a long and colourful history to that, but in layman's terms I'm the scourage of ILX and I demand poppage.
