Strange stories (3)
Back years ago in the 70s, I had joined the armed forces and did my basic training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. The barricks
were shaped like the letter H. The two long lines was were the beds were, except for the very ends of them, those were the
smokers. That's the only place in the barricks were you were allowed to smoke. They had couches, chairs, pop machine, a phone, and a TV.
One night after dinner, we had all gathered up in the smoker to get ready to watch a special. The first time Alice Coopers Welcome to my Nightmare was to be aired. Just 15 minutes before the special had started, this odd looking green light came out of the wall plug where the TV was plugged into, it ran across the top of the TV and into another plug on the other side of the TV. The TV itself stopped working, so ofcourse we missed the special. The next day an electrician came in to inspect the plugs, but said he couldn't find anything wrong with either the plugs, or the powerlines.
The TV never worked after that.
Explain that
..and for the record, Yes this IS a true story
