Earlier this afternoon I saw that this thread had been updated “1 minute ago”, but at the time yours was the latest at 3 days old. Either some posts were pruned or there’s voodoo afoot!

I got up at 4:30am today. I know what you mean.
“You aren’t the only one in here, that has access to food. Someone else could have left out food after Midnight.”

So, the ghosts fed the voodoo gremlins? Makes total sense!

No, but my dad used to always blame them for why his carburetor was out of adjustment a very long time ago.

Ah, I thought there was going to be a Brothers Grimm type tale about Gremlins. I had a thick book written by them that I read as a child. It’s not exactly what people today would consider kid friendly, but I loved the stories.

“Their original stories were ALL very dark. They were never intended for children, but they were rewritten to be put in a book of Children’s Stories. They are actually a collection of Folk Stories, that the Brothers collected during their travels.”

Hanzel and Gretel is one that I can recall. I went from there to The Odyssey and then moved on to years of working my way through the Steven King books, including the Bachman books. My whole family is from Maine, and my grandmother even sold him a set of tires back in the early 80’s. She lived in Old Town which is just outside of Bangor. He tends to ramble, but I enjoy the story when it all comes together. 
I even got to see him at an AC/DC concert in Portland riding on Angus’ shoulders when they wrote the soundtrack for the movie Maximum Overdrive. The 80’s were a lot of fun🙂

There’s a passage in The Stand that took place at an abandoned ball field on the corner of route 4 and route 9 that I remember reading. The fun part is that my dad had our house built in 77’ on a lot that used to be a ball field on that same corner, and I was living there when I read it at the time. I remember bringing the book to my mom and saying, “Read this paragraph, and tell me if this is where we are right now.”
