I need a second costume for halloween, i'm at college and so we are going out both nights of the weekend. Im not sure if i will have time to go buy anything so can you think of a costume that, chances are, i already have in my closet (like something with just a black dress...etc.)
Thanks so much!! (link)

For things that you can make at home, I can only think of typical stuff. Witch, vampire, gypsy, rock star, rag doll, geek, hillbilly?. If you have a sense of humor you could where all black and tape question marks all over it, and say that you're still thinking about it. Or you could use a cardboard box for a couple of things: A self portrait, a t.v., a jack-in-the-box, or you could make it seem like your taking a shower with the box as a tub, and you could make the box look like a car.

This experience is new to me, therefore the reason I feel creeped out. I've been living in my current house (With my parents, I'm 16) for about a year and a half. When we moved in, I found out about the history of the house, seeing as it is renovated, it still has the original flooring on the first floor, original walls...and interesting characters that lived here. Regardless to the details of the previous inhabitants, this house has a feeling to it.
Recently, more specifically in my room and the hallway beside my room have been...well, excuse my French, but f**cking eerie. That is the best word I can come up with, maybe supernatural is better? Either way, my cat behaves weirdly in the hallway outside my room. He'll just hiss, whilst obviously staring at something in the air, which, apparently I am oblivious to. Okay, that I can handle. In my room, where three inhabitants have killed themselves, I get cold feelings. You may think I'm paranoid, and I was pretty sure I was myself, it seems near impossible now. It's not like I'm constantly thinking about it, I'll be sitting here, on my laptop, not thinking about this paranormal issue, with my window and door closed, and suddenly it'll be freezing. Few seconds later, it'll be back to normal. And no, I don't have some medical condition that gives me the shivers or whatnot.
Also, I see some strange lights, flashes. I don't know how to define it. Just the other day, I was lying on my bed, reading a book, home alone, so no sibling disturbance, and I just see a flash pass my eyes. It wasn't the street lights, or any cars. It was in broad daylight and so far, I have yet to come across something that could've caused this. Prior to last week, I've experienced this flashy encounter about four more times.
I'll just remind you that I'm not thinking about these occurrences. They are rarely on my mind, only after some thing's happened. I'm not exactly spiritual, but I do believe there's something out there. I'm not religious either.
I guess the worst part is the creaky floorboard happenings. At one part of my room, there is a floorboard or two that creak when you step on them. Directly, if you stand next to them, the floor doesn't make a sound. There have been countless times that the boards have creaked, in manner of somebody walking across them, but naturally, I'll be in the room alone. This is just disturbing at the moment of action, after that I just forget about it.
My dad admitted that he's had a few weird feelings in this house as well, thinking they are paranormal, but I did not know this until about a month ago when I asked him about his opinion on the house.
My main question is, and I just realized how long my introduction was, please accept my apologies, what do you think is going on?
Anything I should try or do?
Any specific reason why my cat would hiss at empty spaces, in one particular area of my house?
Whatever you have to say or propose, feel free, I'm not going give harsh ratings because I disagree. I'm open to anything :) (link)

Here are some rational explanations to what happened:
Creaking Floorboards- Old houses are known to creak, because changing temperatures cause the wood to swell or shrink.
Flashing- Even though it happens during broad daylight the sun could hit a car just right and bounce the light into your room, causing you to see a flash
Coldness- This is just an educated guess, but it seems likely to me. When we think of something eerie(consciously or subconsciously) we get goosebumps. Our brain automatically relates goosebumps to cold. So it sends a message of cold through your body, and you actually feel cold when it isn't. Like I said this is a guess, not fact.
Cat Hissing- As for the cat I don't really know. Could there have been some sort of bug like a fly in the air? Cats don't always look at what they're hissing at. So maybe it was hissing at someone in the hall? Maybe you? You could have even been behind it when it started to hiss, and it still might have been hissing at you.
