One of the reasons for a lifetime interest in paranormal (this one is minor) is from when I went to Puerto Rico, when I was 4 with my parents...and again by myself when I was 39..
When I was 4 my family and I were visiting my Aunt in Puerto Rico during christmas.....we went to see Fort San Cruistobal. When we went down to the "dungeon" area - which was down through lit but dark tunnels - Even though I was 4 at the time, and 43 now - I still remember very very clearly, getting cold, getting goosbumps and getting very upset when we approached the "dungeon". The dungeon area had a smaller doorway-with a "cell bar door" leading into a very dark cell-tunnel area (very old, musty, cold, and creepy). My father had to carry me back out.
When I was 39...I went back to San Juan Puerto Rico - via Cruise - and my only mission for that Port Stop, was to go back to Fort San Cristobal by myself, and re-visit the "dungeon area". And-so I did....when I went through the whole fort (as much as they will let you see - very secretive there) It brought quite a mysterious & creepy feeling...and then
......I went down to the dungeon area - BY MYSELF - and went up to that same doorway....I stood there for a moment and then it happened again.....I got cold arms (and it is not really cold there-even down through the tunnels -it's very tropical) and I got goosebumps, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck....I tried to step through the doorway, and I didn't make it very far. If I wasn't alone down there, I may have made it further, but I doubt it (and this was broad daylight) my curiosity still keeps me wanting to go back.
That is a very old and mysterious place-and was quite a "battle" area..many bad things have happened there. And the caribbean islands tend to have quite a history, and many ghost stories "in-general"...Fort San Cristobal, and Fort San Lucas both (in San Juan Puerto Rico) definately have that "mysterious aptmosphere" about them.
