my nightmare...

Everybody has nightmares right...?? Not always...but sometimes....
I have one that has been haunting me since last 3 years...yeah I know...that long.....
Even when I am dreaming about a nice thing like lets say cupcakes or vineyards or Matt Damon...this image that I have in my mind about my nightmare, just comes in the nice dream for like a second and then goes away...but it always comes....and sometimes the entire dream is about the image-which makes it into a nightmare.....

I am talking about the Zodiac Serial Killer. He operated in North California,USA, in the late 1960's and early 1970's. 

A movie was made on a book written about him. The movie's name is Zodiac. And since the time I have seen this film, I can't stop thinking of what would happen if I someday run into the ZODIAC!!!!

It scares the shit out of me! As amazingly stupid as I am, I went online and searched as much as I could about this man after seeing the film.....It didn't  scare me then, it's just, later, that he just got fixed in my mind....and started haunting me!

I usually dream about 2 of his murders that I call my "favourites" ....

1.Modesto attack

On the night of March 22, 1970, Kathleen Johns was driving from San Bernardino to Petaluma to visit her mother. She was seven months pregnant and had her 10-month-old daughter beside her.While heading west on Highway 132 near Modesto, a car behind her began honking and flashing its lights. She pulled off the road and stopped. The man in the car parked behind her and stated that her right rear tire was wobbling, and offered to tighten the lugs. After finishing his work, the man drove off; yet when Johns pulled forward to reenter the highway the wheel almost immediately came off of the car. The man returned, offering to drive her to the nearest gas station for help. She and her daughter climbed into his car. During the ride the car passed several service stations but the man did not stop. For about 90 minutes he drove back and forth around the backroads near Tracy. When Johns asked why he was not stopping, he would change the subject. When the driver finally stopped at an intersection, the man told Johns that he was going to kill her and then throw the baby out after her.Johns jumped out with her daughter and hid in a field. The driver then closed the car door and drove off. Johns hitched a ride to the police station in Patterson.

When you see this scene in the movie, you will literally be shaking inside your blanket....that's how I was....
2.Lake Herman Road attackThe first murders widely attributed to the Zodiac Killer were the shootings of high school students Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday on December 20, 1968, on Lake Herman Road, just inside Benecia city limits.
The couple was on their first date and planned to attend a Christmas concert at Hogan High about three blocks from Jensen's home. The couple, instead, visited a friend before stopping at a local restaurant, and then driving out on Lake Herman Road. At about 10:15 p.m., Faraday parked his mother's Rambler in a gravel turnout, which was a well-known lover's lane.
Shortly after 11:00 p.m., their bodies were found by Stella Borges, who lived nearby. The Solano County Sheriff's Department investigated the crime but no leads developed.
Utilizing available forensic data, Robert Graysmith postulated that another car pulled into the turnout, just prior to 11:00 and parked beside the couple. The killer apparently exited the second car and walked toward the Rambler, possibly ordering the couple out of the Rambler. Jensen appeared to have exited the car first, yet when Faraday was halfway out, the killer apparently shot Faraday in the head. Fleeing from the killer, Jensen was gunned down twenty-eight feet from the car with five shots through her back. The killer then drove off.

These 2 incidents haunt me a lot.....

The image that I was earlier talking about is the image of the zodiac that I saw on the internet....I at times imagine myself as the above mentioned victims....and it's those scenes that I play in my mind that scare me...!!!

Deep huh?? 

anyway...thought I'd mention him 'cause it's been haunting me again since last few days..!..haha...

ciao! and sleepwell!!!
