Default wont start

i dont know if you can help but i have a 98 z28 with a factory acdelco battery. the cables keep coming loose from the battery and i have to tighten them every couple of day to keep a connection. and tonight i found another problem i went to go start my car and the radio, lights, fuel pump, ect came on like normal but when i went to start it nothing happened. it wouldent turn over nothing. i left it alone for about 5 min and it started right up wondering if anyone else had a similer problem. ( i think the car might be possesed)
last monday on my way to school i was going down the interstate and it complety shut off at 70mph, i pulled off and it again started right up with no problem. any help would be appreciated

I'm not sure why they would keep coming loose if you keep tightening them back up but all the problems you are describing seem like a loose cable problem. Are the threads on the bolts stripped or something?

When it shut off on the highway did the security light come on?
