One of the best this year. The lack of resolution makes it all the more creepy.

The Voice from the Water

This story is from my sister. I’ve known about it since it happened, and finally got her to write it out in all its glory, so I can share.

When I had just turned 6 years old, my family moved from our home town to a larger suburb in a state several hours away. I was still 5 when my parents took me with them to look at the house they would end up buying, and while we were walking through, the little girl whose parents were selling the house invited me to…

Not sure how scary this is, but here goes - a psychic cat lady story:

Jeeezus

*whispers in mic* “It’s super fucking liminal.”

My freshman dorm was co-ed — boys and girls divided into parallel halls on each floor, split by a bank of elevators in the middle. On my floor, the elevators were rumored to be haunted by a student who struggled with depression and died in his room about 15 years earlier. The circumstances were unclear but part of the…

This is my first time posting because until recently I’ve never had anything that spooky happen, but this event floats back to my brain every so often and I still have no idea what the fuck this was about.

I was raised kinda New Agey/Wiccan, so I usually bless and protect a space when I move into it. The house I got last year, though, had such good vibes already that I kept putting it off. It just felt so warm and bright and cozy, and I moved in in spring, and so I didn’t do anything heavy-duty. I should have, though,…

I occasionally get sleep paralysis which is pretty awful in its own right. Its not recurring and its not a consistent figure or entity, I usually just chalk it up to whatever I ate or watched.

One of the most vivid was that I dreamt I was on a tour of an old building (its the US, so 1800s old) with a group of other…

When I was in fourth grade, my mom and I moved a few hours away to live with my grandma. I was an only child and painfully shy; all my friends had been my friends since forever, and I had no idea how to talk to these new kids at school.

A few years ago, I was laying in my bed one morning. I could tell my twins and my son were asleep because the hallway was dark so I knew no one had opened their bedroom door to come out. As I was laying down, I felt the bed depress from the foot of the bed and it continued towards the head of the bed. No big deal, I…

From the article, it seems like the writer may not have known “At Seventeen” is a real song - but it might just have been a confusing paragraph.

I’m not even going to watch this. I’m just going to look away. It neither merits nor requires my attention. Thank you for telling me about it, Rich. I appreciate the warning.

I was thinking on my way to work today that the Weinstein case ended sort of how we wanted, but will the new narrative be “Now that MeToo has been solved...”

even though I’ve been the only minority on a bike in more classes than I care to count

Why wear suits 2 sizes too big or ties 4 inches too long? The man didn’t even know how to properly wear a waistcoat when he met the Queen. The oversized suits “make him look slimmer” and the ties “taller.” I’m sure he believes the orange makes him look healthier. There is literally no rationale to this man’s behavior.…

I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).

As Chris Rock said “there are black people who aren’t even born yet who won’t vote for him.”
