Her account is private, but I came across an anonymous story about him awhile back on a Black women’s gossip site (won’t name it here but if you know, you know lol) before all of this broke and it was horrific. I wonder if it’s the same woman. It’s crazy how many blind items were already circulating before anyone went…

Thank you. No sex, no affection, not even sleeping in the same bedroom, can’t get along, don’t see eye to eye on anything? Newsflash, OP: your marriage is already over. It’s been over for years. All that’s left are the formalities.

You are weird and nitpicky, that’s not an automatic implication at all.

First, the outdoor wood-burning furnace didn’t provide enough heat for the 1,700-square-foot house, then the dishwasher needed replacing, then diseased trees needed to be cut down, the land needed leveling and he had to build a proper driveway.

What in the Rain Man, Simple Jack, I Am Sam fuck is this?! This article is way more charitable than it needs to be. The trailer is BRUTALLY cringe, and all the top-rated comments are from autistic people calling this out as offensive stereotyping. The director also collaborated with Autism Speaks, which has an…

Many times in my life I have wished that there was a system to identify at risk youth to facilitate outreach programs and prevent lives of poverty, crime, and abuse

Thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills when I saw all the upvotes on this comment. COVID deaths in the US just surpassed 250k and millions of people and small businesses are on the brink of utter financial ruin. I am trying to imagine the type of person who considers being asked for gift ideas in 2020 as such…

Really? He’s rich. Biden is going to tax the rich. Trump is giving the rich tax cuts. It’s pretty straightforward.

He once came to my husband’s small European coastal home town with Peter Dinklage for a stag party. He was apparently super nice and hung out and took pictures with all the locals. Dinklage kept to himself and was kind of a jerk to people.

To be honest I’m impressed Weezy is coherent enough to know who the president is right now.

That’s a chicken or egg question. A lot of them were in academia already, and realized they’d get more jobs/scholarships/fellowships by pretending to be a marginalized person with an “interesting” background (i.e. the type of person departments looking to diversify their faculty want to hire) rather than trying to get…

I found the Devil in the coal mine story cool in an old-school, Southern Gothic kind of way. Do I actually believe the Devil was in a coal mine? Not at all lol. And yeah, the gas station one was the best. It also didn’t sound especially believable (and read like a few well-known urban legends I’ve heard) but I’m more…

Thank you! As a fan of ghost stories and Halloween in general, knowing I scared someone is the highest compliment I could receive :-)

That’s so interesting! As an amateur visual artist I actually considered doing a portrait of the sleep paralysis creature I saw, but decided against it. Even if it was just an unfortunately timed neural glitch, it’s not an image I want to give more energy or life to, you know?

I thought that too, but still a great story!

These were great! Loved the haunted school, the creepy gas station kid, and the old-timey coal miner vs. the Devil tale. The serial killer ones are always so sad and disturbing to me. Spooky ghosts and demons are fun, human evil is just depressing. There was a really sad one someone posted about finding a barrel on…

Thanks! I think most people’s deja vu came from reading it here last year, but I was aware it had popped up on other platforms since. But I promise you won’t find it anywhere online before I first posted it here on October 7, 2019. (I think I posted the experience to a few paranormal forums years ago when I was…

Lol! Well I’m guessing the average Jezebel reader doesn’t have your level of technical printmaking knowledge. And based on the signature and title, I gathered it was an amateur piece made for a family member. The only eerie thing about it for me was the striking visual similarity to my sleep paralysis, almost like the…

I also find it a bit silly for people to click on an anonymous Halloween story contest, read through all the stories and then go “boo, they’re all fake! Ghosts aren’t real.” Who cares? It’s a story contest, not a courtroom testimony. Mine happened to be real, but of course I’m open to mundane explanations. If you…

Lol right? As I said in the story, I’m superstitious but also pragmatic. I’m more than happy to tend a haunted artwork if it looks cute and goes with my decor.
