i was looking for Tales from the Crypt gifs, so something came up

When I was a teenager, my grandfather (my mom's dad) started suffering from dementia and came to live at our house for a few years. It was a nice time being with him, but it was also sad, watching him decline. The dementia went mostly as expected; strangely misplaced items, general confusion. But there was one really…

I've a similar story to your dad. Going to try and not out myself/town but it may be squinky.

Well, functional is a matter of opinion ;)

noo, you're making it worse! How did you grow up to be a functional human after a childhood of that? I think I would still be crying.

It is very sweet. My mom and I have had an unusually strong connection my whole life. She says she knew she was pregnant when I came to her in a dream and told her "I'm your daughter. I know you aren't ready for me, but this is our time". We have our problems, but the feeling that for whatever reason we're supposed to…

Mostly a feeling. I don't really know how to describe it, and any time I try it sounds more bonkers than the story itself. It was like the girl was a projection on the surface of something larger. Or like the glowing bulb of an angler fish. I think one of the reasons my friends saw through it more easily than I did is…

I'm never sleeping again ya bitch.

"he came only up to a scratch and sniff pickle" god bless this line because it made me smile and this story is very creepy. I had nightmares after my pappy died about him visiting, he was about 6'6" so this story struck a chord with me.

When I was about ten, I finally told my mom about a recurring nightmare I'd been having for as long as I could remember. In the dream I knew I was very, very young. I was sitting in the grass next to a lake with my (dream)mother. Dream Mother wore an old-looking white dress and was focused on something in her lap. I…

I am now 32 years old and my 30 year old brother and I still do not go up there. I ant to believe it's not true, but it felt real and we all experienced things. The goat legs were brown and not white or gray, btw. DETAILS.

The upper back half of my parents house is haunted. Or posessed. I don't know, but it's wrong up there. When you go upstairs and open the door, there's a large room with a walk in closet, about 700sf. There's a hallway to the right with a little bathroom, and then a door that leads to the other half of the upstairs,…

My fiance and I met in the Washington DC area and after being together for about a year, we moved from the city to the nearby suburb of Rockville, MD.

My grandfather (Papaw) died in a car accident when I was still an infant. Naturally, my mother - always a Daddy's girl - tried to insure that I had some idea and concept of him growing up. We had dozens of photos of Papaw and my grandmother around our home, and I spent my very early childhood with a solid idea of what…

So I'm currently pregnant and I have these very very vivid dreams, doctor says hormones. So one of these nights I dreamt I was wondering about my house and in come my husband, his mother and sister, and this little old lady. They all look a bit strange, younger (and thiner, which was what struck me). As I look around,…

I have been re-reading all the old stories today in anticipation of this thread! This year I actually have one to contribute.

This didn't happen to me, but to my cousin's ex-husband, and the aftermath was seen by quite a few people, including my mom/uncles. If you live somewhere rural, like me, you know there's a back road to almost everywhere. A house every few miles, no lights, etc. One night, my cousin's husband was driving down one of…

This isn't that scary, it's a bit sad even. But it is my story, for real!

Hey, think last year's winner might get a follow? It'd be nice not to wallow in the grays.

me too :))))) grab some wine :)
