Time to install a security camera and a new back door. Cause someone is watching you. 

THE SPOONS

Right? If you are going to spend the time typing it, I’m going to read it! And if I read it, you get a star!

But what was it not?!?!

I think the silence before something crazy happens is because we subconsciously start sensing tiny things before our conscious brains are aware of it, and our awareness dials into it, shutting out other normal noises we’d be aware of. I am constantly flinching right BEFORE hearing a sudden loud noise. Like my brain…

My grandma used to tell my sister and I that we had some kind of ability. She said mine was strongest and how she knew was that I cried out from the womb. Idk about that but I never felt like I had any kind of special abilities. Yeah, I’ve experienced strange things but I wouldn’t call that an ability.

Edit: The title would be “I kind of hope it was rats all along.”

It’s not too earth shattering: my great-grandmother could always tell when someone had died before you went to tell her (she didn’t have a phone for most of her life). There were also a few other innocuous “tricks” she could do (like levitate a north-facing window, don’t ask me, I never saw it). What’s creepy is that,…

When I was a senior in college I spent about 18 months living in a 100 year old house owned by a relative. It was right in the heart of the city, on a busy street that was one of the main north-south thoroughfares, in a neighborhood where there was only about six feet or so gap between the houses. 

God I’m so excited!! This is my superbowl.

In 2014 after Husband took the bar exam, we decided to do a road trip from Los Angeles up to Seattle, trying to stay on the coast as much as possible. It was an amazing trip. We mostly stayed in airbnb’s that were a little offbeat, a sailboat in someone’s backyard, a cabin at a trapeze school (scary also but not the…

Four years ago, my boyfriend and I took our first trip together to Victoria B.C. I’d been there before, though he hadn’t, and I was looking for something new to do. We stopped in one of the tourist info centers, and I found a pamphlet for the local ghost tours. Hell. Yes.

I will start this off by saying I do not believe in ghosts or spirits or the afterlife, but I experienced something a few years ago that spooked me to the core and still gives me the chills when I think about it today. I was living in an apartment in the Flatbush area and had been there for a few years with no issues…

“Trespassing”

“Station wagon Stalker”

I think I’ve told this one in the comments before, but I couldn’t find it. This isn’t really paranormal either, but it happened to me when I was a kid of 12 or 13.

I was walking back home from the park with my sister and my best friend one Saturday. The park we went to was a quarter to a half…

Scary Story / Sleep Deprivation season – wheee!

Trigger warning: violent rape.

I was in Guatemala on a class trip, and it was our last night in Antigua before we left the next morning back to the states. My class was staying in a hotel that was once a hospital during a war, years and years ago. I was sitting in the courtyard journalling alone late at night, everyone else had gone to bed.

I like spooky things, but I wouldn’t consider myself a big believer of the supernatural. In fact, if this hadn’t happened to me, I would easily write all ghost stories off to be just that - stories. But it did, and for 30 years it has lingered in the back of my mind “was that real?”.

Several years ago, my friend’s family was house hunting in the town where her mother, “V,” grew up. After many weeks of touring houses that just weren’t a fit, they viewed a newly listed property. It was a beautiful home, and large enough for their expanding family (the siblings were grown, or nearly grown, and…
