When In New Orleans

Full disclosure / Trigger Warning: This post could be triggering for people who have experienced abuse.

This story comes from my dad, who is basically the absolute coolest. He spent his 20s traveling all over the world. He would live in a place for a while, crashing wherever and working odd jobs, then he’d move on to a new city, or state or country. He has truly incredible stories and he loves to tell them. But he has…

“Without a Whisper”

To echo your second story, after we put our 19 year old cat to sleep both my husband and I swore we were still seeing her. One time I was in the kitchen and she was underfoot (I mean I SAW her) and I had to do a little weird hop and I ended up tripping. My husband asks me what happened and I said, “Oh, I was trying to…

“What the fuck was that?”

I had to make a burner for this so it’ll prob stay in the greys.

When I was a kid, like under 3, so this would have been in the 1960s-my parents lived in a small jersey shore town. There were six houses, all connected by paths into a central courtyard. A few houses down was a house the neighborhood kids had determined was a scary house. There wasn’t anything outwardly scary, it was…

I wish I had a ghost story because I love them (although I’m too much of a scaredy cat to seek anything like that out). But this is the most terrifying thing that ever happened to me.

Our pet dog passed away unexpectedly late last year. We grieved and were despondent for months. It literally felt like there was a gray pall over us.

Years ago, when I was a young adult, I lived in a rural area outside of a small town. To get to my house, I had to drive through a section of a wooded area. Not quite big enough to be a forest, and if you walked enough in one direction or another, you’d hit cattle pastures and farmland.

This happened pretty recently. I found an old neighbor on the street one day with a bloody face. He had fallen over while walking his dog and couldn’t get up. I called 911 and hung around to see if he got admitted to the hospital, offering to keep his dog if so. He didn’t but I checked on him a few days later, worried…

This is the scariest story I know.

I grew up in a small town in North Florida. It is small with a picture perfect Main Street, beautiful beaches untouched by tourism, everyone knows each other kind of town. When my parents moved to town, we would drive by this Victorian style house (it wasn’t new built in the early 1990s) that we loved. It has a what I…

I post every year cause I’ve lived quite the haunted life. Last year I posted about phantom smells and wanted to do an update on that, briefly.

My stepmum is pretty sensitive to the other side, she’ll get a look on her face in the middle of a conversation and eerily look past you, and you’ll know that she is seeing a ghostie. She’s never scared and will often just tell them to move along. This spookiness was seemingly inherited by my oldest niece, who is now…

I must confess up front this is not particularly scary - but it is definitely ghostly. It just involves my father - the sweetest man ever - so how scary is that?! Lol. I grew up in the country on a farm with horses. Since we were so remote, and the driveway to my childhood home so long, my parents had installed a…

I’ve grown up with ghosts and spirits being real, and a good grounding in how to handle them, and I’m afraid there’s only two times I’ve really been scared in that context – one a very weird encounter with a partial thing when I was a kid that’s not lending itself to a telling, the other a location near my family’s…

This happened on Halloween night 6 years ago. I had been out partying with my friends for hours, so needless to say I was very drunk, and very tired of being in my makeup and heels. I was a student back then, and had no money to take a cab, so I left the bar and ran to catch the last subway (just before 2am). There…
