“He feels that both his parents are being exploited and being presented in a false, simplistic way to make money.”

“And the one and only time that he did try to kiss me, I said, ‘No. Bill, you’re my friend.’ He goes, ‘You’re right. Good night.’

Well disclaimer - I’ve only read this book. I understand that her first book was about coming back from addiction to become a wife and mother of 3 children. Her second book was about the revelation that her husband had cheated on her and how they rebuilt their marriage and came back from that. This one is about how…

Didn’t asap rocky date one of the Jenners? That would be a deal-breaker for me if I were a high-voltage celeb.

Lovely body..but why??

Shadow Man

The Witches of Eastwick was great! I am old enough to remember when it came out haha. Also, I feel like Cher could probably give a fuck about this and would likely be the first to cop to having a fling with some director. It’s not possible to slut shame Cher, basically. Also, this was certainly how the world of…

This happened in November last year. The only positive I have been able to take away from it is that I finally have something for this story contest, because I definitely cannot afford to move!

No Running (in the Hall)

When I came home for the summer after my freshman year of college, I got a summer job organizing the new home of an elderly woman who was a friend of the family. She was very wealthy, and had downsized from a large house to an...honestly still pretty big house, but there was an enormous basement full of old gowns,…

When I was 20, I was home on summer break from college. It was a really nice day and I was by myself in my parents’ little Toyota Yaris on the 15 minute drive home from the gym around 1 pm. There’s this stretch of highway that is straight-as-can-be, and I remembered something that I just HAD to tell my friend, and…

My mother told me last night that I need to tell you a “sweet” ghost story to counter the one above. I don’t think it’s particularly malevolent, but, hey ho. She’s the spiritual one in my family and she thinks I should cleanse the air. So, I’m going to tell you all a wee tale that her mother told her, many many years…

Don’t Test the Ouija Board

Dear folks that are worried their comments will never be seen, I am reading them and I am sure folks like me are reading them too. I truly appreciate all of your stories and they genuinely scare me. Your efforts are not for nothing, YOUR RANDOM STORIES ARE MY FAVOURITE. Thank you! Keep it up. With much love, me. And…

I grew up in a small town and as a teenager around the age of 16. I used to do a lot of housesitting and petsitting for people at the small neighborhood church I attended. It was an easy way to get money AND get out of the house for a bit. The couple I was housesitting for this night, was a bit odd but nice enough;…

My Uncle Billy was the black sheep of the family. He was my mother’s older brother, who joined the military in the early 1990s and saw combat in the first Gulf War, but he didn’t come entirely back. My mom said he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and something called gulf war syndrome. My father said he…

This is an experience my mother had, long before I was born.

Shadow

Perhaps she was only trying to warn me

When I was in my second year of university I went to stay for the Easter holidays with my parents in the sleepy village they used to live on in the middle of Wiltshire. On Easter Sunday I gave the reading at the little village church and went home. When I checked my phone, a boy…

Mine’s short and sweet. Not so much a ghost, as a visitation.

Mom was always a birdwatcher and particularly loved cardinals. She would repeat as often as she could that they mated for life. We had a series of them nest in the forsythia bush outside our porch and watched several generations of babies raised while I was…
