So I’m a dude, and a couple years back I went on a Tinder date with a woman who had just joined the app. She seemed normal at first, but after talking for an hour or two in person she started to give off that vibe that some isolated homeschooled kids have (not that it’s a bad thing), but basically like they haven’t…

Posted this last year way too late and it got lost:

“Ghosts in the Walls”

“December 1941"

LONG LIVE DOG

The Ghost Children

Almost 20 years ago my father suddenly passed away and I had several visits from what I believe to have been his spirit.

2nd story. My maternal gran had a three storey house, which is let out as apartments. This is in the 1950s, Wales. She stopped when they had an incident where a young woman, about to go into the forces committed a crime. She had given birth to a child, probably stillborn, and his the body in a linen hamper. The body…

Can I also plead that we don’t need to know the layout of your entire house to hear about something scary that happened inside? The long, overly detailed and confusing architectural descriptions are nearly a convention at this point.

They really are getting ridiculously long, huh?

A few years ago, I had a great job: It was my first office job, and it was in my field of study. I got along great with all my colleagues, we had a lot of fun together, and I learned so much working there.

Over twenty years ago, my then-boyfriend and I booked a 3 week trip to South Africa. His childhood best friend was marrying a South African girl, and we would fly into Johannesburg to attend their wedding and then rent a car to travel around the country.

I posted this last year hours before the deadline. Doubt many people saw it so I thought I’d post again. Hope that’s cool.

I thiiiink I told this story like ten years ago here, but it may have been somewhere else. Anyway, here it is again!!

I grew up with a ghost but I never told anyone until I was an adult and it turns out I wasn’t the only one who knew about it. My grandparent’s house was built in the late 1905 just outside of Boston and was owned briefly by an Irish family who used the attic to house recent immigrant families until they found their…

Shared this story last year but it got buried. It happened right around this time last year, so it was very fresh in my mind then.

In the late 90’s we moved into this waterfront property on an island directly across from Seattle. There was an ageing pier at the end of our road, and across from us was a retirement home which used to be a boarding school. The original dormitory building still stood, now abandoned, and next to that was an empty and…

And like I plead every year, folks, please please remember that longer doesn’t mean better. Brevity is the soul of dread. 

I HAVE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY SINCE IT WAS OCTOBER YESSSSSSSSSSSS

When I was a little girl, we lived in a busy little seaport town in New England. Most of the houses in my neighborhood were built in the late 18th and early 19th century and were owned by sea captains and the like. When I was in seventh grade I was friends with the weirdos and we enjoyed doing our own thing, which…
