I loved CLS, but I’m glad I was already a 3L when this happened. And when they caught the guy, he was in the middle of a daytime burglary (no one home) in another borough - when cops were combing the city for him. For some reason I found the fact that he would be so brazen, less than a fortnight after he did that…

I feel so old. Raise your hand if you were watching season 3 when Keith was kicked off for pattern books!

Even if your aunt was fucking with your mom and it was a little living girl who got murdered by her father, Jeeeeesus that is scary enough for me.

Funny thing re: calling your husband on his cell because you were too scared to get out of bed - last year, after reading all the stories on the “scary stories” post, I texted my husband to make him come to bed because I was too creeped out to sleep, move, or speak. :)

This story is great, especially because even relatively normal undergrads can be creepy to grad students in my experience. I’m also commenting because, if this is legit, I’m hoping you’ll manage to use something to cover yourself in that photo and post it.

This is one of the stories that stuck with me! Still glad you’re okay, and presumably have not seen this creeper on the news.

This reminds me of a story told to me by a woman I work with. This woman is tiny - maaaybe 5 feet tall, but likely a little under - but has also clearly spent a lifetime making sure she can defend herself in other ways. She told me that when she was in her late teens/early 20s, she was walking back to get parents’…

1) My “I know you’re gonna get this fifty times” was to imply it was a lame joke. I did not missed the point of a rehashed creepypasta.

I said in another comment, it’s because you know how you would feel if you were a trapped animal. Outside, rodents are generally okay (even rats, and I live in DC). Inside, it’s panic, teeth, claws, and rabies in one little bundle.

When you know it’s a trapped animal all you can see is harbinger of rabies and possible face-gnawing. I mean, hell, I always liked squirrels. I fucking chattered at squirrels when I was in college and they followed me. When I was in London the first time, I went to St. James park next to Buckingham Palace, and…

Yep. One of my top three favorites, together with “LOOK AT ME” and the one where the neighbor’s son had tried to kill his father while the writer was at her aunt’s house and the writer saw the son at the end of their driveway (I don’t think that one made it out of the comments for being a little late or something, so…

(I know you’re gonna get this fifty times but - ) OH THANK GOD, does that mean Trump’s not president?

That squirrel (or other animal) scratching will drive you insane. I had squirrels in a ceiling and they were wily fuckers. Any we had exterminators and whatnot out to the house, and they couldn’t find any direct evidence, and the poisons/traps/barriers didn’t work. I had horrible nightmares all the time about being…

My dad has always said that was the scariest book he ever read, so damn, kudos.

What sucks is I knew guys in college whom I could totally imagine pulling that as a prank (especially if drunk), and while it would be terrifying any time, it being right after that movie means it nearly killed you. (It would have scared the shit out of me. The guy would be lucky if I didn’t run him over.)

This is creepy as hell. Reminds me of the story someone told a few years back about her dad’s teenage encounter with John Wayne Gacy.

I think to Twitter, probably only money (or the appearance of money) has rights. And they only way they can try to convince their investors that Twitter is not an endless money pit is to show lots of activity. So things like Trump, Nazis, porn - the people who are heavy users, have heavy followers, stir up a lot of…

That was probably troop- or council-specific, but atheists are still explicitly barred from the BSA. (Most comprehensive articles about it are behind a paywall, but this piece references it (on phone, can’t do a proper link): https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/10211808)

The fucked-up State of Georgia flag that I had to look at for the entirety of my elementary school education.

This is just turning into straight-up confession time. I love this thread.
