I did tell my aunt and she said it just popped into her head to give me a call and it probably was grandma telling her to call me. My aunt felt so badly thar our conversation led me to postpone the procedure and I was like, nope, I’m super grateful you called!

Those women, though! Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether (way underrated), Michelle Pfeiffer, Anne Hathaway, Zoe Kravitz, Adrienne Barbeau and Sanaa Lathan (animated)? Dream Team!

Shade aside I agree with Margot Robbie’s take on that, in an age where there are a million comic and superhero/villain movies and tv shows and we get one or two interesting female characters. Esp in that franchise which is known for different men’s takes on Batman and Joker but get only a few women’s takes on…

So I worked for police dispatch in a decently sized city (in the top 15 in the US) for over a decade. This story happened somewhere after 2004 but before 2008-ish, I think.

Oh wow, I had no idea people saw it! It got a small handful of stars, so I figured not many read it. I’m glad it spooked you!

Please delete your creative writing attempt. This is not the place. 

Random Handsome Ceramic Loving Man

I wish I knew haha. It’s very interesting. Maybe it’s just a time of heightened emotions, lack of sleep, stress ...

Well, I thought I had no stories to contribute this year until I took my dog for a walk in the woods behind our house yesterday. So I made a whole new burner account to tell this maybe not *scary* but definitely unsettling story. We've got a few miles of conservation land with trails that are well-used but generally…

I have a few stories about my mom in this thread, so I waited a bit to write my own. A simple but powerful occurrence.

This story is stellar. I hope it gets more love this year. I loved it then but had forgotten exactly what was so scary about the man. BACKWARDS FEET. YES. but actually NO. NO THANK YOU. This should be an anti-smoking psa. 

“The Beedi Man”

This has been happening occasionally for the last 5 or 6 years and I can’t really find a reason for it. Sometimes when I dream there is a reoccurring character in my dream. No matter what the dream is about, every month or two this young woman appears in my dream and the encounter with her is always the same. In the…

The Servant

Not a scary story but it happened this week and feels like someone was looking out for me.

When my boyfriend and I moved in together in San Francisco, we rented an apartment which was basically half the upstairs of an older home converted into apartments. The other half of the upstairs was another apartment where our landlord, Sue, lived. Sue was an interesting character who at first came off as an angry…

I saw some weird things while pregnant too! Weirdest by far was a massively tall figure cloaked in black feathers. Like 9 feet tall, tall. But the cloak made it kind of pyramidal in shape if that makes sense. I saw/felt this thing (it was somewhere between the two senses like I kind of saw the general shape, but also…

I enjoy this feature every year and I always think I should share my story but never do...this year, I am going to tell it!

I grew up in a really small town in the early 90s. It was the kind of town where there was still a local dairy and you could get deliveries from it for milk, butter, ice cream, etc. It was kind of a sign your family was upper middle class if you got these deliveries instead of buying the cheaper stuff from the grocery…
