The one that creeped me out the most was the woman who fell asleep on her friend’s couch and woke up to see something creeping around on the floor under a blanket with black hair eeeeeeek just thinking about it gives me the willies!

I have a similar story !! I always forget to submit it on time. But I’ll share it with you , I hope you like it. Sorry about my English it’s not the best.

Y’all should do a best of of all time. I love to read these and all the comments but these 10 are pretty meh compared to a lot of past submissions. 

Why the hell is “Strange Living Room” on here? Nothing remotelt scary, spooky, etc, happens. It isnt even tangentially a scary story. Interesting, sure. But it sure as hell doesnt belong on a Halloween scary story list.

Exactly what I think when I get to a story and its super long, I skim over it and only look for and read the important stuff. Too many details makes me think to myself the author is making it up or is trying to fill up their story to make it seem more realistic. That’s my thought. 

In general I didn’t love the story. Old people laughed at him and the returned the money he dropped? Meh. Story of my childhood.

This is my favorite collection of creepy stories and I look forward to/shudder in anticipation of it every year. Here’s my creepy tale to add to the pile, sorry it is a real life threat not a paranormal one.

Sadly, I’m pretty sure it’s fake. Maybe not even intentionally so, as by the author’s admission it was 30-40 years ago, and human memory is actually awful at accurately recalling events. He probably got called into a house that was mildly creepy, there were a couple people inside acting strange, and time has distorted…

This is a secondary tale, but it’s always stuck with me. People, cherish your dogs.

Ha. That museum story reminded me of a hotel/apartment rental place in Honolulu that I stayed at. It’s a high rise at the end of Waikiki. There was about a 30% chance whenever you got on that the elevator would skip all the button pushes and go to whatever floor someone called it to. One of the worst days was a packed…

That story could have been four or five paragraphs long. Bad form the including it - but even worse form making it the first story.

Hi Friend!

I posted a comment asking people not include too many extraneous details, and someone strongly disagreed with me and said the details made them feel like the story was real and verifiable. After reading the first story, I stand by my opinion. I did not need 10 paragraphs(!) of exposition explaining how newspaper…

No kidding, like ok we get it! You like to get descriptive with the location but get on with it already!

These are cool, but that gas station kid from a few years ago jumps to the front of my brain around this time every year. Only now he’s slightly older but still the same size, feet darker and smokes cigarettes butts thrown out of car windows on the highway.

It’s not much and probably just a dream I had as a kid. But I was convinced for years this was real.

I think the extraneous details were meant to make it feel more “real” but instead I was rolling my eyes at how fake it felt. You remember all that shit from 35 years ago?

I couldn’t bring myself to read it all. Lengthy...

That first story sure didn’t read the comment about extraneous details, Christ.

re the old Sophtown Boarding school story, seems to be referring to this place:
