When I was a young girl my mother used to tell me these stories about a “shadow man” who at visited her at night when she was a kid. She said she’d often wake up with him standing next to her bed, or staring down at her. He was just a shadow in the shape of a man with no discernible features. She also tells me that…

Years ago, I worked on a movie being shot in an abandoned mental hospital. We worked round the clock, sleeping there for several nights. I am a skeptic. But I can’t explain the many things that happened there. It took me awhile to talk about this one.

Back in high school, my parents were strict about my curfew and driving long distances. I thought it was lame then, but I would not drive 2 hours with a 17 year old behind the wheel now.

This is a long story and will probably end up buried, but honestly I just want to tell it. This seems like a good place. It involves me making some very poor decisions - if my life had an absolute nadir (so far) it would probably be the week this happened. Please remember that as you read. It is also *slightly*…

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…

The summer of 2014, I got a sublet in a Midwest college town to escape my family drama and to live with my partner Alex. We took over the rent for the college student who was living at home during the summer, and she told us that her current roommate would be returning to the apartment in a month. Alex and I spent the…

Creepy Footsteps

Shadow

The Chimes

Okay, this story isn’t necessarily scary, but it solidified my belief in supernatural spirits.

About eight years ago, my family and I took a trip to Boulder, CO. We found an awesome airBnB right on the outskirts of downtown Boulder. It was an old Victorian house that had been rehabbed and converted into three…

This happened to me 15 years ago while backpacking in Peru with a friend. There were a lot of backpackers in the region, and we quickly discovered a lot of them came with the sole intention of doing lots of drugs. We were both straight edge at the time so we generally avoided befriending these types. I think they…

What’s In the Bucket?

This happened to me a few years ago, and I still get chills every time I think about it.

I’ll let Chris Rock respond:

Shutting down the only dedicated politics website in your portfolio right before the 2020 election, one of the most consequential of our lifetime, kicks into high gear. Essentially shutting down the second-most highly trafficked website in your portfolio because one out of every twenty five posts rankles you. I’m not…

Hey y’all, happy Halloween!

The scariest thing about the ouija board story is that a Chick Tract gained enough sentience to write it!

“Deeper Into The Woods”

Been waiting to post this since last year! Apologies in advance for the length, and hopefully this gets out of the greys.

The Rollaway

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.
