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.

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

I was following him when he suddenly turned away from the wall and physically…

The Garbage Man

My sister was in a relationship with a man, “Alan”, who was bad news. He was quite a bit older than her, no steady job, never had any money (in fact was always hitting her up for money for beer or car repairs) and increasingly was mooching off her kindness and moving himself into her home without an official…
