I did as well! The description of the plastic carpet runners was perfection, and the sound of the picture frames being lifted up and set down again, one by one, was eerie.

What’s unnecessary is for you to be so rude. You aren’t being asked to critique a novel. This isn’t even a yelp review. I’m sorry for whatever shittiness currently exists in your own world, but spreading it around never  helps.

And the entity ... didn’t want you to eat? This leaves me with questions 

Creaky Visitor

I’m so sorry you experienced all of those traumas, especially with s sick infant and stepson that had been abandoned by his own father. You sound like an amazing mother, and don’t need to justify any of your actions/reactions to strangers online (or in real life for that matter). Your story was both straightforward…

She was caring for a very sick infant, in an out of the PICU, and a five year old whose father, and her husband, had turned emotionally and physically abusive and, oh yeah, also being fucking terrorized by inexplicable and menacing phenomena. And she was supposed to focus on getting video evidence for a complete…

“Transmissions from Beyond”

I have definitely felt animals jump or step on to my bed. I don’t know who the animals were, but I can attest to feeling that happening.

Not necessarily super spooky, but it really scared me at the time!

OK, four stories: One is uncanny, two are deeply creepy, and one is rather sweet.

When I was a young woman I lived in an old house that had been broken up into apartments. Mine was on the second floor. Several times, I heard the outer door open and close heavily, and footsteps come up the stairs and stop outside my…

We bought our house 12 years ago in a typical suburban neighborhood, nothing super exciting. After we moved in, the neighbors started coming over to introduce themselves and tell us a bit about the previous owners (the owner’s daughter was the one we met at the closing, and all she had told us was that her father had…

My story is more unnerving than scary, but it is true, DOES involve a ghost, and has totally changed my understanding of spirits and what the hell they’re up to.

I’ve replied a few times in the comments here (usually in the “best of” haunted posts). The place I work at is famously haunted. It’s been on every “true” ghost show on TV. If anyone works there for any length of time they’ve heard something or seen something. In fact, one of my bosses (who I’m very fond of and who…

My partner and I bought our forever home just a couple of years ago during COVID. While we’re still very happy with our home, it came with something extra that we didn’t expect.

About five years ago I lived in a neighborhood called Hillcrest, right above downtown San Diego. My wife, daughter and I were living in a tiny one bedroom apartment that looked like it had once been part of a larger house that got subdivided. We liked that apartment a lot. We had a little L shaped garden out of our…

This story is from my sister. I’ve known about it since it happened, and finally got her to write it out in all its glory, so I can share.

Text from the Deep

My sophomore year of college I moved out of an awkward rooming situation and was set up in a temporary “emergency single” that the university kept open. After the ordeal I had with my former roommates, I was excited to have a room all to myself.

I moved to Downtown LA with an ex, into an old bank building that had been converted into shiny new loft apartments. I hadn’t wanted to move there, it was an intense area, lots of gentrification with sounds of fighting on the streets at night. I thought a chill neighborhood would be a better fit for us. My ex…

My folks bought a large farm house built in 1924 the summer before I started 3rd grade (1984ish). My mom, brother and I had been gone all summer at her folks on the east coast, and my dad and some friends moved us in while we were gone.
