Years and years ago, my friend (A) and I were invited to stay in another friend’s (B) holiday home in the south of France. It was a beautiful old building in an ancient village on top of a hill, and B reckoned there’d been a dwelling on the spot for around 1,000 years. I’m not sure how old the house was, but the…

This is super-short, but my son (now 5) has inherited what my mother always called my “over-active imagination.” At least, that’s what I hope it is. Recently, he freaked out my friend and her daughter (who’s also my son’s best friend) by announcing that there was a black shadow creeping up the stairs in their house.…

Oh man I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about (and I wish I didn’t). Years ago, my sister lived in a place like that. She attempted suicide twice that year - we’re lucky we still have her. When my parents and I went over to stay with her after she got out of hospital following the second (most serious) attempt, her…

Gotta stand up for my guy here. He wasn’t at the Sister Rally in my town yesterday but only because he was working and he’s super proud that I went. He hugged me last night when he got in and held me while I cried. I know I’ve got a great one, but there are plenty of them out there. Love and support to all of you who…

I shared mine waaaaaaaay too late on the original thread to be seen by anyone ever, so I hope nobody minds me re-posting it here. It’s nowhere near as scary as some of the other tales on here, but I’ve been a huge fan of this contest ever since I found it right at the start of this year and I’ve wanted to join in for…

I know what you mean about some places having that kind of damaging, negative energy. My sister used to live in this AMAZING apartment that was converted out of a really old, old building (maybe 500 years old?) and something just felt off about it. She attempted suicide twice the year she lived there and I remember…

I LOVE THIS CONTEST. Found it earlier this year and have been waiting for MONTHS now for this year’s contest to open. Anyway, here’s my story - nowhere near as spooky as some of the others on here, but I wanna join in the party....

Aargh, similar experience in a camper van on Tasmania: it was late, we were exhausted and we couldn’t find a campsite, so we pulled off the road to where we could park safely in the midst of these really thick, dense woods and bedded down for the night. I spent the night screaming myself awake from really vivid dreams…
