And this, my dears, is exactly why you get big, thick, wooden dowels or heavy broomsticks and cut them to fit in the tracks of the sliding glass doors when the door is closed. The entire back wall of our house — both downstairs and upstairs - is just a wall of sliding glass doors that open out onto the woods. You can…

About 11 years ago, myself, my husband and our one-year-old daughter moved into a house on a quiet cul-de-sac in a great neighbourhood. The house had been built in the 70’s and had not been updated, so inside it wasn’t overly attractive, but it was spacious with a nice little yard and it was affordable. Weird things…

I think about the ghost truck all the time! That was definitely one of the best (and scariest) true stories I’ve ever read. I also vividly remember one from a few years ago about a djinn in Afghanistan (I think, might’ve been somewhere else in the middle east) that soldiers were seeing through their night scopes that…

As my parents gave me more freedom and independence so they could enjoy themselves as adults I was often left at home to do homework, talk on the phone, or as I was wont to do: listen to Van Halen. In the spring of 1980, at 13, we lived on the West Bank military base across the Mississippi river from New Orleans. My…

Also, yes to the puppy trap. Seriously. Good call on that one.

My mom grew up in a small farm in the middle-of-nowhere northwestern Minnesota. Her dad died before I was born, but I regularly visited her mom (my grandmother) still living at the farm, until she passed when I was a teenager. My grandmother was the prototypical Great Depression-forged Midwest farm wife of Norwegian…

This description of the town may be the scariest story I’ve read.

Okay, here goes. I’m 20 something, walking to my new job through the park. It’s really early in the morning, nobody around. I’m not easily scared, so it didn’t bother me. Anyway, one morning I see a guy in the park, he starts walking toward me then gives me a weird look and beers off at the last minute. I carry on, go…

I can! It’s a small village just outside cottage country, in an agrarian community. The kind of place with Thanksgiving hay rides, a dog sledding festival, and an opiate epidemic.

First of all, this story is probably my favorite that I’ve read so far, so please don’t let what I’m about to say make you think that you’re story is super spooky.

Quite a few years ago, I was in a very bad relationship with a guy who we will call B. He was all around wrong for me, but I was young and of course I thought I could change him. We had already been dating for a while when I began to suspect he was into some....bad endeavors. Anyway, the final straw came when I found…

Question for all of us in the comments. Do you prefer:

I thiiiink I told this story like ten years ago here, but it may have been somewhere else. Anyway, here it is again!!

When I was a little girl, we lived in a busy little seaport town in New England. Most of the houses in my neighborhood were built in the late 18th and early 19th century and were owned by sea captains and the like. When I was in seventh grade I was friends with the weirdos and we enjoyed doing our own thing, which…

If the public has been subsidizing your mass amounts of wealth for centuries, you can’t unilaterally decide that the allocation of that same wealth isn’t in the public interest.

As the great Maya Angelou said: when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time

Tired of the “Trump sucked” genre of books. Begging y’all to stop buying these books and to stop paying attention to these grifter vultures. They are making bank picking over the rotten carcass of Trump’s presidency, whose disastrous term they helped manifest. Why do we keep rewarding the fuckers who enabled Trump…

As with all books like this from people who really should be under indictment, I think it should be highly encouraged to read it by shoplifting a copy from Wal-Mart.

If past Trump books are anything to go by, newspapers and magazines will be in a rush to publish scoops and excerpts, so you’ll be able to satisfy both your salacious curiosity (hey, I’m not judging) and your stance against enriching anyone in Trump’s orbit.

Really hard to pick a side…both women stayed with Trump for financial gain, both probably had contracts, but the one with this book left the cult? So I guess her side…
