I was waiting for the call for story submissions this year, and I totally missed it! By the time I posted my story, it was way waaaay in the grays after about 2000 other posts. Anyway, here it is again - creepy camping story! Loved the one from this year that got picked with the footprints in the snow. Eek!!:

fuuuuuuuck THOSE VIDEOS.

Do both!

The “you know what I am” part was really, really great. Idk if the story was true or not but it was so well written and realistic I don’t even care! I hope the author is doing well now, either way.

That one was so evocative of a desperate life—it also scared the shit out of me.

That one was good, I really enjoyed it. Possibly because I can kind of relate; people don’t see “me” other places, but they always seem to think I’m someone else they know. “Sarah?” “Is your name Angela?” “Aren’t you Katie’s mom?”

Ha ha I had the same thought when I read that story! I was like “so...you weren’t going to wash your bowl?”

Ugh, I don’t know if there’s a speedier alternative to literally just scrollin’ and loadin’, but if there is, someone let me know!

Bundy varied his MO. With 12y/o Kimberley Leach (his last victim) he just ordered her into the car - in sight of witnesses! I think with his youngest victims he didn’t bother with subtlety.

Yay! I’m going to repost mine because I was something like comment 700 and grey for the original post and it is literally the coolest story I have.

Im never watching it. Ever.

It is terrifying. When I was a kid, I lived in northern Nevada. I80 cut right through the town and was the main drag. It was also know as the sewer out of California. One day I was downtown after school when I was about 14, and I was headed for the library. A car passed me with dark-haired man at the wheel. I didn’t…

Fuseli painted this centuries ago, he knew what was up with that sleep paralysis shit.

The story with the abusive boyfriend who says to the woman “you know what I am” was one of the best, is a shame it didn’t get featured. I think it was buried too far down to get noticed. I’ll link it if I get time later

I can’t help but feel that the ‘real people’ stories—while definitely terrifying!—should have a different thread. I come here to read about paranormal frights, not the everyday realities of being a woman.

You left a dirty dish that had milk in it in a sink on your last day? Ghost or no ghost, dick move.

Wow, thank you for catching that. I’m an idiot. He’s two and a half (30 months) not one and a half, math is hard ha ha. He was talking a lot at one and a half but yeah, not in complete sentences. wish I could edit the story but oh well.

Yeah, I’m calling bs on that story. But maybe the Blue spirit was a baby genius IRL and is now possessing his son.
Also, I appreciate that 1/20th of your son’s vocabulary is “taco.” There’s a guy who knows what’s important in life.

Your 18 month old son can say sentences like “the blue went pee”? That seems like extreme language development, but I don’t have kids. Is that a normal age to start potty training? I know nothing about kids clearly.

I need you to listen. None of this is real. Do you understand? We’ve got our best people working on getting you out but, as of now, they can’t do that without you realizing the life you think you’re experiencing is a simulation.
