Longtime fan of this contest, first time story-haver!

I don’t believe in ghosts. Not at all. For one thing, my family has owned a “haunted” hotel and restaurant for a century, and none of us have ever seen or heard anything supernatural. At this point, we’d actually like to experience the hauntings our guests describe, which include actual figures in period garb. I can…

I was working in a northernish reserve school in Alberta back in the late nineties. Everything in this world is political, and first nation reserves are no exception, so when the gym teacher (whose real name is actually the name I use to give anything a fake name so we’ll call him Jorge instead) came to us on a cold…

I would love to share a story I posted on reddit about a year ago. It is not creepy enough by any means to make it to the top but I would love to get people’s thoughts on what the hell it could have been.

“The Dancing Doll”

I’m someone who gets very hot easily, especially when I’m trying to sleep. I’m the type that has the ceiling fan running alongside a fan at the foot of my bed, both at full blast and both running along with my air conditioning. My room needs to be like ice for me to sleep comfortably. So when the colder months come…

I had an experience very much like yours. I’m pretty sure this is what lead to me figuring out that I could feel things.

The Roommate

I work late hours and am usually the last person in our small office building. It’s a small building, only 6 floors. The entire first floor is just the open atrium style lobby, a large conference room, bathrooms and building management offices. There are only four tenants in the building: second floor is split with a…

That is some spooky shit, but I gotta say... i doubt the ghost, spectre, spirit or whatever would take much note of the fact that there were no longer any stairs there and would continue to come up and down as she pleased. I say this because my dad and aunts grew up near a little town called Bryan, TX and lived on a…

This story is absolutely true. When I was a teenager in the late 70s, my parents had a back-to-the–land phase and bought an old farmhouse in the country. Although our main residence was still in the city, we would spend weekends and summer vacations at the farm, growing vegetables, renovating the old house, and…

Title: Roommate

Yikes! The clicking on the glass gave me the willies!

Also, it reminded me of the only evidence of ghostly phenomena that I’ve personally experienced at my presumably-haunted workplace (a 400+ year old building where others have definitely reported creepy happenings): A couple of times, when I’ve been working in one of…

My cousin’s house was like that for me. She and her husband bought a house in an older part of town, where the lawns are bigger and the houses unique, one from the other. Prior to going to their house warming party, and in fact, prior to knowing they were even house hunting, I had a dream that I walked up to a house…

This happened probably ten years ago. My mom is psychic, and after a bunch of unexplainable events I think we all realized that she wasn’t full of it. Now, I’m not going to ask people to believe or not believe, but this did happen, and you can take it how you want.

So this is second-hand but I 100% believe it because I’ve been to the space many times and ~felt things~. My friend’s son goes to a daycare in the basement of an old church in the PNW that has been converted into a community space (they still use the sanctuary for services but the rest of the buildings are leased to…

God damnit ... this didn’t show on my feed and now I’m late! 😲 However, I’m going to share my story and then start reading which will take me almost all of October 😁

Oh, holy cow. So glad you are ok and had help from whatever.

i’ve been reading this for several years and for me, there are three options.

Ok granted we are all going to want to revisit these for the whole month- what are your tips for reading the stories? Sorting by oldest? Newest? After a week or so I can never find my place again. Jezebel FLOG please find a new format or something for these. Or close the post at midnight and make a new one each day.
