My older sister used to work as an NPS ranger on a VA battlefield and actually actually got to live in an old house onsite nicknamed “The Stone House”. I have zero idea how she or her roommates got any sleep in that place because it was fucking terrifying. Whenever I visited I would sleep on the living room couch. I…

My dad is 100,000% a non-believer, yet he was the one to see a ghost in Gettysburg with my sister. They visited on a clear, sunny weekday, with few other people around. My dad says, “Hey, look, there’s a re-enactor!” My sister didn’t see it, and he got more and more frustrated with her, thinking she was screwing…

Me too, especially since I’m a year behind reading!!!

I’ve been waiting for this thread all year to tell my story and now I´m late !! I will tell it anyway, hopefully someone will read it!

I missed the deadline this year! Well, I will try again.

A friend of mine moved into an old house with her family, including her four-year-old daughter. The daughter kept refusing to use her own bathroom, saying there was a “gray lady” who floated in the corner and stared at her there. She only wanted to use her parents’ bathroom.

After going back on forth on whether to submit, I finally decided to just go for it but was too late for this year. Here is my scary story, and it’s a whole lot truer than the thrift store one!

I went to the same summer camp for years and recently attended one of their weeks for adults. Amazing place. Full on German immersion since the early 1960s. Language, culture, food, architecture, all of it.

I never think to post this during the calls, (and I don’t think it would get selected anyway) but when I was a kid my parents used to take us up to New Hampshire for vacation. We split our time between Story Land and Santa’s Village (my and my sister’s choice) and White Mountain things (my parents choice).

I think one of my all time faves was a comment that never made it to the lists. It was about the Jinn that was spotted through binoculars by soldiers that seemed walked in place.

I vote for the “fixer upper” story where the couple explores an abandoned house with creepy dolls and a pit in the middle of the floor and the one about Cassandra and her partner going to the dog park island in the middle of the night and sensing creepy things wanted to harm them.

Both of those are so good. The haunted truck is legendary. I’m gonna go read it again now. Do you remember which year it was?

By acclaim, Sorcia McNasty’s story about the haunted truck would go in there, and I’m still going to stand by my contention that the freakiest story I ever read on here was IndianaJoan’s story “911 Calling.”

So, I immediately went to my mom’s recommended psychic (I know) and told him everything. He very calmly said, “Well, I think it’s safe to say, it likes you. And hates Ally.” He then told me that if I didn’t want it to bother me, all I needed to do was audibly and clearly tell it exactly what I expected it to do.…

I used to hear breathing like that coming from the closet of one of my old apartments. It was a loft-style apartment, so the breathing would kind of echo around the whole place, but it very definitely originated from the closet.

... I spent a lot of nights downstairs on the sofa in front the TV, is what I’m saying.

P.S.…

I believe you. We’ve experienced enough weirdness that whenever we hear stories like yours we don’t discount them. The breathing thing resonates with me because I distinctly recall a couple of instances when my husband and I were in bed, just talking companionably. During a lull in the conversation I heard deep, even…

Does she know? Does she know?

The Breathing in the Attic

Let me preface this by saying I don’t believe in ghosts. I believe there is a reasonable explanation for what I experienced. I just don’t know what it could be.

I grew up in an old house. The kind with high ceilings and big windows and lots of creaking. We had a full attic, filled with…
