This story is 100% true... to the point that I have written about it twice and been published in my local newspaper. There are credible witnesses to whom I have personally spoken and from what I hear, even recorded evidence on a cell phone.

I’m a little late, but I wanted to share some stories my dad told me about his experiences with djinn in India. I’m pretty sure every Muslim kid loves a good djinn story and I’m no exception, but hope you all enjoy it too.

Back in college, I spent a semester abroad studying in New Zealand. Over one weekend, some girlfriends and I decided to book an overnight horse trek with a company just outside the city on the south island where we all went to school. The company offered an hours-long ride to a small, secluded beach where we would…

Several years ago, I had a run in with a relatively famous ghost in Key West, Florida. I was visiting a friend who lived in Southern Florida and was a spirit world aficionado. We were also with her fiancé, who was a skeptic. She booked a ghost tour for us, which was the kind of silly tourist thing I love. I wasn’t…

Dear folks that are worried their comments will never be seen, I am reading them and I am sure folks like me are reading them too. I truly appreciate all of your stories and they genuinely scare me. Your efforts are not for nothing, YOUR RANDOM STORIES ARE MY FAVOURITE. Thank you! Keep it up. With much love, me. And…

Awww.... that’s so sad. Poor Jay.

I like this one last year and still like it this year! 

I’ve been meaning to share this story for years but I always got in too late. Hopefully I’m in time this year, although there are already 500+ comments and even more in moderation. Oh, well. Onward!

Not paranormal or supernatural at all, and in the end more funny than scary, but it was extremely scary at the moment it happened...

THIS! Those assholes straight up broke the number one public transit code, if a lone traveller is being harassed you bring them into your travel fold! 

This proper upset me because I had my own old, clingy senior citizen situation this summer! We even met the same way, he fell at the end of the my drive and cut his hand really bad, and actually our postwoman (I live in a rural town, we know who delivers our mail) came to my door to ask if we could help bc she knows…

Growing up my family moved a lot. All within the same town. My parents had their own business building custom homes and for our family they would build a nice house and we would live in it until it sold. By the time I was 18 I had moved 30 times, mostly in the same town. Just from house to house. I mention this because…

My Mexican grandmother is a devoutly Catholic woman who is close friends with her priest and has spent decades giving communion at Sunday mass. Her life revolves around church. This is to say, she’s not one to mess with any unholy shit.

This was very interesting to read! I love New Orleans though I haven’t been back in years. I love how familiar it all feels. I get deja-vu walking through the French Quarter and the first time I took the St. Charles street car to go to Audubon Zoo I swear there was a lady on there who wasn’t really there. She was too…

Gonna need a picture of that artwork, Chief.

Oh, this one really creeped me out. Sounds like a demon.

This story comes from my dad, who is basically the absolute coolest. He spent his 20s traveling all over the world. He would live in a place for a while, crashing wherever and working odd jobs, then he’d move on to a new city, or state or country. He has truly incredible stories and he loves to tell them. But he has…

I wish I had a ghost story because I love them (although I’m too much of a scaredy cat to seek anything like that out). But this is the most terrifying thing that ever happened to me.

When I joined my local theater group last year, I had heard stories about the theater - indeed, the whole building - being haunted. By at least two ghosts - the gentleman who built the building, and one of the first actors to ever join the troupe. (There may be more. Depends on who you ask.)

So, here I go again. I actually submitted this last year, but late, and it got lost in the shuffle. The thing is, I don’t know if people will think its that scary. I only want to share because it is 100 percent true, and the lack of scares will be entirely due to me not being a particularly good story teller. This did…
