So I’m starting way down at the bottom but I want to participate in the spookiness.

It happened to me too...

And when I tried to star this ... the star vanished. (But that might just be Kinja.)

Well good for you for saying something! And what the hell with all the dudes sitting there doing nothing. Only a woman would speak up and protect that little girl.

When I came to this thread (late) I got:

Holy shit

Ffffffffffffffuuuuuccckkk

OOoh, it’s thundering right now to perfect the mood for reading these stories.

Ugh that’s so gross and creepy. I’m glad you said something. I also always try to keep an eye on kids traveling alone on the bus.

A bakery I worked at had just gotten a new client, and to keep up with demand we’d had to add an overnight shift to prep stuff for the early shifts when they came in. As the manager, I worked the first few weeks of the shift myself (alone) so that I could train whoever we hired later to do it.

I grew up in NJ in an area that has a big part in the revolutionary war. I was pregnant at the time. My husband and I had dropped ofF one of our cars at the dealership and were…

I’m 22 years old - my stepfather (who I liked) has just died, and I’m estranged from the rest of my abusive family. I drop out of college and move to the seacoast of Maine, renting a room in a beautiful Victorian house overlooking a harbor. The owner of the house is a single woman, a scientist, who had just adopted…

I have a story, but it’s not mine. It comes from my mom who heard it from her older sister when she was young. I have no idea if it is true. It could just be a story made up by a teenager trying to spook her younger sister. There’s one detail of the story that does ring true though, and that’s the location: Purple…
