After a breakup, I took a while to start dating or sleeping with anyone for a little while, but decided after a year to get back on the horse so to speak. While on Grindr, a headless torso guy sent a few compliments my way and I was intrigued as the chat continued. He was about to move away in a week, said he was also…

Random Handsome Ceramic Loving Man

New account, old story.

I used to work in a hotel restaurant in high school. The hotel in question was always rumored to be haunted and I loved ghost stories when I was little, so I jumped at the chance when I saw they were hiring. I pretty easily got hired on as a hostess.

I think something in my house is trying to get my attention.

Probably posting way too late and won’t make it out of the greys, but might as well share! I should probably start off by saying that both my husband and I are generally not very sensitive to the supernatural, and both on the skeptic-end of things.

I have a few stories about my mom in this thread, so I waited a bit to write my own. A simple but powerful occurrence.

“The Beedi Man”

The Servant

“The Lady in the Attic”

When my boyfriend and I moved in together in San Francisco, we rented an apartment which was basically half the upstairs of an older home converted into apartments. The other half of the upstairs was another apartment where our landlord, Sue, lived. Sue was an interesting character who at first came off as an angry…

The machete gang

I posted this a few years ago, but with all the scary stories involving children, I thought I’d throw this out again as well. My update is that (as we thought) our old neighborhood has sustained a substantial re-haul. The row house is still modest in size, but the amount of time, effort and money thrown into making…

I wait all year long for Jezebel’s scary story contest, and this year, I have finally decided to contribute. My story is short, but not so sweet.

The Window

The house I lived in from age 8-18 was 100% haunted.
The house was two stories – built into the side of a hill. My room was upstairs in the old part of the house (it was about 50 years old when we moved in) and my parents were downstairs in the added-on part of the house – the add-on jutted out over the hill incline…

My husband, at-the-time-6 month old son (Forrest), and I were visiting his family at a small lake in Missouri for the 4^th of July this year. I’m not going to give the name because it was pretty small and I’m not trying to blow anyone up with unwanted attention. We rented an Airbnb with my MIL and FIL to have a place…

Warring Metaphysical Shops

This is about an uncle who was a real-life rocket scientist. He worked on the rocket fuel formula that got men to the moon. He was my favourite uncle, my father figure as my own was indifferent to me at best. It was a horrible shock when he got colon cancer. He married into my father’s family but was such a good guy…

So I’m a dude, and a couple years back I went on a Tinder date with a woman who had just joined the app. She seemed normal at first, but after talking for an hour or two in person she started to give off that vibe that some isolated homeschooled kids have (not that it’s a bad thing), but basically like they haven’t…
