This would be a great story for the Radio Rental podcast!
Ok, well I was NOT expecting an older lady! Geez, you think she’d had the decency to close the door after her or straighten the towels! This story actually may be my fave this year! That is something for sure.
I bought a really dilapidated, foreclosed farmhouse-turned Duplex in Salt Lake City right out of college in 2009. It immediately required a ton of work before my boyfriend and I could even move in. The vibes were creepy and anyone who entered the house knew it. In those first days we would stay up late painting and…
These ones always creep me out the worst. Disgusting.
Just thinking about walking into a house where all the rooms are red gives me the creeps. When we were house shopping we walked through a home that people still lived in (but who weren’t there) and it had HORRIBLE suffocating vibes. My husband, our realtor, and I all felt it separately, as we learned when we ended the…
I’m much too late for anyone to see this. But I’m posting because this literally happened to me LAST NIGHT: 10-10-21.
This happened when I was living in Chicago in 2015 in a three floor walk up apartment building. Only 3 units that shared the stairwell - mine being the middle. One night I was in a hurry to meet friends for a night out. Around 4am, my boyfriend and I came home very drunk to my apartment door wide open. We went through…
This isn’t my own story, but my dad’s - and my dad isn’t a liar. He’s experienced a lot of wild things taking odd jobs out on the road throughout his twenties, but this story happened right in my Indiana hometown when my mom was pregnant with my older sister. We lived in the country, and there was a hairpin turn on…
i thought they were going to find dead children in the walls. this was so creepy!
Terrifying on so many levels! Also, you are a fantastic storyteller (I’m not implying this isn’t real, I mean you kept me on the edge of my seat).
I love that this neatly encapsulates both a ghost-story setup and a real “creeper” story!
Oh buddy. I sighed for a really long time. I have a day like that where suddenly an adult man made me very aware that my body was a liability at age twelve too. Hating your body is its own horror.
Something that has helped me is strength training and pilates. Making my body feel strong helps me grapple with the fact…
This one is a bit grim, but it’s the very true story of the time I crossed paths with a murderer and his accomplice who were on the run.
When I was 12, I briefly hung out with a group of girls who were more “mature” than I was—which is to say, they liked boys and makeup, and I was more of a play-with-my-American-Girl-dolls type of tween. One summer day we decided to dress up and walk around our town, which was basically an attention-getting exercise.…
This description of the town may be the scariest story I’ve read.
Two stories, very short. Both true.
Over twenty years ago, my then-boyfriend and I booked a 3 week trip to South Africa. His childhood best friend was marrying a South African girl, and we would fly into Johannesburg to attend their wedding and then rent a car to travel around the country.
I know this is a bizarre thing to comment on in your story, but the horse hair in the walls isn’t actually that weird, since people used to use it to make plaster walls a lot stronger and less liable to crack. The horse hair was used to reinforce the plaster and allowed for greater flexibility of the plaster when…
This happened when I was around seven and living in a small farm town outside of Chicago. Each night I’d go to bed and from the ceiling above me a little girl, in the shape of a shadow, would watch me. I recall she had this curly untamed hair and no facial features, but she definitely read as a little girl around my…
