ALWAYS LISTEN TO ANIMALS. (They are smarter than we are about these things.)

Oh man. I was out on a backpacking trip at a notoriously “haunted” part of the trail, near an old homestead in the Pisgah, and all our clients had gone to bed. The other leader and I were heading to our tents and kind of laughing about the whole thing and I hung back a little to pee. I didn’t even veer from my path…

I know I’m late to the party, but here is a truly scary story - you might say it was a matter of life and death.

Okay, so this is the first real life thing to freak me out in a long time. Here it goes.

I’ve had very odd dreams about people after they died. When my grandmother died, I had constant dreams about her. We were so close that at the funeral many of our family friends came up to me specifically to give their condolences and say things like “I know this must be especially difficult for you, she loved you so…

I run often, on trails when I can, especially during our deep South summers, where any shade is a blessing. I usually run with our two huskies, who look like wolves and who I consider to be a pretty damn good deterrent to anyone who might bother me when we’re out.

I’ve only told this story to my closest friends. I haven’t even confided in my sister (for fear of the obvious shame). Please buckle in because this tale needs to be told in length.

With a side of “hell no” and some “fuck that” sauce.

While i was doing my degree, I had to do some fieldwork, and this entailed spending some time in a quaint UK village for a few weeks. The natives were quite welcoming and it made a nice change from normal coursework, so it was fine.

However, right away, I noticed the villagers were a bit odd about some things. For…

This is such a nice way to be contacted by a ghost! I had a vivid, sad dream soon after my grandmother died, where I was crying very hard and she was talking to me, telling me to calm down and that it would be alright. I woke up with tears on my face, and feeling like she actually talked to me.

But...you didn’t leave her even after she scared you. 😭

This is less scary and just paranormal..

“the spirit that scared you as a child meant you harm, and you will have two more such visitations in your lifetime.”

The very first house that I bought was haunted...by a cat. I knew the previous owner has a cat because there was a cat door cut into the utility door and when I was cleaning before moving in, there was cat hair all over the carpet.

I should preface this by saying that I have never seen a ghost or had any weird experiences, but my mom, who must be more sensitive than I am, has them constantly. She’s had multiple family members appear to her after they died (as has my grandma), she’s had ghosts appear and react to her presence simply because she…

Coincidentally, today is the anniversary of my father’s death. As is usual for October 17, I got a call on the phone with no caller id or number. Sure, I get robocalls all the time, but those usually have some fake name or visible number. This one, just “unknown.” Been happening for years. Normally, I’m a skeptical…

Not my story personally, but from a friend:

Oof. I’m not at all superstitiousat all, but I would have saged the hell out of that place before moving in.
