For me, nothing’ll top the story about the soldiers and the djinn!

That scariest thing of all is the decision to make this sacred annual treat into a freakin’ slideshow.

“That really sucks lady!”

The one that maybe hit me hardest and that still hurts me to this day is Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit.

Carrie Fisher. Then Debbie Reynolds dying the next day, I think, of a broken heart.

Yes, we had a big red dog for 13 years. His name was Barney. It was great.

The two things that spring to my mind:

I honestly don’t see what’s wrong with the image. He doesn’t look evil. He doesn’t even look very red. This isn’t SonicGate Part Two. 

And also the significant (to me) grammatical challenges posed by those pronouns in the headline, because I initially thought the hairplugs were not ashamed. I would have gone with, “Sam Smith is not ashamed that they have hairplugs” -or- Sam Smith: “I have hairplugs and I am not ashamed”.

a few years ago in our late 20s my boyfriend and I had booked two nights in a cheap walkers’ lodge in a tiny remote Scottish hamlet during one of our trips to the Highlands. we had planned to camp one night, stay one or two in the hostel, depending on weather, then camp some more. as it was late autumn and the…

“Oh that place’ll never rent...”

My wife and I bought a house on see Lake Michigan just north of Chicago. Beautiful views of the water, the city, and the home is spectacular for raising kids. It was built in the 80s, so we didn’t think anything weird would come up. For the first 1.5 years in the house, nothing. The occasional creaky floorboard but…

This is a long story and will probably end up buried, but honestly I just want to tell it. This seems like a good place. It involves me making some very poor decisions - if my life had an absolute nadir (so far) it would probably be the week this happened. Please remember that as you read. It is also *slightly*…

This isn’t really scary, maybe a tad spooky, but I’ve never told anyone about it (the only people who know are my mom and my brother, and we’ve never talked about it) and I thought I could share with so many like-minded (?) people. I’m pretty... “skeptical” might be too strong a word; I guess ghosts etc. are possible,…

The little ones always have the courage the size of a Newfoundland. Bless her. <3

We always travel for our birthdays, and we like to do driving vacations so our two dogs can come along. We had just recently moved to LA and wanted to explore south of us, since we’d only ever driven north. For my 33rd we decided to drive down through Temecula and stay in the mountains. I ended up finding an…

This is a story that doesn’t involve me, but it really does freak me out.

I have a treasure trove of weird stories. I’m “that friend” for ghost problems, bad ju-ju in your house, all that stuff. I did college ghost hunting (which went well in hand with being a reinactor — you get a good sense for the historical and the legendary, and you learn what stuff could be plausible in old houses as…

The Demon

At the end of this summer, I had quite a decent Facebook Marketplace addiction, and I was sporadically zipping out to drop off or pick up random items.
