Yeah, I really love Lizzo, but I can’t help but imagine how different the tone would’ve been if it had been Miley.

Plus, there’s zero chance Jezebel would take a charitable tone toward a woman doing this if she were smaller than Lizzo.

I dated a guy who wouldn’t let me sit on his bed if I had taken the subway over, because he didn’t want subway germs from my pants on his duvet. Weirdo. May he fall hopelessly in love with a woman who sits in short shorts on the subway

Mylar balloons can last a really long time. I was given a mylar balloon that lasted a little over five months before it stopped floating.

I’ve got one I call “Old Gray Thing” that I always forget to post. It was a paranormal encounter but I’m still not sure what exactly it was, and I’ve always been curious if anyone else has seen one too. I’m doxxing myself if anyone I know reads this, but here goes nothing...

It’s a famous line from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself.

I do a fair amount of backpacking and hiking. Never experienced something this intense personally, but have heard ones like this. (If you’re really interested: There is actually a reddit thread purportedly from a National Parks search and rescue officer that has a bunch of stuff like this regarding people and groups…

It’s reminiscent of Picnic at Hanging Rock.

I think this proves it... helium is sentient. Maybe it’s planning a big revenge on us all. It doesn’t want to be in Mylar. It. Wants. To. Be. Inhaled. 

Nope.

The last one reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me about her parents house -- apparently there is a friendly lady ghost there who also likes to read (a random medium/plumber discovered/talked to her while fixing their hot water heater and apparently she asked him the family can keep a book open for her at…

A friend of mine moved into an old house with her family, including her four-year-old daughter. The daughter kept refusing to use her own bathroom, saying there was a “gray lady” who floated in the corner and stared at her there. She only wanted to use her parents’ bathroom.

Truly the MPDG of stories.

Guyyyysss, who approved the Ouija board story?

I think one of my all time faves was a comment that never made it to the lists. It was about the Jinn that was spotted through binoculars by soldiers that seemed walked in place.

I vote for the “fixer upper” story where the couple explores an abandoned house with creepy dolls and a pit in the middle of the floor and the one about Cassandra and her partner going to the dog park island in the middle of the night and sensing creepy things wanted to harm them.

By acclaim, Sorcia McNasty’s story about the haunted truck would go in there, and I’m still going to stand by my contention that the freakiest story I ever read on here was IndianaJoan’s story “911 Calling.”

Just a friendly PSA: Civil War battlefields are all haunted. Visit at your own risk!

Does she know? Does she know?

This is a really nice story. I almost don’t believe it, but I want to think it’s real.  Thanks for sharing it, and I’m glad you keep the clothes!
