Idk I think prowling around a room on all fours is pretty sinister.

“Hello Senoritas” 

I keep waiting for my kid to say some awesome creepy stuff because I LIVE FOR THAT SHIT. For better or worse, he has proven to be remarkably normal except for just one time when we were driving to meet my parents at a park. I was so delighted by his little utterance, I texted my MIL to share it with her because she’s…

You Know What They Say About Curiosity

A Souvenir From the Stanley Hotel

I always say I'm likely to die trying to pet something I shouldn't.

My first time contributing, finally! I live on the west coast of Norway, and despite the grim weather, I love the dark and moody atmosphere that the weather brings, especially in winter. Despite all the tales and stories, I have never seen anything out of the ordinary, although I can definitely understand how such an…

Dopplegangers aren’t unheard of, but the fact that it’s copying you both is weird. It almost makes me think it’s more of a house spirit rather than an actual ghost, that was upset or woken up by the recent updates, and is exploring the new layout, while trying to blend in.

We are fortunate to live in an area where there are myriad parks and walking paths a close distance from our house. When my youngest was an infant, we made it a weekend tradition to take him and his older sister to the closest “Exertrail” every weekend so that my 2-year-old could run off all her energy. My youngest…

Okay – so this all happened when I was in college, between 2006 and 2010. I went to a women’s college that didn’t have dorms, but houses – buildings you usually stayed in for all four years. The houses were generally old (built in the 1800s), and mine in particular hadn’t been updated recently: the architecture was…

This is — I hope — a story about a dream.

Oh, and I have another slightly spooky, kind of nice story! A good friend passed away earlier this year. He was actually the last person I dated before I met the above ex. We were basically friends with benefits, and, thanks to our entirely shared friend group, we stayed friends even after I started seriously dating…

My story isn’t scary, just a little creepy, and maybe even a bit nice. Should be a good palate cleanser after all the terror from the others.

It was late October as several friends and I sat around the kitchen table playing with my best friends Ouija board. The board had been passed down from her aunt and clearly showed the wear and tear of years passed. We lit candles, argued over who would go first and giggled like the teenagers we were as we summoned…

This reminds me of 10 years ago when I went to meet a guy for a 2nd date about a week after our first blind date. I wasn’t sure if I recognized him when he walked up to the restaurant so I asked, “Dave?” and he said “Yeah, <my common name>?” I said, “I wasn’t sure that was you!” And he said, “It’s not...we’re looking…

Long time lurker here. Favorite time of year!

Hey dude. I posted three consecutive times about the asshole ghost in my house. I’m only not posting this year because I have no more specific stories about it. And I stand by every word I typed.

She’s a goddess. If you’re not reading her, start, and pick up some NK Jemisin while you’re at it. It took me way too long to realize it, but Sci-fi/fantasy does NOT need to be as white as it has been for the past 100+ years.
