Yeah...

I agree! I believe Nick Cannon said in an interview that they didn’t get it on until their wedding night.

Hubz and I dressed up as Blac Chyna and Rob for Halloween and the official Rob Kardashian liked our pic so basically I’m a celebrity - yes it’s very nice to meet me!

You know.... I believe it?

Yes, really. Being half-Indian, growing up on tribal land, I was always Indian. “Native American” came into vogue as a descriptor only within the last 20 years, or so. In my experience, it’s white people who get offended on my behalf. Don’t need the righteous indignation, though.

Indians is fine. Lots of people prefer it.

Also, don’t reply to me with trolly things like saying American Indians massacred tons of people.

You mean “We never had (insert haunted object here)” isn’t an original twist ending?! /s

Me, too! But that’s probably because I recently had to look up articles from 1959-present for a work project and some major newspapers haven’t bothered digitizing anything from before 1970. I had to go to look at microfiche at the library for all the small local papers. I didn’t find the story scary (or believable),…

“Look at Me” is definitely still my favorite story, but while I still find it very scary it does hit all the check marks of an urban legend. It might as well be “humans can lick, too”

For some reason I had the hardest time believing a small town’s local newspaper would have its archives digitized and online back to the 1930s.

I feel like a LOT of the entries this year were short story fiction, totally not real stories that happened to them. I was bummed.

Every year people talk about how scary Sorcia McNasty’s truck story was and every year all I can think is, “Seriously?” That story was soooo over-the-top that it was not scary to me even one bit.

I think there’s a difference between someone writing short fiction to scare, and someone who genuinely believes what they wrote happened. This story was just too polished.

Yeah, it kind of ruins the fun when it isn’t at least plausibly real. And if the author outright cops to making it up, yeah, I don’t think it should get the honor of being among the winners, even if it still deserves to be recognized as a very scary and well-written story. (Personally, the armoire story doesn’t even…

Yeah I actually didn’t like that one or find it scary because it felt too unbelievable and disjointed.

I should clarify - I don’t expect the editors or jezebel staff to research or do independent fact checking of these. But if the author admits that it’s fake, that should be an automatic disqualification.

I’m disappointed. One of the three requirements for submission is that the story has to be true. There’s only three requirements!! And yet clearly fake bs like the armoire story “wins”? :(

That was an excellent selection. Although I wish it was one entry longer because the one about the guy on the Craigslist date with the guy who worked real estate and was making noises in the basement was terrifying. I thought about that story for DAYS after I read it. Scary as hell.

So ur with ur honey and yur making out wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is “wut r u doing wit my daughter?” U tell ur girl n she say “my dad is ded”. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
