The whole “me too” movement really soured for me this morning when I saw a past abuser making positive “men can make the difference!! Men need to step up!” posts on Facebook. This was pretty standard in our relationship - rah rah feminism in public, horrific abusive and sexist behavior in private (and constant…

Me too! Old houses are my JAM! Would love to live in one. I think.

Ugh this reminds me of a camping trip about 6 or 7 years ago in Katterkills Falls area of upstate New York. I’m a really terrible sleeper, I’ve suffered debilitating insomnia and sleep paralysis all my life so even though it sucks I amp quite used to these experiences. This particular trip though, I was woken up to…

The Spruce Knob/Seneca Creek area in Monongahela is definitely an interesting place. You can hike to an area where there was a plane crash some years ago and the wreckage is still there because the area is so remote that it would be nearly impossible to take out. Some of the trails and campsites in the area are…

That sounds familiar but I’m tipsy and don’t know where to start/ easily frustrated. I hope you feel better!

Okay, I tried to star your story but it too a star away. Going to stop and just post my stars.

our apartment outer walls are cement or brick which is kind of annoying to hang stuff on but not i am SO GLAD that they are.

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

Since you asked... :)

YAY! It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I was sleeping a few months ago when BOOM! I woke up out of nowhere. I’m talking zero to red alert instantly. My eyes just flew open. I lay there, confused, because I woke up thinking What do you want, it’s late! As I lay there I felt someone staring at my back. I thought it was my husband coming to bed and that he’d…

So I moved around a lot when I grew up, but there was one house in particular that was very very much haunted.  

I would really love one thread where people can say “Waiting for this,” or “My favorite from last year,” or “Current topic political joke.” The post on this thread get harder to get to every one and all the nonsense and crap just make it more difficult. Yes we’re all happy it’s here, and there is a link at the bottom…

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

Tried posting this one a few years ago, but was too late. Not a ghost story, but it’s one of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me.

So, in her life, my mom has gone through some shit. Sometimes, she’s not the most reliable narrator, but she tells this memory so consistently and with such emotion, that I believe her. She grew up in the late seventies, and eighties. My grandma was (still is tbh) a disaster. Grandma was part of the California…

I know this will be pretty downthread, but it’s a scary true story that really happened to me.

I have never seen a ghost. I have not received repeated phone calls from disconnected numbers. Weird things do not generally happen to me.

This happened to me about ten years ago while I was attending college at West Virginia University. At the time, I was really into backcountry camping, which for reasons that will become obvious, I am not into anymore. One of the benefits (actually probably the only benefit) of attending college in West Virginia was…

Mine might be a little unconventional but here we go. I have to start with the history of the house I grew up in, which some people say is probably the creepiest part of my story. Warning, there is some graphic content. And sorry, it’s a bit long.
