This might be a long shot, but does anyone remember the submission from a few years ago that was about a haunted wardrobe from hell? The writer and her friend would play in it as kids, and then years later, when she asked her mom about where it went, she goes “we never had a wardrobe, dear”?? I’m pretty sure writer…

I once hiked a Civil War park and unfortunately got lost. I ended up so dehydrated all I could do was crawl desperately looking for help and water. Eventually, a nice park ranger helped me, but I guess the rest of these assholes thought I was a ghost...

There was one from 2017 about someone who had flashbacks to her grandmother’s violent death (and she never knew her grandmother) whenever she heard a Patsy Cline song that I legitimately think about all the time.

I’ve been waiting for this thread all year to tell my story and now I´m late !! I will tell it anyway, hopefully someone will read it!

This is very creepy and really sad and ultra-infuriating. That a guy who has harmed women in these ways is still out and about getting dates and new relationships. I hope he left your former-roomie alone and she feels safe and secure in her new situation. I’m sad for you that this experience also altered your sense of…

I hope I did this right - by PenelopeLopsy

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.

After going back on forth on whether to submit, I finally decided to just go for it but was too late for this year. Here is my scary story, and it’s a whole lot truer than the thrift store one!

I never think to post this during the calls, (and I don’t think it would get selected anyway) but when I was a kid my parents used to take us up to New Hampshire for vacation. We split our time between Story Land and Santa’s Village (my and my sister’s choice) and White Mountain things (my parents choice).

I assume it has something to do with coaxing the person into inviting it in.

“So this guy sees my petite frame and stunning fit and confesses to a murder. What a haul! And on top of that I got a free sandwich. Welp back to etsy’n hum de dum de dum de dum.”

I didn’t understand the phone clapping one. That seems like an enormous leap to say that the call came from inside the house. Prank calls were extremely common in the 80s and 90s. It’s so much more likely that this was just a coincidence that the prank call’s content matched what she was doing at the time, than it is…

I agree it depends on the part of the country except that she said the story occurred in Georgia.

Jezebel I'm unable to read any of the quoted stories - I can't scroll to see the full text and it doesn't wrap to fit my screen!

I had lotsssssssssssss of games at my reception. But also lotsssssssssssss of alcohol. And tacos!

I would say the only rule of wedding planning should be: the bride and groom get to do what they want, however they want, and you are not obligated to attend/stay.

I think I might have written this before, but I can’t find it in my post history! My dad’s dad owned a grocery store in Southern Ontario. This was back in the 60’s & 70’s – a little corner grocery with five shopping carts that were on the cutting edge of the grocery store experience at the time.

When I was 15, I got a job at Wendy’s. The usual, kind of shitty but mundane fast food job, where you work your way up from cleaning restrooms to tables to restocking the salad bar and the Frosty machine, until finally you get to either flip burgers or take orders. I wasn’t technically old enough to flip burgers (you…

Thank you. this post is to get away from T-bag, I feel like. Give us some wholesome spooks.

Okay, I’m going to share a scary story— really more of a scary fact of my life, past, present, and future, than a single story— that only about eight people on the planet know fully about, one of which is no longer with us, making the grand total seven. And now you will know, too, random internet person! I’ve created…
