My mom watches a lot of ID and people are always commenting how someone who murdered someone else didn’t look like they type and I always wonder, “What does a murderer look like?” Because, really, the notorious ones always look pretty normal. Sometimes a little nerdy and sometimes attractive and charming, but always…

I believe you. We’ve experienced enough weirdness that whenever we hear stories like yours we don’t discount them. The breathing thing resonates with me because I distinctly recall a couple of instances when my husband and I were in bed, just talking companionably. During a lull in the conversation I heard deep, even…

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!! It was ghosts! Unquiet spirits! They were shocked you could "sense/hear" them! Eeep!

Does she know? Does she know?

When I was in junior high, I made some friends at school who invited me to go to church with them on Wednesday nights. My family wasn’t especially religious, but growing up in Oklahoma, we were surrounded by many people who were. We occasionally went to church with my grandparents or other family members, but weren’t…

Towards the end of college, my roommate, Ally*, and I moved into a new apartment. We wanted a place that felt more like a home. What we picked, though definitely that, was also weird. It was a ’60s, maybe ’70s, house in a nice neighborhood. On the outside, it looked like many of the houses in Boulder with exposed…

My dad committed suicide ten years ago now. Just over a year ago, I was running errands near where he used to work - I spent a lot of time there as a kid, he and my mum job shared and it was a notforprofit and very social and family oriented. The organisation isn’t in the main part of the building but there’s still a…

A couple years ago my now ex and I did a road trip up north of our state, through some old farming areas and to an old mining town. The plan was to hit the thrift stores all the way up, and check out the little local museums, a thing we did reasonably often.

A couple things things happened on this trip that maybe…

Ok, one of the creepiest things that ever happened to me was when I was in college.

“Hello Senoritas” 

The Ghostest Generation

(Not a native English speaker, sorry.)

Mine’s kind of short, but It still lingers with me.

Hey teenyshelton, the official response from the police was that they couldn’t gather a complete fingerprint to match to anyone in their database. The detective assigned to our case did his best to keep us calm throughout, and theorized that this was a bad case of an unwelcome house guest (he couldn’t explain the…

“I May or May Not Have Summoned a Demon”

It’s weird how some houses just seem to harness dark energy.

Hi Army, daughter is OK thanks for asking. We’ve convinced her that it was a bad dream and have also consulted with a child psychiatrist for any potential warning signs of trauma that could arise form this incident.

“Skills Include: Washing Hair with Eyes Open”

Long-time reader, first-time writer. Apologies on the length.

My family and I live north of Chicago and bought a home last year. The previous homeowner’s parents built the home (in 1986) so we thought we knew everything.

The home has a main floor, upstairs (four bedrooms), finished basement (one bedroom) and attic. The…

This isn’t too scary, maybe just a bit spine tingling.
