I love this, because it’s got funeral drama (always good) AND a woman who was just waiting for the moment her ex couldn’t fight back. My mom crashed my dad’s funeral, too, and just at the moment his wife had draped herself over his casket. It was everything. 

My dad cheated on my mom the entire 27 years they were married, and finally left her for the love of his life, who was a haint sent from the underworld to destroy all joy. When dad died, he’d been married to the haint for 27 years as well, and my mom STILL REFERRED TO HIM AS HER HUSBAND. She’s prewritten her own…

You’re leaving out the bit that Edward was removed from the royal line by an act of Parliament that gave legal effect to his abdication - which he then had to give his assent to. After that, his presence was simply an accounting and housekeeping issue.

Are you British? I’ve never heard the term “in good nick” but that’s an excellent one.

I legit carry cab fare (well, now it’s on my phone and it’s Uber or Lyft) when going out for my birthday because if they start singing at me, I will get up and walk out. I’ve done it twice, because people don’t believe me when I say that this is not a thing I want, ever. Sing at me at home, if you need to, but in a…

By acclaim, Sorcia McNasty’s story about the haunted truck would go in there, and I’m still going to stand by my contention that the freakiest story I ever read on here was IndianaJoan’s story “911 Calling.”

Does anyone want to start building a canon of the all-time greats we’ve had on here, over the years?

I feel like the crawling civil war ghost would go on there for me, from this year. Just a deeply upsetting mental image.

When I was about 22 one of my close friends, T, completed suicide. His housemate found him. None of us knew what he’d been going through. He was the life and soul. It was hard.

“The locals are really not down with mockery of their customs and religion? BEHOLD MY LACK OF MOCKERY! Allow me to spend lots of money in local stores before I go!”

That is entirely accurate and 100% sums up our relationship!

This happened to me once when I was housesitting. The house had external metal security screen door that locked and regular doors with deadbolts. It wasn’t the greatest neighborhood with lots of (usually) harmless homeless people hanging around so I always double checked that every door )including the heavy duty metal…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *deep breath* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Holy crap.

The real people stories are always the scariest. Always.

Haha sorry! :P I tell my partner he’ll be the first to disappear in a horror movie because it’s like... “Hmm, a weird noise, lemme go check that out! Oh, abandoned building, cool let’s see if it’s freaky! A strange witch lady, Imma go insult her!”

the scariest stories don’t involve the supernatural...

I have zero scary stories because every time anything gets remotely spooky I nope out, or grab a cricket bat and DEAL WITH IT. I will not be the queer who always dies in a horror movie.

I was recently staying at a wellness resort retreat in the desert. I don’t want to say the name because it’s truly delightful, but it’s like one of those place where white women go to do yoga and eat organic food and get Ayurveda massages. They also have a lot of things there that would maybe be considered mysticism.…

I like spooky things, but I wouldn’t consider myself a big believer of the supernatural. In fact, if this hadn’t happened to me, I would easily write all ghost stories off to be just that - stories. But it did, and for 30 years it has lingered in the back of my mind “was that real?”.

This is so much better than the impeachment. THANK YOU
