Yeah, I thought they were supposed to be real as well.

There’s only three requirements for submission, and one of them is that the story has to be true. So how does stuff like this end up “winning”? Makes me sad and angry. Sangry?

Booooooooooooo

Yaaaaay! This is my favorite thing Jezebel does all year. In case anyone else is like me and can’t get enough of these stories, I posted these links before, and am reposting for posterity:

Ah man I cant believe I missed the window to submit. Honestly I look forward to this every year. Might as well write mine here in case anyone wants additional reading.

Not only that, but the majority of the staff agreed it was the scariest one.

It made my day that my submission got picked! I both thank and resent my friend for sharing her terrifying story with me.

“We didn’t have an armoire.”

No fucking way.

This. I have some violent stuff that turns me on (and I have a theory that some people tend to be turned on by what terrifies them so it’s a little more complicated than wish fulfillment/serial killer desires, but...) WHY OH WHY would you drive someone out to the country and scare the shit out of them like that?

Uhhhhh there’s nothing okay about telling someone about your violent fetish after you’ve isolated them in your home. If he was really in touch with his kink in a healthy way, he would have known that.

He sounded pretty intent on experiencing this so who knows? So glad you are okay!

I did. If I remember correctly, I posted it pretty late and it was stuck towards the bottom. I wanted to post it earlier this year. I promise no more reruns next year!

A few years ago, my then-3 year old had a fever which I was treating with baby Tylenol. I gave him his dose before bed, got distracted and walked into his room to see him holding the medicine bottle in one hand and the dropper in the other saying “I give myself a medicine!!”

To be fair, I imagine blacklight doesn’t distinguish between fluids, so it could also be covered with jizz!

I did! I posted it way late in the game though and don’t think it got many views. I wanted to jump on it this year because it’s so freaky!

I can’t remember if I posted last year about this, but probably not. Nearly a year ago I was in the hospital when these stories were posted. I couldn’t read them all because I was in the midst of a haunting episode and, being in the hospital, I couldn’t leave. You see, I was in a private room, but I wasn’t alone.

Had I seen that I would have had a lovely surprise too... in my pants.

I told this last year but I will tell it again. My family and I moved into the house we live in when my son was a year and a half. We didn’t know much about the house’s history, but some of our neighbors said something about a doctor having operated some sort of practice in the finished basement front room, although I…

It always seems like a good idea at the time. Until I’m several in and freaked out but also can’t stop
