“The historical unity of the ruling classes is realized in the state.”

Aaack no

At the end of this summer, I had quite a decent Facebook Marketplace addiction, and I was sporadically zipping out to drop off or pick up random items.

The summer before moving away to college my best friend and I decided to take fun day trips around the state to spend time together, as we would be attending different universities. We’d been hiking at different state parks for most of the day and decided to stop at one last place for a quick hike. This park is well…

Wow. Not even scared just sobbing at work now lol how tragic and touching 

Been a rough week here. I’m teary-eyed over the thought of a mom singing to her children to calm them during the crash. 

My sister and her husband are foster parents to two little girls, and have two biological children of their own. They are hoping to adopt the girls but needed a bigger house for that to be a possibility. They started searching and found a giant house that used to be owned by a group of priests in the area. They housed…

I posted this story last year, but I was sort of late in my submission and it ended up buried about 5,000 comments down. Now, two days into the contest and there’s already 365 comments! Well, here’s hoping it gets seen this year.

This happened when I was around 13 or 14. My dad had recently passed away, so it was just me, my mom, and my 5-years-younger brother. After my dad died, my mom became really adamant about always keeping the doors locked all the time, even though we lived in a safe, quiet neighborhood in a safe, quiet Alaskan town. I…

I grew up in a small town and as a teenager around the age of 16. I used to do a lot of housesitting and petsitting for people at the small neighborhood church I attended. It was an easy way to get money AND get out of the house for a bit. The couple I was housesitting for this night, was a bit odd but nice enough;…

Creepy Footsteps

“Without a Whisper”

A few years ago, I had a great job: It was my first office job, and it was in my field of study. I got along great with all my colleagues, we had a lot of fun together, and I learned so much working there.

I had to make a burner for this so it’ll prob stay in the greys.

Mine’s short and sweet. Not so much a ghost, as a visitation.

Mom was always a birdwatcher and particularly loved cardinals. She would repeat as often as she could that they mated for life. We had a series of them nest in the forsythia bush outside our porch and watched several generations of babies raised while I was…

Way, way back in the 1980’s, when all phone lines were ‘landlines’, answering machines were rare, and caller ID was not available, I was in Grade 11, home alone, and at the mercy of a persistent prank caller.

Most people don’t believe in ghosts. I didn’t, but after I had my baby, everything changed. I now know for sure there are things we cannot see that exist. My paranormal sensitivity intensified...something wanted my attention. It started when my partner (“M”) woke up in the middle of the night and yelled. He said he…

This happened pretty recently. I found an old neighbor on the street one day with a bloody face. He had fallen over while walking his dog and couldn’t get up. I called 911 and hung around to see if he got admitted to the hospital, offering to keep his dog if so. He didn’t but I checked on him a few days later, worried…

Not scary, but a couple of happy paranormal (?) bits.

Hooray! Mine’s not-so-scary, so you can read it while your underwear is in the wash:
