In the summer of 2008, my now husband Adam and I got engaged. Our relationship had been a bit of a whirlwind and in the week following our engagement, we went on a mini break with his extended family, who had come over from the States to the UK to stay in a big Air BnB type property; a period farmhouse in the…

This took place three years ago when my now-6 year old daughter was turning 3, and made her famous (infamous?) at my hair salon.

Girl. Guuurrrlllll. I am not a marriage counselor, by any means. But sweetie, you gotta go. Whether he’s got repressed jealousy issues, or on something you have no privy knowledge of, or is psychologically compromised in such a way that he could be compromised by an outside (demonic?) force, you cannot abide with…

My grandfather (George) was raised in a very prominent family in Central Kentucky in a home that my Great Great Aunt Lucy and her husband Roy (death 1980’s) had lived in until her death in the early 2000’s.

When I was about 12 years old, my dad took my brother and me to Vegas for a weekend one summer for some inexplicable reason (male bonding?), even though I was too young (and already too gay) for strippers and couldn’t gamble. My brother was older, so he and my dad spent the day gambling at Caesar’s Palace (where we…

This is not a supernatural story and it does have a happy ending. (the other one posted here, my mom claims is supernatural).

When I was in college, there was a well-known peeping Tom who would often be seen staring through women’s windows. Many students lived off campus in rented houses, including me, and this was the area he habituated, though I never saw him looking through my window. Then he escalated to breaking into women’s houses and…

In the late 1960s, my mom lived with her parents and three sisters in a ranch-style house in a middle-class neighborhood. Throughout the summer, the neighborhood had been plagued with a series of strange nocturnal incidents - dogs growled inexplicably, back gates were left open, outdoor items were moved around. A few…

one would think.

It’s telling that the majority of these objectively terrifying stories are set in the real world this year, and the threat comes from men, not ghosts. 

Crazy Demon Tree story!

My other post was embarrassing and real-life, so I separated the one that’s emotional and possibly-supernatural.

Medium creepy story, but very affecting part of my life...

Follow up: just now, thinking about this story, I went to look at the registry of deeds for the town I grew up in. They’ve got everything digitized now, so I was able to look up the closing paperwork for the house. There, my parents both signed, as did a notary, but the witness section?

This one isn’t mine, but my mom’s. She told it to me a few years ago, when my husband and I bought our house; it’s the story of how my parents got my childhood home.

Right?! I live alone. A few days after, FB memories reminded me of a dream I had about a priest committing suicide in my bathroom.

I never post so I don’t know if anyone will see this but, a few weeks ago, I came home to this. That is not my hand.

It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeeaaaaarrrrr.... (by which I mean the time I read these until I am too terrified to cross my living room to the bathroom)

That is AMAZING. I wish I knew where to get something like that here in Hungary.
