This is the same Israeli government that equates periodically slaughtering thousands of innocent Gazans to some moderate yardwork, right? Despicable.

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people…

Ice Storm

I live for this this time of year! I always look forward to reading these spooky stories. I noticed the contest started alot earlier than usual and sadly, it doesn’t get the same front page announcement like in the past; I had to search for it.

Let me just preface this by saying I’m not a writer so please bear with me…

I have four children with child #2 being an oddball ever since he was born. He’s also very skinny/lanky compared to his siblings.. just all arms legs, feet and hands.

This could’ve ended up much spookier if it weren’t for my college apartment mates.

I had the great delight, many years ago, to be able to stay at a villa in Menorca. It was a beautiful old adobe building built in the 1600's. There was a brick oven and a small outdoor pool looking out over an orange grove. My boyfriend’s Polish parents, long since passed, had bought it back in the 50's and the family…

Growing up we always had a ton of cats, and I came to view them as protectors since our home was very chaotic. I could always grab a cat and detach from all the chaos around me.

In high school I worked at a small health food store to make extra money. The summer before I started college we had a customer who started coming in once a month to pick up a special order of a crate of milk. Since I was working in the perishables department I would be to help him with his order. He was a younger guy…

Growing up, both of my parents worked so they dropped me off before school at a daycare attached to the elementary school I went to.

This happened to me recently and honestly it was the most terrifying thing that has actually happened directly to me. I am pretty sure the ghost of a Native American woman tried to kill me.

As an anxious child, I’d wake up several times overnight to use the bathroom. This happened so often and for so long that my parents forbid me from turning on the lights because it would wake them up. 

I live in Wales, and the Welsh word for grandfather is Tadcu. My daughter has sadly never known either of her grandfathers as they passed away before she was born. My father had polio as a child, and as a consequence lived with a very pronounced limp for the rest of his life, having to wear an orthopaedic shoe.…

In 1988 I was 12 years old, and in this year shopping malls were extremely popular across my country, being filled with adults but mostly kids and teenagers all day long. Me and my three-years-older-than-me sister used to go to the largest one in our town with a fixed simple plan: we would go to the mall together,…

911 From the Other Side 

This was one of the most terrifying moments in my life to date, and could easily have ended quite differently.

Won’t let me edit:

This might not be as scary as others, but it freaked me out and I’ve waited a whole year to share. Last year, there was a story in the Top 10 about a Black Dog at Army Camp. The poster talked about going to the river to watch a meteor shower. I know where that is. I’ve been there, taken my kids to swim in the river…

...and the named the child “Elon”....
