THE ELDRITCH HORROR OF A TOWNIE OUT OF GAS!!!

You’re out of the greys!

I like this story :) I want to live in a cool old house with an eternal protector!

Creepy, real life story, in the woods:

This isn’t my story, but a friend’s. Still, it’s a comforting ghost story, and I always appreciate seeing one or two of those in a thread like this.

When I got out of undergrad in 2003 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I started working as a painter...of houses. (my job prospects were a different sort of horror story). This one guy I worked for did a lot of historic renovation. He told me that one time they were working on an old Victorian house (of which there…

I’m currently in my late 20s. When I was younger, I lived with my Mexican grandparents for some time. Of course being Latino I grew up hearing all the ghost stories (because every Mexican grandparent has seen/interacted with a ghost). I’m positive I’ve heard every version of la llorona and el cucuy and the lady with…

When I was twelve years old, my mother took me to a friend’s dinner party in his farmhouse. We were in Gadsden County, North Florida, out in the country. Our host had turned down the lights and there were candles everywhere. Over simple conversation someone asked me, in that special Southern way, where my people were…

No one will wade through 1500+ comments to read this, but I’ll share anyway. Mr. Level, the Level kids and I moved into a new-to-us home about 3 years ago. We purchased the house from a completely lovely couple, whom I’ll call Sam and Janice. This house is just a rambling sprawl; nearly every square inch of basement…

The creepiest thing that ever happened to me happened in Scotland. Having Scottish ancestry and also greatly interested in Scottish history, was very interested in the Jacobite uprising that was eventually crushed at Culloden. As an undergrad, I found an opportunity to study in Ediburgh, Scotland, and getting up to…

Maybe this isn’t exactly the stuff nightmares are made of, but it sure spooked me!

This isn’t my story, but my cousin Matt swears this happened to him and his wife in Bellingham, WA a few years ago. At first I didn’t believe him, as we tell scary stories every year at our annual beach family vacation, but I’ve asked him a couple of times when it was just him and I if it is true, and he assures me it…

Lunch hour at the Library

Last year my husband and I moved into a very old brownstone in the Philadelphia. The house was built in 1860, and is now divided into 6 apartments. Ours is an Edgar Allan Poe story come to life - I was immediately drawn to its 14-foot ceilings with intricate molding, wood floors, fireplaces, tiny carved wooden…

A friend of mine moved into a house with a bunch of friends when she was in college. Right after she moved in, they were all out in class/running errands except for one girl. The girl that was alone at the house took a selfie and sent it to their group text, and all the other girls started making fun of her for having…

I know this is probably going to go straight to the greys (why did I work today? ;-;) and no one will ever read it, but here goes......

I’ll share one of my own now. It’s not really scary, but more creepy. I moved last summer and was living by myself for the first time. Things seemed pretty normal around the house at first, but slowly, strange things started happening. When I came home, a light would be on that I swore I turned off when I left the…

So this is going to be a long one but here it goes!

I suppose this story can be read as either creepy or comforting, depending on your point of view.

This story happened to my mother who loves to go to the Nashville flea markets.
