live a few miles from the Hoosac Tunnel. Google it. It was quite a feat for the mid nineteenth century. It’s about six miles and blacker than space in there. At the center is a hollowed out space called “the hotel” where workers slept off shift. More than one engineer has reported a swinging lantern on the tracks as…

I used to be the head mechanic on an aircraft carrier for the forward engine room. In port, we generally will have a single Cold Iron Watch. Their job is to just take logs and walk around. Its a very boring job. You are in an engine room that is about four stories tall, completely by yourself. No one to talk to. You…

In case my power gets taken out by Ophelia and people want context on abuse by Christian Brothers in Irish schools The National Board On Safeguarding Children found 870 reports of abuse against 325 different Christian Brothers and those were just reported cases. There wouldn’t be any Christian Brothers actually…

We had the world’s sweetest, friendliest, most nonconfrontational Husky in the world when I was a kid. Like, we used to joke that the house would be broken into and he’d just lick the robber’s hand. None of us had ever seen even a hint of aggression out of him, until the pest control company sent out a new guy to…

My mom ran off the ghost that haunted my room for years. She didn’t die to do it though. I had night terrors constantly as a little kid. We lived in this old camp that my parents made into a house. I had the only original bedroom. Every night I’d wake up screaming. I still remember at one point being so afraid of this…

So I moved around a lot when I grew up, but there was one house in particular that was very very much haunted.  

LNM is stories from the Lets not Meet subreddit about encounters with weird/creepy people. Its a simple concept but very well executed. Each episode is about 30 minutes and includes 3 stories tied together by a theme. However, the creator has done a couple of special episodes including an old-timey radio play. Also,…

I have to claim PTSD on this one, I never actually realized what happened until years later. I was 17, pregnant, going to school full time and working two jobs. I took the city bus every day from my community college to first job, around 12 every day. My bus driver was adorable-definitely a Grandpa-type, friendliest…

Lore is excellent, and the show is starting this week on Amazon Prime!

True story. Also, trigger warning, I guess.

I have never seen a ghost. I have not received repeated phone calls from disconnected numbers. Weird things do not generally happen to me.

Ohh I remember something from my child hood as well that I’ve never forgotten.

Okay, I’ve tried to post this one a couple times, but it always gets buried. Maybe I’m in early enough this year?

If you like that, try All Killa No Filla. Similar but British.

duuuuude, that’s terrifying. Reminds me of last year, in September before the election, I was getting gas at my usual station and this huge rumbling pickup covered in Trump stickers pulls up to the pump across from me. The guy gets out, and standing just three feet away, makes full eye contact and lights a cigarette.…

So when I was around 6 years old I slept with this old, mustard yellow blanket. And every night I would have a dream about a monster that would creep into my room, stop at the end of my bed, and eat the blanket. In the morning the blanket was gone, when I got home from school the blanket was back. This went on for…

Ok here’s my contribution and I hope it gets me ungreyed because it’s 100% true and scary as fuck.

Lore is becoming a tv series on Amazon Prime!

Every year I hope Sorcia McNasty will post another story. The murder truck is my all-time favorite!
