I think it’s that they didn’t actually let Michael Sam play. They cut him before the season began, so he was the first openly gay man *drafted* into the NFL, but this guy is the first *active player* in the NFL.

White folks kill me with their self-appointed and unwanted deputization of unknown authority. I find it ironic that they wanted to protect the children but then used words that they probably don’t want their kids to use - hard to tell with them as they get cussed out by the kids starting usually around 6-7th grade. I…

That is the look and posture of a man who understands he’s one comment away from catching hands for a whole group of Karens. lol

“clueless, hueless and now-swimming pool-less” and “Gentrifier from the block”....

I grew up in an old Victorian and certain windows used to do that, especially the one in my parents’ bedroom! It has something to do with the old sashes and weights in the window, but if you didn’t lock the top, it would jump up exactly like that. You could get it to stay down briefly, but not for long.  For the same…

Fuckkkkkk this was awesome but I definitely got goosebumps lol. I submitted this as part of my scary story last year but I’ll share it again because my story is very similar! Teacher to Teacher.

I have a treasure trove of weird stories. I’m “that friend” for ghost problems, bad ju-ju in your house, all that stuff. I did college ghost hunting (which went well in hand with being a reinactor — you get a good sense for the historical and the legendary, and you learn what stuff could be plausible in old houses as…

People tell you he may have been “just checking out the house” as though that’s not a sketchy thing to do? Should we expect tradespeople to wander through our houses, exploring all the floors, opening hard-to-open doors because they’re just curious? Bloody hell.

This proper upset me because I had my own old, clingy senior citizen situation this summer! We even met the same way, he fell at the end of the my drive and cut his hand really bad, and actually our postwoman (I live in a rural town, we know who delivers our mail) came to my door to ask if we could help bc she knows…

The summer of 2014, I got a sublet in a Midwest college town to escape my family drama and to live with my partner Alex. We took over the rent for the college student who was living at home during the summer, and she told us that her current roommate would be returning to the apartment in a month. Alex and I spent the…

When In New Orleans

I have one this year!! This really isn’t even all that scary, but it was weird, and it happened at the start of Shelter in Place this April.

A couple of years ago my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At first, I took time off of work to take her to appointments and my dad did the best he could when I couldn’t be around. Unfortunately my dad had Parkinson’s and his condition was deteriorating under the stress and he became less able to help. So toward…

This story comes from my dad, who is basically the absolute coolest. He spent his 20s traveling all over the world. He would live in a place for a while, crashing wherever and working odd jobs, then he’d move on to a new city, or state or country. He has truly incredible stories and he loves to tell them. But he has…

It was worse because I was alone. And on our way out of the park we stopped at a bat cave that you couldn’t access, but could look into. It smelled awful. There was a map there that showed the network of caves beneath the park and that really freaked me out. 

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.

SCARY STORY TIME!

This is the scariest story I know.

I was recently driving home from work on a nice sunny evening. The stretch of road this happened on is a slightly uphill, very long block of a parkway, with a very wide (maybe 40 yards wide), sparsely treed median to my right. Since then I’ve tried to count about how long this entire event took and it was probably…

I post every year cause I’ve lived quite the haunted life. Last year I posted about phantom smells and wanted to do an update on that, briefly.
