“Trespassing”

Y’all can try, but nothing is going to beat that “Look at me” story from a few years ago. That one fucked me UP.

I like spooky things, but I wouldn’t consider myself a big believer of the supernatural. In fact, if this hadn’t happened to me, I would easily write all ghost stories off to be just that - stories. But it did, and for 30 years it has lingered in the back of my mind “was that real?”.

It’s a joke, as the “pumpkin seed story” was probably the freakiest poop story you’ve ever heard. As I recall, a lady ate one or two pounds of pumpkin seeds, and they came out . . . all at once, along with everything else that was backed in behind it.

Still no scarier Jez story than the pumpkin seed story.

I got into a fight with my boyfriend one night. For some reason we left my apartment to go to his new place we were both moving into even though there wasn’t any furniture in it it. We argued more and boned on the floor and argued more and then decided we should go back to my place so we could sleep in a bed. We were…

Two stories to share, if that’s OK.

I was too late with my submission last year, so here goes...

I’m doxxing myself because my friends all know this story. I waited until daytime to write it because it scares me so much.

The scariest thing that ever happened to me was not supernatural which is odd because I grew up in a haunted house. But it was a house that was haunted by an old lady ghost who would do things for me like get me a glass of juice or if I sat up in my bed in the middle of the night and asked for it. Not like she’d bring…

“Grandma, was that really you?”

In college, and still now (nearly 6 years out) I worked at a haunted summer camp.

Ok. My story is from 2016. I don’t know that it’s strictly scary, or at least, I wasn’t particularly scared at any point but it is creepy. For background on me, sometimes I feel things but I don’t usually SEE things.

My father has always been a history buff, specifically interested in The Battle of Little Bighorn. He began collecting items related to that time in history when I was in Jr. High, including uniforms, swords, a battle flag, letters and photos. He now frequently loans out to museums and historical societies, but for…

I posted this late last year so it got buried in the comments, but I still think it’s a great story.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

THANK YOU. God damn, she is so painfully dumb.

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

This isn’t a new thing. I remember all the shit that Gabby Douglas got at the Olympics, mostly from older black women, for not having perfectly styled hair. Girl is doing a back flip on a piece of wood 4 inches wide and landing on one foot, who gives a fuck what her hair looks like?

It’s been a minute since Brad Pitt did anything that made me proud of him, but I’ll take this. He seems to be a genuinely nice person, once all the self-aggrandizing bullshit of celebrity is washed away. I went to school with one of his cousins and from all accounts their family is as functional as any in rural…

If you mean she only exists in this world so we can define her by the men she dates, then yes.
