If I'm on that jury, and Weinstein is staring at me...I'm voting to convict on general principles. Does he think he intimidates anyone? 

I’ve also heard that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders also have professionally applied makeup, which makes their faces look prettier than they actually do.

One time I wanted to read the spooky stories contest on a popular website but the editors chose to format it as a slide show for some reason and it was so scary I left.

Someone remind me why we still have cheerleaders for anything at all? Can we really not move past this? Wait, stupid question, my bad. I forgot to look outside my window at the other half of humanity before I asked that.

I looked into this. It’s to make the cheerleaders appear more physically attractive.

Not my story, but my Mother’s (and my Aunts). I have permission to relay.

I posted late sometime in one of the Halloweens of the pandemic blur but was inspired to post again because it feels like there aren’t as many this year? Getting the creeps already thinking about this.

Ghost didn’t think anyone was home, had to go back into stealth mode when they realized you were.

My brother died suddenly at the beginning of summer. He had recently remarried, and after the funeral, which took place on a beautifully sunny day that he would have loved, his widow held a gathering for family and friends. Her brother and his wife, whom I had only met briefly twice, were present. The sister-in-law is…

My mom’s *crazy*.

A few evenings ago, my three-year old son was staring past me with a furrowed brow and asked who was the scary lady with black hair who lived in the bookcase? I damn near pissed myself. I looked and nothing was there, fortunately. He asked again last night who was the dark lady in the bookshelf, and my blood ran cold.…

Poor astral projection brother, give him a hug.

Um, it’s literally trying to kill your husband?? Like, get OUT of there!! Also, you felt pure evil from the knife sharpener and you just…gave it away to someone else?! My god.

Related: I used to get a terrible, dark vibe coming from my bedroom closet as a kid. My parents would assure me nothing was wrong, and it is normal for kids to be scared like that. On long nights when I felt so much terror that I couldn’t sleep, I would chant-whisper “I love you Jesus, I love you Jesus” until I would…

“Prey response” gave me shivers! Great story!

My first thought is angel, as well. It’s said that angels aren’t actually the human-type forms that we depict them in paintings, etc - that they’re actually just forms of pure, crystalized light, but since our human minds couldn’t comprehend them during earliest sightings, we perceived those shapes of lights as wings,…

I think this is my first story! And it’s not scary, so much as sweet. And if anyone I know reads this thread, hi, it’s definitely me.

Burning Holes from Beyond

My husband, at-the-time-6 month old son (Forrest), and I were visiting his family at a small lake in Missouri for the 4^th of July this year. I’m not going to give the name because it was pretty small and I’m not trying to blow anyone up with unwanted attention. We rented an Airbnb with my MIL and FIL to have a place…

This is about an uncle who was a real-life rocket scientist. He worked on the rocket fuel formula that got men to the moon. He was my favourite uncle, my father figure as my own was indifferent to me at best. It was a horrible shock when he got colon cancer. He married into my father’s family but was such a good guy…
