My grandfather is a minister and is a super spiritual person and has had all kinds of creepy shit happen to him. One of them involved my parents. They were visiting my grandparents several states away before I was born and were discussing a book called “Ghosts of the Civiil War” while at my grandparents’ house and my…

Two somewhat similar situations happened with me and my three sisters. Growing up I had a recurring nightmare about being chased in an unfamiliar but distinct house and escaping through a secret passageway in a particular closet. A few years ago the four of us were chatting and the topic of childhood nightmares came…

OMGGGG that 911 call story FREAKED me OUT.

A kind of Halloweenish and funny little thing happened this week: when I got back from work one evening Mimimister asked me if I’d dreamt about vampires lately. He then told me that the night before, once I’d already been asleep for a couple of hours and he came to bed, I…

Hamburger was robbed.

Just as a late entry, I’m about 25 years older than my youngest sister, and I was babysitting her one day when I heard the door open and close.

This is pretty far from the same thing, and not exactly scary, but once my sister and I both had the same dream at the same time. In it, we were in the one tree of the backyard of a house our dad was living in at the time. We looked up and saw a very angry squirrel, which then started coming down the tree at us so we…

The story of the house with doll magazines and the story about the armoire reminded me of something I haven’t though about in years.

I’ve had a couple weird encounters over the years, but this was definitely the most uniquely bizarre.

As a “ghost story” mine is very tame, but I’m not a believer in the paranormal and this is the one thing that has ever made me go “Well, that is weird.”

My only encounter with something eerie happened 2 years ago. I had just undergone an appendectomy, and was staying at my then boyfriend’s apartment to recuperate. I was sleeping on the couch downstairs at that time because it was easier and more comfortable to positon myself. My boyfriend had always joked that his…

A quick etch-a-sketch shake it off from alllllllllllll of the fears skittering about your brains (I know bc I have been mentally addled from reading too many of these this week - eek!)

My mom and her siblings were walking home from church at night in rural Mississippi the early ‘50s. They were talking and laughing but quieted down when they saw someone in the dark approaching them on the opposite side of the road.

This is a scary/funny story (not ghostly)....

Ok, I’ll throw my hat in the ring: my first apartment when I moved to Chicago was in kind of a bad neighborhood. I wound up there partly because I didn’t know the city very well and partly because I couldn’t afford much. The guys in the building next door dealt all kind of drugs including heroin and they were always…

That happened to an ex of mine before her and I got together. Her and her roommate had been out drinking and at 6 AM her dogs starts to freak out (which he never did). Eventualy she gets up, and sees someone didnt now in her living room. She screamed. He said “don’t mind me” as he walked out the front door. Turn s…

I have one, and missed the original post (by the time I tuned in, there were already 1500+ comments so I figured it’d be buried and didn’t comment). But here it is now!

I posted this on the submission thread but I was too late for anyone to read it so here it is again:

I’ll share a brief everyday horror which happened to a friend.

Oops, missed the cutoff, but here’s mine:

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I submitted mine too late sadly and it got buried. Here it is if anyone would like to read it:
