I read it, and it was great!

Your mom is the sweetest and most useful ghost ever. I love this story :)

Given some of your language describing other humans in this post, I think you likely got the day karma planned for you.  Google ableism, then rethink your post.

Uh, I think I know why she hasn’t been back and it doesn’t have anything to do with some shit on the sidewalk. You seem fun and not at all judgmental.

this is a scary story contest

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.

we were removed enough to see deer in our yard every now and then

I mean the ghost stories on this thread are always stupid but this one is literally about a woman who could not avoid the Noid. 

The house where I grew up was pretty new - way newer than any of the other houses on the block. A typical one-story ranch house that you might see in any stretch of American suburbia. Likewise, all the furniture in the house was pretty par for the course. My room had a little-kid bed, a nightstand, a table and chairs…

What the fuck, Hamburger.
