When I was 6 (1981 California), I had an experience with a Raggedy Andy doll. It was terrifying. In my teens during spooky story time at hangouts I would tell the story. The part of my experience that led 6 year old me to finally scream became the jump scare part in my retelling. I would jump up to a person near me,…

Though not naturally an outdoorsy person, I was proud of the camping and hiking skills I’d developed in my four years at a New England college - I’d even co-led a trip in Maine! So when my roommate and I decided to do a just-us overnight hiking trip in November, I wasn’t worried.

Not necessarily super spooky, but it really scared me at the time!

why don’t they just come out & say, “a clump of cells is more important than a woman.”  stop dancing around it.

There’s a reason why my cover of, “Oh, Darling!” has six views on YouTube.

I left the Daily Show decades ago, but you don’t see me putting out a press release about it.

This might not be as scary as others, but it freaked me out and I’ve waited a whole year to share. Last year, there was a story in the Top 10 about a Black Dog at Army Camp. The poster talked about going to the river to watch a meteor shower. I know where that is. I’ve been there, taken my kids to swim in the river…

Not me, but a friend from school— we were all attending school in a small Canadian city where there are quite a lot of colleges and universities for its size, so lots of young people and parties/ bars, etc. My friend lived alone in a one bedroom ground floor apartment with a patio with a door that locked and a front…

Long time reader, first time posting a story. This happened when I was around 6-7 years old. My older sister (we’ll call her Marie) had a lot of behavioral problems that, maybe in a different family, would have been recognized for what they were and treated with compassion and real resources. But instead it was our…

Drew is dangerously untalented.  The weakest link in any project I’ve seen her in.  Seriously.  Or did I miss a swath of her amazing work?

He is so tedious going through customs, though. Saying “I have nothing to declare but my genius” was funny once.

A very good boy?

When I had just turned 6 years old, my family moved from our home town to a larger suburb in a state several hours away. I was still 5 when my parents took me with them to look at the house they would end up buying, and while we were walking through, the little girl whose parents were selling the house invited me to…

First, I’m not a skeptic, but I am very skeptical. Our animals with both stop, stare, ears perked at the same spot in our home, and I will jokingly say you guys see a ghost? My wife will claim its her grandmother but were in new construction so who knows. So while I am not a firm believer I have seen a ghost but it…

Not sure how scary this is, but here goes - a psychic cat lady story:
