Let me just preface this by saying I’m not a writer so please bear with me…

I have four children with child #2 being an oddball ever since he was born. He’s also very skinny/lanky compared to his siblings.. just all arms legs, feet and hands.

The fact that she was so large is TERRIFYING. 

SAAAAME. 😁

In 1988 I was 12 years old, and in this year shopping malls were extremely popular across my country, being filled with adults but mostly kids and teenagers all day long. Me and my three-years-older-than-me sister used to go to the largest one in our town with a fixed simple plan: we would go to the mall together,…

911 From the Other Side 

I’ve written about the house I live in before  (https://jezebel.com/1849648358). It’s the family home, built just after WWII. It’s been haunted and had weird things happen in and around it my whole life.

Back in the early aughts, I had been dating my now-husband for a few months. We drove out to my parents’ house, where my sister and her three children were also visiting for the day. My sister’s youngest daughter was probably about 3 at the time. My boyfriend went outside to have a cigarette, and the kids were playing…

So, I lost my best friend Pete. He was my grade level partner at the school where we taught, my professional and personal sounding board. Pete knew how to reveal my insecurities as paper tigers (when he wasn’t inciting them) and gently mock me until I relinquished my bad moods. We recited poems, debated about cynical…

Many a time, but oddly despite he high school rumors and stories, never saw a Satanist, cannibal, or ghosts. We did almost roll over the aforementioned Bronco there once though. 

Long ago, before everyone had dating apps on their phone, us gay boys would sit at our desktop computers and try and meet guys for sex on sites like Manhunt and DudesNude.

We bought our house 12 years ago in a typical suburban neighborhood, nothing super exciting. After we moved in, the neighbors started coming over to introduce themselves and tell us a bit about the previous owners (the owner’s daughter was the one we met at the closing, and all she had told us was that her father had…

The panic-babble of “Someone is coming out of the pond at night and trying to get into the house and getting the back patio all muddy and it’s not ducks!” is TOO REAL!!!

My sophomore year of college I moved out of an awkward rooming situation and was set up in a temporary “emergency single” that the university kept open. After the ordeal I had with my former roommates, I was excited to have a room all to myself.

Aunt Mary Doesn’t Believe!

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…

Decided to share a second story this year. This one happened to me in maybe the late 90s/early 00s.

About 25 years ago I worked for a couple of years in a very old office building located in the center of a large city in Texas. Built in 1907, the original part of the building was a former home for confederate women (widows of confederate soldiers). After all the widows died and the building sat empty for several…

First of all- Squeeeeeeeeee! My favorite article/comments section of the year! Now, on to the story...

I always love staying at historic hotels, which usually come with at least one ghost story. I was psyched when my spouse’s friend had a wedding in Lewisburg, WV and booked a block of rooms for guests at the historic General Lewis Inn. Of course I googled around for ghost stories in advance - the hotel is known to have…
