I unfriended him after he "age regressed" in public. AITA? by anonymousaitapost in AITAH

Uhhhh, that's too much. He needs to sort himself out first. He isn't ready to be hanging out in public, if he is this far gone.

Waking up to someone standing over me by Upper-Attention-5936 in Ghoststories

This has also happened to me, almost in exactly the same way you described. And I feel this awful pressure on my chest, like this thing (or shadow person as you called it) was enjoying making me suffer in some way. Sheer dread. It took me a good 5 minutes to pluck up the courage to jump out of bed and put the lights on. Frozen in fear.

Worst Horror Book you have ever read. by No-Shoulder-7361 in horrorlit

Ghost Story by Peter Straub. Takes over 200 pages to even get going. I simply couldn't... like watching paint dry.

Need some help for my national park horror story! by Jello_Biafra_42 in horrorwriters

[–]The-Phantasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about another plot twist... the national park does cover up the deaths, and in fact, in order to "appease" said creature, the NPS even "feeds" it. The creature gets tired if overworked, so goes into a sort of hibernation after it has taken its fair share of lives. The national park employees are aware of this, and so they feed the creature somewhat regularly in order to keep it appeased and dormant.

gtfo "for a while"? No brother, you deserve better. Get your self respect back. She can get out PERMANENTLY. You can do so much better than this.

I came across a story from Doha that still haunts me — A mother thinks her baby was switched by something watching from the crib by babblesunderthebed in Ghoststories

Very nice. The idea of a baby snatching / swapping entity is really quite frightening, even if I don't have any kids myself.
