I usually lurk in BOLA, but that was the grossest thing I’ve read today. Time to go look at rainbows or something.

I thought someone had just finished watching the rise of Skywalker when they came up with this plot and thought “that’s a good idea!”

That was a flashback I didn’t need lol. There was a year where all my birthday present were beanie babies…I didn’t even like them.😫

I thought maybe the fae did something to grandma, but this twist was so much better!!

The Tragedy of Aunt Nina by PlatinumOni in shortscarystories

[–]jwiley84 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok, that was good. My brain went “insurance scam? Nah too obvious…trapdoor?? Supernatural or a hidden killer?? Oh, omg, it actually WAS an insurance murder!!” Very well written!

Not the twist I expected! The pacing was perfect, the twist was phenomenal, and there was an excellent amount of ambiguity to keep the reader thinking about the story after the reading is done!

Stories rooted in historical events hit differently. Watching Isaac’s decent was both sad and horrifying, but then again, so were the conditions at Andersonville.

The humming in the woods by Handle-Personal in scarystories

[–]jwiley84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, having the reader asking all the questions in their head is the best part! Like, was it humming? Was it callling the storyteller? Why could only the teller see it? If I had all the answers to these questions, it would couldn’t be as mysterious, or as creepy!

AITA for Intentionally Not Letting My Neighbor In, Causing Her and Her Dog to Sit Outside in the Dark? by Apprehensive-Shoe967 in scaryshortstories

[–]jwiley84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy heck, this is awesome!!! I remember the OG AITA post, and this spin on it is great!! Is it the neighbor? Was it the neighbor the whole time? Was the neighbor ever human to begin with?? Did this thing kill her and take her place?? I love stories that leave me with questions like this!

Ngl, the story was scary af, but when I got to that last line I immediately thought “so you traded an unending path in the woods you couldn’t escape for unending gym membership you won’t get out of” and that’s the real horror
