Ghost At My Sisters House
My wife and I were staying with my sister for the night. The kids had gone to her parents house and having been married with children, we had no So we were hanging with our sister. We’re getting ready for bed and my wife and I were fighting over a single sink as we were brushing our teeth. The door to the hallway was open and I’m staring at myself in the mirror as I brush away. I then see my sister-in-law walk past me wearing a white skirt and pants, not three feet away from me. Mind you, and go down the hallway towards the living room and the kitchen. Now the layer of this House means that anyone and everyone needs to go down this hallway by the bathroom to move between the bedrooms and the kitchen and the living room. So, knowing that my sister-in-law had traveled that way and being kind of * **** I figured I could sneak up on her and scare the crap out of her. So I leave the bathroom and head on down towards the living room. No one is in the living room, so I head sneakily towards the kitchen knowing that this is the only run she could be in. I jump yelling loudly out in the kitchen. And there’s no one there. The only other place she could have gone is out into the garage, so knowing my year would have even alerted her, I walk over to the garage and noticed that the deadbolt is still engaged. I turn the lock open and close it again. Pondering what the hell is going on. Just as I’m doing so, a hand touches my back and I nearly **** my pants. Turning around so violently, I nearly punched my wife in the

Weighing the Options
The skin on my back tightened like the outside of a sausage under the grill as the late afternoon sun beat down on me. I rolled my shoulders, feeling each muscle tense and release. I mentally counted them off; traps, delts, lats, biceps, pecs. I’d concentrated on them last night, and with today’s work they were sore again. I’d been working all the hours I could to make ends meet. Nicole just kept asking for more and more, but it was for my daughter, she said. My girl, Cara, had always been a sickly child, and since Nicole had kicked me out, it seemed Cara was just getting worse. I couldn’t say no if it was for my little princess.

The Legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman
This urban legend originates in Japan and, considering I did all the research for it after dark, is one of the stories that left me unsettled. Then again, anything the rest of the world can do with horror, Japan does twenty times better. Even when it comes to Urban Legends.

A Quick History of the Gowrow
The Gowrow is one of a lesser known cryptid, but is a popular tale among the locals in Northern Arkansas. From that area myself, I have never heard of the cryptid, but it definitely won’t stop me from using a twenty foot lizard-like monster to scare my nephew into coming in before dark. (Trust me, I need all the help I can get!)

The Basano Vase
This is said to be a cursed object. The people who took ownership of this object died very soon after owning it, and that too in a very mysterious and suspicious manner. We think that having some objects will bring us luck. It may be a coin or wallet. The exact opposite of that concept is the "cursed object." The places around the object will have negative vibes and eventually make way for the negative events to take place. It may even cause death to some people who spend time near it. One of the most famous of them is the Basano vase. It is a vase that is made out of pure silver. It is not an object that attracts people after looking at it. The curse on this vase made it more popular among the people. Apart from that, it does not have any value. Nobody knows the location of the object. Except for a photograph, there is no other proof or evidence that this vase existed until now. We were also never able to track the original owner of the vase. We also never knew how this object got the curse.
