@tsundererra: Me too! It was definitely scary looking! Seeing some of those stories together makes me wonder more about the bare footprints and the discarded stuff on my property in the back. It was in the same area that I saw the thing.

@alexis: I had no choice. xD It's all fun to look back on, but I don't visit my childhood home if I can help it. and I absolutely WON'T sleep in my childhood room. My cat still protects me when I'm there.

@buggaboy: soooooo I'd been doing searches for years for what I saw and had never come across skinwalkers, but after reading up on it, I totally saw one. Also accidentally on purpose read all kinds of stories about them and I'm never sleeping again. XD

I think it's really interesting that it's a native american thing too because I was in Oklahoma at the time and Helllooooo Trail of Tears anyone? My boyfriend at the time would not tell me what he thought it was and he was absolutely a native american. The nearest town was near a reservation. I lived out in the middle of nowhere with my 3 neighbors. At my school, all of the Native American kids got like presents at Christmas and free school supplies. We had a pretty large population. I have native blood as well- Not enough for free college ( I was one generation off from that) BUT more than Elizabeth Warren. I wasn't connected enough to know the stories or anything though.

@tsundererra: ^^^^^^^^^^^ At least the BF was good for something right?

Ellie seems to think her job is to lead me safely to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

She gets up when I do and walks just ahead of me. Close enough that my toes touch the backs of her legs the entire way to the bathroom or her tail twirls around my legs. Then, she talks to me and leads me back to bed 🤣

Sometimes, she’ll wake me up to go to the bathroom because she feels like I should.

BUCKLE UP MY FRIENDS-
Disclaimer-I'm not the best story teller, but these are my freaky stories. XD

I will call my first installment

I was 8 when we moved into this house and my first night there, I saw a woman sitting on my bathtub. She had black eyes, a white dress, dark hair and she was completely soaked.
I find out later that the house itself was placed on top of the site of a house that burned down. You could find all kinds of porcelain figurines if you went under the house.

Speaking of the house itself, it was completely ridiculous. It's the Frankenstein's Monster of homes. Someone got two halves of trailer houses that were made in the 70's and mushed them together. Then put rock aaaaaalll around the outside to make it look like it wasn't 2 trailer halves. and then the add-ons... my goodness. None of this house was up to code- I'm sure of it. I got lost in a 3 bedroom house more times than I could count when I first moved in.

I claimed for YEARS that the house was haunted because of the awful feelings I'd get in my bedroom- like something was watching me and trying to get me. I'd literally sleep with my back in the corner of my room so that I could see all around me.
I would hear my mom calling me in this tiny house and when I'd walk to the family room, she never actually called to me. The opposite happened too. She'd hear me screaming in my room and come to my rescue and when she got to my room, I was fine and hadn't been screaming at all. When I moved out, she would hear music coming from my room and still hear me calling for her.

My friends all heard growling in the kitchen when they would stay the night and refused to go there alone.

We would find knives in random places in the house that we didn't put there. My favorite was by a statue of a dog.

Things would fall. All. The. Time. In rooms that you weren't in, in rooms you were in... it didn't discriminate.

Wild animals would crawl under the house to die. (underneath my old bedroom that I called the demon room because of how terrible I felt in there)

My toys would make noise when they weren't in use and in a few instances, when the batteries were out.
The worst was this Amazing Ally doll that would say "Goodbye" in my closet at night.

My cat would pace the edge of my bed at night as if she were protecting me. She would also fluff up and hiss at "nothing."

One moment of brilliance when I was 15/16 had me bring 2 of my friends over and we set up the ouija board. I didn't exactly believe in it and thought my friends were just messing with me, but we decided to play with it late into the night and then at 3am. We'd always heard not to do it at 3am, so what else would we do? Anyway, I can't remember what the board was saying, but it was repeating itself. We kept trying to force it to goodbye to end it, but then my bedroom door started banging open and shut. I had put full laundry baskets in front of it to alert me to a parent trying to come in. All of my friends were in my room with me and my parents were asleep. When we forced it to goodbye, the door went still again.

I would see monstrous things at night and could not sleep with the light off. I can't even describe the things I saw/do them justice. I'd never seen them in movies or anywhere else. I'd just press myself against the wall and read a book until my eyes couldn't open anymore. They would be beside my bed or on my ceiling. Friends that stayed over would report seeing odd things too and most of the time they would suggest we just stay at their house instead.



Installment #2 will be called

The frankenstein house was on an acre of land with a large tree line in the back that led to a fence that led to more trees.

We had our "forts" set up in the trees along the back of the property, but there were all of these discarded things back there. Mattress springs, pots and pans, toys, etc. Everything was nice and rusty.

We would find bare footprints in the mud back there. We didn't go barefoot back there because of snakes. It wasn't us. Someone with a foot slightly bigger than mine was in my backyard multiple times running through.

I went further back into the land/the neighbors land for funsies one afternoon and found this rock wall that was about hip height. the ground behind it was level at the top, but the ground in front dipped down. It had letters in a semi-circle at the bottom that led to the part that was covered. The letters were not in any language I could understand. I tried to dig down to see more of it, but got this overwhelming feeling that something terrible was about to happen while I was digging and I ran back to my house. I was 15 and didn't have a cell phone or I'd totally have taken a picture of it. I haven't gone back there since.

I was on the roof of my shed one night on the phone with my boyfriend at the time when I saw a creature that was completely hairless, nude colored, and had these gross looking hind legs. They looked almost human, but oddly jointed. The face and stature was dog-like. It turned and stared at me with black eyes from the tree line. I was telling my boyfriend about it as it was happening and he started freaking out. He told me to jump down and run to the house and not to go back outside that night no matter what I heard. I still can't get the image of that creature out of my head. I was 17.


I have other family stories too, but these are all occurrences that happened to me.

@nebula: would you like me to lock this thread or do you want to reuse it in the future for other exchanges?

@mizuie: So, my husband claims that there is a correct way,
but I just sit the roll on top of the holder like a monster.
I started just putting it on top because I could never remember the correct way, nor did I care to remember. XD


Fun fact though-
My Aunt is blind and it is a requirement in her house to have the roll "under." It is much easier for her to find the end of the roll if it's hanging down on the underside.

@nebula: with a name like that, how could you not want it??

I may have a spare one up for grabs. I’ll need to visit the price guide and see what the going rate is.

She's such a sassy brat cat.
@tsundererra: I feel like mine is really obvious. I just have a certain style that I always gravitate towards. XD
@tsundererra: hmmmmm I should make a series of princesses and villains and add it to my severely neglected avatar gallery... XD

I'm so ready! I can't wait to see them!
