Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I fond this somewhere in the interwebz, sounds at bit like the OP's story:

My friend and I were babysitting and we started getting spooked, so we put the two kids to bed and started watching TV. I got up to get a drink and noticed that there was a thing that looked like a clown sitting in the dining room chair. I told my friend and we called the owner of the house. What she told us scared the heck out of us! She said to get out of the house IMMEDIATELY. When we asked why, she told us that her neighbor was a deranged midget and sometimes he would dress up like a clown and break into their house. He has threatened them before but they thought he was just kidding. We got the kids and called the police. Everybody is safe and he is now in a mental institution. We later gave up our babysitting job... True story by Alicia
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Wiki:

A teenage girl is babysitting one evening. The children have been put to bed and the babysitter is in the living room watching TV. Just then, the phone rings. When she answers it, she hears a man laughing on the other end. He asks her if she's checked on the children recently. When she asks who he is, he hangs up. The stranger calls several times throughout the evening, and the babysitter starts to get scared. She calls the operator and asks him to trace the call. When the stranger calls back, the babysitter manages to keep him talking for several minutes, in order to trace the call, but when she asks who he is again, he hangs up. Then, the phone rings again. This time it's the operator. He orders the babysitter to get out of the house, because the calls are coming from inside the house. Now the babysitter is very scared. The operator says the police are already on their way. As the babysitter moves toward the door, she hears, and then sees, a shadowy figure coming down the stairs. She runs from the house in terror. When the police arrive, they arrest a madman with a butcher knife. The children are all dead. The killer got into the house through an upstairs window and murdered the children in their beds. He was waiting for the babysitter to come upstairs as she was going to be his next victim.

Well I just got a new job along with my friend of 7 years, Rob. We decided to celebrate by drinking a few beers in the hot tub with some of our female friends. Now here is a key element of the story, it's June and I live in Texas so the June bugs are out, nasty little things, so we had to turn the lights out in the hot tub because they are attracted to them and that would scare the girls away. The night was going well, many lulz were had, some bikinis fell off, all in all a great night. Well the girls decide to go in but Rob and I decided to stay in a bit longer and catch up with them when they finished changing. This is where -blam!- hits the fan. Rob and I are talking a bit about the events that had just taken place when Rob says he needs to tell me something serious. "Jim" he says, "I'm -blam!-." I sat there for a bit. I have no prejudice against -blam!-s, but it was a bit of a shock. I tell him that it's alright with me if he is, but then a question pops into my head. "Rob, you aren't by any chance attracted to me are you?" Oh God, why did I even ask. Rob nods, and I go silent. Rob begins to speak again. "You know I wasn't always -blam!-, I used to be strait, but then I met Steve, you would have liked him, great guy, anyway he is the one who turned me." I reply, "Honestly Rob, I'm okay with you being this way, but you being attracted to me is kinda weird." Then Rob stands."Jim, you never know if you won't like it till you try." I nearly -blam!- my pants. He moved towards me and I pushed him and told him to back off, but he continued. I decided I had to put him down to get him to lay off, so I kick him in the crotch. This is when I come to the disturbing realization, that the trunks Rob was once wearing, are no longer being worn. As my foot collided with his genitals, the realization washed over me and I jumped out of the hot tub and immediately puked. I haven't spoken to Rob since.

A hunter is out laying out his traps in the Canadian Wilderness. After a few hours of laying traps and setting his lines, the Hunter realizes that it is now getting dark. Not wanting to be caught outside by himself in the dark, the Hunter begins to try and find a cottage or temporary shelter for the night.

Luckily, after an hour or so of searching, the Hunter finds a lone cabin in a dark shady part of the forest. Upon reaching the cabin, the hunter finds the cabin door empty. The Hunter looks inside and finds that the small, one-room cabin is empty. Being as tired as he was, the Hunter decided to just sleep in the bed there for the night and try and explain to the owner's of the cabin if they discovered him there sleeping. As he Lay down and tried the get to sleep, the Hunter noticed portraits lining the wall. These pictures were extremely well done, very detailed, drawn with what appeared to be fine coloured stencil. The portraits faces were lined with anger and hatred, and they seemed to be staring straight at the Hunter.

Disturbed, the Hunter lay down and tried to ignore the pictures so he could go to sleep. The next morning, the hunter woke up to the bright sunlight streaming into the cabin. But then the hunter realized something. There were no portraits in the cabin. Just windows.

There is a demon of great evil, that will be able to walk upon the Earth if someone is told of its existence and does not repeat the name to another. To the best of my ability, his name roughly approximates "Jkqxxllyuo".


This was told to me by a rather unkempt man on the street; if you have not noticed it already, I just told it to you.


I am cheap and how the bloody hell do you prounounce that?

The Woman

in Japan, there is an urban legend that young men walking alone in the city may occasionally stumble upon a beautiful woman who appears lost. The woman is wearing a filter-mask over her mouth and nose, as Japanese city people often do to keep airborne illnesses out of their lungs.

Upon recognizing the woman's beauty, the young man is most certainly going to approach the apparently distraught woman. When the man asks the woman if she needs assistance, she stops, looks at him, and asks him if he thinks she is beautiful.

If the smitten man replies honestly, the woman removes her mask, revealing a rough and uneven cut on each cheek, starting from the corner of her mouth and stretching back halfway to her ears. Her mouth appears to have been widened to twice or three times its normal size. She smiles at him, the cuts warping grotesquely, and chases the terrified man into the fog, laughing maniacally.

Bad things are said to happen if she catches you.

I'm trying to come up with some ideas of my own...

I'll go first: One day i went to my frineds house he was 13 i was 12 at the time and i wanted to go to his house i called first then someone picked up the phone all i heared was breathing so i hung up and went over i knocked on the door and hear voices no cars were in the drive way. And i heard him supposeibly talking to his mom he was yelling and crying saying i want to hang out with him please mom please then i heard he laughing a creepy laugh then i knocked once more then i heard more noices then i saw a figure run in front of the door way so i i freaked and walked away and i hear NOOOOO so i came back and looked threw a window and saw shadows of something that looked like a bowling pin then i said stop messing around roger. then i ran away then i heard the voice say NOOOO so i came back i heard more laughter then i was about to go home when a car drove in and it was her mom with my friend i told them what i heard and saw and my frined believed me because this didn't happen once it happened to us once when i was at his house. So thats the story believe it or not its true though. The first time we wittnessed it was when i went to his house once when his parents weren't home and we locked the door because it was night and him and i were playing a game on the ps2 when we started to hear running and whispering so thats when we closed his door and locked it we then had the the bravery to walk out and we looked around a knife had been missing from the bar so we ran to his moms room and my frined began to pray to god to protect us then we heard his sisteryell out our names so we ran out with relife but no one was there so we then got so freaked we ran back in the room for the doors to the front of the house and the back doors were locked and so were the windows we didn't know how it happened and his moms room was on the a second story of the house so we coudn't jump out of the window. after a few of hours we heard his mom and hoped it was her this time and ran to the kitchen and it was her we told her what happened but she didn't believe us but who could blame her.

private timmons walked alone in the woods of vietnam. after the previous engagement he had been seperated from his platoon which was a bad thing. he had been hearing screams and footsteps for three hours now. he figured it was from an engagement further to the south. he had only one magazine left for his m16 and a single shot left in his .45. he sat on a stump. he pulled out the .45. what now? he thought. suicide? suddenly, he heard heavy footsteps coming from behind. getting closer and closer. he turned, only to see a creature running towards him. it ran on four legs, it had black reptillian skin, and a long tail with a spike at the end. it was hungry, and it was hunting him. he pulled out the m16, fired off the whole magazine, the creature still ran at him, it had him now, ripping, tearing, puuling. it was dragging him further into the woods. three days later, an m16 was found in the woods of vietnam, with an empty magazine, and a severed arm.

I'm a very articulate person. In engrish.

It's never easy, is it?

Posted by: GingerBeast
I will tell it again, more clearly. I did not have anyone next to me in my bed, just me in my bedroom.

I wake up, and I see a figure next to me, staring at me with hollow eye sockets, black, tangled hair, and pale, wrinkly skin. I cannot move or speak, just stare at it. I was unable to scream. I heard "Your Life" and I got up from my bed and ran. It disappeared immediately. It felt like I had some kind of weight on my chest the whole time.

AND, I figured out what it was too. It was sleep paralysis. Let me explain, or let HIM explain.

There is a condition called "old hag" where you wake up paralyzed and see a woman hunching over you. It's explainable with science, but I don't really know what causes it.


Sleep Paralysis

It happens to me about once every two months. Creeps the hell out of me every time, but I don't see an old hag choking me.

Symptoms of sleep paralysis can be either one of the following or a combination:
Paralysis: this occurs after waking up or shortly before falling asleep. the person cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and only has minimal control over blinking and breathing. This paralysis is the same paralysis that occurs when dreaming. The brain paralyzes the muscles to prevent possible injury during dreams, as some body parts may move during dreaming. If the person wakes up suddenly, the brain may still think that it is dreaming, and sustains the paralysis.
Hallucinations: Images or speaking that appear during the paralysis. The person may think that someone is standing beside them or they may hear strange sounds. These may be dreamlike, possibly causing the person to think that they are still dreaming. Often times it is reported as feeling a weight on one's chest, as if being underneath a person or heavy object.
These symptoms can last from mere seconds to several minutes and can be frightening to the person.



This has happened to me twice, it scared the sht out of me, it was also someone I knew. My mother, she died of breast cancer a few months before this happened. All I saw was her curled up in the corner of the room wearing her favorite beanie on her head. I couldn't look away. Call me a liar but this is some scary stuff. I nearly sht myself.
