This is easily one of the best twists on “creepy guy on our street is creepy” we’ve ever read. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 The Quiet Neighbor Absolutely read through these, then absolutely call your congressmen to advocate shutting down the US Forest Service.

It became a little too much for our terrified caveman brains to handle, so we had to go watch reruns of Veep until we calmed down. Read I’m a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service
None of this vulnerable abandoned cabin stuff for us, no matter what inheritance we get from well-off, deceased relatives. By the time the ending rolled around, we were swearing up and down we would only be spending the night in fully furnished, solid constructions. This story is on the shorter side, but the writer also makes some of the most economical use of words we’ve ever seen in a story. You get to see detailed photos of the setting as well as of whatever it is the two people saw in their time on location.
Of all the stories we read for this feature, this is the only one to make effective use of images. Read It Turns Out the Scratches Didn’t Come from a Bear After All This one hits all the notes it needs to to make you second guess your midnight pedestrian plans. You don’t have to be crazy original, just an effective storyteller. But don’t let their prevalence distract you from just how scary these roads can actually be and “The Limping Woman” reminds us these stories exist because they work.

Everyone can relate to it because everyone’s town/city/suburb/fortress/commune has some version of the haunted stretch of road. Our first pick is a straightforward urban legend.

Polterkites, whose real name is Marcus Kliewer, is from Kelowna, British Columbia, is not a professional writer. With thousands of hits, it became a huge success, so much so, that Deadline has reported that a screen rights deal is being made by Netflix, with Blake Lively attached to star and book rights for We Used to Live Here are set to be auctioned off shortly.
