Spooktober ONT
Photo credit: Aaron J. GroenIt's now October, which means that Halloween is just around the corner, and so I think it's time for a Spooktober ONT! The opening above is a 100 word short story I wrote many years ago to go with that photo. I'm quite fond of it, I think it's wonderfully creepy for just 100 words. What follows are some of the weirdest, scariest, most eerie greentexts posted at Reddit or 4-chan (and yes, I had to go there to find them. You're welcome for my sacrifice). I'm linking rather than embedding them for 2 reasons: Embedding them would make the ONT very long, and embedded many would be too small to read anyway. If you're not interested in things that go bump in the night, scroll on down and comment as usual. However, if you've ever told yourself that the distant crash from the basement was just something falling own (and convinced yourself that you absolutely did NOT hear that slithering noise afterwards), or that the goose that walked over your grave was just your imagination, or rolled over and gone back to sleep when something shakes your tent while camping (it's just the wind) - well, maybe you missed out on something not of this world. Something like, oh, I dunno...
Sometimes you just need a safe place Oh, I forgot to mention Polyamory? Just hanging around Guardian canine This ghost is not a bro He got my Sprite I got my Orange Crush Mag dump! How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, after they've seen AIEEEEEE! Bloody Mary barks The Deer Man cometh Beep beep! Say cheese! A nice, relaxing, camping trip And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay gets up and he walks around Skinwalkers Ghost Story Goatman Finally, a writing prompt. If you'd like to try your hand at a short story (limit the number of characters to what Pixy allows in one post) like I did up top, try this on for size:

It *showed* me things, terror and pain, vicious body horrors straight out of a Clive Barker movie, but worse. I *felt* the joy and pleasure as it inflicted horrible punishment upon my tender flesh in the dream. It was attempting to convert me, to surrender myself to its diabolical worldview. It even showed me a vision of itself triumphing over angelic beings sent to aid me.
I have no other explanation for this dream. I have NOT been reading or watching any horror stories for some time, so it was NOT on my mind when I went to bed that night. I am absolutely *convinced* that demons are real now, and one of them attacked me through my dreams.
Sleep tight, fellow Horde members!

I can't answer that question but it has definitely exploded in the past decade or so. I've noticed this year tons of monkeypox pumpkins. Smooth, normal pumpkins aren't good enough any more. They need to be splattered in monkeypox.

I make similar complaints. Not that I have anything against going all-out for Halloween or any other holiday, but you have to do it at the right time. Don't put out your Halloween stuff the day after Labor Day, and don't put out your Christmas stuff on November 1. Holidays lose all meaning that way. Appreciate them in their proper seasons, rather than stretch them out where they don't belong.

You failed to notice the man behind the closet door. He slowly shuffles towards you, reaching out with his wrinkled hand.
Closer, closer he gets. He's almost touching you now but you still don't notice his presence.

late '60s, preteen me is squirrel hunting in the Kisatchie National Forest. All. By. My. Self. maybe 5 miles from home, and on foot. slipped up on a gas pipeline, keeping just under the ridge so as to not skylight myself. just as i got maybe halfway across the cleared area, i see a hunting dog rise up about 20 yards off, stiff legged, growling. i whistle him up, and then another 8 or so dogs rise up in a triangle formation behind him, also growling. point doggo is the onliest one with a collar. I'm a runt, maybe 80 lbs soaking wet with jeans & sneakers. I realize my narrow ass is on the menu.

"Ugh, did you see this alert, honey?" I rolled over in bed toward my wife. Squinting around the glare of my phone, I spotted her already out of bed. Standing there, silhouetted by the window.
"Honey? Did you get the alert?" The silhouette moved none.
"What's out there?" I asked, getting up and walking to her. "Honey?" I touched her arm.
She turned. The moon was in her eyes.

Because the evolved American version of Halloween is actually kinda awesome, and one of the last vestiges of the freer fun times a few decades ago, and the adults want to recapture it.
Halloween is the best holiday in my 'hood. People go all out, especially the one guy on the next corner. Kids get to dress up and run around in the dark while the parents gently stroll with a cup full of whatever.
Christmas is pretty and a more significant holiday for a lot of reasons, but Halloween is just fun.

I used to live across the street from an old, abandoned house when I lived in a small town in Germany. It was a genuinely creepy place. One of my friends and I managed to work up the nerve to go in there once (I was 12, he was 14). It was even creepier on the inside. And we never had enough nerve to go into the cellar underneath...

There was a sci-fi short story a read a few years ago about a guy noticing that the moon was really bright one night, and then that the power had gone out and stuff was sort of weird around the city. Kind of windy, too, if I remember right. There was no news or radio broadcasts. He was a smart fellow and began to slowly began to realize that the sun had gone supernova (or something similar, because I don't think our sun can) and the other side of the Earth was gone, and in a few hours our side of the planet would be, too. And the story was about his last few hours. It was a good story.

Christmas begins with the First Vespers for the First Sunday of Advent, which is most often the Sunday after Thanksgiving. And ends at the start of First Vespers for the First Sunday in Ordinary Time, which is the Sunday after the Epiphany. Although this is currently replaced by the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which in turn was displaced by the removal of the Epiphany to the Sunday after the Feast of the Holy Family.

Later that night while sleeping I was woken by tapping on the outside window shutters. This got my attention. Thought maybe one of the other guys somehow locked himself out going to the outhouse. Nope, everyone was sleeping. Then I heard walking on the roof of the cabin, then wall knocking out in the family area. As I got my pistol and started to wake everyone up, something slammed multiple times into the cabin door. I thought the door was going to give way. (Cont.)
Posted by: Beartooth at October 06, 2022 10:44 PM (IP9GB)
Now that everyone was awake we lit lanterns and discussed what was out there and what we were going to do about. Every so often the knocking would happen, usually on the bedroom shutters. There were also odd howls that didn't sound like coyote or wolf. These sounded far away.
Dawn finally came and we burst out the door guns drawn but no one was there. Snow everywhere but no tracks to be found other than ours from skiing up to the cabin and a path to the outhouse.
We packed and left soon after. We never did a winter trip again to their cabin.

My grandmother (or great grandmother) swore she was knitting in the living room and a ball (not a bolt) of lightning came down the chimney, rolled across the floor, and out the front door.
My sister, decades later, saw a similar ball in a room at the end of an upstairs back hallway. It moved towards her. I don't remember what happened in the end.
Finally a lady who rented a few rooms about 15 years ago was sitting on her bed and she says someone she couldn't see sat down next to her. She said it seemed like a very friendly presence.
I lived in that house for 20+ years. I never saw any of this stuff but I do not doubt these stories. It's a strange and wonderful old house.

My mom went to a psychic. She took along a tape recorder to record the session.
During the session, the psychic starts asking my mom about someone named "Tina". My mom has no idea who that is, they talk for a bit, the psychic eventually decides that Tina is my mom's guardian angel or something, and they move on.
Later, my mom listens to the tape. When the psychic mentions Tina, there's a heartbeat that starts up in the background, then gets louder and louder until you can barely hear my mom and the psychic, then quickly dies away when they change topics.

So-called stage blood used in plays and a lot of movies, was and maybe still is, thinned light Karo syrup with red dye the same color as fresh blood added.
I bought some at a fun shop (anyone remember those?) for use on my Leatherface Halloween costume 30+ years ago. It is absolutely realistic color and viscosity, but is a mess cleaning it off anything you accidentally get it on.

Now, there would be a good scary story...by means of a fiendishly clever plan, a Death Row inmate in San Quentin, scheduled to go to the gas chamber in the morning, escapes from prison, and makes his way to a highway, and sticks out his thumb. Right away, a car stops, and he gets in. The driver is in shadow and wearing a hoodie. The con, being a smart alec, asks the driver if he is not worried that he might have picked up an escaped desperado. And the driver replies, "it does not bother me at aaaaall." And gas starts to issue from vents in the dashboard.

The Fuchs vehicles.we had from the Germans were going crazy. (On board mass spectrometer). They were told the next morning to quit reporting. It turns out the chems were real, but just really crappy stuff. I spoke to a captured Iraqi battery commander and his first sergeant about chemicals. Yup! They had them. Three rounds per gun. Old shit.
Not as deadly as real stuff, but enough to set off alarms.
Enough to put a brown stinky smell in my chem suit.

I worked with a guy that apparently was one of the guys analyzing the chemical weapon sensors in Iraq in the Gulf War. Told me he they were real, positive results.
Maybe the answer is, yes they were real but the government lied because they were old, weak crap.

Ha, good point, but still. I'm constantly discovering so much great old sci-fi that I'd never heard of and that is nearly as old as me. Like Star Wars, now that I think about it.
Pohl's Heechee books come to mind. Those started in the 70s IIRC, and I'm an avid reader and big sci-fi fan but somehow never heard of them until some point in the last ten years. There are so many great works out there like that, too. I like to walk through the library and pick something old up and hope for the best.
(stop after book three if you haven't read them btw)

The Harvest Moon is the full Moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox. Either Sept. or Oct's can be the Harvest Moon. Otherwise, Sept. is the Corn Moon and Oct. is the Hunter's Moon. (usually, proper Blue Moons occurring might mess that up, but I'm not sure of the devilish details)
November's full Moon is the Beaver Moon. This Nov, we'll have another full lunar eclipse. So it will be Blood Beaver Moon. Or should I say Beaver Blood Moon.

You may wonder where all these Moon names come from. It's mostly Indian names that the Colonists picked up back in the day. But that was very arcane stuff until recently.
This "blood" and "supermoon" business is basically nonsense. Never was anything official, although with the latter, some are trying to officially define it. Most serious astronomers roll their eyes because the supermoon concept came from an astrologer. About 4 supermoons occur each year, so it's nothing rare.
Anyway, around 10 years or so ago, the internet click bait feedback machine learned that headlines like "TOnight's Super Flower Blood Moon will be the biggest you've ever seen!" generated a lot of clicks. They've been keeping it up ever since.

It's funny, but even the trashiest of the white trash cemeteries down here (which has nothing to do with color, and everything to do with style and upkeep) have footstones at the graves. There are some traditions that are meant to be kept.

We went once to look for relatives on a genealogy hunt my Dad wanted to do.
The old pioneer cemeteries locally have the old motifs from the East for the first generation or so, willow trees, lying down lambs, clasped hands, things like that top center on marble slabs. In the 1880s or so the fad changed to large granite plinths and round bolsters, massy stones.
Sometimes when I am in the cemeteries I feel like I miss them all.

We bought a property from the daughter of immigrants who built a stone wall down to the lake by scavenging pieces of slag granite and marble from the quarries in Barre, VT. Water has washed away a lot of the bank, and that fell down onto the shore. I figure it broke while being carved so it was discarded and replaced. It was an ideal shape and size for building and stacking.

It's the tidal interaction that is throwing the Moon into a higher orbit. The Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, but not vice-versa. Tidal forces are slowing the earth's rotation down, and conservation of angular momentum demands the Moon be thrown higher.
If that process continued, it would reach equilibrium when the Earth was in tide lock. Only one hemisphere of the earth would see the moon, and the days would be a month long.
However, the sun will become a red giant well before that happens.

The Moon acts as a stabilizer of the earth's axial tilt. Without our big-ass moon, the earth's axial tilt would vary significantly, and that would mess the seasons all to hell.
And yep, Jove is a big ass interplanetary vacuum cleaner that sucks up a lot of incoming space rocks. It helps keep them from getting into the inner solar system enough. So Jove minimizes the SMOD chances.

In one of his Civil War histories, Bruce Catton wrote that soldiers killed in battle do not come back as ghosts to haunt the living, never disturbing residents or visitors sleeping near battlefields and soldiers' cemeteries.

Other thing, happened when i was in high schoolat home getting ready for a soccer game. It was a night game, I think 830 or so and I was waiting at home for my parents to get off work and pick me up. It was already dark outside, and I was at the back of the house in my room playing Sega when all of a sudden the kitchen sink turned on full blast. Only time that ever happened in that house.
They aren't much but thinking about those incidents still gives me chills.

Now the Saudis and the other Gulf oil kingdoms are giving Joe the finger at a bad political time for Joe. Those generals in the Pentagon who claimed they were worried about what Trump would do, better be damned worried for real right now about what Joe might do.

Thank John Hagee for that nonsense. Apparently there was supposed to be four "blood red moons" and in his book he spun some imaginative fiction that this somehow relates to Israel and the return of Jesus Christ.
We are still here, everything but the dates for the eclipses ended up being a lie and people still consider him an authority/prophet on The Rapture™

My friend was working in a church basement, measuring the wall space for shelves that his son's Boy Scouts troop were going to build. As he worked, someone in the adjacent room started on the piano and began singing an old hymn. He didn't recognize it, but noted the singer's beautiful voice and intended to stick his head in the door on the way out to offer a compliment.
He made his last measurement and depressed the retrieve on his tape measure. The sound of the steel tape rattling across the floor must have startled the singer, because the piano struck a sour note and went suddenly quiet. My friend now felt compelled to stick his head in the door and offer an apology.
He entered the dark hallway. The only light in the basement was coming from the room he just left, and when he turned that light off, he would have to walk about thirty feet in the dark, walking past the also dark, and notably empty, piano room, before reaching the stairs and the next available light switch...

I've toured it, not stayed in it. Creepy old place. Stayed at the Exelsior House in Jefferson Texas in an off time. Second story room, got woken up at about 2 or 3 am by a very strong smell of cigar smoke. Asked the clerk in the morning , she said "well you were the only guests in that wing last night." And then she added "but you're not the first ones to tell us about that."

About twenty minutes before I was done, I had some stuff to move around between the gym and an exterior entrance, and I clearly heard two of our teachers (a married couple) having a conversation at the top of the nearby stairs. I couldn't make out words, but I was sure who the voices belonged to.
Except they were out of town that weekend and no one other than me had been in the building since 7.

Heretics was definitely weirder, but I still appreciated it as a look at the negative side of Leto's Golden Path.

As always, when it awoke, it happened suddenly. Instantly: "Your time to leave is upon you! Think what must happen for you to find your next resting place!" The flood of memories long dormant, and in sequence, overwhelmed it. Separation, abandonment, rediscovery (these last two filled it with the most dread: "What if rediscovery never happens?" with its terrifying horror of a lengthy dismemberment and certain death), awaiting, resettling ("Now you again are known, cleansed, admired!", and the prospect of what would follow brought it joy and hope), and, finally and relievedly, its next span of sleep.
Behind the wheel of the speeding vehicle whose rear wheel just slammed into a pothole, causing its hubcap to break loose to go skittering into the verdant right of way, its driver cursed and then watched it veer off the road. Too long he watched, oblivious to an inescapable collision with the oncoming and fully loaded tractor - trailer rushing upon him.
As slowed and eventually slumped over to rest in the undergrowth at the side of the road, the hubcap settled down to begin its unavoidable yet necessary time of abandonment ...

Everyone is out, half drunk and having a blast in the streets.
All in costumes
I have a bit of a cough, but figure I should stay out as long as I can.
Don't want to brag, but my family is kind of a big deal in town so I should hang out a bit
Then I run into a an old friend. I'll call him M
M is OK, but kind of phony. I don't really trust him, but I don't want to be rude.
He acts like I did him wrong somehow, but his families fortunes are in decline, so I make allowances.

We walk for miles. We drink a bottle of cheap plonk along the way, and my cough is getting bad.

Indeed. It was a silly little holiday 50 years ago, mostly for kids to wear costumes and collect candy. What it is is that it is the holiday that celebrates things like monsters, witches, evil and death and whether most internalize it or not it is the holiday celebrating the occult. So it is still a question whether "elite" society are actually aligned with Stan consciously or just find the belief system and values of Christianity offensive to their goals of power, control and self aggrandizement but that's why Halloween rivals Christmas in importance in the "modern" world

Lawdogs theory was weak to begin with.
I am still going with the poles or Ukrainians. As to those who say only the us or Russia could do this. Give them enough money and there are multiple graduate engineering classes (and some undergrads - looking at you Cal Poly!) who absolutely had the skill to put it together. And there are a lot of bright engineers in Eastern Europe.
Of the two, I’m leaning on the Ukrainians. They are the ones who seem to be slobbering for a wider war.

'We', meaning those of us at a certain age, remember just how fun Halloween was! Candy, costumes, stupidity... and even our parents were in a good mood. Running from house to house with a bed sheet on? GOOD TIMES!
Now, we try to recapture that as adults... which means we have to go overboard to try to get even a sample of the simple joy, we once had as children.
The overblown Halloween stuff is an attempt to recapture our youth.

I felt something like that when I was at the Roman colosseum. That was some eerie shit. It really didn't hit me until I stood at the entrance where they brought in the poor bastards to be executed. I stood in the big entrance, looked to where the emperor sat, then looked up at all the rows of seats, or what was rows of seats, and for a split second it was alive and I could almost see it all. It was a sunny day, sun overhead, and staring up just imagining all these jerkoffs in the seats getting pleasure at watching you die. I turned to my brother and said "Rome needed to fall". It was weird. I never felt anything like that.

Lie to me if you must. It'd be the perfect ex-wife tale, if you did.

Which means the Gestapo might have been copying them, but not sure.

It's just the prostate cancer that about 1/3 of guys get if they live long enough. Mine's fairly early at 66 compared to most but the survival rate w/ this seeding treatment in my case is 85% That's pretty good odds.
I'd bet a stack of black chips at those odds, but who knows? Thanks for asking, you be well.

Co-worker's last day today and I need to pick up some donuts for everyone for her 'good-bye to customers' party.
My work-life is changing. More insanity!
Later, all

Dr Richard Urso is one I occasionally check out on nitter. Earlier this week he posted a little on the 20 year old nurse in training who died of cardiac arrest 3 days after the mandated useless vax. Regan Lewis, RIP

I'm with a buddy at his MILF girlfriends condo. She goes into the laundry room where her dogs are. A St. Bernard, Golden retriever, and a large mutt. Pulls a .22 rifle out of the closet and says "This is it boys" to the dogs. Then shoots each of them in the head. Next thing I know I'm walking over to his girlfriends place with my buddy, with three kids. We go in, the door is unlocked. I head over to the laundry room with the kids in tow. Then I see the dead dogs. I turn the kids around before they see them, and usher them outside. Then I realize...I've never been in the condo before in my life.
That's it! What the hell does that mean? The buddy is no one I've ever met. Everything in the dream is new to me.
