Tiny Tales of Everyday Horror
I remember when Chernobyl happened. I was working at a nuclear facility here in the states. We had a couple of the sweetest scientists from Sweden visiting after the incident. During their visit our radioactivity sensors got tripped. We were panicking until we were able to isolate the cause. It was the footprints of the […]
MoreA word of advice for if you’re ever travelling out of the country: make sure your travelling companions have a decent picture of you looking presentable. A picture of you shit-faced, waving a drink around right before you set yourself on fire is not going to make finding you in the hospital very easy, especially […]
MoreI got a pretty good deal on my house, and that’s how it starts, right? The previous owner had died, so I became responsible for all the stuff in it (that’s how it REALLY starts). This is not that kind of story, though, but it is a little weird. While sorting through the stuff, I […]

Other times, a figure could be seen walking and then it would just disappear, with large groups of people to witness it. -Mackenzie […]
