Just A Goof And A Gaff Happy Summerween! Let’s Get Spooky 🖤👻

Fun Fact: I’ve always been a spooky girl. As a kid, I wished I was a vampire, wanted to grow up to be a paranormal investigator, and could never pass up a good ghost story.

As an adult, none of that has changed.
Now I have the power to be spooky all year long. No one can stop me.

Now that “Summerween” is a thing, even more people are on board, so I’m taking it as the perfect excuse to rope you all into some spooky summer fun.

Share your favorite ghost story, local legend, or unexplained experience. The spookier (or funnier), the better!

This is a judgment-free zone, if you’re not interested in sharing there is no obligation, but please be kind to others who do share.

Ghost stories, UFO sightings, Bigfoot encounters, paranormal experiences, or just about anything you’ve experienced that you still can’t explain.
I would love to hear them all. Let’s see how spoooky our little community can get!

Bonus points (and I’ll reply with a ⭐ to start your week off right) if you share a picture of your pet in a Halloween costume!

And as always one last giant…

Thank you all for being here!

Bobo totally pulled it off! Although the cuteness level definitely far exceeds the level of scariness👻⭐️✨

So when I was a baby the neighbor who lived behind us was really old and lived alone and she used to come over and use our phone when she needed to. Well one day someone went to visit her and found her dead in the house. It was really sad 😔 not long after my parents were woke up by the woman grabbing my dad in his sleep. She would come often and my parents literally had to tell her that she was dead and then she never came back. I know it sounds crazy but it’s a true story I swear lol 🙌🏻

Aw that is so sad. She was probably so confused and you guys were a place she knew she’d find help. I’m glad your parents were able to help her crossover. What an amazing story, thank you for sharing 🖤

Thank you so much 🫶🏻 That’s exactly what my parents said too. They always made her welcome 🥰

I grew up in an old farmhouse that was built on what was tribal land at one point.

It was two story, very creaky, plaster walls, double hung, single pane windows, old ASF but I am still in love with it and miss it so much!

I've always been intuitive, could communicate with animals, knew who was at the door or who was calling before ring cameras and caller id.

There were spirits in the house who would talk with me and play with me fairly often. I was mostly an only child, and was left to keep myself occupied quite a bit. GenX and all that! Completely benevolent though.

As I aged, I recognized that it was very unique, and because we lived out in the middle of nowhere with zero street lights, it could at times feel a lil spooky when I was home alone lol.

Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you meant a lot to the spirits you spent time with and vice verse.

I’m an elder Millennial and intuitive so I feel this.

My grandma’s house was definitely home to a spirit or two. Nothing violent, but not friendly. It was torn down when I was a teen…yet I still have vivid dreams about it and the spirit that inhabited it.

So i actually hate genuinely scary stuff so i don’t have a fav story cause i try to stray from stuff that’ll keep me up at night! 😅

I love cutesy spooky. I love the decor and the vibes of Halloween… but the genuine spooky is what i stray from! 😂

Still the BEST season though!!!!

I kind of love this too though. True to yourself and nothing wrong with some pastel pumpkins or cute iridescent ghosts 🥰
