True Stories That Get Creepier the More You Dig In

  • My husband texted me, saying that he’d be back 2 days earlier from his work trip. Monday, he came home and apologized for not telling me that he was coming sooner. I said, “What do you mean? I got your text!”
    I took my phone to show him, and we both turned pale. Another text said, “Make sure to keep your phone next to you wherever you go; you never know who can mess with it!” We were so confused that we ended up assuming it was a colleague playing a prank. But then we noticed that the message was sent only an hour ago, and by that time, my husband was in his car alone. We still don’t know who sent those two messages, but thankfully we haven’t received any additional ones since.
  • After my cat of ten years died in December, I would still hear him meowing. Usually, I could brush it off as just thinking too much about him.

    We had this routine where we’d talk back and forth—he’d meow, and I’d call back, “Clyde!” He’d meow again, I’d say, “Clyde!” Then he’d run up, and we’d cuddle.
