This isn't much of an ask more of a little note, but I get serious night in the woods vibes from this place and I am here for it! I used to be big on stuff like goosebumps and supernatural vibes when I was a kid so this sort of feels like my modern substitute for that, anyways thanks so much for this gem of a blog ♡

(( Author here! Thank you so much!! I love Night in the Woods a bunch, so I’m thrilled to hear this blog gives you those vibes. I read tons of Goosebumps books as a kid as well (and watched the show) and enjoyed them a lot. In general, I’m glad you like the blog! Messages like this always brighten my day, so thank you again for taking the time to send this! ))

Read your post about counting your basement staircases, and yikes, my basement has been empty for a long while but the other day I went down to dump a few of my old stuff there and guess what? Right in the corner of my eye,I swear I saw something (or someone?) hunched over our old portable heater. Ran up the stairs as fast as I could so I forgot to count the steps but I closed the door,I know that's at least common courtesy.

That is rather alarming. I’m glad you escaped in time. Counting while going down the stairs is generally more important than counting going up, but I would still check around your home for abnormalities, just to make sure it’s still your home. And yes, closing the door is common courtesy. It keeps the heat inside the basement, and if something (or someone) was trying to get warm, I’m sure it/they appreciated it.

I’m pretty sure at least 15 of the 73 tabs open on my phone are cursed.

on haunted houses

When she stood still in the middle of the room the pressing silence of Hill House came back all around her. I am like a small creature swallowed whole by a monster, she thought, and the monster feels my tiny little movements inside.

The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson

This haunting is architectural. It is not about you. It is about where you are. There are bones in the foundation. This house is a graveyard. This house is a corpse. You are inside the corpse. That makes you the maggot.

“WHY ARE YOU HAUNTED? A survey,” @filmnoirsbian

Some places are born, not built. Such a strange thought to have. And I don’t know what came next, but I was still muttering the words to myself when they stopped my car and broke the glass and dragged me out. Born, not built. Born, not built.

I Am In Eskew, Anonymous

…for of all that “Être humain” the real human beings in these houses and cities become normalized termites, or within a “dwelling machine” they become foreign cells, still too organic.

“Buildings in Empty Spaces,” Ernst Bloch tr. Jack Zipes and Frank Mecklenburg

The house, heavy with history, is burying the bodies before they even know they are bodies.

“i’m going through a bunch of old essays and tbh this slapped,” @nedlittle

There’s only so much that hate can build up in a place before it starts hating you back… I don’t know what’s in the attic, or if there’s anything up there at all, and I don’t think I want to.

“SCP-2740,” djkaktus

Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt? And still you harass. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settled on a sleeper’s tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this: When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth.

ANATOMY, Kitty Horrorshow

Despite all their efforts to the contrary—their impossible architecture, their threats of betrayal, their lesions in the walls—we keep coming back. We keep exploring them and charting them and trying to bend their distinctively un-human design to our will. These houses are haunted—they’re haunted by us.

“Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House,” Jacob Geller

has anyone else witnessed the strangely symmetrical glowing orange snowfall? It looked like if someone were to suddenly add a polkadot pattern to the air around us, but it fell way too slowly and didn't even melt when it touched the ground. it just sorta kept on like the earth beneath us wasn't there. Anyway, i'm asking since there's a slight orange glow to my grass and foliage along with the surrounding greenery and was wondering if i should call a specialist or wait for rain.

We have received reports about the strangely symmetrical glowing orange snowfall. It’s probably best to wait for rain. The snowfall may be friendly, and it might take offense if you call a specialist to get rid of it. I’ve also heard that it works well for dyeing clothing and towels. If you have anything you want patterned with orange polka dots, simply lay it on the grass for an hour or so, then soak it in ice water. The pattern will stay on the cloth. It’s important to take advantages of opportunities, no matter how strange they might appear. However, I do not recommend lying on the grass yourself. We haven’t developed a stain remover for symmetrical orange snowfall yet.

Hello hello! A bit of a call back to an older post, I hope that's okay- who are the missing people? Do we know how they were chosen?

Greetings. The missing people were:

Kate Wethers, age 29

Cameron Maher, age 18

Victoria Wallace, age 41

Liam Olsen, age 15

Heather Torres, age 37

Jacob Allan, age 22

Patrick Carroway, age 48

Felicia McKibben, age 25

And several other people whose families requested remain anonymous. We do not know how they were chosen, but they have not returned. However, the people who wear animal masks and stand on street corners — the ones responsible for taking these missing people — have not been spotted in over a week now. The Pit reassured us they are gone.

Find the sign it left behind as it was crossing there—caught against the broken fence, black strands of ash and hair.

Hi! I came upon one of your posts on Pinterest, but I want to reblog it from your tumblr. It is called How To Paint the Sky. “Eat an orange and say thank you. Feed some birds and ask for their names. Climb a tree and count the stars.” And a few more sentences. I tried searching the tags but I can’t find it. Could you please link me to it if you know where it is? Thank you :)

(( Hello!! Author here! This is such a polite message and reading it made me smile. Thank you for sending this! Here’s the post you’re looking for! Also, I had no idea one of my posts ended up on Pinterest, so that’s wild to hear. I’m happy it still linked back to this blog, though! I hope you have a nice day or evening or night, depending on where you are. ))
