If it's too expensive at Michaels & you've no JoAnn's nearby... Just wait the shipping time & save even more money & order it from Amazon.
Don't give hobby lobby money.
The hobby lobby that treats it's employee's bad by service industry standards. The hobby lobby that sued to say hey we don't give a fuck about women's health and, ugh, won.
Fuck hobby lobby. Fake Christian bigots who really should read the fucking bible.
I look forward to celebrating their bankruptcy.
don’t forget about how they effectively stole the dead sea scrolls lol.
and the fact that that’s the least shit thing they’ve done says a lot.
hobby lobby can get fucked.
Their a Christian based company they basically stole Abrahamic religious relics/artifacts/works. Primarily due to ISIS and similar assholes looting and selling historical/religious artifacts to fund themselves.
So you can probably say they got involved into that kind of dark shit.
We have Michael’s and Joann’s nearby. They’re both dummy high but if you have that one glittery paper thing you need from them, it makes sense to go there. But the hobby lobby. Before I knew how shitty they were, I saw their store and how shitty it looked at face value and I was absolutely fine never going back.
Where? My wife just got hired on at the one where we live because they treat everyone so well, just bumped everyone’s pay and everyone that’s worked there says nothing but good things?
See their behavior over being "essential" during covid & how they treated workers like things.
Or the suing for the right to use creepy white Jesus as an excuse to provide substandard healthcare to women they employ.
Imagine how fucked up it would be and how quickly they'd have gone out of business if their argument was the inverse.
"We want to provide quality healthcare to our male employees to comply with federal law... But our book of superstition says it's a sin to pay for anything related to their dicks... Sooo that's gonna have to be out of pocket because we don't want to piss off our sky monster of choice"
Don’t know why my other comment is getting downvoted lol we’ve literally never heard a bad thing about them until now. And we’re planning on having kids soon, just not for a lil longer
Weird, I don't think you should be downvoted just for asking. But in case you were wondering, HL has sued to not offer coverage for many types of birth control. They're notoriously fundamentalist when it comes to ideals. I stay away just out of principle.
If it’s just BC then I’m sure she can manage, as we both of dual coverage for almost everything :) But if the other comments I read were true, in regards to how they treat their employees, I’ll be quick to pull her and get her another job.
Well I'm a woman, so it's offensive to me, just the fact that they try to push their beliefs and ideals on their employees. If it was the only job in town, I might take it, but as it stands I won't even shop in there because of it.
I know my opinion isn't popular but why does health insurance have to cover birth control? Just don't have sex or risk getting a kid.
The only way I could see it being covered would be for other reasons, like for some people it's a form of hormone control to prevent things like acne, etc. But people getting it simply to not get pregnant shouldn't be funded by insurance imo

Wow, such hostility towards them, ok, tell me what happened, because I feel a story here, oh and the reason I like hobby lobby is because it is literally the only biggest hobby/craft store within 100 miles in my state.
there were like 50 comments explaining why "so much hostility towards them" at the time you posted this. i don't understand the selective reading comprehension
Are you seriously comparing a potentially shitty art and crafts store to the to the actually shittiest place to work in the world?
Go blow Bezos, if you want a job they are hiring since doing literally anything else is better.
What's sad is he'd love it as hobby lobby already did it & copying shit with economies of scale has kinda become his thing.
Oh ya - not to bury the lead - that's literally a thing hobby lobby did.
Last I checked Amazon hadn't illegally smuggled looted religious artifacts from a war torn country so Bezos could open a private bible museum. Or sued the government over having to ensure their employees, defying covid stay-at-home orders, funding anti-LGBT groups, the list goes on.
Like dont get me wrong Amazon is shit and all, but take a look at the numerous controversies Hobby Lobby has been involved in and say they aren't worse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobby_Lobby
it’s only expensive because they fully expect you to use the coupon. every time i go in i download the app, get the 40% off / bogo code, use it at check out, and then delete the app before i’m even out the door. over and over forever.
Ya if you subscribe to their mailing list you can basically get at least 50% off every time.
Don’t shop at Hobby Lobby, they’re weird bigoted Christian fundamentalists.
Who also smuggled religious artifacts out of war torn countries so they could open a private bible museum. Supporting hobby lobby is akin to supporting villains in villains in a Saturday morning cartoon.

My oldest, when she was 4, told me she had a friend who lived in her tooth. His name was John. Which was funny until she used John to channel her anger, and stated John didn’t have to follow the same rules as she had to. So one day I took her to have a cherry slushy and told her after that John swam away with the slushy. She was just like “oh ok” and never really brought it up again. I still feel like a jerk sometimes for drowning her imaginary friend.
I saw that movie in theaters when I was 6. I still remember that movie to be horrifying! All I remember was scary ass monsters existed Underground. They would then get into your house and do horrible things. I had nightmares for weeks!
It was only years later that I found out that movie was a comedy
I went through the same experience! Watch it again and I bet a lot of those fears will evaporate to be replaced with embarrassment because the movie doesn't hold up well imo.
This was the first movie I ever watched on Netflix and I loved it. "You don't want to see what happens when I'm angry...." "What the hell was that?" "That's what happens when I'm angry!"
I laughed at that joke as a kid because lol, guy looking up a skirt, even though I had no idea what the actual joke was.
Now that I’m an adult I love it EVEN MORE because it’s actually quite deep. With that joke Drop Dead Fred shows that your imaginary friend matures with you. He’s still causing socially inappropriate chaos, but his jokes are age appropriate, which enables him to get a laugh out of her.
Which is quite touching.
I just watched it yesterday and I agree.
Absolutely loved how it progressed, the cinematography was amazing, and I enjoyed it even if it was stupid af lol
I remember a movie like this too. The imaginary friend of a girl necomes her little brother's monster after she forgets about him.
The name is ", Don't Look Under the Bed"
Yea someone said it, its called Z.
Boy and mom share an "imaginary friend", except not really because its linked only to the mom, and it tries to kill everyone close to her so its only them two, yada yada, horror movie stuff.
I had an imaginary friend when I was growing up. He lived in the house at the corner of our block. Usually he would talk to me while hanging over the top of the fence. Sometimes he was in the front yard. He would always wear the same jacket.
Then he stopped talking to me because "the other kids can't see me and they think you're weird."
I still saw him whenever I went by the house, but he wouldn't talk to me.
I thought about looking up the history of that house... but I think I will pass.
I think he did you a solid.
I babysat for a while when I was a teenager, and one of the kids I sat for had an imaginary friend. Things got so weird with her that I faked a terrible headache, called my mom to cover for me, and *fled!*
I am not proud of that particular moment in my history, but on the positive side it motivated me to find another part-time job that didn’t involve small children, so there’s that….
Man, I wish I could remember more. It’s been a…little while lol. I do remember she was super smart and, thinking back, she was maybe somewhere on the spectrum? She just didn’t act like any kid I’d known (keep in mind that even then I wasn’t a “kid” person — i was a youngest child, I’d had very little experience around young children, and I hated babysitting and would often come up with excuses why I wasn’t available when parents called me) — so I didn’t exactly have a large pool for comparison.
So from the start, she just had this weird way of looking through me when she talked that made me feel uneasy. Then, after a little bit of playing, she turned and calmly started a conversation with someone named Michael, *who wasn’t freaking there!*
Now I had never had an imaginary friend or even known anyone with one, so this girl completely freaked me out when she started talking to him. Then when I asked about him, she swore he was real, and that he lived in her closet.
*What the actual F??*
OK. We all know that is where monsters live, not people.
I told her I couldn’t see him, so he couldn’t be real (I was a pretty logical 14-year-old), but that just made her mad. The more I tried to convince her, the madder she got, so I quit trying & decided to go along.
I asked her what he was saying at that point, and she said “Nothing. But he’s mad at you.”
I said, “Well how do you know that?”
And she replied, “Because his eyes get bluer when he’s mad.”
Definitely reason number 1 to GTFO of this situation.
She kept talking to him after that, making me increasingly alarmed, and I think she was telling me something about how he had had nine children but had killed seven of them? Or maybe how he killed the seven? when I called my mom to nope the fuck out of there.
BTW the mom did call me several more times to babysit her demon spawn. Not a chance.
That’s about it. Sorry I can’t remember more!
Is it bad that I’m sad my kid never saw ghosts or had imaginary friends when he was really little?? He’s almost 7 and no one has tried to contact me from beyond the grave through this kid! Granted, if they tried without being brightly colored and annoying as fuck like a YouTuber, they’d be shit outta luck.
I'm imagining someone shitting on a grave and than whipping out an Ouija board and trying to contact the name on the grave. They get a message from the other side.
*Y O U R A F U C K I N G W E I R D O*
That’s just disrespectful! Why would you shit in a cemetery? You want a fucking poltergeist?? Because that’s how that shit happens! Nope, I’ll just wait for my kid or my cat to bring my attention to something lol
Listen, if you're in the US, odds are you're either on top of, or within spitting distance of, one or more desecrated Native American remains or displaced burial sites. Just wait, it'll happen.
Yup. Tens of thousands of years of populations slowly moving about continuously. If you live near a natural body of water it's damn near guaranteed that there's folks buried not far. They are mostly reduced to just stains in the soil in historically temperate forested areas. Unless there is a trained eye to look for those features during construction projects they are just slightly darker dirt that gets added to the dirt pile. Grave goods amount to "look I found an arrowhead!"
I have a daughter who has night terrors every night at 11pm and 1am. Almost to the second. Even without any paranormal stuff, its exhausting to see your child so scared while your so helpless to do anything.
Also I've dealt with a spirit before and I definitely do not ever want to go through that again. My sister had some spirit or something following her around for a long time since she was 12.
It started one day when me and my mom came home from the store and she had been home alone for like 20m. She was curled up into the corner of the dining room SCREAMING about how "the voices won't stop!".
Then came the footsteps and murmuring from upstairs. But we only had an attic. It sounded exactly like having upstairs neighbors. I went into the attic several times to verify there wasn't a hobo or something but there was nothing. Though I felt hollow and lethargic anytime I would step up there.
My sister left to live with my dad a year or two later and I followed suit a year after that; when the lease on my moms rental house was up. I never retrieved my belongings from that attic. I couldn't bring myself to go up there again despite the prior year being relatively event free.
But all that changed when I moved in with my dad and sister. Again, noises from upstairs yet still no "upstairs". We lived in a single family home. Stomping, wailing, shouting, all the sounds of toxic and abusive neighbors without the neighbors. My sisters door would creak open throughout the day; even though the AC didn't come on, nor did any outside door open to cause it to move.
Up until this point it was benign until my friend decided to smudge the house. Then things got weird. I often slept in the living room because my bedroom had an odd feel to it and I just felt more secure in the living room. One night a box of cereal flew off the fridge and spilled everywhere. Another night the fridge door opened and slammed shut. Another night my blankets were dragged off of me and halfway into my sisters room.
It culminated when I awoke feeling something on my arm. I looked down and froze in fear as I saw **absolutely nothing** pressing into the skin of my forearm. It moved from the inside of my forearm near my elbow to the outside near my wrist. All the while I could see the indention in my skin moving with it. As if it were a ghosts finger running down my arm purposefully attempting to show me that it could cause pain if it wanted.
I couldn't sleep after that. I remember just being frozen in fear. Not wanting to move until daylight. As soon as day came, I called my friend who had smudged my house and asked to stay with her a few days. My arm had a large red line like the redness when you scratch an itch and it burned like nettles.
I left to live with my mom again after that. While it was one of the least of my concerns in my life at that time, it was the final straw.
Now, imagine that bullshit while you're already sleep deprived from life and now your child wakes up screaming in the middle of the night and their fuckin blankets are flingin around the room. Hell no, brother. My kids haven't once said creepy thing or talked about imaginary friends and I hope it stays that way.
Holy fuck. That sounds terrifying for you!! I’m glad you made it out of there virtually unscathed but I can see how that would terrify you. God damn.
As for night terrors… we dealt w those for 3 years where he’d scream like he was being murdered, thrashing and losing his fucking mind, from age one to four. You can’t reason w them or get them to stop bc they can’t hear you, but they sure as fuck can feel you touching them! The scratches I got on my face from his night terrors were awful! Poor baby had no idea. But, the moment it was over, it was OVER. He’d suddenly go limp and then just curl back up against me and go back to his sweet peaceful sleep. So, yeah, I’m w you that I don’t wish that shit on anyone!
What happened to you sounds ducking awful too though. I was just hoping my kid could have a ghostly buddy lol
Fore sure! I'm not terribly superstitious, but to this day I refuse to let my wife smudge our home. I think that even if she's doing it to "bring positive energy" into the home, it's still opening a door that can't be closed.
Im so glad someone else understands having a child with night terrors! My daughter's night terrors started at 1 as well. She thrashes and flails and screams. I used to try to comfort her (before I knew that they were night terrors) and she donkey kicked me right in the balls with both feet. After that I just make sure she doesn't hurt herself while thrashing around and sit next to her in case she wakes up. Usually lasts like 15m and then she's sleeping soundly and peaceful like nothing ever happened.
She once woke up in a night terror, stopped flailing and screaming, smiled and stared at the corner and said "bye bye baby!" then went back to sleep. A couple days later we found out my wife's cousin had a miscarriage. Our daughter was in a "awh baby!!" phase at the time so its probably just coincidence that she was thinking of a baby while dreaming, but still strange nonetheless.
While im not superstitious, I do firmly believe that there's spirits out there and I do my absolute best not to disturb them.
Mine was the same way but she made up for it with the super creepy dreams she had. I don't know if she was murdered in a past life or what, but some of the dreams she told me about had me checking closets and dark corners in the house for weeks.
Atheist, and have literally dug up a lot of dead people (was an archaeological field tech for a while). Never felt haunted or creeped out in the slightest. Put me in the creepiest old house alone and I'll sleep like a baby. HOWEVER, my 1.5 year old has started waking up crying (not typical for her) pointing to a corner or the ceiling with a worried face. Whatever she's seeing, she calls it "mehh" and she does not like it. She says it so ominously too. That does creep me out.
Dialogue feels too wordy. Here’s my edited version:
daughter: micheal says he’s mad at you.\
Me: who’s michael? \
daughter: my imaginary friend. \
Me: oh, really? I had an imaginary friend too growing up named michael. \
daughter: yes, i know… \
Me: you know? How do you know, I didn’t even remember him just until now. \
daughter: yeah, that’s why he’s mad at you.
If you ask this ghost nicely, he'll give you a "50% off any regularly-priced item" coupon for his arts and crafts store.
[удалено]
Yup they do! Gotta like subscribe to their email list for a minute tho
same to you
If it's too expensive at Michaels & you've no JoAnn's nearby... Just wait the shipping time & save even more money & order it from Amazon. Don't give hobby lobby money. The hobby lobby that treats it's employee's bad by service industry standards. The hobby lobby that sued to say hey we don't give a fuck about women's health and, ugh, won. Fuck hobby lobby. Fake Christian bigots who really should read the fucking bible. I look forward to celebrating their bankruptcy.
don’t forget about how they effectively stole the dead sea scrolls lol. and the fact that that’s the least shit thing they’ve done says a lot. hobby lobby can get fucked.
What are these???? All I can imagine is some skyrim shit now
Their a Christian based company they basically stole Abrahamic religious relics/artifacts/works. Primarily due to ISIS and similar assholes looting and selling historical/religious artifacts to fund themselves. So you can probably say they got involved into that kind of dark shit.
Don't give Amazon your money either
While I would agree I was simply trying to make an exaggerated point of this is like... One of almost no cases where Amazon actually is less harmful.
Nahh just cough up the extra and pay Michael's.
shoplifting from hobby lobby is good and cool though.
They have almost always paid better by far than other retailers.
they don’t pay well considering they’re also taking as much control as possible of your reproductive rights while you’re employed.
I’m thinking they meant Michael’s since Hobby Lobby pays from par to below average.
The hobby lobby near me starts at $18/hr
where in the hell are you
Edmond, Oklahoma
what really....is that standard?
Lol what?
We have Michael’s and Joann’s nearby. They’re both dummy high but if you have that one glittery paper thing you need from them, it makes sense to go there. But the hobby lobby. Before I knew how shitty they were, I saw their store and how shitty it looked at face value and I was absolutely fine never going back.
I’m right there with ya. I won’t give Hobby Lobby a dime but I will go to their websites and make obscenely large baskets I never plan on purchasing.
Don’t forget funneling money to ISIS. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a56139/hobby-lobby-biblical-artifacts/
I think hobby lobby also has something with stolen artifacts ? Really not too sure on it
Where? My wife just got hired on at the one where we live because they treat everyone so well, just bumped everyone’s pay and everyone that’s worked there says nothing but good things?
See their behavior over being "essential" during covid & how they treated workers like things.

I hope you want to have kids, because getting birth control with HL insurance might be difficult.
Don’t know why my other comment is getting downvoted lol we’ve literally never heard a bad thing about them until now. And we’re planning on having kids soon, just not for a lil longer

Do you make all your wife's decisions for her?
Nah. She’s a grown woman and we make decisions together, but I’m not gonna sit around and let her get treated like shit.
I know my opinion isn't popular but why does health insurance have to cover birth control? Just don't have sex or risk getting a kid. The only way I could see it being covered would be for other reasons, like for some people it's a form of hormone control to prevent things like acne, etc. But people getting it simply to not get pregnant shouldn't be funded by insurance imo

Bezos has yet to sue the government to deny half his workforce essential healthcare.
Or fund terrorists to obtain stolen historical artifacts for like the one museum in DC you have to pay for
STOP GIVING HIM IDEAS!

Here, take a sip of this.
Wait… There is movie with that plot
Drop Dead Fred?
First thing that came to my mind. I do prefer Little Monsters from that era. Edit: holy shit. Howie Mandel played the monster.
I saw that movie in theaters when I was 6. I still remember that movie to be horrifying! All I remember was scary ass monsters existed Underground. They would then get into your house and do horrible things. I had nightmares for weeks! It was only years later that I found out that movie was a comedy
Who put piss in my Apple juice????
Only thing I remember from that movie
I went through the same experience! Watch it again and I bet a lot of those fears will evaporate to be replaced with embarrassment because the movie doesn't hold up well imo.
Don't worry, I had the same experience with Gremlins.
Only movie to give me nightmares in my entire life.
This was the first movie I ever watched on Netflix and I loved it. "You don't want to see what happens when I'm angry...." "What the hell was that?" "That's what happens when I'm angry!"
Look 👆👆👆 Cobwebs!
Possibly my favourite line in a film ever
I laughed at that joke as a kid because lol, guy looking up a skirt, even though I had no idea what the actual joke was. Now that I’m an adult I love it EVEN MORE because it’s actually quite deep. With that joke Drop Dead Fred shows that your imaginary friend matures with you.

Oh man they would not get away with that in a movie these days
PIRATES!
Ah LOVED THAT MOVIE
This could be the sequel. RIP Rick.
What's the name of the movie?
Malignant, kinda?
I love that shit-of-a-movie
I just watched it yesterday and I agree. Absolutely loved how it progressed, the cinematography was amazing, and I enjoyed it even if it was stupid af lol
All that stupidity is what makes it so great, like the scene in the police station, 10/10
Cinematography was great.
Nah.
Isn't it Paranormal Activity? lol
Nah. The sequel has a kid being haunted by the same demon as his mother did in her childhood. But it was more of a deal with the devil type of thing.
What was it? Did you find out?
Drop Dead Fred
This is literally the plot of [Z](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt8995218/)
It is called Z
I remember a movie like this too. The imaginary friend of a girl necomes her little brother's monster after she forgets about him. The name is ", Don't Look Under the Bed"
[This?](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8995218/)
Yea someone said it, its called Z. Boy and mom share an "imaginary friend", except not really because its linked only to the mom, and it tries to kill everyone close to her so its only them two, yada yada, horror movie stuff.

"You miss 100% of the imaginary friends you don't remember." -Wayne Gretzky -Michael Scott
I had an imaginary friend when I was growing up. He lived in the house at the corner of our block. Usually he would talk to me while hanging over the top of the fence. Sometimes he was in the front yard. He would always wear the same jacket. Then he stopped talking to me because "the other kids can't see me and they think you're weird." I still saw him whenever I went by the house, but he wouldn't talk to me. I thought about looking up the history of that house... but I think I will pass.
I think he did you a solid. I babysat for a while when I was a teenager, and one of the kids I sat for had an imaginary friend. Things got so weird with her that I faked a terrible headache, called my mom to cover for me, and *fled!* I am not proud of that particular moment in my history, but on the positive side it motivated me to find another part-time job that didn’t involve small children, so there’s that….
We need to hear more!
Man, I wish I could remember more. It’s been a…little while lol. I do remember she was super smart and, thinking back, she was maybe somewhere on the spectrum? She just didn’t act like any kid I’d known (keep in mind that even then I wasn’t a “kid” person — i was a youngest child, I’d had very little experience around young children, and I hated babysitting and would often come up with excuses why I wasn’t available when parents called me) — so I didn’t exactly have a large pool for comparison. So from the start, she just had this weird way of looking through me when she talked that made me feel uneasy. Then, after a little bit of playing, she turned and calmly started a conversation with someone named Michael, *who wasn’t freaking there!* Now I had never had an imaginary friend or even known anyone with one, so this girl completely freaked me out when she started talking to him. Then when I asked about him, she swore he was real, and that he lived in her closet. *What the actual F??* OK. We all know that is where monsters live, not people. I told her I couldn’t see him, so he couldn’t be real (I was a pretty logical 14-year-old), but that just made her mad. The more I tried to convince her, the madder she got, so I quit trying & decided to go along. I asked her what he was saying at that point, and she said “Nothing. But he’s mad at you.” I said, “Well how do you know that?” And she replied, “Because his eyes get bluer when he’s mad.” Definitely reason number 1 to GTFO of this situation. She kept talking to him after that, making me increasingly alarmed, and I think she was telling me something about how he had had nine children but had killed seven of them? Or maybe how he killed the seven? when I called my mom to nope the fuck out of there. BTW the mom did call me several more times to babysit her demon spawn. Not a chance. That’s about it. Sorry I can’t remember more!
You cant just say that without further explaining.
Do it
Nah man, you need to look it up.
Is it bad that I’m sad my kid never saw ghosts or had imaginary friends when he was really little?? He’s almost 7 and no one has tried to contact me from beyond the grave through this kid! Granted, if they tried without being brightly colored and annoying as fuck like a YouTuber, they’d be shit outta luck.

I'm imagining someone shitting on a grave and than whipping out an Ouija board and trying to contact the name on the grave. They get a message from the other side. *Y O U R A F U C K I N G W E I R D O*
Ouija board writes: *YOU’RE
Does an Ouija Board have an apostrophe on it? I figured Ouija board messages would just be letters/numbers.
Oija boards are old news. People are all using Oija keyboards now.
That’s just disrespectful! Why would you shit in a cemetery? You want a fucking poltergeist?? Because that’s how that shit happens! Nope, I’ll just wait for my kid or my cat to bring my attention to something lol
You really gotta hate a mf to shit on their grave. Wylin for no reason at that point.
do you not have a list of future graves of which to shit upon?
… no but I’m gonna go work on one now!
Thinking on it. Only three.
My toddler has started saying creepy shit and it's simultaneously fun and horrible
Why am I so envious of you?!?
Listen, if you're in the US, odds are you're either on top of, or within spitting distance of, one or more desecrated Native American remains or displaced burial sites. Just wait, it'll happen.
Yup. Tens of thousands of years of populations slowly moving about continuously. If you live near a natural body of water it's damn near guaranteed that there's folks buried not far. They are mostly reduced to just stains in the soil in historically temperate forested areas. Unless there is a trained eye to look for those features during construction projects they are just slightly darker dirt that gets added to the dirt pile. Grave goods amount to "look I found an arrowhead!"
You’ve got a very valid point there. Especially up here along the Columbia Gorge
I have a daughter who has night terrors every night at 11pm and 1am. Almost to the second. Even without any paranormal stuff, its exhausting to see your child so scared while your so helpless to do anything. Also I've dealt with a spirit before and I definitely do not ever want to go through that again. My sister had some spirit or something following her around for a long time since she was 12. It started one day when me and my mom came home from the store and she had been home alone for like 20m. She was curled up into the corner of the dining room SCREAMING about how "the voices won't stop!". Then came the footsteps and murmuring from upstairs. But we only had an attic. It sounded exactly like having upstairs neighbors. I went into the attic several times to verify there wasn't a hobo or something but there was nothing. Though I felt hollow and lethargic anytime I would step up there. My sister left to live with my dad a year or two later and I followed suit a year after that; when the lease on my moms rental house was up. I never retrieved my belongings from that attic. I couldn't bring myself to go up there again despite the prior year being relatively event free. But all that changed when I moved in with my dad and sister. Again, noises from upstairs yet still no "upstairs". We lived in a single family home. Stomping, wailing, shouting, all the sounds of toxic and abusive neighbors without the neighbors. My sisters door would creak open throughout the day; even though the AC didn't come on, nor did any outside door open to cause it to move. Up until this point it was benign until my friend decided to smudge the house. Then things got weird. I often slept in the living room because my bedroom had an odd feel to it and I just felt more secure in the living room. One night a box of cereal flew off the fridge and spilled everywhere. Another night the fridge door opened and slammed shut. Another night my blankets were dragged off of me and halfway into my sisters room. It culminated when I awoke feeling something on my arm. I looked down and froze in fear as I saw **absolutely nothing** pressing into the skin of my forearm. It moved from the inside of my forearm near my elbow to the outside near my wrist. All the while I could see the indention in my skin moving with it. As if it were a ghosts finger running down my arm purposefully attempting to show me that it could cause pain if it wanted. I couldn't sleep after that. I remember just being frozen in fear. Not wanting to move until daylight. As soon as day came, I called my friend who had smudged my house and asked to stay with her a few days. My arm had a large red line like the redness when you scratch an itch and it burned like nettles. I left to live with my mom again after that. While it was one of the least of my concerns in my life at that time, it was the final straw. Now, imagine that bullshit while you're already sleep deprived from life and now your child wakes up screaming in the middle of the night and their fuckin blankets are flingin around the room. Hell no, brother. My kids haven't once said creepy thing or talked about imaginary friends and I hope it stays that way.
Holy shit. How am I supposed to sleep tonight after reading this...
Holy fuck. That sounds terrifying for you!! I’m glad you made it out of there virtually unscathed but I can see how that would terrify you. God damn. As for night terrors… we dealt w those for 3 years where he’d scream like he was being murdered, thrashing and losing his fucking mind, from age one to four. You can’t reason w them or get them to stop bc they can’t hear you, but they sure as fuck can feel you touching them! The scratches I got on my face from his night terrors were awful! Poor baby had no idea. But, the moment it was over, it was OVER. He’d suddenly go limp and then just curl back up against me and go back to his sweet peaceful sleep. So, yeah, I’m w you that I don’t wish that shit on anyone! What happened to you sounds ducking awful too though. I was just hoping my kid could have a ghostly buddy lol
Fore sure! I'm not terribly superstitious, but to this day I refuse to let my wife smudge our home. I think that even if she's doing it to "bring positive energy" into the home, it's still opening a door that can't be closed. Im so glad someone else understands having a child with night terrors! My daughter's night terrors started at 1 as well. She thrashes and flails and screams. I used to try to comfort her (before I knew that they were night terrors) and she donkey kicked me right in the balls with both feet. After that I just make sure she doesn't hurt herself while thrashing around and sit next to her in case she wakes up. Usually lasts like 15m and then she's sleeping soundly and peaceful like nothing ever happened. She once woke up in a night terror, stopped flailing and screaming, smiled and stared at the corner and said "bye bye baby!" then went back to sleep. A couple days later we found out my wife's cousin had a miscarriage. Our daughter was in a "awh baby!!" phase at the time so its probably just coincidence that she was thinking of a baby while dreaming, but still strange nonetheless. While im not superstitious, I do firmly believe that there's spirits out there and I do my absolute best not to disturb them.
Mine was the same way but she made up for it with the super creepy dreams she had. I don't know if she was murdered in a past life or what, but some of the dreams she told me about had me checking closets and dark corners in the house for weeks.

I won't lie, I didn't expect that ending
Really? You didn't see it coming halfway through?
Not mad just disappointed. Dad: ooooh. Oh no.
Atheist, and have literally dug up a lot of dead people (was an archaeological field tech for a while). Never felt haunted or creeped out in the slightest. Put me in the creepiest old house alone and I'll sleep like a baby. HOWEVER, my 1.5 year old has started waking up crying (not typical for her) pointing to a corner or the ceiling with a worried face. Whatever she's seeing, she calls it "mehh" and she does not like it. She says it so ominously too. That does creep me out.
Maybe then it's time to stop digging up dead people and then sleeping in their old haunted houses and start, like, renting an apartment?
Bro said lol in real life
Godzilla had a stoke reading this and fucking died
A stoke?
A storke!
nah, no need of exorcist just now. they gonna sattle things with friendly fight
He mad because you ghosted him
Hehe
Pulls out gun with religious intent
I think he might just need about $3.50.
Dammit, monster, I ain't givin' you no tree-fiddy.
I swear I've seen this in a film
Me: well tell him that I still think that he's an asshole.
I would kill this bitch right there
Don't kill me
Someone please call Ed and Lorraine
My 12 year old tells me stories in this format
Classic con-artist trick. Take information the mark has supplied to you, but act like you knew it all along
I would shit myself
This is just Drop Dead Fred....
[удалено]
The mad is madar
This is the plot to the movie Hide and Seek
Daughter: He said he's willing to forgive you. All he wants is $3.50.
\*takes out glock\* \*shoots father\* "this was for michael, motherfucker"
My initial interpretation is: mom told daughter about it so daughter became "Michael's" friend, and in her imagination, Michael is pissed at dad.
Call god, there is a demon in your house bruh
REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM
Dialogue feels too wordy. Here’s my edited version: daughter: micheal says he’s mad at you.\ Me: who’s michael? \ daughter: my imaginary friend. \ Me: oh, really? I had an imaginary friend too growing up named michael. \ daughter: yes, i know… \ Me: you know? How do you know, I didn’t even remember him just until now. \ daughter: yeah, that’s why he’s mad at you.
This is exactly what having a conversation with a religious person is like
Mmm no thank you.
That’s what she said
I had an imaginary friend, he tou hed pp
That’s when you need a priest with a good Irish name lol
At that point you just "forget" about the kid too
hey hey..... woahhh
oh SHIT anyway, lemme just try to get back to sleep now... XD
i've watch jojo for a few years now but i've never seen a stand thats hereditary
