1. 'This new old house' by BatoutofHell821
We bought an old house, my boyfriend and I. He's in charge of the "new" construction – converting the kitchen in to the master bedroom for instance, while I'm on wallpaper removal duty. The previous owner papered EVERY wall and CEILING! Removing it is brutal, but oddly satisfying. The best feeling is getting a long peel, similar to your skin when you're peeling from a sunburn. I don't know about you but I kinda make a game of peeling, on the hunt for the longest piece before it rips.Under a corner section of paper in every room is a person’s name and a date. Curiosity got the best of me one night when I Googled one of the names and discovered the person was actually a missing person, the missing date matching the date under the wallpaper! The next day, I made a list of all the names and dates. Sure enough each name was for a missing person with dates to match. We notified the police who naturally sent out the crime scene team. I overhead one tech say "yup, it's human." Human? What's human? "Ma'am, where is the material you removed from the walls already? This isn't wallpaper you were removing."

Ghastly.
I read all the stories on that page. They're great!
Check out the various stories of hauntings in the Congdon Mansion in Duluth, MN. I've toured the place a couple of time...
Yea, I did enjoy them, also.
I read a few of those. Those writers are great at creating sheer terror in just a few paragraphs.
I wish I had that talent. I get lots of ideas, but cannot get them from my head to the paper.
We should try working together on something sometime.
I think I would enjoy that.
Very clever short short story.
I thought so.
I knew something was amiss when she spoke of her boyfriend converting the kitchen into a bedroom. Nobody would do that because of the plumbing and wiring.
Yea, but fun reading.
Yikes
A little unnerving.
Do you want salt with that?
Probably. And a little bar-b-q sauce wouldn't hurt.
All kidding aside...is this a true story? It wouldn't surprise if it is because there are some sick, twisted puppies out there.
As far as I know - not a true story, but I imagine out there somewhere this has happened.
