Our tales for today are

Hunting in Rural Texas - There is something in the distance. It’s shiny and colorful and doesn’t belong there. You approach it curious, wondering what the heck it is and what the heck it’s doing in such an odd place. As you get closer you feel more and more drawn in, compelled forward by the mystery of the situation. You move almost as if in a fog, inexorably closer to what you hope will be an answer to your questions. Then you arrive at the bizarre out of place thing and stand back to ponder the possibilities. An old part of your brain, old as in paleolithic, fires up for the first time. The hairs on the back of your neck go stiff and tingle. Your checks go hot and flushed, palms start sweating. Your bladder suddenly is full and the urge to relieve yourself is overwhelming. You want desperately to hide or better yet disappear entirely. The mystery, the question that has drawn you to this exact spot was intentional. You’ve just walked into a trap… original poster deleted

My AT Ghost Story - Crank. Crackpot. Tinfoil Hatter. Wacko. Conspiracy theorist. We all know that person. The person that screams into the void. The one seeking the back of the internet because that’s where they keep all the truth. The friends of ours that see something odd and confidently look you in the eye and claim it’s clearly just a glitch in the matrix. Some of you fine folks listening may indeed be this person, in which case, we love you, no judgment. They’ve been around in one form or another forever. Before the modern age they probably got written off as religious zealots or maybe were prayed to as oracles. Our so-called crazy friend is just a modern day John the Baptist, Joan of Arc, or Cassandra. Regardless of the truth, or lack thereof, in the words and claims of these special members of society, the question always remains the same - what made them the way that they are? - story courtesy of Redditor charlesHsprocket
