The creepy guy being creepy is the main foundation for the story, but the actual conflict between the kids and the guy goes beyond anything we were expecting. This is easily one of the best twists on “creepy guy on our street is creepy” we’ve ever read. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 The Quiet Neighbor Absolutely read through these, then absolutely call your congressmen to advocate shutting down the US Forest Service. These stories touch on those primal fears, of when you’re trying to get your dog back to the car to make it out of the park before sundown, or when you’re out camping and nature calls after dark, so you go to the treeline and things start rustling. Everyone’s been out in the woods, everyone’s been out in the woods for too long, and everyone’s been out in the woods too late. The incidents the officer talks about in these posts are viscerally impactful. It became a little too much for our terrified caveman brains to handle, so we had to go watch reruns of Veep until we calmed down. Read I’m a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service None of this vulnerable abandoned cabin stuff for us, no matter what inheritance we get from well-off, deceased relatives. By the time the ending rolled around, we were swearing up and down we would only be spending the night in fully furnished, solid constructions. This story is on the shorter side, but the writer also makes some of the most economical use of words we’ve ever seen in a story.

But don’t let their prevalence distract you from just how scary these roads can actually be and “The Limping Woman” reminds us these stories exist because they work. So many devil roads, cursed highways, and satanist driveways exist across the US that you could probably make a cross country road trip from only ghost streets.
