Back, a long long time ago, in 2011, the website Jezebel (full of blog-like commentary, articles, etc) asked for readers to post their scariest TRUE stories. This was the highlight of many people's October. In 2023, Jezebel announced it was closing, but then it didn't! Well, sort of. Anyway, the contest is back, and to celebrate, Nell is going to tell you her favorites from throughout the years.
