Ghostly Shreds
You left a tissue in your pocket before you washed your pants. At dawn you are awakened by cottony little screams.
The Wrist
Some have reported seeing a wrist leering in at them through second and third floor windows and fogging up the glass. There’s nothing to worry about because it’s just a wrist.
Curl
This small spiral of hair lives deep in the crease of a borrowed book. You dare not blow on it lest the backdraft sends it into your mouth.
The Smooth Ick
Once a bar of Irish Spring soap, the Smooth Ick — located in a bathroom at the Ho Hum Inn in South Burlington, Vermont — has taken on regenerative properties and so cannot be replaced without great internal struggle. While its use will have little effect on the cleanliness of one’s hands, it does moisturize.
Hubbywyrm
Overheard baby talk exchanged between two people in a romantic relationship; occasionally causes third-party listeners to die or disavow human companionship.
Worrisome Chime
A previous resident has plugged in a cell phone and then obscured the area behind smartly installed drywall. When the mood strikes, she texts the device with ideas for inventions.
Hotcake Stations
No terrestrial origin has yet been found for these FM radio signals said to broadcast nothing but car dealership commercials and the song “Haven’t Got Time for the Pain” by Carly Simon.
Bag of Teeth
The only seat available on the train is next to a ziplock bag full of teeth.
Ethan Hawke
The famous actor.
Participants
During the Q&A portions of readings and panel discussions, a Participant may try to steer the conversation toward a thing they think you may not have thought about.
UOK
You don’t look okay. Are you sure everything is alright. We’re worried about you.
Tender Kissing Wraith
An old man presses his lips to your forehead then begins to walk away. “Wait, what’s your name?” you ask, once you’ve regained your composure. “My name is Kevin,” he says. You have never before met somebody so old with that name and it weirds you out.
Endless Breadsticks
A small steaming basket of garlic bread is spotted at the other end of a parking garage. Surprise, your car is gone.
