The Baby Monitor Laughed Back at Me

Static crackled from the baby monitor. My daughter’s room was silent, but I heard a low, guttural giggle—too deep for a child. I froze, every hair on my arms standing up. I watched the monitor’s screen: empty crib, moonlight pooling on the floor. The laugh came again, closer, layered with words I couldn’t quite catch. I pressed my ear to the wall. Nothing. When I opened her door, she was asleep, untouched. But the monitor’s red light blinked, recording. I played it back. My own voice, distorted, whispered: “I see you.” I haven’t slept since. #ParanormalEncounter #TrueHorror #SleepWithTheLightsOn #Spirituality

The Two Stages of Gemini’s Inner Struggle

Geminis experience their inner turmoil in two distinct phases. The first phase is all about externalizing their emotions. During this time, they’ll vent wildly—pouring their frustrations and unhappiness out into the world. If you scroll through their social media, you might find long rants, sharp complaints, and candid confessions. But here’s the catch: despite all that noise, this external venting doesn’t truly bring them peace or resolution. That leads to the second phase. Suddenly, the outgoing Gemini seems to vanish—quiet, withdrawn, like a ghost in the digital world. This is when they retreat inward, entering a moment of deep self-reflection. It’s their way of making peace with themselves, talking themselves through the storm again and again, trying to let go of whatever’s causing the internal conflict. The charming, witty Gemini you know in social settings is actually wearing a mask — their social ease is baked into their nature, a role they perform well. When they’re down or feeling emo, no amount of social charisma or humor can heal them. Instead, they seal themselves off, seeking solitude in their own private world. This inward quest is Gemini’s true way of self-healing. The outside world often expects Geminis to fit neatly into predefined boxes. But Geminis prefer to listen to their inner voice, thriving in their personal utopia. When facing problems, they rarely ask others for answers. Instead, they rely on their own reflections and trial-and-error to uncover the truth. #Entertainment #Astrology #Gemini

I Shouldn’t Have Answered That Midnight Knock

I used to laugh at ghost stories. Then, last winter, I heard the knock—three sharp raps at 12:17 AM. My phone buzzed: a text from my own number. Just one word: "Open." I watched the peephole. Nothing. But the air on the other side of the door shimmered, like heat on asphalt. I opened it anyway. The hallway was empty, except for a single muddy footprint facing my door. Every night since, 12:17 AM, the knocking returns. The footprint multiplies. I scrub, I lock every bolt, but the pattern grows. Last night, I woke to muddy prints circling my bed. If you hear a midnight knock, don’t answer. Please. I wish I hadn’t. #TrueHorror #ParanormalEncounter #SleepWithTheLightsOn #Spirituality

The Film That Fashion’s Been Stealing From for 20 Years

It was never supposed to be stylish. Gummo (1997) is a film that reeks of rot—rusty bathtubs, broken towns, kids numb from too much nothing. And yet… fashion keeps crawling back to it. Chloë Sevigny didn’t dress those characters to look cool. She raided thrift bins, borrowed her own closet. Metal tees, animal prints, ripped tights—filthy, jarring, real. That “just threw it on” chaos? It’s been ripped off by runways ever since. Supreme printed its scenes on tees. MSGM rewrote its dirt-core angst into glossy fabrics. Gummo never asked to be a muse—but the world, starving for authenticity, turned to its decay. Maybe we keep copying it because it didn’t try. Because real doesn’t age. Which movie’s fashion hit you like that—raw, wrong, unforgettable? Drop it in the comments. I want to know. #entertainment #movie #gummo

I Heard a Warning No One Else Did

I’ve always been able to see and talk to ghosts. Weird? Yeah. Scary? Not usually—I even play horror games for fun. But this one night still shakes me. My two brothers and I were outside, playing in the dark, like a real-life horror game. Then we heard scratching from the garage. Normal farm noises, I thought. But then, a voice—clear as day—said, “leave.” I asked if one of them said it. They looked at me like I was crazy. They hadn’t heard a thing. Only I did. That’s when I knew we had to get out. I made up a story about a creature just so they’d listen. We left. Did I do the right thing? I don’t know. But I’m glad we left. #UnseenWorld #QuietFears #GhostWhispers #NoFilter

Free Things to Do at Balboa Park

I just had the most amazing day at Balboa Park, San Diego's jewel that's open 24/7 and completely free to enter! The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a variety of options. Although some exhibits and attractions have an entrance fee, I found plenty of things to do without spending a penny. I started my day with a hike in Palm Canyon. The trail, beginning near the Mingei Museum, led me on a raised boardwalk into a lush palm forest that felt like stepping back in time. For a longer hike, I headed to the Sixth and Upas Trails Gateway. The well-marked trails, ranging from 1.5 to 6.6 miles, wound through beautiful oak-shaded paths, offering a serene escape. Even though many of Balboa’s museums have an admission fee, I discovered free gems like the Timken Museum of Art, boasting masterpieces from Rembrandt to Copley. Then, I relaxed in the Botanical Building, surrounded by ferns and orchids, and even spotted a turtle in the lily pond outside. For some unique entertainment, I checked out the Velodrome races on a Tuesday night. Watching local cyclists zoom at incredible speeds around the track was thrilling and completely free! I also enjoyed the Twilight in the Park concert series at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, with captivating organ concerts every Sunday. My weekend was made special with a visit to the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages. Each cottage celebrates a different nation's culture with open houses and lawn programs featuring live music, cultural displays, and delicious culinary samples. While they welcome donations, there's no admission fee. Balboa Park truly offers something for everyone, and it’s incredible how much you can explore without spending a dime. I can't wait to go back!

What is your most favorite musical you have ever seen?

I will DIE on the hill that Jesus Christ Superstar is a masterpiece, though I’m not religious at all. People always look at me sideways when I tell them I’m obsessed with a show about Jesus. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to be Christian to appreciate incredible storytelling about power, betrayal, celebrity, and what happens when regular people get caught up in something way bigger than themselves. It’s timeless. #Theater

The Dolls Watched Us. Then The Clown Appeared.

We called it the Creepy Doll House. Two porcelain dolls, frozen in a second-floor window, staring down at the street. The place was abandoned—foreclosed, neighbors said. Bank-owned. Empty. Until the clown showed up. One afternoon, a mask appeared in the front window. White face. Red grin. Watching where the doorbell rang during our ding-dong ditches. We asked around. No squatters. No workers. Just a hollow house with dolls upstairs… and now a clown below. The family who lives there now has no idea. But I still bike past slower sometimes, eyes glued to that window. (Some doors stay empty for a reason.) #ChildhoodHorror #Unexplained #NoSleep
