Laundry Lady

Laundry Lady
10/1998

I was left alone at a new friends house while he ran to the gas station for cigarettes. I couldn't figure out how to use his remote so was stuck watching General Hospital, which made me think of my grandma. I was kind of lost in my thoughts when motion caught my eye, I looked up and saw an old lady standing in the hallway between bedrooms, holding a laundry basket. I knew my friend had roommates (who were out at the time) but I thought maybe someone's mom or grandma stopped by to do laundry and I felt that I should explain who I was and why I was there just in case. She didn't respond and I asked if she wanted to watch TV with me until my friend got back. She just turned and walked through a closed bedroom door. After she "left" I realized that there were no legs, just the upper half of the body and the basket. It wasn't scary and I don't think they were even aware that I was there. It was probably residual but I'd like to think she was drawn out by the soap opera.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
