“I still can’t drive through Belle Meade without my stomach dropping.” This is Rachel’s* allegedly true 1997 babysitting horror story from old-money Nashville after she answered a White Pages ad for a high-paying gig watching an 8-month-old who “doesn’t really sleep.” The mansion had power photos on the walls, an empty fridge, and a baby who only clung to an ancient stone pendant that looked 3000 years old.

He never ate. Just stared. Then one night a gaunt stranger in an outdated suit knocked, asking about “the heir” and warning about an “old debt.” Demon baby? Ancient curse? You decide.

Do y’all remember Michael Jackson’s 39 minute horror film from the 90s that was co-written by Stephen King?!

Co-written by Stephen King, the 1996 horror-musical short film Ghosts follows an eccentric conjurer confronting a mob of fearful townsfolk. Michael Jackson stars in multiple roles, most notably leading the cast as both the magical protagonist, Maestro, and his chief antagonist, the Mayor.
