Slashdot Ghost Stories?

Posted by Cliff on from the there-has-to-be-at-least-ONE-good-story-about-it-today dept.

clemens asks: "As Halloween is just around the corner, does anyone have good geek-oriented spooky stories to share? No, I don't mean that hey-freddie-is-creeping-out-of-your-screen stuff, but some after-wee-hours-in-comm-room-i-see-dead-people stories. Anyone?" I'm sure there are enough creative people out there that can come up with a few Scary Stories that are uniquely Slashdot. So if you're game, write away! CT here's my favorite :)

    It's not neccessarily a fog safety device. It's used extensively down here to bring attention to stoplights, especially ones that are as you described -- on a lonely road with few stoplights.

    They are quite annoying late at night, when you're going home after a long day of staring at a computer screen and there's this damn seizure inducing halogen light going blink blink blink at you...

    It's horrible, I tell you, _horrible_

    This is a variant on 'Poe Puree' written by Marcus Bales. Here is the official, unabridged, author-approved version. Marcus' is even more Poeesque IMHO.
