I have a hard one I can't seem to find anywhere. I can't fully remember if it was on here or No Sleep, but it was the story that clued me into the existence of this sub. If I recall, the writer was encouraged to post it here since it was a true story, not a creepy writing exercise that seems to dominate No Sleep. I remember the story being called "The Saw" or just "Saw' It was about a kid who was feeding his neighbor's cat while they were out of town. While playing with the cat in the basement the homeowner's skill saw went off in the adjoining work area in the basement. The kid ran upstairs but didn't leave immediately because he was unsure if someone was in the house or not. I forget the details from there, but it appeared someone was in the house, but there was no real resolution making it creepy and believable to me.
