People Look Back On Happy Childhood Memories - Part 5
"I had a pretty rough childhood, and I grew up without a father figure. I ran away from my awful adoptive mother at 15. I moved in with a friend and her parents, who were foster parents. When they got custody of me, they gave me the option to call them Mom and Dad if I wanted. Because I was trying to distance myself from my old life as much as possible, I did. But I didn't really know how to fit into a family, and I always felt like a mismatched puzzle piece. One day my foster father was driving me somewhere (I forget where, school maybe?) and Cherry Pie by Warrant came on the radio. I was a really shy kid, quiet, socially awkward, and easily embarrassed. So when Dad started singing along dramatically (and I do mean dramatically, as in top of his lungs belting it out and leaning over to my side of the car while he did the high notes in falsetto), I was horrified.

People Look Back On Happy Childhood Memories - Part 4
"When I was young, my parents had to work a TON just to make ends meet. They both worked at least 70 hours per week. My grandparents helped take care of me a lot. That being said, my parents weren't really able to be as present in my school-life... like helping with fundraisers, or field trips, PTA, open house, attending school plays/recitals/spelling bees. I was sad and a bit jealous when seeing other people's moms and dads around school, seemingly all the time. But I was a fairly precocious child, and I knew my parents were just doing what they had to do to take care of me. When I was in 1st grade (I think age 7), my class was taking a field trip to the zoo. My dad drove me to school that morning, just like any other day - except, this time he said he wanted to walk me to class. I was so happy just to get some extra attention and a few more minutes with him. Then, when we got to my classroom - he gave me the surprise of my life when he said he was staying to help chaperone our field trip to the zoo. I cannot even begin to explain how happy I was. They split the kids up into groups of 3 for the chaperones to take care of. My group ended up just being 2, which happened to be me and my best friend.

People Look Back On Happy Childhood Memories - Part 3
"We use to play this game called shark attack when I was a kid. It was big deal for the kids in our cul-de-sac. We got around 20 to 30 players for each game. The faster (usually older kid) would be the shark. Anyway, It was basically the most intense game of tag ever. Kids would climb on roofs, hop fences, and hide in sewers to escape the shark. Whenever the shark tagged another player, they too would become a shark, and hunt the remaining players. I usually got caught right away because I was pretty slow, and my brother and his friends would go out of the way to find me first. Well one game I decided to hide in my neighbor's shed. It was unlocked and you could lock it from the inside. It would have been the perfect hiding spot if it wasn't for the heat. As I waiting for the sharks to find the remaining players, I decided to look around the shed. There were quite a few bins, and I was super curious to see what was inside being a noisy little eight year and all.

"I was maybe 5 or 6, and I woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. It was that perfect time where everything is quiet and dark and it just feels so still. When I walked through the living room, my grandfather was sitting in his chair at the table, drinking and eating buttered saltines. He invited me to sit with him and have a snack, which felt amazing to me since individual time with him was extremely rare.

People Look Back On Happy Childhood Memories - Part 1
"Growing up, I didn't realize how poor we were. My parents were amazing at providing for us. We loved watching baseball games, and I wanted to go to a game so bad. We never could afford it. To make up for it, while we were at school, my mom made up tickets to that night's game and money for us to 'spend.' When we got home, she had set up chairs in front of the TV and numbered them.

People Share Their Real-Life Halloween Horror Stories - Part 7
“A few years ago, I was coming home from a night out on Halloween and saw a big, yellow thing crumpled up on my front lawn. I park my car and go look. It's a guy in a banana costume passed out cold. It's 1:30 in the morning and it's like 40 degrees out. I'm legitimately concerned for this guy's well being if I left him out there, so I called the police. Police show up and roll the guy over. He has vomit all over himself and the ground but appears to be okay otherwise. He has a cell phone in his hand. They take the cell phone and look and there are 6 missed calls from a number labeled ‘Boo Bear’ so they call it back and this is the conversation I hear - COP: ‘Hi, is this "Boo Bear"?’ [unintelligible yelling from the other end of the phone] COP: ‘Woah, hey, settle down. This is Officer XXXXX from the police department. Do you know anyone dressed like a banana? No, no, he is fine, sort of. He's passed out on someone's front lawn on (street name). Do you know where that is? OK, great. Look for the police car with flashing lights and come get him.’

People Share Their Real-Life Halloween Horror Stories - Part 6
“So my family and I went to this Halloween celebration that lasts for a few days. We were pulling a 5th wheel to stay in, glamping. When we got there, my cousin was helping to get the trailer set up and attached to the truck, and it wasn't secure. The 15,000 pound trailer almost fell on him! He rolled out of the way in time due to quick reflexes. We continue through the days having fun, and the night before we head home, our van breaks down (we took 2 vehicles, a truck and a van). Now, we're a family of 10, plus my cousin, and one of our transportation vehicles breaks down in the middle of the highway.

So one of the main events is a haunted hayride, They pile about 20 people or so into a big ole pickup truck with their legs dangling off the sides and drive slowly down this path of the woods at night for a good 30-45 minutes or so, with people jumping out from the trees to scare them.

People Share Their Real-Life Halloween Horror Stories - Part 4
“It was the night two days after Halloween, and I was having trouble sleeping because I had an exam the next day. I woke up for it seemed like the tenth time and had to stand up and get a drink of water, so I went to the bathroom across the hall. While I was pouring the water I heard a crying noise outside and moved over to the bathroom window. I was already feeling a bit scared and paranoid because the blinds were open and my bathroom light was on in the dark, so anyone outside could see me in my house. When I looked outside, I saw a tall figure covered in white clothes standing about a hundred feet from the base of my house (I was on the second floor) hunched over and eating a deer.
