I don’t think I could do a sleepover in a creepy house LOL The worst thing shoved in a backpack? Toothpaste that had been squeezed all out. It was the “sleepover” tube and by the time I saw it, it was fuzzy….ew!

I would not want to go to a sleepover in a creepy house. I’m not a fan of being scared or feeling uncomfortable LOL

I would spend the night in a creepy house, however both my girls take after their daddy, and would never do that. As for the worst thing found in a backpack, that would be my daughters lunch that she lost at school almost two weeks earlier and forgot to give it to me once it was found.

It would be awesome to have a sleepover in a creepy house because there would be no sleep! The worst thing I ever found stuffed in a backpack was a crunched up egg salad sandwich from a field trip complete with crunky, molded chocolate cake. Yuk!

I’d sleepover in a creepy house if there was a prize involved and if I had company, otherwise probably not. Thanks

No creepy sleepovers for me. Too chicken. In one of my children’s back packs I stuck my hand in and my fingers went into a lump of rotten banana. :). That was a very entry long time ago and think I was pretty lucky since I had 7 kids and back packs to go through.

I would NOT go to a sleepover in a creepy house! I’m already scared of my own shadow.
April 25, 2017I probably found some very interesting things in my kids backpacks when they were younger, but nothing comes to mind right now.

I would not want to spend the night in a creepy house. My nephews on the other hand, would love to drag me to one. I am a teacher so finding things in backpacks that are strange is kinda normal for me. I have found all kinds of nasty food.

I would love to go for a sleepover in a creepy house – after it had been cleared by the team from Ghostbusters! I once found a no longer identifiable piece of fruit in our son’s backpack after he had been away for a week. Yuck!

The worst things I’ve found stuffed in a backpack are probably “treasures” that my daughter has found outside and left to rot in her backpack, but nothing too horrible yet!
April 26, 2017Nancy Luebke

Wouldn’t be interested in that type of sleepover. Never found anything unusual in a backpack.

The worst thing I ever found in a backpack was a KitKat candy bar. It had been in there forever, and was completely melted. The worst part? The wrapper was opened, because I had eaten half of it before I forgot about it. So, the chocolate was all over everything. Ew.

I would try a creepy house sleepover if I had my friend with me for support. Finding dirty underwear in one of the kids’ backpacks was gross. Crusty, nasty, gross.

Wouldn’t sleepover in a creepy house but reading about one sounds fun. Finding spoiled lunch in your backpack is gross.

Sleepover in a creepy house is not for me!
May 8, 2017Sunnymay

Nope. Just knowing about the house where they celebrated All Hallow’s Eve and seemed to have “witch” activities was enough to keep me away from the house set further back from the road than most. My sister was friends with a girl who lived there.

If I went for a sleepover in a creepy house, I would not sleep. The worst thing I’ve found in a backpack is an old lunch.

I love all things scary, so I’d definitely do a slumber party in a creepy house. Would I make it through the night as an adult? Probably. As a child? Probably not…. 😉

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever found stuffed in a backpack? Nasty old cereal and part of a sandwich in my son’s backpack. Oh man it was disgusting! I threw the the backpack with nasty food in it right in the trash!!

No, I don’t think I could take part in a sleepover in a creepy house. Haven’t had the opportunity to search many backpacks but my 3 year old granddaughter usually has M&Ms and Cheerios in the bottom of hers.
May 22, 2017Diane Richards

Visit, yes. Sleepover, oh no!
I am pretty good about my backpack and cleaning out really bad stuff. From time to time, there may be an uneaten, wrapped, beatenup old granola bar from a hike, but that is about it.
May 23, 2017Lisa Queen

I would love to have a scary sleepover. I’ve found some pretty bad stuff. Dirty underwear is the worse!

I most definitely would LOVE to sleepover in a creepy house, as long as my husband was along to protect me! lol… it sounds like a lot of fun:)
The worst thing I’ve found stuffed in a backpack was melted chocolate.. my son left a half eaten candy bar in his sports bag and set it next to the vent in his room… it was so gross and stained, I ended up having to throw it out.

A sleepover in a creepy house would be fun – as long as I’m not alone.
