The Creatures We Live Amongst
I've always wondered about the existence of magical creatures. Fairies, mermaids, unicorns, the basic shit. What I did NOT expect, is to find that we do live amongst fantasy creatures, just not the ones you'd expect. They call themselves The Vyxjids, and they are the most harmless beings ever, unless you cross their territory. And this is the story of how I did just that, and still, somehow (I truly don't know) managed to escape their power.

I've Been Here Before
1. I've been here before. This quiet little corner of this quiet little holler in the hills of Black Mountain. I came out tonight, the same as I always do. A whippoorwhill sang, a chorus of crickets as his backup. They were anyway. They've long gone quiet.

The 7 Best Italian Horror Films
Italy has given birth to some of the most influential horror movie trends in history. In particular I would like to highlight the sub genre known as Giallo that became popular in the 70's, as well as the Grindhouse gore flicks that followed in the 80's.

Free Coffee
After work, while waiting for my ride, I decided to go over to a local coffee shop and grab a cup of coffee. I strolled on over there, walked in the door, up to the counter, and ordered a medium coffee with cream and sugar, just how I like it. Don't judge!! The cashier lady was not my favorite cashier lady. She is a beautiful blonde goddess with angelic blue eyes, that I’d been crushing on for months. I didn’t see her anywhere. As a matter of fact, I didn’t see anyone else either. Just me and the “new” girl. An older lady, kinda creepy, with stringy gray hair, age spots, and these messed up looking green eyes. Anyway, she went to go make my coffee. Seconds later she came back with said coffee and placed it on the counter in front of me, rang it up, and told me the price. I, with anticipation of tasting this wonderful concoction that now sits in front of me, whipped out my debit card and proceeded to swipe it through the card reader. Then, the most horrific thing happened, those four little words that no one with a debit card ever wants to read, came flashing on the screen, UNABLE TO READ CARD. No, this can't be happening. So I swipe my card again, same thing, AGAIN, SAME THING!!!! Uugghhh!!! So the creepy cashier lady says, let me see if I can swipe it through on my side. Ok, anything at this point. So she swiped the card through on her side, same thing!!! Why, Lord, why. Meanwhile I can hear the coffee calling my name, Mike…Mike. Oh , the torture. She then looked at me and says, hey don't you work at the grocery store across the street. I say yes, yes I do. Here's the disturbing part. She says, It's "just coffee", you can have it on the house. The angel started singing, all the planets aligned and for that brief moment, all is right with the world. I got FREE COFFEE.

The Belle of New Haven
Chapter 1 In 1988 my husband Calvin and I and our 5 year old son John took a trip to San Jose, California. While there we decided to go and tour the infamous Winchester Mansion built by Sarah Lockwood Winchester. I will be honest with you, at the time I was nervous to enter into the house due to my past experiences with ghosts and knowing at this time, I was still an open vessel for these spirits to travel through. When we arrived at the the mansion, my curiosity took over any fear that I had so I decided to tour the house with Calvin and my son John. Although the house had the reputation for being a portal between the living and the dead, it's appearance said something quite different.

BERZERKER
I bear witness to fury. For I am it. Personified. I never tire of hearing a skull crack inwardly. To me it fills the void within my belly, albeit fleetingly. There is a deep longing here to see blood, pulse and spurt.

The Princess
How did The Princess take control of our message board, if only for a few seconds? It didn't make any sense. Our message board wasn't a video game. Our message board pulled all its information from the Internet. The Princess was already inhabiting a game at the same time. All the rules we thought we knew, all the things we thought kept us safe had failed us. Could she have done this at any time? Could she do it again? Were there any real limits to what she was capable of?

The Whispers
This is a story I do not often tell. I promise, sincerely, that this has scarred me for life and although I have looked into psychological explanations for what I heard and natural explanations for what occurred, they remain unsatisfactory.

Ghost Bro
My house was built in 1904. It is a single family home, wood frame setting on a concrete block foundation. I have been living here for about 12 years. Of all the weird things that my siblings and me have seen or heard in this house this one event is my favorite. This happened to my brother. About ten years ago my brother and his best friends had started a garage band playing mostly "Spanish rock," alternative music but in Spanish. His friends could only get together on Sunday afternoons. They would practice into the early evening, and they would usually call it quits by 8 pm. This was the time I usually showed up and went to bed, cause I worked the graveyard shift.

Boat Trip
14504105 07514504105 [email protected] Annie lay in bed unable to fall asleep, tossing and turning seeing the dim street light seeping through the windows with the crashing of the wind against the window. The rain beating down fast, and the bed feeling cold when she would turn. Why didn’t I turn the heat on she thought feeling very cold? Annie thought to herself, in the morning she is off for two days on this cruise she planned for weeks such a horrible weather in the month of July. But the rain and winds had taken over this small village of Sutterton in Linconshire, Annie looked at her night table to reach for her phone. Pressing the power button on the side of the phone, looks at the screen for the time with her eyes half open focusing without her glasses. Oh gosh she thought to herself its nearly four in the morning, and she will have to get up in few hours to leave. The excitement of the trip had made it difficult for Annie to sleep, imagining what she will get up to putting images in her head of the view’s, and then she slowly dosed off.

Why Our Interest In The Supernatural Prevails In The Face Of Its' Darkness?
Believe, or don't believe, that is usually the question around water coolers, between late-night colleagues, during pillow talk, or simply when our mind wanders. As small children, our parents and loved ones teach us not to believe in monsters or the "boogieman" and yet we find our paths drawn back to those horror stories. Once we are opened up to the realm of possibilities, then we will pretty much believe in anything. So, whether you may believe in the monsters and ghosts that others believe in, or you hide your head in doubt, there's a world of infinite possibilities out there. Some of those possibilities should, however, be left alone.
