The Valensole Incident: Something Landed in the Lavender
Maurice Massé thought it was a helicopter. That was irritating enough. It was early on the morning of July 1, 1965, near the small town of Valensole in southeastern France. The sun had risen over Provence, illuminating agricultural fields that stretched beneath the summer sky. Massé was working alone.

The Vampire of Kisiljevo
The villagers already knew what was inside the grave. Or at least they believed they did. It was 1725 in the small Serbian village of Kisiljevo. Nine people had died within approximately eight days. Their illnesses had been sudden. Their deaths had been frightening. But illness was not what terrified the village.

The big blue light
Ever since I moved in with my future wife I had to accept some changes. She could only sleep with a form of noise, I woke up if a passing seagull sneezed. I was used to sleeping in a double bed with lots of space, now i had to wake up if I turned over so don't fall out of bed. The hardest part is her habit of having the noise coming from her massive tv, so she sleeps with noise and pictures.

The Allagash Incident: What Happened Above Eagle Lake?
In August 1976, four young men paddled into the darkness of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine for a night of fishing: Jack Weiner, his identical twin brother Jim, Charlie Foltz, and Chuck Rak. They were friends, artists, and outdoorsmen looking for the kind of wilderness experience that northern Maine still offered in abundance. Forests stretching beyond sight, isolated lakes, cold nights, and darkness largely untouched by artificial light.

The Phantom Raid of Dieppe

The English Channel stretched beyond it. Nine years had passed since one of the most disastrous Allied operations of the Second World War had exploded across this coastline.

The Ringcroft Haunting: What Happened at Andrew Mackie's Farm?
It began with the animals... In February 1695, on a lonely farm in southwest Scotland, Andrew Mackie discovered that some of his young cattle had somehow gotten loose during the night. There was nothing supernatural about that. Animals break restraints. So Mackie secured them again. The bindings were broken again. He made them stronger. Still they broke. Finally, Mackie began to suspect that something other than unruly livestock was responsible. He moved the animals elsewhere.

I Believe in Demons. I Just Don’t Believe in Christianity. Top Story - August 2026.
There is a slightly awkward flaw in my claim that I don’t believe in Christianity. I might believe in demons. Not necessarily Christian demons. I’m not picturing a red man with horns, a pitchfork and an administrative role somewhere beneath Satan. I don’t believe in the Christian understanding of God, I don’t believe the Bible is the divinely dictated explanation of reality, and I certainly don’t believe Christianity has exclusive ownership over whatever might be lurking in the parts of existence we don’t understand.

The Chained Man of Athens: The Ghost Story That Refused to Die
Long before haunted houses had creaking staircases, flickering electricity, or doors that moved by themselves, there was a house in ancient Athens where people were afraid to sleep. Because every night, the chains began to move.

The Mystery of the Sarah Joe...
In September 1988, marine biologist John Naughton stood on one of the most isolated pieces of land in the Pacific Ocean and stared at a small, battered boat. He had seen that boat before, or at least, he had spent days searching for it, nine years earlier and more than two thousand miles away. The faded registration numbers on the hull confirmed what seemed impossible: the boat was the Sarah Joe . And somewhere nearby was a grave...
