The Man on the Radio
This is a true story of when our family moved to Shelton Laurel, a small community in Marshall, North Carolina, I was a boy of about six. The old farmhouse stood at the end of a dirt road up a holler, and neighbors who knew the place warned Daddy that a man had died inside and his spirit had never left. Daddy paid them little mind. He had six children to feed, and a five-room farmhouse with a sound roof, land for a garden was the best he could do for the price.

The Frequency After Midnight
At 12:17 a.m., the radio turned itself on. Elias noticed because the radio had not worked in nine years. It sat on a shelf above his workbench, a heavy black receiver inherited from his father, its tuning dial cloudy with age. He had kept it because throwing it away felt unnecessarily final.

LUNA
The only sounds in the room were the keyboard clicking and the light tapping of the mouse. Both screens of the dual-monitor setup glowed brightly in the darkness as night set over the world outside. The world that told Luna she would never make it as a content creator was now being left in the dust by her rising subscriber count.

The Mount Vernon Monster: Nine Months of Screams in Washington's Shadow
The Sound in the Darkness On a May morning in 1979, Fairfax County game warden Ralph Stickman was leaving the woods near Mount Vernon, Virginia. He had been waiting for something. For months, residents of the surrounding neighborhoods had complained about an unsettling sound that emerged after dark. It came from the trees, sometimes seeming close enough to the houses that people could hear it through their windows. The descriptions varied. Some called it screaming. Others described a long, mournful wail. Whatever produced it had remained remarkably difficult to locate.

The Bus To Not In Service
He had run for the bus and just leapt on it. He thought it was the one to the town centre because that was the one that was due. He had a season ticket that he flashed at the driver, who seemed unnaturally dark, but maybe that was because it was cloudy and looked like it was going to start to rain.
