The hidden world of all things supernatural; a look inside witchcraft, spells, vexes, black magic and other spine-tingling supernatural phenomena.
Templo Mayor, Human Sacrifice, and Cihuateteo of Mexico City
When we think of vampires today, the most common image would likely be pale skin, long fangs, maybe a cape, and Victorian garb. That's popular media talking, though, that can be traced back to places like the penny dreadful Varney the Vampire; or, the Feast of Blood. But the concept of vampires goes much farther back than the 1800s and is present in nearly every part of the world.

Icons of Horror: Jason Voorhees
“His name was Jason…” - Pamela Voorhees. In 1980 writer Victor Miller and director Sean. S Cunningham crafted a horror film that would make critics start calling all in its class “slasher films”. That film was Friday the 13th and it’s central character’s name is Jason Voorhees. Ever since his conception he has been known as a silent killer who ironically speaks loud volumes of the American conscious. He is also one of the greatest icons in the history of horror.

Underneath Us All, And Unspoken
I know it's Down There, but I don't know what to call it. I don't know what it is - just that it's bad, Really Bad - because the grown-ups know it's there, too, but they won't talk about it. It's like they're scared it will hear them if they do. So it doesn't have a name.

Haunted School
Today I had to go to school early, because my father had to go somewhere and he dropped me on the way. I entered the school campus, only the security had by that time come. My class was on the second floor. There was also a bid window at the end of the corridor. Unusually the window was open and a soft wind blew in the hallway. I went to my class and sat on the last bench which is my favorite seat. I opened my drawing book and took my pencil to draw, but my mind was blank. I then closed the book and decided to look outside. I opened the window and started to admire the sky.

Paranormal Horror Stories
On a road trip from New Hampshire to Florida, I had to stop at a hotel to sleep overnight when I was about halfway there. The hotel was an old and somewhat dilapidated establishment that rested off the highway on a quiet road. There were only two cars in the parking lot, indicating that there were not many guests. The lady at the front desk was very robotic and seemed bored with her job, fitting the atmosphere of the hotel perfectly. The lobby was full of tacky chairs and tables that one would expect to find put out on the curb.
