What happened ToThe Sodder Children?
In the early hours of Christmas Eve, 1945, a house fire devastated the Sodder family in Fayetteville, West Virginia. George and Jennie Sodder escaped with four of their children, but five others—Maurice, Martha, Louis, Jennie, and Betty—were never seen again. While local officials quickly labeled the fire an accident caused by faulty wiring, the Sodders spent the rest of their lives convinced that their children had been kidnapped and the fire set as a cover.

The Calder House
Everyone in town knew you didn't look at the windows of the Calder house after dark. Not because of anything that had happened. Nobody could point to an event, a date, a name. It was older than that — the kind of knowing that lives in the body before it reaches the brain. Mothers corrected their children without knowing why. Teenagers dared each other and then, at the last moment, looked away. Even dogs crossed the street a full thirty yards before reaching the property line.

The Beast of Bodmin Moor
There are places where the land itself seems to resist explanation, where the wind moves differently, where the silence feels less like absence and more like presence. Bodmin Moor, a vast and brooding stretch of wilderness in Cornwall, England, is one of those places. It is a landscape of rolling fog, ancient stone, and sudden isolation, where visibility can vanish in minutes and distance becomes difficult to judge. It is also a place where, for decades, something has been seen moving through the mist, something large, silent, and entirely out of place.

Ghostly Happenings in Connecticut
Innumerable Spirits The 1754 House Inn in Woodbury was formerly known as the Curtis House Restaurant & Inn and is known as a very haunted place. The structure is haunted by innumerable spirits, some going back over 200 years. Built in 1754, it is the oldest inn in Connecticut. People who stay in the rooms here have encountered the ghostly apparition of a Confederate soldier and the spirit of a former employee, Joseph Hardesty, as well as a female ghost who likes to wake up visitors in the middle of the night. A lot of strange noises can be heard like footsteps and disembodied voices.

Nightmares. Content Warning.
Introduction This is for a short horror experiment. Dhar told me that the Vocal Horror community did not have a minimum word limit, although this implies it should be six hundred words. I am just worried that with my intro, it will hit six hundred words, so this experiment may be futile 😁. It allowed me to publish, so there is no minimum for Horror.
