Tales by Firelight: The Last Recording of Uncle Joe
Welcome to Tales by Firelight! There’s something timeless about a ghost story. Long before television, motion pictures, or the internet, people gathered around fires to share tales of the unexplained. Strange footsteps in empty houses, voices in darkened woods, visitors who appeared long after they were buried. Some stories were told as truth. Others were invented to entertain, frighten, and remind us how the world changes after sunset.

I have a ritual to guide myself to sleep. I have to do it every night. If I don't, I won't sleep a wink, just stare at the ceiling as I pick at my skin.

A Child of God
Have you ever heard something that wasn’t there? When you are home alone and the door closes or the stairs creak. Do you swear that you left a window open or maybe it’s just the house settling because of the cold outside?

The Space Between Stations
Miriam first noticed the sound of a spoon striking porcelain: three uneven taps, followed by the scrape of a chair across what she thought was linoleum. Beneath these domestic noises ran a mechanical hum. She adjusted the equalizer and leaned toward the monitor, listening as water dripped into a metal sink and someone cleared her throat. The recording ended before the woman spoke, leaving Miriam with the peculiar impression that the silence had been interrupted rather than restored.

WITCH ROAD:
An abandoned farmhouse. Two sisters who lived far from the public eye. A child said to linger among the trees. And a lonely Wisconsin road where folklore transformed ordinary lives into something far more sinister.

1940‑Northern‑western France Rain lashed the concrete roof of an abandoned church cellar. The downpour blended with the static hum of a radio, sounding endlessly like the breath of some living thing.

“More dangerous than the undead roaming is the live one watching. Flower Mound Station out.” Heather dropped her box of supplies and the canned goods clattered all over the basement floor. The metallic clanging echoed sharply off the musty, sludge-covered walls. She dropped to her knees to pick everything up and Sherry rushed to her side, attempting to help.
