A Nuclear Horror
It is the TV show capturing the horrifying events which accumulated in the worst nuclear disaster in history—Chernobyl. But perhaps what is most frightening of all, is this TV show, now regarded as the greatest ever made, tells the story of a real-life disaster which proves fiction isn’t always as terrifying as fact.

Odeon Cinema In 1946, 2000 people attended the Odeon Cinema in Bristol to watch the movie, The Light That Failed. The main character, early on in the film, was blinded after being shot—when at the exact same time, with the audience completely unaware, 33-year-old cinema manager Robert Parrington Jackson was shot dead in his office in the same building. The father of four was discovered at 6:45 PM by the cinema café supervisor and died in hospital later that evening. The murder is still officially unsolved, despite a confession by a Welsh criminal on is deathbed in 1989.

Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 6 years ago in HorrorA Night in Chicago's Most Haunted Hotel
I very unknowingly spent a weekend in Chicago's most haunted hotel on Halloween weekend. Last year I booked a weekend for my then boyfriend (now ex) and I in Chicago. The plan was to road trip from Niagara Falls, Canada to Chicago and spend the weekend sight seeing and going to a Chicago Bears game. Trying to save money, as we are both students, we booked one of the most affordable hotels we could find through Hotels.com. His mom even offered to book it for us so we could use her discount code. She booked us two nights in The Congress Plaza Hotel.

The glorious roar and dazzle of the fountains left one last glitter in my eyes as the music to Frank Senatra’s "I Did it My Way" came to a close. Another gorgeous, romantic show at the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas. The online reviews were right. Those fountains were a “must-see.” I don’t know if it was the thrill of the show or simply the star-struck wonder of Vegas, but I leaned over the fountain balcony a few moments longer than everyone else, taking it all in. As the fountains sputtered off and the lights dimmed, I saw patterns left in the still, dark water from the fountain tracks used for the shows. They looked like alien crop circles under a wide, dark-blue lake. A strange chill swept over my body as I gazed into the depths of Lake Bellagio.

Lydia ByersPublished 6 years ago in HorrorEerie Places People Don't Talk About
I think it is obvious to all of us what people look for when trying to find haunted areas. It usually includes a building in which someone was murdered or where people were tortured.

I want to introduce a different sort of eerie; the one you really have to be in tuned with your surroundings to figure out what is going on.
