The Legend Of Henry Morgan
There are numerous accounts recounting the gallant experiences of Sir Henry Morgan and his relentless assurance for distinction and fortune. Routinely known as a privateer because of his frequently fierce and ill-conceived activities, he was in reality otherwise called a marauder privateer.

Creepy Creatures and Myths #2: The Man Under the Car
Though apparently never actually witnessed, the "slasher under the car"/ankle slicing car thief still haunts the public imagination. The idea is simple: Someone may be waiting beneath your car as you enter or exit the vehicle. Why? Probably to slice at your ankles and incapacitate you, then to steal your car, kill you, or do other unfortunate things. While most people don't fear stepping out of the car, such a tale might make someone hesitate to do so.

Creepy Creatures and Myths #1: Looking For Almas, Finding None
I have discussed the Almas before, back when I wrote for the website 1428 Elm and did my Call of the Cryptid series. In many ways, I'm trying to get back into that habit, because I occasionally like discussing cryptids and strange phenomena. As I stated about the Almas back then: "The Almas are described as 'ape-men' inhabiting the Caucasus and Pamir Mountains of Central Asia, and the Altai Mountains of Mongolia. Might they exist?... There are many accounts of the Almas, to the point where the creature sounds plausible (or semi-plausible)."

Bigfoot investigation
Well after gaining a doctorate certification in cryptozoology I decided to form a team. Months later Me and my team, my best friend carter, his cousin Joey, and carter’s girlfriend Athena, This is our first investigation and we are investigating Bigfoot. Carter is an aspiring horror movie director so while he was initially reluctant to do this hunt do to the potential danger I told him “it maybe dangerous but think about your movies think about how good the Blair witch did... you can capitalize on that by making a found footage of your own” and with that he was on board, I knew by using his aspirations it would get him to agree to mine. So we interviewed a lot of the locals as to what they seen and honestly a lot of the reports were Very similar to my facts given in my previous Bigfoot article that I wrote. and then the night came where we prepared everything our guns, our camera (Joey being the camera man), our flashlights and we went out to hunt.

Fun facts about bigfoot
* Some Bigfoot Species enjoy eating fruit?.. Ok so we all know Apples, apples are good, apples are healthy, but did you know than not only does an apple a day NOT keeps a doctor away, An apple a day also does NOT keep the Bigfeet away. Infact Bigfoot has actually been reported to have surfaced repeatedly in the Apple orchards of West Virginia’s rough country, where The oh so Delicious apples are very abundant. The one that has been reported on a rather consistent bases across the area and is about ten feet tall and weighs at least up to 1,000 pounds and has dark grey fur, it is fairly unique in the fact that it doesn’t seem to fear being seen by humans, like most Bigfeet do

The haunted sewer tunnels of Lawrence Kansas
So this was my first case as I was going to school for my doctorate in metaphysical sciences and needing a project for my finale thesis paper I used a local legend about a old haunted sewage tunnel system that was used by occultists back when it first got closed down and is now haunted by very violent demonic spirits. So naturally I grabbed my old friend Archie who was wereing jeans, a spider-man t-shirt and a hoodie, and I was wereing black custom made dress pants, a t-shirt with the university sign on it, and a bucatini made blazer (as I always were) and we went into the old drainage tunnels (although it was against the law to do so). Safe to say it was wet, dark, and smelled 9000000 times worse than the frito lay factory, But we tracked on thru the brown sludge like water that was filling our shoes like a river flood.

Payne of the Bite (Pt.10)
"With the "Higher-Ups" now testing the prototype specimen's full potential, the final stage of their scientific discovery had arrived. Experiments to redesign clinically insane criminals' genetic makeup had taken place by placing them one by one in testing rooms. The bio-weapon militia had begun to gather in various parts of the United States and had begun to change those within its population. Because it was the evolution witnessed firsthand in the underground facility that enabled those in charge to devise a plan to destroy the human race. The Darkness' takeover of the realm had begun."
