urban legend
Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.
Urban Legends That Inspired Horror Movies
Urban legends are a staple of living in the United States and being a teenager. There isn't a person alive who doesn't enjoy a ghost story, and among teens, that's basically all you can really do when you're hanging out together online.

The Black Eyed Children
What are the black eyed children, are they real or are just a myth? The black eyed children are supposedly paranormal creatures who are the ages between 6-16 years of age. They are creatures who roam the streets and go to houses and knock on people's doors to let them in. Why do they ask to be let in to people's homes? Is it because they want to kill you or just do bad things to you? What do the black eyed children do to people, do they put thoughts in your head to make you do bad things like Slender man does, or do they kill you? No one knows what they do to you, or if they are real or just a myth.

A Trilogy of Yorkshire Witches
As a child Halloween wasn’t the big commercial enterprise that it is now; I along with my sister and brother used to dress up in the obligatory home-made witch or wizard costume which comprised of a bin-bag gown, newspaper hat (coloured in with black paint), and my mother's papier-mâché warts and hook nose. Once dressed we would scour the estate knocking on every door “trick or treating,” returning home some hours later with bags full of sweets. Then we would sit in our bedrooms late into the night scaring the hell out of each other with various ghost stories, often going to bed terrified having convinced ourselves that every shadow or noise in the dark was supernatural. My favourite stories were always the ones about witches, and today they are still my favourites.

The Dover Lights
The Ozark National Forest in northern Arkansas is 1.2 million acres of some of the best that the Natural State has to offer in terms of camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. It is also the home of a mysterious phenomenon that has been recurring almost every night since the 1800s; the Dover Lights.

The Michigan Dogman
I've been interested in Cryptozoology, the paranormal, and supernatural all my life, but I'd never had such a clear encounter with anything until sometime in mid-October, 2016 in West Michigan.In my home, we have a large picture window that allows us to see the neighbors' backyard, garden, and the road in front of the house. My dog spends most of his day looking out this window, barking at the people and their dogs as they pass by. Usually, this usually happens toward the beginning of the day, rarely in the evening. So, when he starts growling at the window at 9:00 at night, I glance out to see what he could be looking at, concerned that someone is up to no good and lurking around.

Comte de Saint Germain
I wrote about Comte de Saint Germain a few years ago. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original article. Before I wrote it, though, I had never heard of this man. I don't actually remember how I discovered him or why. I was recently reminded of him during an episode of Warehouse 13.
