The Scar
Around a cozy fireplace, sat an old man and his two grandchildren. The old man held their interest by telling scary ghost stories and spooky tales, while the children smiled and listened. Their imaginations were ignited and while finishing another tale, suddenly he was interrupted.

BARKEEP
I stepped into the hushed establishment. Burnished and scarred wooden floors and walls, a bar lit only by a few scattered neon beer signs and a tiny TV on mute. No tunes from the jukebox. It was quiet. Smelled like dust with a side of spilled beer and Lysol. But it was just what I needed, a respite from the torrid sun. A place where I could sit at the bar, uninterrupted in my reflection.

A Step Toward the Light
“Daniel, have you knocked snow off the tents yet?” Aunt Kristie was busying herself in the kitchen. Making desserts was a popular pastime of hers, and everyone at tomorrow night’s church gathering would be expecting them. She could have looked out the arctic entry window to see the tents herself, but I knew better than to suggest she walk away from her mixing bowls.

Onibaba Monogatari (A tale of Demon Hag)
We hurried along the riverbank like fearful rodents. The night was lit brightly by the light of a full moon. We dashed from one patch of shadow to the next, hoping that the river’s rustling current would muffle the sound of our footsteps.

Some of the Most Haunted Churches Around the U.S.A
One of the places with more sanctity than any other is a church. Whether you're a devout Catholic, a Christian, or any other religious denomination a church is a place of worship, peace, and most of all, your private time with your deity and your prayers. But what would you do if the church you go to every Sunday has a dark past that involves hauntings and supernatural phenomena? Do you stay? or do you simply look for another? I wonder what the good Samaritans in the next following cases decided to do.

The Lake of the Innocents
Headmaster Percy Blackburn took his spectacles off and polished them with a cotton handkerchief. He repeated this habit often, which signaled to the girls of the Chiller’s School for Young Women he was agitated, upset over a perceived transgression from one of his charges. Euphemia Wood, his assistant, would immediately fetch him a glass of absinthe in response. It was a habit that repeated itself often.

The History Behind Haunted Mirrors and Other Superstitions
So why, exactly, do mirrors—and especially antique ones—have such a twisted reputation? Well, there are a few reasons. Curious, I went digging to learn more about the cultural, mythological, and historical customs around mirrors. Plus, obviously, I needed to know if this had any bearing on decorating with antique mirrors—is that basically inviting evil spirits into my house? Maybe you're just superstitious. Or curious, like me, about all things haunted. Or perhaps it's that you have a burning need to know what the folkloric origins of cursed mirrors tells us about our values and fears as a society. Either way, you'll want to read this before picking up that charmingly lived-in-looking mirror innocently propped up on the sidewalk or peeking out of a dumpster just in case it turns your lovely home into a haunted one.
