Two abandoned-place creators enter an untouched Eastern Oregon house where child ghosts warn them to leave before the hungry things arrive. Brandon hopes a new location will build on the modest success of his channel, Abandoned with Brandon. Dan from LostEndFound leads him to a Gothic desert house abandoned after a mother murdered her children—and where two of Dan’s friends died only weeks earlier. Inside, the bloodied ghosts of a boy and girl repeatedly say the house is not safe, but retrievin...

Los Angeles opened fire on an unseen target in February 1942, launching more than 1,400 anti-aircraft shells even though no enemy plane was confirmed. Only weeks after Pearl Harbor—and one day after a Japanese submarine shelled the Ellwood oil field—air-raid sirens ordered a countywide blackout. Searchlights swept the sky while the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade fired from approximately 3:16 to 4:14 a.m. Falling fragments damaged buildings and vehicles; three people died in traffic accidents and ...

A wounded traveler shelters in an abandoned château and discovers a portrait so lifelike that its creation hides a fatal act of artistic obsession. Carried into the remote house by his servant, the narrator rests in a dark room filled with paintings and a book explaining their histories. When he moves a candle, the light reveals the oval portrait of a young woman. Her face appears not merely skillful but alive, and the effect compels him to read how the image came to exist. The woman loved the...

A Missouri trailer park converted into a Dixie Mafia meth lab comes under attack from hungry tyrannosaurs in a creature-feature bloodbath.

Enforcer Leslie Bonner has arrived at the Gables outside Fortune to punish them and relocate the operation. Then something with curved teeth and a muscular tail crashes into the trailer, proving that organized c...

Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas in 1996; nearly thirty years later, Duane “Keffe D” Davis became the first person tried in connection with the rap icon’s murder. On September 7, Tupac attended the Mike Tyson–Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand and later rode with Death Row Records cofounder Marion “Suge” Knight. At a stoplight near the Las Vegas Strip, a white Cadillac pulled alongside their BMW and someone opened fire. Tupac was struck multiple times and died on September 13 at age ...

A scholar’s wife dies after studying forbidden philosophy, but her identity appears to return through the daughter born at the moment of her death.

Her unnamed husband is first fascinated by her intellect, then increasingly repelled by her presence. As illness consumes her, she predicts that he will love the child she le...

A slumber party prank targets the odd girl out, but the familiar Bloody Mary mirror ritual opens the door to something much worse than embarrassment. Once the name is spoken, fear spreads beyond the bathroom and into the relationships between the girls who started it. Set in Strickfield and connected to Madelyne’s uneasy school life, the story turns bullying, peer pressure, and a dare in the dark into a supernatural reckoning. The question is no longer whether Bloody Mary is real, but what she...

Nineteen-year-old David Hadaway was found murdered near the Ohio State University campus in 1986, leaving Columbus investigators without a publicly identified suspect or motive. Known to friends as “Diamond Dave,” Hadaway was a Mifflin High School student with no known connection to serious crime. His body was discovered on July 21 near the university area after he had attended a weekend gathering on North High Street. The condition of the scene suggested a violent attack, but investigators cou...

Five workplace horror stories clock in with murderous bosses, dangerous customers, dead-end jobs, and careers that become literally cutthroat. “Punching the Creepy Clock” turns familiar nine-to-five frustrations into a varied anthology of occupational dread, where surviving the shift matters more than earning overtime. The workplace settings make everyday pressures part of the threat: supervisors control access, customers cross boundaries, financial need keeps people from walking away, and a r...

Brothers Brandon and Mickey rob a country estate and interrupt an occult initiation that transforms their easy score into werewolf horror. The small-time thieves follow a wealthy woman from a bank, convinced that stealing one safe-deposit box will be simpler than robbing the whole building. Brandon brings the loaded gun and constant criticism; Mickey brings an unloaded weapon, a Hawaiian shirt, and a talent for making every plan harder. Their bickering carries them through a locked gate and int...

Haunted photos, a house that comes with a cemetery and more lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. Photographs offer an apparent record, which makes an unexplained figure or impossible detail especially persuasive to people who want evidence of a haunting. Crybaby Bridge legends work differently, attaching repeated rituals and tragic backstories to local roads. A property sold with its own cemetery and the bizarre Cocaine Cat story push the conversation from supernatural claims into odd n...

A young heiress runs from a killer into Strickfield’s toxic backwoods, where a freezing river changes her into something that can survive—and hunger—beneath the snow. In “Blood and Snow,” Veronica Grande unexpectedly inherits her father Oliver’s fortune and discovers that family money can make blood relatives deadly. Pursued into the wilderness during a blizzard, she is shot and falls into a contaminated river. The water heals her wounds but leaves her snow-white, ravenous, and no longer entire...

Veronica thinks she has escaped a murderer until the storm swallows the road, bullets tear into her, and she dies beside a strange river that should not be warm. Something in those wat...

A tiger shark vomited a tattooed human arm at a Sydney aquarium in 1935, opening one of Australia’s strangest and most tangled murder investigations. The shark had been captured and displayed at the Coogee Aquarium and Swimming Baths. On April 25, it regurgitated a man’s forearm in front of visitors. Investigators determined that the limb had not been bitten away by the animal; it had been cut from a body. Fingerprints and a distinctive tattoo identified the victim as James Smith, a former boxe...

The conversation centers on Strand’s path through horror and dark comedy, the craft and career behind his books, and a lively exchange between working creators.

NFL superstar Carlton Gold turns to a demon when interceptions threaten his season, only to learn that talent is not the weakness being tested. “The Golden Dream” rose from poverty to become a first-round draft pick, two-time Super Bowl champion, and owner of a half-billion-dollar contract. Now three bad games have made him question everything. Mister Day, a corpse-pale fixer wearing the championship rings of former clients, insists Carlton does not need more athletic ability. He needs a very d...

Railroad workers in Defiance, Ohio, reported a towering wolf-like figure stalking the tracks in 1972, creating one of the state’s most enduring cryptid legends. The encounters centered on the Norfolk & Western rail yard near downtown. Workers Ted Davis and Tom Jones described a large, hairy creature with an animal-like head and a powerful build. In one account, the figure approached with a wooden board before disappearing into the darkness. Other reports soon followed, drawing newspaper attenti...

Theodore and Esme hide inside the Galleria after closing, where a corrupt security guard’s robbery interrupts the ancient vampires’ anniversary.

In reality, Esme saved Theodore from the Black Death in 1348, and the immortal pair have spent nearly 680 years traveling together. The Galleria is one of Esme’s favorite places, so Theodore arranges a private night of stores, food-court treats, new clothes, and a movie...

Black-Eyed Children, haunted rings, and the real story that inspired Cocaine Bear lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. The episode’s subjects move from a modern paranormal legend to the frightening history attached to objects, then into one of the strangest animal stories to enter popular culture. That variety is the point of Monthly Spooky: one conversation can compare folklore, alleged encounters, bizarre news, and horror entertainment without pretending they carry the same kind of ev...

As technology grows more intelligent, a hidden presence behind the screen reveals an appetite more dangerous than knowledge. Shane Migliavacca’s “Ghosts in the Machine” blends digital paranoia, artificial intelligence, and supernatural horror, asking whether the device is haunted—or whether the machine itself has learned to hunt. The story focuses on the anxiety behind increasingly capable technology: a machine can observe, learn, imitate, and remain present in the most private parts of daily ...
