Lost Lydia | M.P. Pellicer

Lonely stretches of road all over the country are said to be haunted by the spirit of lost hitchhiker ladies, always trying to reach their final destination.


Like the opening of any gothic novel, it was a dark, stormy and foggy night on High Point Road (present day Main Street). A motorist carefully approached an underpass in Jamestown, North Carolina. The headlights illuminated a distant figure on the roadside. He thought perhaps it was a stranded driver, but he soon saw a woman wearing a long dress. Her dark hair blew around her expressionless face, and like an automaton she waved her arm to signal for him to stop. He pulled over to let her enter the vehicle despite a strange ripple that consumed his body that all was not right.

An Unlucky Place, An Unlucky Name | M.P. Pellicer

A family outing became the most unexpected moment when an otherworldly being made its presence known.


Over ten years ago Kim Davison and Jessie Lu took their children to Murphy's Hole, a swimming spot at Lockyer Creek in Queensland, Australia. An unknown photographer took a picture of the group, and it captured an uninvited participant according to Davison. It's a fourth child, that was invisible until that moment.

The White Thing of West Virginia | M.P. Pellicer

Imagine if you will, a creature found in The Island of Dr. Moreau, one known as the Sayer of the Law. However instead of a lonely island it is found in Appalachia and known as The White Thing.


It's also known as Sheepsquatch by West Virginians, and it's described as a large, bipedal creature reminiscent of bigfoot or a four-legged animal, larger than a dog with sharp, saber-like teeth. It's white with ram's horns and most alarmingly, known as being aggressive, smelling like sulphur and possibly carnivorous. The reported sightings are found in a mountain range known as Morgan's Ridge, in the counties of Boone, Kanawha, Putnam, and Mason.

The Russian's Ghost | M.P. Pellicer

Mines, both mysterious and treacherous are believed by the men that work there to be haunted. Sometimes these apparitions try to give a warning of pending disaster, other times they lure the living to their doom. In Grant Town, West Virginia the Federal No. 1 mine operated from 1901 until 1985 and was said to be haunted by a Russian miner.

In Grant Town, West Virginia the Federal No. 1 mine was built by the Federal Coal and Coke Company, and immigrants came from across the world to make a living there. But death could be found as well, whether from an explosion or rockfalls. They brought their language, customs and ghost lore.

Is There An Ancient City Buried in the Gulf of Mexico? | M.P. Pellicer

Is There An Ancient City Buried in the Gulf of Mexico? | M.P. Pellicer: For over 40 years, George Gelé, a retired architect and amateur archaeologist has visited an area 50 miles east of New Orleans which he believes is where the remnants of an ancient, submerged city can be found.

Off the coast of Chandeleur Islands, which are a chain of uninhabited barrier islands, are granite mounds, which Gelé refers to as“Crecsentis”.

Prior to the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 12, 000 years ago, this area might have been dry land.
