The Ghosts of LaLaurie Mansion | M.P. Pellicer

In New Orlean's Vieux Carre sits a house with an old-fashioned facade. Even before the turn of the 20th century, the Franco-Spanish residents of the old faubourg would whisper, "la maison est hantee",


After nightfall many walked past it with hurried steps. They were afraid to peer upwards and see the figure of a ghost child that haunted the rooftop once decorated by a latticed belvedere.

The three-storied home at 1140 Royal Street (Rue Royale) stood empty and ruined for many years.




The Hopkinsville Goblins | M.P. Pellicer

A story of a family's night of terror


On the night of August 21, 1955, Russell Greenwell, Hopkinsville’s (Kentucky) police chief received an unexpected call at his home from the officer on call. He jumped into his clothes and drove to the station. There he met several scared adults and children. The family lived a few miles away in an area known as Kelly Station. He could tell by the look on their faces that something really happened to this group of people.




Silhouette in the Sky | M.P. Pellicer

Mystery of Flying Humanoids and Other Cryptids


On April 26, 1986, the No. 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in northern Ukraine experienced a lethal nuclear accident. Several explosions culminated in an open-air reactor releasing radioactive contamination for nine days. In the aftermath stories circulated of a flying humanoid figure with glowing red eyes seen days before the incident.




THE DEAD MAN TRAPPED INSIDE A MANNEQUIN | M.P. Pellicer

About 150 years ago a French taxidermist named Jules Verreaux created a diorama named Lions Attacking a Dromedary, which portrays a man battling two lions.


Since it was first placed on the display, many have marveled at how realistic the man’s face was, and a discovery made as to what’s really under the plaster made it clear why it appeared so lifelike.

​In 1869, two years after this taxidermy diorama also known as Arab Courier Attacked by Lions was created, it was shipped off to the American Museum of Natural History in New York.




GHOSTS OF THE MAGIC CITY | M.P. Pellicer

Prickly skin, a feeling that you're being watched or there's someone standing right behind (when there isn't) and a drop in temperature are all the hallmarks of the unearthly.


In Miami there are certain places where you're more likely to have these encounters with the other side.


"It was a dark and stormy night", the overused trope of gothic novels and low-budget films, can cause one to overlook that amongst the humming of insects, and the stillness of sub-tropical humidity the spirits of those who don't lie easy in their grave make their presence known. The Magic City has its own sordid history of murder, suicides, violence and secret burials that can provide a cast of thousands that can cause a shiver down your spine even in 80 degree weather. These are some of those places.

Dying for Affection | M.P. Pellicer

Amy Murphy, 17, died mysteriously. Her body was found lying in the Golden Gate Park on February 2, 1900. It was in a partially secluded area, down on Hayes Street by the big eucalyptus tree that stood on the left just beyond the peacock walk. First there was a suspicion she died by her own hand, but others thought it was murder.

The gun which fired the bullet found in the girl's head mysteriously disappeared, which made the theory of "self destruction" questionable. Later it was found out she had pawned her watch in order to buy the firearm.

The Fate of the Legio IX Hispana | M.P. Pellicer

In June, 2023, it was announced that a silver military metal with a Medusa motif, was found in what was once the northern edge of the Roman Empire in Britain. Could it have belonged to an ill-fated member of the 9th Legion?


The snake-covered medal dates back approximately 1,800 years. It was unearthed on June 6, 2023, at the archaeological site Vindolanda. This was the site of a Roman auxiliary fort built about 100 A.D., about 20 years before the construction of Hadrian's Wall.
