The Phantom of Bel-Air | M.P. Pellicer


Ethel Allen disappeared, and eventually many believed justice failed her, but justice can be served in many ways.

The Volstead Act was repealed in 1933. The production of illegal alcohol, and the money tied into the vices found in speakeasies still flowed through the backwaters and scrub hammocks of Central Florida. A raid on the Blind Tiger, a pool room in Rockledge yielded 12 gallons of moonshine and case liquor. Authorities found more 160 proof hooch at the owner's house.

Ghosts of South Florida: Abandoned Hospital and Biltmore Hotel | M.P. Pellicer

In North Miami off 441 at the Cloverleaf Interchange, where the Palmetto Expressway joins I-95 for over two decades a crumbling, graffitied building decayed while traffic whizzed below it. It was once a hospital, and it developed a reputation for being haunted.


Parkway Regional Hospital opened its doors in 1974, with enough room for 300 patients. There was a psych ward on the 7th floor, with a separate entrance for patients brought in due to a Baker Act.


There was a morgue in the basement.


As time passed the area became crime ridden, and the hospital closed in 2002. The empty building became more derelict as the years passed. It was demolished in July, 2023 after more than 20 years where, it stood untenanted, by the living that is.

The Hexham Dog Man | M.P. Pellicer

In 1971, two boys made a discovery near a privet hedge in their yard, which opened the gateway to something sinister.

The Season of the Sea Serpent | M.P. Pellicer

In 1939, reports came in that a sea serpent had washed up on Point Grey Beach in Vancouver. However sightings of these creatures off the North Atlantic coast go back more a hundred years.

On January 14, 1939, Johnnie Davies was fishing on Williams Lake, British Columbia when he hooked something that not only pulled ferociously, but which he could see was a huge, dark shape beneath the ice. He tried to hold on but ended up letting go. According to him he thought it was the famed Ogopogo usually seen at Okanagan Lake. Fishermen in the area said he had probably hooked a land-locked sturgeon.

It seems that January was a busy month for unusual finds. In the cornfields of C.B. Campbell, who lived near Lynch, Nebraska a dust storm exposed the fossil of a monster that later was dubbed a "sea serpent".

Death Visits the Alkimos | M.P. Pellicer

The Alkimos was a merchant ship, one of many that wrecked off the coast of Western Australia in 1963. What sets it apart are the persistent stories that it's a cursed ship.

Built in a Baltimore shipyard, misfortune seemed to have visited early on when it was said a welder was unintentionally riveted up inside the hull, and found a day later, after he had suffocated. There is another version, where it was several workers who were sealed inside its walls. Supposedly this occurred due to the tight deadline and hurried construction of the ship, which was one of over 2,500 being produced for the war effort.

The Curse of No. 28 | M.P. Pellicer

 Presently stories abound about haunted houses, castles, cars, collector items etc, but for me, the real question lies in how did this come about. Take the story about the murder at the Keddie Cabins.

Is there really a way to truly release the agony, torment and terror of incidents that produced a haunting, whether intelligent or residual?

Sheila Sharp, 14, stepped from normal to a world of madness on the morning of April 12, 1981 when she returned to Cabin No. 28 at Keddie Resort where she lived with her mother and four siblings.

Good Time Joe and the Great White Way | Stories of the Supernatural



Judge Crater was remembered for several reasons. He was a philanderer of the first order; he had a scrawny neck (14 inches), a head that was too small for his 6 foot body, and taking a taxi ride into oblivion. His disappearance stumped police, psychics and armchair investigators long before Jimmy Hoffa evaporated from this earth in 1975.
