When the Earth is the Hungriest | M.P. Pellicer

Pachamama Raymi is celebrated on August 1, every year. This festival dates to pre-Hispanic times like the Mayan new year. She is an ancient female deity worshiped by the Mesoamericans and their descendants, even though originally the sun was the main god of the Incas.


Pachamama is made from the Quechua word "pacha" which means space, and mama for mother.

For the Aymara and the Quechua who have lived in northwestern Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru for hundreds of years the date signifies the beginning of the month when the Earth rests. This is the coldest season of the year in the southern hemisphere. This is when the earth is the hungriest.

Zona's Revenge | M.P. Pellicer

Since time immemorial there have been stories of the spirits of murder victims coming back to point a finger at their killer and seek justice for themselves.

Such is the sad story of Zona Heaster Shue who lived in rural West Virginia at the turn of the 20th century.

ZONA AND THE STRANGER

Born Elva Zona Heaster in 1873, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, Zona’s life is something of a mystery before she met her eventual husband Erasmus Stribbling “Trout” Shue in 1896. Shockingly only a year prior to their meeting, the records of Greenbrier County indicate that when she was twenty-two years old on November 29, 1895, she bore an illegitimate male child, who’s supposed father was an unskilled laborer named George Woldridge.




The Nameless Thing of Berkeley Square | M.P. Pellicer

50 Berkeley Square is a 4-story, brick townhouse in Mayfair. In the late 19th century it became known as one of the most haunted houses in London.

A murderous unnamed thing was said to be responsible for several deaths in the home, but there were other suspects mentioned throughout the years.

There are stories of a ghost that haunts the 4th floor attic (others say the 2nd) of 50 Berkeley Square. The structure has been referred to as "the most haunted house in London". Others argue it is not a ghost at all but an amphibious, predatory cryptid, reminiscent of Lovecraft's Cthulu's pantheon.




Ghosts of South Florida | M.P. Pellicer

Over the years I have had several ghost stories sent anonymously to me, and it's these quaint and subtle stories of hauntings that I find so fascinating, because you realize that ghosts make their presence known in the most mundane of settings, and sometimes it's only in hindsight that we realize exactly what we were experiencing. I have excluded surnames and exact addresses in order to protect the privacy of families. The following are those stories:


Uncle Charles

My family owns an old home in rural Davie. The tiny home was hand-built by my great-uncle (via marriage) - a person I have never met. His name was Charles C. and he and his wife, Betty, lived there.




Forty Years of Exorcisms at a Miami Hospital | M.P. Pellicer

In 1974, an article appeared titled, Exorcism Daily Occurrence at Miami Jackson Hospital. Your first thought is this was due to the notorious film, The Exorcist.

However, according to Dr. Sukhdeo, the director of the Crisis Intervention Center at Miami Jackson Hospital at that time, the influx of patients as many as 900 in one month, had nothing to do with the film. He described how patients came in asking for evil spirits to be driven from their body, apparently believing that their symptoms, whether mental or physical, were demonic in their origin.




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.

The God of Things as They Ought To Be | M.P. Pellicer

Florence Pretz a native of Kansas City held the design patent for a slant-eyed pudgy figure granted on October 6, 1908, known as the Billiken. Little did she imagine it would inspire a cult-like following.

The Billiken appeared in The Canada West, A Magazine of the Sunset Provinces in 1907. For 8 months the Billiken appeared in five Canada West stories, written by Sara Hamilton Birchall and illustrated by Florence Pretz. They were both friends who hailed from Kansas City, and moved to Chicago.

Who Murdered Mamie? | M.P. Pellicer

In June 1932, Mamie Thurman was killed. But who would want to murder the pretty wife of a patrolman?

On June 23, scandal was in the air. Harry Robertson, the Logan city commission president, and Clarence Stephenson his servant were being held in connection to a murder. And it wasn't just any murder, but that of Mamie Thurman, the wife of Alvin "Jack" Thurman, who was a political friend and appointee of Robertson's. The Thurmans lived above a private garage at the rear of Robertson's house on Stratton Street.

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.

Beautiful but Haunted Sites From Around the World | M.P. Pellicer

There are locations from around the world which are scenic, but for all their beauty and historical significance come with a turbulent past, and troubled souls that refuse to rest in peace.

SALTO DEL TEQUENDAMA
Approximately 18 miles southwest of Bogotá, Colombia on a precarious cliff Hotel Estación del Salto de Tequendama was built between 1923 and 1927, by architects Pablo de la Cruz, Joseph Martens and Carlos Arturo Tapias.

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.

The Betrayer | M.P. Pellicer

John Morgan was only 22 years old when he took a hatchet and killed three persons that had treated him like family.


1897, West Virginia

Chloe "Cloah" Koontz married Francis Marion Pfost and had eight children, five girls and three boys. The youngest Matilda "Tilley" was only 2 years old when her father died in 1873. Chloe Pfost remarried two years later. Her second husband was Edward H. Greene, who was 28 years older than her. He had lost his wife the year before and he had seven children by her. He would have another son with Chloe named James.

Something About the Moon | M.P. Pellicer

What is it about that moon that has so many countries seeking to land there after America first visited in 1969?


On March 4, 2022, a left over piece of a Chinese rocket that had been wandering in space for years hit the moon.

It impacted on the far side near the Hertzsprung crater.
