Are you any less frightened when the phantoms that appear before you are known, or even family? Maybe only a little, because in truth you are always aware that you are alive and they are dead.
E.F. Benson's short horror story “The Face” tells the tale of Hester Ward, a young and beautiful married woman who has a recurring nightmare about a hideous and terrifying face. This same face had appeared to her ten years earlier, prophesying its return when she is older. Hester confides in her husband about her strange nightmares, but he is skeptical and dismissive. As the story unfolds, Hester’s nightmares intensify, and she becomes increasingly convinced that the face is a harbinger of doom. The tale builds tension and suspense, exploring themes of foreboding, depression, and the supernatural.
The area of West 44th Street in New York City was just a patch of farmland and forest in 1792. The American Revolutionary War had ended less than 10 years before, and maybe events that took place then caused the ghost that eventually became known as Lucy Ryan to haunt this area.
After the Revolutionary War, New York City grew and by the 1800s a road was laid down in what would eventually become 44th Street. In 1862, a brick townhouse and cottage occupied the lot, and within 10 years it was up for sale.
In the far reaches of the largest fjord in Norway, perched on the side of a mountain is a 16,000 square foot castle overlooking the town of Luster. For all its fairytale appearance, when it operated as the Lyster Sanatorium, this was the place where many came to die.
The sanitarium was constructed in 1902, to be used as a hospital for terminally ill tuberculosis (TB) patients. The location was chosen due to the risk of contamination posed by the tuberculosis bacterium. The sanatorium was build to hold about 120 patients, and there was an average 2 patients for every employee, who also lived on the premises. The patients were isolated from the outside world, and moved to the mountain because it was believed the fresh, crisp air would lessen their symptoms.

Narration always by a human, no A.I.
Over a hundred years ago, a frail nun who lived in a remote Michigan village was murdered and buried in a shallow grave, in the very basement of the holy grounds where she lived and worshipped. What was uncovered during the subsequent trials spoke of lies, sexual trysts by those holding holy office and the attempt to spare the Catholic Church embarrassment, even if it meant covering up a murder.
Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Isadore, Michigan was dedicated August of 1883. Next to it stood Holy Rosary School, a three-story brick building that along with the church served generations of the Polish immigrant families of Leelanau County.
In 2018, a couple is arrested transporting plastic-wrapped body parts in a baby carriage. Further investigation, found they were responsible for at least 20 other murders of mostly single mothers.
According to Mexico's state prosecutor, Alejandro Gomez, during interrogation the man admitted to raping and sexually torturing the victims before killing them. He also said that he sold some of the body parts. The man said that he had also ground the bones to be used as fertilizer and the flesh chopped up to be used as pet food. He also implicated his wife as committing the murders as well, even though it's believed she was used to lure the victims with the promise of baby clothes into situations, where they could be kidnapped and killed.
True stories and urban myths of the weird, the paranormal, ghosts, cryptids and the things that make your weird little heart happy. Such as unexpected encounter deep in the forest, when you know it's something not animal or human that is watching you.
It's not unusual to pair rock music with the devil, especially heavy metal music. The first that come to mind are Black Sabbath, Kiss and performers like Alice Cooper who lean heavily on the imagery of the occult. Marlene and Henry explore the notorious 27 Club which is a list of actors, musicians, artist and athletes who have died at the age of 27. The majority have departed this life as a result of substance abuse, homicide and strange accidents. Many claim there is significance tied to the number of their age to Illuminati and occult groups. This is a far cry from Elvis' hip gyration that were thought be the "work of the devil". So what is truth, and what is urban legend?
On October 29, 2018 renovations were being carried out in the Vatican close to the Villa Borghese. Builders were restoring a floor in the janitor's lodge. Considering the age of the buildings and the grounds, this type of work is commonplace, but not what was found which was a human skeleton.
Once the story of the discovery was leaked to the Italian press, it was inevitable the name of Emanuela Orlandi would come up.
On a cold February evening in 1945 the body of 74-year-old Charles Walton was found in a field of the Firs farm, in which he had been working earlier that same day. He was considered a recluse, and no one who lived in the Warwickshire hamlet could understand who would want to kill him, much less mutilate him.
Charles Walton was known to be a quiet man and a loner, who shared a thatch-roofed cottage opposite the village church with his niece in the hamlet of Lower Quinton. Despite suffering from rheumatism and using two walking sticks, he worked on and off doing odd jobs and lived off his small pension. His reputation as an honest, hardworking farm laborer left the authorities puzzled as to who would want to kill him, especially in such a brutal manner.
Since 1896 Los Angeles County has been interring the indigent and unclaimed dead. Workers would log each name in large handwritten books. Most of them remained unnamed for years afterward, and some forever.
LOS ANGELES Ownership of the indigent cemetery or what was known as Potter's Field passed from the City to the County of Los Angeles in 1917, and in 1924, with burial space there exhausted, the County began to cremate its indigent deceased.
The Chateau des Noyers du Tourneur located in Normandy, France was known to be haunted by a white lady that walked the grounds, and a werewolf that stalked the peasants in the vicinity, however between October 1867 and January 1877 the terror that made itself known had no parallel.
The chateau was built in 1835 on the site of the medieval Castle Noyers that dated back to the 14th century, and was less than a mile south of the chateau. The older structure was razed by a fire, and the de Baudre family decided to build a new home using the stones from the original one.
True stories and urban myths of the weird, the paranormal, ghosts, cryptids and the things that make your weird little heart happy. Like a working in the E.R. of a very haunted hospital on the night shift.Host - M.P. Pellicer

Some paintings by the effect they have on the subjects portrayed, or those who view them are known as disturbed. They carry the essence of the artist that in some instances turns out to be unlucky, or plain deadly. Are the stories about these cursed paintings real or just urban tales?
Caracas has become the murder capital of the world. In the heart of this city where poverty and violence are experienced by those living there on a daily basis is a shrine. The altar is not populated by recognized religious statues, but by colorful cap-wearing images with brightly-colored trousers and cigarettes hanging from their mouths. It is to these dead gangsters that the desperate come to pray for protection.
The most widespread religion in Venezuela is Christianity, but the poor and vulnerable come to pray in a shrine in the heart of Caracas. It is located in Cementerio General del Sur, which dates back to 1876. It is surrounded by slums perched on hillsides overlooking the roughest part of the city.
Not only was the identity of Jack the Ripper a mystery, but also if indeed he was the author of several letters received by the police after the murders. A forensic linguist from the University of Manchester has found part of the answer.
A forensic linguist from The University of Manchester who analyzed letters supposedly signed by Jack the Ripper, has concluded that two of the most famous examples were written by the same person.
Sometimes known as "bioterrorism," these weapons involve infectious agents and toxins. These can include fungi, viruses and bacteria, and depending on their characteristics can kill human, animal and/or plant life.
The qualities that makes germ warfare lethal and effective are the ones that make them unpredictable. We are talking about non-human, living organisms that are resilient and can be used as weapons, but are dangerously difficult to control. These organisms do not respect treaties or borders between countries, or for that matter continents. Even ancient civilizations understood how effective biological warfare was to bring an enemy to their knees.
The belief in evil spirits and demons have been part of human history from time immemorial, however in recent time this phenomenon has spiked worldwide, and according to certain sources there is a reason for this increase.
Demonic possession is thought by many to be a holdover from when superstition held sway over the public. However there are those, not only clergy or religious figures, but medically trained persons who believe there is some validity to these claims.
