The Salem Witch Trials – Massachusetts. Content Warning.
In the quiet town of Salem, Massachusetts, during the late 17th century, a wave of paranoia and fear transformed a small Puritan community into the site of one of the most infamous events in American history — the Salem Witch Trials. Between February 1692 and May 1693, more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft, and 20 were executed. What began as a few strange incidents among young girls quickly turned into a national symbol of mass hysteria, superstition, and the dangers of false accusation.

Gillik’s Grove
I’d never been in this part of the forest before. When I was a child they called it the Gillik’s Grove and told us to keep out and out of a genuine fear we all did. We all knew someone though who had been in and seen it and their stories got wilder and more unbelievable. I suppose with these kind of tales more is more. But now as an adult I didn’t come this far because it wasn’t worth the effort. I had usually managed to find enough mushrooms to keep the local restaurants supplied for a week before I got to the giant leaning Scots Pine that marked the start of the Gillik’s reputed lair. But today I was short, very short and in the mushroom business more is more so I kept on.

Grandma's Attic
Darkness fell as we arrived at my Grandma’s house. It was unseasonably cold for an autumn evening, but neither my parents nor I thought anything of the bitter chill as we entered the warm, welcoming home. The kitchen was full of the scents of a dinner nearly ready to be served, mugs of hot tea and coffee ready to warm our hands and bellies as we settled in the small living room.

Creepy Encounters I Had While Cleaning Up After Crime Scenes
A True Horror Story from My Time as a Crime Scene Cleaner I’ve cleaned up blood that’s soaked through old pine floors. I’ve scraped bits of brain tissue off tile, and carried mattresses that sloshed when you moved them. Working in crime scene cleanup isn’t for those with weak stomachs but honestly, it’s not the gore that sticks with you. It’s everything that comes after. The quiet. The strange little moments you can’t explain. People ask me about creepy encounters I’ve had on the job, and over the years, there’ve been plenty. But three of them still keep me awake sometimes. They weren’t the most gruesome scenes, not the worst I’ve seen by a long shot but they were the ones that made me feel something watching from the dark corners. Something that never really left.

When The Little Witch Goes Trick & Treating
Before her lay a circle of power, and inside stood a powerful demon. Its muscles were bulging, its wings were spread majestically, and its horns curled aggressively. It glared at the witch just outside the circle, just outside its influence. “What would you have of me, woman, so that I may yet again be free?”
