Buried But Not Gone
They say the dead can’t speak. But what if they were only waiting for the right moment? Act One: The Uneasy Beginning A small town cemetery holds hundreds of graves, each marked with stone, dates, and the illusion of peace. But beneath one cracked headstone lies something restless. Locals whisper about it—how the ground near the grave feels warmer than anywhere else. How the flowers placed there never wilt, but instead rot overnight.

The Smurl Haunting: A Family's Terror and the Warrens' Battle Against Darkness
The Shadows of West Pittston: The Smurl Family's Unseen Torment and the Warrens' Unyielding Pursuit In the quiet, unassuming town of West Pittston, Pennsylvania, where the Susquehanna River winds lazily through neighborhoods lined with modest homes, the Smurl family thought they had found their slice of the American dream. Jack and Janet Smurl, along with their four children, moved into a duplex on Chase Street in 1974, sharing the space with Jack's parents. It was a place for family gatherings, backyard barbecues, and the simple joys of everyday life. But by 1986, that dream had twisted into a nightmare that would draw the attention of the world's most renowned paranormal investigators: Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Shadow Beings
Encounters with Shadow Beings: A Paranormal Investigation Many of us in the paranormal field have heard of—or even seen—shadow beings. These entities, often referred to as "shadow people," are typically described as being darker than darkness itself. Some witnesses only catch glimpses of them out of the corner of their eye. Others report seeing them clearly, and even feeling their presence. But what are these beings? Where do they come from? What do they want? Are they good or evil? Or perhaps they aren’t even aware of us at all. Maybe we are as much a mystery to them as they are to us.

My GPS Led Me Somewhere That Doesn’t Exist
Story My GPS Led Me Somewhere That Doesn’t Exist It started as a simple late-night drive. I’d been on the road for five hours, heading back from a work trip, when fatigue began to set in. The interstate was a black ribbon unspooling in front of me, and my eyes kept flicking to the glowing GPS screen for reassurance.
