Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.
A Twisted Midnight
Her hair flowed with the wind as she ran from the darkness which engulfed the forest yonder. The early morning beams of light lit up the night sky, meaning daylight would come sooner than she planned. Her indigo cardigan wouldn’t protect her from the brisk, cold morning that daylight brings with it. As she runs the last few inches to escape the shadows hidden under the forest pine, she hears a final roar of anguish as she runs further, without hesitation, back to her quaint little cottage. But as she looks back to the now quiet forest of shadows, she knows deep down this time will not be the last.

Rumors and legends have swirled around her for centuries, painting her as a hag with a heart of stone, capable of the darkest and most evil deeds.

The Witch's Revenge: A Tale of Black Magic and Betrayal
In the world of fairy tales, there are many villains, but perhaps none as cruel as the witch. She is often depicted as a haggard old woman with a green complexion, sporting a wart on her nose, and a pointed hat. She uses her powers for evil, often casting wicked spells on innocent people, or turning them into frogs, mice, or other animals.

The Dark and Endless Forest: A Survival Story
What could be more spine chilling than being lost in the middle of a dark and endless forest? The answer is simple: nothing. Imagine being in the middle of a forest and suddenly realizing you have no idea where you are or how to get out. Not only is the thought of being lost terrifying, but the darkness and silence can also be incredibly unnerving. For hikers or campers, getting lost in a forest can be a truly frightening experience.

The Haunting of Hill House: The Gates of Hell
The wind was howling and the rain was pouring as I made my way up to the old and decrepit Hill House. I had been told by many that it was haunted, but I didn't believe them. I was just a foolish young man who wanted to get a scare. I rang the doorbell and waited. There was no answer. I rang it again, this time louder. Still, there was no answer. I was starting to get a bit scared now. I was about to leave when I heard a voice from behind me.

My Last House Blessing
I’ve been blessing houses for three years. Three years of distressed parents, shaken kids, and superstitious elderly. From bumps in the night to shapes in the woods, I’ve answered calls far and wide to clear the terrified of their fear of the supernatural. I started small, in my hometown, and slowly worked my way to taking jobs out of state. I did it for free at first, but after the donations started rolling in and my name got around, I was able to earn a decent living from saving the innocent from otherworldly threats. My growth in popularity led to my persona, the young and prestigious Father Cain. I maintained a dedicated online presence, building groups and pages on social media to stay engaged with the community. Answering every question, responding to every text.

Little Human
I remember the first time my sister brought her home. She was cute, agile, light on her feet, and the new delight of the household. I remembered how I wanted her to warm up to me as quickly as possible, but that wasn’t likely to happen on my schedule, but on hers. I would always want her attention, and how I would desire her to come to me and follow me. Yet, as I stated before, she did that on her own time and not on mine. I would have to learn to enjoy her company, and that when she would want to have our personal space overlap, that she would approach me.

Warning Wind
As I recall, it was a week before my birthday. September had begun ushering in the light autumn winds which shook the yellowing leaves on their scraggly branches. The usually green needles of the yellow pines began to dim to the color of their namesakes. And the tall grass was flattening all around the slopes of the mountain as the last long days of the year began to shorten.
