The Unlikeliest of Places to Encounter the Paranormal. Top Story - December 2025.

He felt the weight of his ninety-five years in his bones, in the muscles that had softened like rotting apples. The reflection in the mirror was repulsive: sunken cheeks, sagging skin, cloudy eyes.

Ghost Hunting in Your Pocket: The Coolest Apps for Amateur Paranormal Adventures. Content Warning.
Do you ever watch those creepy ghost-hunting shows on TV? I have to admit, I can watch them, but only because they really creep me out. There’s something fascinating about haunted places, especially castles, with their mysterious aura and dark history. But let’s be honest: ghost hunters are often asking for trouble.

60 Days in a Haunted Lighthouse? One Man’s Insane, or Brave, Adventure
If you’ve seen any of my ghost videos, you know I have a very clear policy: haunted places are not my thing. I wouldn’t step foot in one unless it’s broad daylight, I’m in a group of at least 50 people, there are absolutely no kids, and maybe, just maybe, I’m carrying a battering ram and a chainsaw.

~By Caelum, Night Archivist of the Veil~ Most cops think the worst thing you can find at a crime scene is blood. They’re wrong... The worst thing is a question. A question with teeth. A question that refuses to let you sleep. Some cases don’t end when you file the report. They stay with you. They lean over your bed at night. They breathe behind you in empty rooms.

The Last Transmission from Flight 729
By Abdul Hadi The Last Transmission from Flight 729 No one expected Flight 729 to become a ghost story. It was a routine commercial flight—Miami to San Juan, full of families beginning vacations, couples taking anniversary trips, and a quiet pilot named Captain Elias Ward who had flown the route over a thousand times. Weather forecast: clear enough. Nothing unusual.
