Dreams
Dreams... Dreams can be wonderful. But every once and a while they can become a nightmare, frightening the warmth out of the soul. Have you ever been trapped in a nightmare? It may start off peaceful, but throughout the night, the darkness takes over the light. You feel chills throughout your body. You try to wake but the fear of running from whatever is coming overthrows your ability to open your eyes. I have had this very experience. almost every night, I feel as if I’m awake but my body weighs 1000 pounds. Unable to wake, unable to escape the very thing I fear most. It may sound silly but it’s real. My nightmares feel real. If they can happen when I’m awake and prevent me from doing the one thing I can to avoid them. What is stopping them from controlling me? Nothing. They trap me. They hold me down and torture me. I am afraid to sleep. It has been days since I last shut my eyes. I fear the thought of sleep. When I close my eyes, I can feel it overpowering my body. Constricting my chest. You may ask why this is happening, or when it all started. I wish I didn’t know the answers to that. Unfortunately, I know exactly why it’s happening. I let my curiosity get the best of me. And this time it’s slowly killing me.

Just Another Ghost Story
There is quite a large percentage of the world's population who don’t believe in the super natural. Ghosts, demons, spirits, these are fictional to that percentage. Things you only see in movies or hear in campfire stories. To the rest of the world, to the believers, ghosts and paranormal activity are a complete reality. I grew up with a mother who ensured that I spent my childhood believing in fairies and magic, so as a child, ghost stories seemed normal to me. As I began to grow older, I no longer only believed the stories I heard from my mom due to my crazy imagination and beliefs, but because I myself started to experience paranormal activity in front of my very own eyes.

The Following Night
I woke up in a log cabin in the mountains. I was unsure as to where I was or what I was doing but as I looked around, I realized that the room was empty minus the bed I was on and I was covered in blood, though the blood was not mine. My head was pounding like the day after a long night of vodka and tequila, but I don't remember drinking the night before.

Spontaneous Human Combustion
Trust me when I tell you my tale is real. I was there. I saw it happen. I know most will find it hard to swallow. For all those who find it hard to believe, please keep in mind that I’m only telling my tale to help others. In fact, it pains me to even think about what happened, much less talk about it. I hope that in hearing my tale that it can keep others from meeting this unfortunate fate.

Cargo Trip
The engine of Mateo’s Cessna 208 hummed like a metallic wasp as the blur of the propeller quivered outside the windshield. Far below, 20,000 feet to be exact, the Colombian shore gave way to the gentle lapping of the Atlantic. The turquoise water was calm today and the sky was clear, spotted by the occasional cloud. This was good for Mateo, good for his flight and good for business. His last trip had been plagued by a massive storm coming off the ocean and had rattled his brains along with his cargo. What exactly he had been carrying, Mateo didn’t care. He never asked questions. That’s how someone in his line of work stayed in business and stayed alive. It had been the same procedure with the current shipment, no questions, one drop off, and fifteen percent of the cut was his.

'Hereditary:' A True Nightmare
I was skeptical walking into this movie. The trailer was creepy, but didn't really offer anything truly terrifying. It wasn't until the plot slowly started to develop that I realized I might not be going to bed tonight. This movie takes so many twists and turns right from the beginning that it almost feels like it's a little difficult to keep up. It's not until the first death that you slowly begin to understand just how messed up this movie will be.

Do You Believe Your Interpretation Of Hell Is Accurate? Think Again
Let's try to simplify the definition. The hell that we think about today is a mixture of confusion, bad translations, and Greek Mythology. Let's start by breaking down the mistranslation. There are four different words that were used to describe an underworld prison in the Bible. They all were translated to hell. The words are Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna. For reference on these, I'd recommend a bible dictionary. Sheol and Hades mean the same thing. Both words translate to "A place where the dead go to sleep." Sheol is Hebrew and Hades is Greek. It is the hell or spiritual prison used to hold humans. Tartarus, the name I mentioned in my chapter about fallen angels, is known as The Pit. Humans do not go here, ever. Not even Lucifer is here until later (see Revelation 20:1-3). Remember the 200 Watchers? Well, their locations are like a prison. We just aren't sure what kind. It's speculated that their fate was Tartarus. Enoch 10:4-5 reads:

Survive the Night
Hello All, it's been awhile but here I am once more. Like I may have mentioned before I love horror movies, and since the only thing, that really scares me is.....ZOMBIES. I can handle Michael Myers and Freddy, but humans tearing into my flesh and eating me alive is very scary.
