Intruder
It was a normal Friday night, the parents were up, and the kids were tucked into bed, all asleep. Well, except for me. I was tossing, and turning trying to get the terrible feeling in my gut to go away. I finally convinced myself it was nothing, and went to sleep. Later in the night, I woke up to shouting coming from downstairs. I slowly climbed out of bed, not making a single sound.

The Blinking Lady
More than once upon a time, I had a dream that followed me. I dreamt of a woman with long black hair hanging from her head in a lump of tangles, covering most of her torso. Her eyes were wide, pupils so dilated they consumed her face. She wore nothing but a torn up white dress—I imagined it was her nightgown—and she would stand impossibly still, doing nothing but blinking at me. Never fidgeting.

Oscars Countdown: 'Get Out'
Oscar season hosts a number of movies that feel like Best Picture contenders, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you enjoy them. I didn’t love The Shape of Water but, as a religious award season fan, I recognize it as a film that’ll carry some hardware home. Get Out is the fundamental opposite of that. It is the antithesis of Oscar Bait. I’ll keep the whining to a minimum, but I wanted to lead off by saying my thoughts on Get Out are in no way a reflection of its Oscar season chances. Keep this one in your collection, but out of your office pool. And watch me try to reverse-jinx this movie to victory.

Mid Afternoon Pit Stop
I was driving home one afternoon from college. It was an hour and a half drive, and I had a sandwich and a water to hold me over. Unfortunately, I needed to release a little water. I could make it, but I wasn't comfortable. I was debating on pulling of when I saw a house which reminded me there was a rest stop coming up. I wasn't on any sort of a time crunch so I resolved to treat myself.

The Feed Plant
I’ve stopped concealing what I’ve encountered. Chicago, as I knew it as a youth, had plummeted far below its level of prosperity over the years, and it seemed that would only get worse. Ever since the economy made a dive that devastated nearly all of the world, the American population either tried to mend its damage or like the majority, ignored it while being completely hypnotized by everything that controlled the minds of the millions; fear, materialism, television, pharmaceutical drugs, religion, the idea of the ‘American Dream,’ political lies, and unceasing social conflict with other lesser nations.

Dark Night Part 4
I would love to say this kind of thing was just a casual headache, a minor nuisance in my paranormal adventures, but no this was pretty scary. Every fiber of my being told me get the hell out of there. This is why Scott didn’t want to come in the house, this ghost right here. I noticed the ring of light from my flashlight subtly vibrating, and soon realized it was because I was trembling. “Hi.” My voice cracked and I cleared my throat. “Ahem…hi.” I finally managed. “You…you must be Beverly.”

Safe (Part 1)
Blood. Rivers of life flowed from the deep slashes on her stomach, arm, and leg merge with the snow turning it crimson as the ice froze it in place. A breeze laden with ice and petrol attacked her senses and face. Her eyes flickered as light bounced over her body, face and around the ground. Voices spoke, the sounds were distant, muffled. Another light passed over her face then a pair of abrasive hands tenderly opened her torn blouse and removed it as another pair of cold, callous hands applied bandages.

Movie Review: 'Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built'
Winchester is yet another silly ghost movie. Despite a cast headed by Helen Mirren, Winchester—subtitled as The House that Ghosts Built—skulks about re-enacting ghost tropes with bad lighting and cinematography, all building toward the same jump scares we’ve seen in every other ghost movie. How predictable are the jump scares in Winchester? All you have to do is remember the rule of three and you will not be surprised.

Ghosts
When you look at this subject, there are really many different views. Are they real? Well that again is up to someone to make their own belief. For me I can only give my opinion on this subject. For me yes I believe they are. However, this is coming from experiences and the fact I am a ghost investigator.

The End of the World or the Beginning of a New One?
Chico Xavier was a Brazilian medium who was said to have the ability to talk to diseased people. According to him, once we lose our physical body, consciousness remains unaltered and indestructible. You may choose to believe or deny it. Perhaps it is one of those events you must live in order to accept or dismiss. However, many life circumstances serve as "evidence" to make this person, at minimum, credible.

Dark Night Part 3
Satisfied with what I had found, I got Scott out of there and to the nearest dog park, tidy bags in tow. How many paranormal mysteries do you know of with proper dog care?
