supernatural
The hidden world of all things supernatural; a look inside witchcraft, spells, vexes, black magic and other spine-tingling supernatural phenomena.
Close encounter at the midnight hour.
Close Encounters of the Midnight Hour It’s a quarter to 4, just a few hours before dawn. The room is dark; silence engulfs it. I lie in bed and fall asleep. In just a few hours, I will wake up and go through my morning routine. I’m not a morning person—just a bit tired from those sleepless nights.

The Oakville Blobs: When the Sky Dropped Something It Shouldn’t Have!
Some mysteries whisper... Others fall from the sky. And in 1994, that's just what happened. In the summer of 1994, residents of the quiet logging town of Oakville, Washington, reported something that sounded like a prank, a hoax, or perhaps a misremembered weather event. But it wasn’t. Because on multiple occasions that year, a strange gelatinous substance rained down from the sky, clear, sticky, and unnervingly organic.

Fear on the High Seas: Comparing The Flying Dutchman and the Mary Celeste Tragedy
Commentary Hauntings on the High Seas Anything that haunts will usually frighten: and it doesn’t matter if it's a legend or an actual event in history. Still, which account will keep you up at night or make you wary of doing certain things such as going out on the open sea? No doubt, a real-life mystery such as the Mary Celeste can bring out the fear. But, in a twist of irony, it’s a legend that has had a lasting impact and may have affected the sailors' wellbeing.

The Telling Bone
Introduction This was kicked off by Catweazle's name for the telephone. Catweazle was a medieval sorcerer who ended up in modern times (the nineteen seventies). The full episode is all over Youtube and most of my readers might not even recognise what he is holding as a landline telephone handset.

Pripyat, Ukraine: The Abandoned Ghost City of Chernobyl
The Rise and Sudden Silence of Pripyat Pripyat, Ukraine, was established on February 4, 1970, as a model city in the Soviet Union, intended to be the home of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant staff. It emerged to become a flourishing city inhabited by close to 50,000 people, comprising engineers, scientists, families, and kids, with shops fully stocked, kindergartens, schools, hospitals, a cultural palace with cinemas and gyms, sports halls, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, among other amenities. Life was normal, with kids playing, people working, and the city alive with normal ambitions and aspirations powered by the promise of nuclear energy.

Day 19: Loose Allegiances. Content Warning.
Day 19: Loose Allegiances This isn’t hard to deduce if you’re here. During said gap, I was told that Wolfman Patrick wanted everyone to catch up to the most notable now of our research. The two shifts typically saved for this exercise were spent getting shouted at by Coldman Jason in his office for insinuating that the Brochure has nothing new to contribute, starting the tenacious argument that will go on for days. He asked me to be open-minded; I scoffed at the disrespect and refused to apologize for throwing the book. Details were to be strictly ordered in chronological order, as remembered; my 'tampering' will not be tolerated, apparently. However, once the storm started, it became clear who paid attention to Harvest-woman April’s briefing. Fucking taking fault for anything that went wrong would be a gross additional neglect of attention to facts that are so ghastly important. Anyway, Day 10: The ‘Reign’ Begins.

The Invitation
It was just a card , standard postcard size , but very high quality. The card was an invite , there was an address in a high class expensive part of the city, and an offer of substantial financial remuneration for an hour of his time. A two way conversation would be expected and would be held in the library.

No, The Mothman Isn’t an Alien
Commentary A Lot of Things to a Lot of People The legendary Mothman has been a lot of things to a lot of people. And, in many respects, his mostly complex and evolving legend as a mythological creature made him one of the most unique and fascinating beings of his kind. That is until somebody – possibly a blogger on a cryptid or paranormal site – began to speculate that the Mothman is actually an alien.
