A House of Horrors

A Killer Job
September 26, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutesHello spooky friends, it’s my Birthday this week, and I love nothing more than getting to share scary stories with you. But not all jobs are as great as mine.

And no matter how easy you think your job may be, there can always be an evil en...
Medical Murders
September 19, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutesMost people hate going anywhere near a hospital, since it usually means someone sick or dying.

Back To School Fear
August 29, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutesWhile many are happily preparing for their first days back at school, for others it's causing pure dread.

First, a devilish love affair Followed by the drum beat of hell Then, a daring risk Finally in our...
A Haunted Haven
August 08, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutesMost people go through the motions of a normal life: Going to camp, school or work, then seeing friends and family at night or on weekends. But some of us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. Never feeling quite “normal” or like we belong. There are some of us that belong to the world of the paranormal. Seeing and feeling things that most people can’t. Sometimes that can be terrifying, but other times, finding a haunted haven, that place where the spirits and monsters reside, can be qui...
Natural Born Killer
August 01, 2023 07:00 - 31 minutesA full moon is upon us, and while many of us look up at the night sky and enjoy the glow of the lunar light, there are others who see it as something much more sinister.

Into the Watery Abyss
July 11, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutesWe all love to cool off on those hot summer days by jumping into a pool, lake or the ocean, but safely must come first. Not the obvious learning how to swim or wearing gear like wetsuits, but safety from the unknown. The slippery creatures that lurk under the surface. We should beware the call of the water.

The Evil One
May 23, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutesFor those of us who have siblings, it often means that we have someone to lean on, and a built-in best friend to go on adventures with us.
