Spring Break From Hell
April 11, 2023 07:00 - 34 minutesMany of us look forward to spring break as our first vacation of the new year, when we can be free from school and work. But when we're visiting new places, or have our guard down to relax, THAT is the moment chaos strikes. So stay vigilant and be on the lookout for ghosts in strange places, or entities that will take advantage of your vacay-mode. Otherwise your dream spring break could turn into a nightmare. First, the monster lurks behind you Followed by an unwanted guest Then, beware of...
Abduction
April 04, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutesSo many of us love to curl up in the safety of our own home while we read a scary book or watch a horror movie. But we only enjoy that because those terrible things aren't happening to us. But with all of the new sightings of UFOs it makes you wonder, how much longer are we really safe? And if out of this world aliens don't harm us, people around us with ill intentions will.

Deadly Desire
March 28, 2023 07:00 - 33 minutesSo often in life we aren't content with just having a roof over our heads and food on the table. We always seem to strive for more: better jobs, lots of money and true love. While sometimes the ambition for these things motivate us to work harder, sometimes these desires turn deadly. When we become obsessed with having more and taking more, we'll stop at nothing to get exactly what we want, no matter who gets hurt in the process. First, killer love Followed by revenge of the grieving Th...
Tortured Teens
March 22, 2023 16:36 - 34 minutesThey say youth is wasted on the young. As a teen, you have all the energy and potential to be, do, and have whatever you can dream. But when dealing with school, college applications, social media followers and dating, being a teenager can be a nightmare. Particularly when you add in supernatural threats and anyone who might want to do you harm. Adulting will be easy, if you can make it through high school alive, that is. First, a deadly rivalry Followed twisted games Then, serendipity or...
Luck O’ the Dead
March 14, 2023 07:00 - 34 minutesIt's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us count our blessings, and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed. Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence? Or was something done to anger the spirits? Either way when death comes knock...
Warrior Women
March 07, 2023 08:00 - 34 minutesThroughout history there have been tales and legends of powerful women. We've been praised for creating life, accused of inciting wars and everything in between.

The Silent Ones
February 28, 2023 08:00 - 33 minutesWhether you communicate via text, email or phone, there are endless possibilities to communicate with one another, but sometimes it’s the things that aren't said out loud, that are the most important. Sometimes it’s the subtext, or what we hear in the silence that can warn us when something bad is lurking, or when our life is in danger. And if you ignore those signs, then you might end up dead. First, suffer in silence Followed by don’t ignore the call Then, a deadly sacrifice Finally in...

Dealing with the Dead
January 31, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutesWe all respect healthcare workers and those who work to heal the afflicted. But a job that intense must be difficult to leave it at work and not take things personally. Alll humans can be affected by burnout and lack of sleep.

Trespass and Die
January 24, 2023 08:00 - 35 minutesWe all know the places that you cannot go, or that are off limits. Sometimes we’re deterred by parents or trusted adults. Sometimes we hear urban legends and horror stories that warn us of certain locations that are dangerous and harmful. But sometimes… It's the danger that draws us in. The opportunity to be the explorer, the adventurous one who will go where no one else dares. And sometimes, trespassing in those places, will for sure get you killed. First, a longing that kills you Followe...
What Lurks in the Void?
January 17, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutesAfter the holidays, some of us are happy to have a break from family. We may even enjoy some time all alone in the middle of nowhere.

January 10, 2023 08:00 - 36 minutesThe holidays are officially over and we're all getting back to our old routines. But still with us from the holidays are all of the gifts and toys we may have received. Some of our presents turn into our most prized possessions. Others get buried under clutter in our closets. But many objects can take on a life of their own. And if that trinket or toy doesn't like the way it's being treated, it will find a way to take revenge and get back at you. The toys will takeover and it won’t be pretty....
The Demon in All of Us
January 03, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutesSo many of us go into the new year with a positive attitude, hope, and lots of resolutions. We make the choice to be better human beings who are kinder to one another. But we all have our inner demons. Good intentions for a fresh start can quickly turn into laziness, resentment, and even seeking revenge for those who have wronged you. And when those inner demons are uncaged, there’s no telling the damage you cause. First, a mothers biggest fear Followed by dark secrets buried Then, who’s th...

Am I Being Watched?
December 06, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutesWe have all had that sickening feeling in the pit of our stomachs. A feeling that tells us: you are not alone. Sometimes we come to know we're surrounded by the spirits of our loved ones. They're cheering us on from beyond the grave. But when it's not the angels, it's the demon's from beyond. Those entities that appear where they're least wanted. They lurk, they stalk, they creep. And they will be the end of us. First, IT waits till you are sleeping Followed by a demon inside Then, the soul ...

Enter and Die
November 08, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutesWe've all experienced being somewhere and getting that pit in our stomach that tells us "I shouldn't be here". And we should trust our gut. Some places are filled with negative energy, dark vibes, or even worse, pure evil.

The Price of Beauty
June 14, 2022 15:48 - 31 minutesWe’re constantly surrounded by false standards of beauty on social media that can trick us into believing that external beauty is more important than what’s on the inside.

The Cursed Family
May 31, 2022 07:00 - 33 minutesWords alone might not seem to mean much, but when you say certain words, strung together in a specific order, you might be expressing the most harmful statement in existence: a curse.

Blood Moon
May 17, 2022 13:35 - 29 minutesThings always seem to go awry when Mercury is in retrograde, and today happens to be the start of that shift in the planets.
