29 OCT 2024 · Today I’d like to tell you the tale of a woman minding her own business in the woods. She became the town scapegoat, and eventually, the hysteria and ignorance of her neighbors took her life.
Meade County, Kentucky is a small hamlet that packs a massive supernatural punch. In terms of dark tourism, this county boasts everything from sightings of Bigfoot, giants, a headless horseman, mysterious runes, and of course, a witch whose ghost still haunts the woods.

22 OCT 2024 · Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is known as the location of one of the largest, most expensive, and deadliest battles of the American Civil War. There were an estimated 50,000 casualties during the bloody days at Gettysburg, and the nightmare of that battle never ended for some of the poor souls killed there. Some believe that the souls of those who suffered there may still roam across the hallowed grounds of the battlefield and throughout the town.

18 OCT 2024 · Can a whole town be cursed? The small village of Dudleytown in Connecticut, part of the Cornwall township, has experienced a series of unfortunate events since its inception in 1747.

15 OCT 2024 · You might be mistaken if you think you know the whole story of the Son of Sam. David Berkowitz, also known as Son of Sam and the .44 Caliber Killer, terrorized the New York City area from July 1976 to July 1977. Berkowitz killed six people and wounded seven, most using a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver. Since his conviction, Berkowitz has made a lot of outlandish claims, but his claim that he didn’t act alone in his murder spree might just be true.

8 OCT 2024 · In the late 1970s, professor Dr. Charles Scudder and his companion Joey Odom left their lives in Chicago behind for simpler lives in the mountains of Georgia. There, they built their home by hand and furnished it with occult books and symbology. They frequently welcomed guests into their Pink Room for "parties." Eventually, the wrong person was let in, and tragic consequences followed.
