  • Ed And Lorraine Warren's Cabinet of Curiosities

    Ed and Lorraine Warren. Anyone who loves to dive into stories of haunted houses and demonic possessions knows these two names. Of their many cases, they often brought home items that were said to be haunted or possessed and they put them in a room in their house, their own special way of guarding the rest of the world

    from the horrors that these items were capable of. This room would become the Warrens’ Occult Museum and each of the items on display there have their own story to tell.

  • Murdering The Mad Monk: The Many Deaths of Rasputin

    The last days of the Romanovs, of the Tsardom of Russia, are stained with blood and mystery – yet all of it seems to be overshadowed by a figure of true strangeness, whose sudden appearance on the world stage can only be deemed as completely absurd. Yet, his rise to power seems to pale in comparison to his death – or rather, his utter refusal to die.

  • The Black Cat And The Hex Murder of 1934

    It had been seven years – seven long, depressing, cursed years. Literally, cursed. It had been eight years since Susan Mummey, “the witch of Ringtown Valley,” had cursed Albert Shinsky. It drove him mad. No, it drove him more than mad: it drove him to murder.

  • The Man Who Could Eat Everything: The Curious Case of Tarrare

    He is… thin?! That’s what everyone immediately thought when they met the strange man that they had heard so much about. Despite the fact that he could eat and eat and eat, anything and everything, Tarrare was severely underweight. And what he ate – would turn your stomach.

  • A Stranger Walks Into A Lobby: The Puzzling Murder of Room 1046

    On January 2, 1935, at 1:20 p.m., a stranger in a long overcoat stepped into the lobby of the President Hotel in Kansas City. Two days later, he would be found stabbed in a locked room within the same hotel. It is the sort of murder mystery that would feature in a story with a detective like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, or Benoit Blanc. But it truly did happen.

  • The Skinwalker Murder of 1987

    If a stranger calls out to you at night, a voice so very human but

    distant, it is best you do not listen. Do not follow that voice into the night – you do not know what will wait for you there. Fear for Skinwalkers runs deep and the belief that they are real is still very much alive. Still, it shocked the nation when a woman was killed in Flaggstaff Arizona in 1987 and the defense of the main suspect claimed that it was not him – but a skinwalker who had killed her.

  • A Madness Sandwich: Pont-Saint-Esprit and the CIA Mind Control Experiments

    A little girl screamed as she was being chased by man-eating tigers. A husband and wife  chased each other with knives in their hands. A man smashed all his furniture in an attempt to fend off the terrible beasts that hunted him. A woman cried over how her little children had been ground into sausages.

    The village of Pont-Saint-Esprit had gone mad. But why? It was all because of… bread! But some people speculate something dark was at play here…

  • Every Hotel Has Got A Ghost: The Hauntings of The Stanley Hotel

    The weather was horrendous. A storm was brewing as Stephen and his wife Tabatha were driving through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. From a distance, they could see a building, massive, bright white and with a crimson roof that made it stand out against the dark clouds. The hotel that was dawning before them

    had been recommended by some of the locals, and as they checked in, they were informed that they would be the only guests staying in the hotel that night, as the hotel was about to close for the winter. They had dinner in the dining room
    of the hotel, which except for them was abandoned, with the chairs being placed on top of the tables and canned orchestra music echoing down the hall. Whilst the storm raged outside, they made their way through the wide halls to their room, 217.
