Technology is our constant companion, for some it is a salve for superstitions and fears of the dark. But this Big Brother with infinite knowledge has you fooled. Ghosts in the machine are real. And while you can choose to not enter a haunted house, the entities in these stories have already been invited into your home within the very devices meant to entertain you. First, some virtual reality frights are more real than we would like them to be. Next, Polybius, a video game of urban legend, is given new life, much to the woe of its players. After that, nighttime video binging will lead us to eerie prophecies. And finally, pushing shuffle play will have dire consequences.

After studying tirelessly or and waiting out the dark cold days of winter, everyone eagerly anticipates Spring break. But it's not always the magical vacation getaway we had wished for. Venturing into unknown places for vacation and disrupting routines often opens your eyes to other realities, revealing a startling truth: paranormal activity and evil doers lurk closer than you ever imagined. These encounters may lead to torment, and a desperate desire to go back to normalcy, but once the awareness sets in, you can never go back. 

First, no kids ever allowed
Followed by, being followed
Then, in our final story, a deadly ritual

Lost in Tunnels of Terror and Time

Last night's new moon means the full moon will be here soon! And it may leave you feeling a bit different, braver, maybe even more erratic. Historically, such nights see heightened crime, increased hospital visits and more overall madness. It’s attributed to the primal pull of nature. Those unable to control this urge will incite trouble, earning the label "lunatics" from lunar, as in, the moon made me do it. So beware: don’t give in to your inner animal on the night of a full moon, feeling unhinged could lead to danger all around you.

First, how to protect from evil
Followed by the man that never leaves
Finally in our last story, the the monster of Dole

Lunar Lunacy

We all need money to survive so we can pay our bills and put food on the table. But money and greed possess an insidious power, capable of turning even the most kind-hearted souls into monsters. If we give in to the allure of wealth, empathy disappears, replaced by a relentless pursuit of profit at any cost. The insatiable hunger for more blinds us to the consequences of actions. Ultimately, this pursuit can destroy the human spirit, turning once decent people into unrecognizable creatures.

First, a tale from Japan
Followed by curse of the eldest
Then, a deadly sibling rivalry
Finally in our featured story, The urban legend of Tula Bechulude, who some call Zimbabwe’s Annabell tale
