"Though Solitary they would like to stay

They may help those who lose their way

But don't misjudge these dark-haired fae

Or you'll be the one that they betray!

Hiding their green skin and hazel eyes

Moss and leaves are their disguise

Entering their forest would be unwise

Offend them and get a big surprise"

     - Morrigan Aoife

Stay safe out there. 

With love,

Marvin Alvin Clark was born in (maybe) 1852. After a mysterious day of travel, he went missing on October 30th, 1926. Since then, it was believed that his body was found by loggers in 1986, but when it was determined that the remains were not his, two mysteries remain: who was found in 1986, and what happened to Marvin Alvin Clark?

Marvin Clark has been missing for just about 95 years now, so he would be over 160 years old today. Which means that we aren’t expecting to find him alive, but it would be nice to have some closure for the family. If you have any information about his disappearance though, the contact I found is for the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office at 503.988.4300

Stay safe out there.

New England is famous for horror stories and ghosts and hauntings - the most famous being the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s. Just about 200 years since that Satanic panic that caused the witch trials, there was another type of paranormal panic, a supernatural delusion if you will, fueled by an outbreak of tuberculosis, known at the time as consumption. When one member of a family would contract TB, it was likely that others would as well in due time. So people started thinking that the deceased were returning to earth and draining the life from their loved ones. And this caused what they called the “Vampiric Panic.” And thus began years of vampires and burning hearts…

Stay safe out there.

The Byford Dolphin was a semi-submersible column-stabilized drilling rig that was operated by Dolphin Drilling. When it was built in 1974, it was one of the more advanced drilling rigs at the time… but what happened on Saturday, November 5th, 1983 at 4am made it clear that it had not stayed the most advanced drilling rigs. In what is generally known as the most gruesome deaths in history, the Byford Dolphin Accident really shows how dangerous being a worker on an oil rig is and why it’s one of the highest paying jobs.

Stay safe out there.

June and Jennifer Gibbons were born on April 11th 1963, and were identical twins who lived in Wales and were known as the Silent Twins because they only ever communicated with each other. They started speaking in a more quirky version of the language and it was soon that literally nobody else could understand. One of the articles I read said “their language, or idioglossia, qualified as an example of cryptophasia, exemplified by the twins' simultaneous actions, which often mirrored each other. The twins became increasingly reserved and eventually spoke to no one except each other and their younger sister Rose.” But what really happened to the twins? Were they really as close as everyone thought they were?

This story is known as a few different things depending on what article you read, but what I’m calling it is the legend of Annie’s Doll. And the reason I was so excited to share was because it is based right here in Edinburgh, and those are my favorite stories to tell. So join us this week as we take a look at Mary King’s Close and one of the most famous hauntings in the area…

Stay safe out there.

"Has anyone ever played the Infinity Game? The one with the mirrors? Most people don’t know it’s a game, they just think it’s a cool visual effect. Maybe it’s different for me, being raised by witches. Not Halloween witches, but the ones who practice Wicca. You can Google it if you really want to learn about them, but I’m here to talk about the game." - Page Turner

The House of Binns, or the house of two hills, is located in West Lothian, Scotland. And while not the spookiest of spooky stories we have told on this channel, it may have connections to the devil… So join us me this week for a cursed card game, a lost marble, ghostly footsteps, and even some recently discovered skeletons.

Stay safe out there.
