They 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 karma?

Finally in our featured story, a babysitter killer

 It'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 knocking, you better hope your luck hasn't run out. 

First, an unfortunate chain of events

Followed by a fatal mistake

Then, everything is dying

Finally in our featured story, death is calling

Throughout 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. We are brave, strong and compassionate and when pushed to the edge, we're capable of anything and cannot be stopped. Even if we need to summon the spirits to take care of business. So be sure not to cross a warrior woman, or you may not survive. 

First, a fight to the death 

Followed by a mother’s deadly instinct 

Then, the endless nightmare 

Finally in our featured story, revenge in plain sight.

Whether 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 our featured story, the silence will kill you

No one’s family is really normal. We all have our own unique circumstances, baggage and secrets. But at the end of the day family, be it chosen or biological, is bound together. Sometimes that’s a good thing to have your family's protection. But sometimes, it’s your family that can lead you down a dangerous path that you may not survive. Either way, family is always there. 

First, red eyes scream danger

Followed by dying to escape

Then, where the dead reside 

Finally in our featured story, monsters in New Orleans

We 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. And for those in high stakes jobs, one little slip up can be deadly. It's not only patients that suffer, they may inadvertently end up destroying themselves as well.  

First, you can’t stop what isn’t there

Followed by don’t get bit

Then, a brush with death 

Finally in our featured story, haunting hallucinations

We 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

Followed by a graveyard tale

Then, scratches in the basement 

Finally in our featured story, a beast hiding in plain sight

After 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. And while some find comfort in the solitude... it can also be terrifying. The middle of nowhere is where the outcasts lurk, unsettled spirits roam, and beings stuck with our own thoughts may drive us insane. 

First, a cautionary tale

Followed by something sinister in the house 

Then, the darkness is calling 

Finally in our featured story, beware of angering the G-ds
