Something Scary

Playing games is a holiday tradition, but beware those that take you into supernatural realms. What seems like harmless fun can unleash dark forces. Laughter and games may stir shadows. So tread carefully in this mysterious space where play time meets the unknown, or you might find yourself staring directly into the face of death. 

First, smile for your murder

Then, games from the dark web

Finally in our last story, the creepypasta Snowman Ritual

Communicating with the dead can be a haunting experience. You might unravel secrets from beyond the grave that can scar you forever. But in the whispers of the departed, you also might find enlightenment. And you better pray you experience the latter. 

First, secrets of the labyrinth 

Then, the dead will drive you mad

Finally in our last story, a light in the dark

If you’re a decent person with a conscience, feeling guilt over something can be all-consuming. Like a relentless storm, casting a shadow over your every thought and action. It’s a constant reminder of the choices you made. You either learn to live with it, or somehow make it right. But if you can’t… your guilt may haunt you to the end.

First, a deadly task

Then, the ghosts are calling 

Finally in our last story, The famous, Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

Exacting your revenge on someone might feel good in the moment, like winning a game. It can make you happy in that instant, but it can also make you feel sick to your stomach later. Like a lingering ghost that constantly nags you, reminding you of the horrors you inflicted. In the end you might turn into the evil person you so hated. Begging the question, who will then seek revenge on you? 

First, clean, pure, torture 

Then, revenge is a dish best served in soup

Finally in our last story, a past full of secrets

We recently celebrated Veterans Day, a time to pay tribute to our courageous military veterans who have selflessly defended our nation. Despite their incredible bravery, it is undeniable that these veterans have witnessed a great deal of death, and with death often come haunting tales, filled with both fascination and terror. Today, we are delighted to bring you some of these accounts in one of our most popular podcast mini-series, "Ghosts of War, Part 4."

First, a call from the dead

Followed by the hauntings of Fort Monroe

Finally in our featured story, man vs. monster

We all have that one toy, doll, or stuffed animal that we were attached to as kids. The thing that could comfort us in our darkest times. But when we endow those items with so much power, it’s no wonder some of them use it against us. Some of our most precious items will turn on us, coming to life and bringing evil into our world. The problem is, you have no idea if the doll that lays beside you at night is a good one, or one that will haunt you forever. 

First, horror caught on tape

Followed by the corpse bride

Then, evil emerald eyes

Finally in our featured story, a taste of terror

We are so drawn to haunted places because they offer a unique blend of fear and fascination. Erie locations allow us to confront our primal fears while also satisfying our intrigue about the mysteries of the area. It also makes them irresistible destinations for adrenaline seekers. But while some use these opportunities for entertainment, there are many who are scarred for life by what they encounter in a haunted place. That is if they’re lucky enough to survive it. 

First, a deadly sight

Followed by a monster beneath the surface

Then, reflection or horrific reality?

Finally in our featured story, a headless horseman’s revenge
