Something Scary

A full moon is upon us, and while many of us look up at the night sky and enjoy the glow of the lunar light, there are others who see it as something much more sinister. It’s a sign for all of nature to come out and show their true colors, even if that means showing their evil, murderous selves. Because some things in nature, just like some people can’t help their true essence, some are just natural born killers. 

First, death disused in beauty 

Followed by an urban legend

Then, a killer in plain sight

Finally in our featured story, the media made a murder

Throughout our childhoods, many of us had a special toy or doll that brought us joy and companionship. However, in rare instances, some of these playthings seem to be more than that. They possess an eerie aura, hinting at a darker presence lurking within their innocent exteriors. Beware of the toys with the malevolent souls because if you’re not careful, they will take you down with them. 

First, tortured by guilt 

Followed by one terrible mistake 

Then, horror in your own backyard

Finally in our featured story, possessed by evil

We all love to cool off on those hot summer days by jumping into a pool, lake or the ocean, but safely must come first. Not the obvious learning how to swim or wearing gear like wetsuits, but safety from the unknown. The slippery creatures that lurk under the surface. We should beware the call of the water. It may promise wonders, but beneath its seductive facade lies sinister secrets that may lead us to a fate worse than death itself. 

First, a deadly reflection 

Followed by a dangerous dive

Then, a dream pool turned hole of nightmares

Finally in our featured story, a monster in disguise

The 4th of July 4th is Independence Day in America. And while we can all celebrate the freedoms and blessings we have in this country, it doesn't come without great risk. In all different areas across our land there dwell spirits and ghosts that tell the history of terrifying things that happened there. So be sure to be thankful for what you have, because you never know when the paranormal will strike and life as you know it will be gone for good.

We wake up in the morning with a long to-do list of things we have to get done just to survive. Everything from school work, to jobs to paying bills. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. And sometimes we have to make unimaginable decisions that have unimaginable consequences. You must be careful, because the wrong choice can lead you down a path of death and destruction. And when we’re left with the daunting task of selecting the lesser of two evils, we fervently hope to emerge from that hell unscathed.

First, a never ending seance 

Followed by beware the silence 

Then, you’d be safer at home

Love is in the air as “wedding season” is officially upon us. But while love-struck couples are celebrating their nuptials with friends and family, there are those who are not living in such bliss. Some of us are tortured by exes, unrequited love, or relationships that ended when one now lives beyond the grave. And then there are those of us who are just tortured by the rituals of a wedding, figuratively, and some literally. So wherever you fall on the list, take care to guard your heart this season, because a broken heart can be deadly. 

First, a deal too good to be true

Followed by a deadly lovers quarrel 

Then, the wedding of your nightmares

Finally in our featured story, fear of the dead

Summertime is finally here! For many of us school is out, and we can indulge in summer barbeques, outdoor games, beaches and pools! But we're not the only ones outside enjoying the warm summer air. The season also calls forth all of the creepy crawly bugs and beasts who have been in hibernation. And not the cute furry ones, but the ones who need to feed. So beware this summer of creatures big, small, and supernatural who are out for your blood. 

First, it’s watching you..

Followed by cleaning tips; 

Then, love worth dying for, 

Finally in our featured story, karma kills
