Neither is a postmaster, for that matter. Well, think again. *** Not everything creepy that happens to someone can be classified as paranormal or otherworldly. In fact, a majority of the things that give us goosebumps and set our hair up straight are totally explainable… but that doesn’t mean they aren’t terrifying. We’ll look at some true stories from people who had some creepy experiences that while scary, were not of supernatural origin. *** One girl seemed to be able to move things with the power of her mind. Another girl seemed to have the strength of a dozen men. Were they charlatans, mere entertainers, or were their powers derived from something supernatural? *** AND MORE!SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“The Randonautica Dead Body” posted at The Scare Chamber: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/af5u7h9w “The McElheny Murder” from Strange Company: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2bx9jwep “Creepy Things This Side of Normal” by Michelle Nati for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/brsf4rhe “The Electric Girl and the Georgia Wonder” by Romeo Vitelli for Providentiahttps://weirddarkness.tiny.us/awuppu2n; and Tony Wolf for Atlas Obscura https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/54npznbj Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
