              Gerald Gardner, the "father of Wicca", first introduced the Book of Shadows to people that he had initiated into the craft through his Bricket Wood coven in the 1950s. He claimed that it was a personal cookbook of spells that have worked for the owner; they could copy from his own book and add material as they saw fit. He said that the practice of Witches keeping such a book was ancient, and was practiced by the Witch-cult throughout history.

               The theory of cellular memories states that memories, as well as personality traits, are not only stored in the brain but may also be stored in organs such as the heart. In 2009 Harvard Medical School defined cellular memories as “a sustained cellular response to a transient stimulus.” Basically, when a cell is introduced to a specific stimulus it will react in a certain way and every time it is given this stimulus it will have the same response. The best way to understand cellular memories is studying cases of organ transplants. One of the more famous cases includes a woman named Claire Sylvia. In the 70s this woman received a heart and lung transplant from an 18-year- old boy who died in a motorcycle accident. After her surgery Sylvia had cravings she never had before like beer and burgers. After some time, she contacted the family of her donor and was in shock that he enjoyed the same foods.

             The Bermuda Triangle is a patch of ocean in the western North Atlantic Ocean. It’s near Florida and Bermuda and is famous for being the site of mysterious disappearances and spooky happenings. If you believe the legends, Vermont is also home to a cursed area known as the Bennington Triangle. The Bennington Triangle is located just north of (you guessed it) Bennington, Vermont. It’s actually not really a triangle so much as a swath of land that is a hotbed of paranormal and gruesome activity. The "triangle" is known for being the site of frequent UFO sightings, shadowy figures, and even flesh-eating rocks. Of course, Bigfoot aficionados also claim that the wooly hominid has been seen in the Bennington area.

             Said to be one of the ten most haunted places in America, the Lemp Mansion in St.Louis, Missouri, continues to play host to the tragic Lemp family. Over the years, the mansion was transformed from the stately home of millionaires to office space, decaying into a run-down boarding house, and finally restored to its current state as a fine dinner theatre, restaurant and bed and breakfast.

               According to Walton and a number of other members from the logging crew, on November 5, 1975, he was working with a timber stand improvement crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona. While riding in a truck with six of his coworkers, they allegedly encountered a saucer-shaped object hovering over the ground approximately 110 feet (34 m) away, making a high-pitched buzz. Walton says that after he left the truck and approached the object, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the craft and knocked him unconscious. The other six men were frightened and supposedly drove away. Walton says that he awoke in a hospital-like room, being observed by three short, bald creatures.
