urban legend
Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.
Slenderman - short story
Slenderman has always been a point of interest for me and my friends, a creepypasta we found entertaining starting all the way back in 2018. Inspired by the very real experiences I had where I'm from at dusk in the months preceding Christmas, when the sun dips low and the trees become brilliant shows of warm hues, this Slenderman story was my first creative writing piece I wrote as a freshman in high school. Enjoy :) Written in Fall 2025 as a freshman in high school.

The Shadow That Never Lets Go
The dark of night has always been a mixture of fear, silence, and loneliness for humans. Some nights feel heavier than others, as if the air itself is pressing against your chest. There is an invisible weight that makes every shadow seem alive, every sound amplified, every movement a threat. These are the nights when a person is not truly alone. Ali, a young man who thought he was ordinary, experienced one such night that would change him forever.

The Haunting of Hollow Creek: The Demon Beneath the Old Bridge. AI-Generated.
Clara had never liked the Hollow Creek Bridge. Not that anyone did, really. The locals often whispered about the ancient structure, its cold stone arches sagging with time, and the black, murky waters that slithered beneath it like something alive. But Clara was practical, dismissing those stories as just that—stories.

The Paranormal Digest for Nov 22, 2025
It’s Saturday, which means that it’s time for another round of paranormal weirdness. I am, as always, taking a look at some places and phenomena that tend to leave us with more questions than answers. For me, though, that is part of the fun, as it allows us all to head down mysterious rabbit holes after being teased with a little bit of information. Rabbit holes are actually one of the things being discussed this week, but let’s take a look at them all now.

Episode II – The Serpent Syndicate: Masters of Venom and Deception
Before humanity learned to fear the dark, it learned to fear the shape that moved within it... A line... A curve... A slither. The first predators we ever met did not roar or charge. They whispered across the ground.

The Woman in White
Edward was driving along a back road on his way home from the All Hallows Eve party. The forested area was dark and seemed extra gloomy. The trees wilted more than usual, a light fog hung in the air, and the moon itself seemed to be hiding away. Even the car’s headlights were in a state of melancholy, illuminating the winding road ahead much less than Ed would have liked. He sat stiff in his seat. He had made this drive a hundred times before, but tonight at the clock’s third hour, it felt unusual, unsafe, unhinged.
