This is a bad way to start anything but I guess I have to be honest… I don’t do anything anymore. I mean that’s a heavy statement to make but it’s pretty true. Not that this is a recent thing, it’s just gotten worse. I recently finished college and like most grads I can’t find a job. You know how it goes, can’t get experience without getting a job and can’t get a job because you don’t have experience. It’s a shitty cycle, and it starts to get to you. You can only keep yourself motivate... Read Full Chapter

Right from the first ever electric chair execution in 1890, the victim being the calm and calculated murderer William Kemmler, the electric chair has played a key role in capital punishment and executions in the history of America.

The electric chair originated not as a form of torture, but as a more humane method of executing criminals than the famous traditional method of hanging. Nowadays, use of the electric chair is declining due to victims choosing the more popular method of execution ... Read Full Chapter

I've always had a fascination for the paranormal, investigating ghost stories and urban legends since I was a kid.

If I ever heard a story that included the words, “they say, if you go there at midnight,” then I was there at midnight, waiting for a genuine encounter.

In hindsight, I wish that I hadn't. If you chase a shadow long enough, you're bound to find the caster. Trust me when I say this: you don't want to know.

Yeah, I know that's how these stories usually begin. “Please don't read ... Read Full Chapter

Frank, Thomas and Kirby enter the office break room at approximately 12:25pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Each man holds various containers designed for holding food and drink, and as they lazily slump into the fiberglass chairs that were haphazardly pushed under the table after their previous uses, the room echos of violent thwop-pops and elongated scraw-jips as tupperware lids fly open and velcro bags release their treasures.

“God Dammit!” Thomas rolls his eyes.

Frank, with a mouth full of col... Read Full Chapter

I suppose when I say, “Noroi Gakkotsu,” most of you would guess I was talking about some exotic delicacy, or maybe some holiday resort in the far east. You’d be dead wrong. A Noroi Gakkotsu is a very nasty object that has been part of Japanese folklore for centuries, maybe even millennia.

Please keep reading! I know that folklore, especially folklore from a completely foreign culture, bores a lot of people to snores. I can assure you, I’m no fan either. But please believe me when I say that ... Read Full Chapter

We moved into the house when I was 16. I remember walking up the steps into the dusty old Victorian home as if it happened only a day ago. Believe me, I wish I hadn't. I wish I had told my parents of the weird feeling I got around that godforsaken place. I should have told them the hairs on the back of my neck stood up the second I passed the threshold and stepped into the grand entryway. This is my story.

I wander up the winding spiral staircase, glancing in every direction as though not to... Read Full Chapter

Before I begin, let me explain what is happening to me. The technical term for what I am is called an eidetic. You’ve probably heard of people with photographic memories, well that’s what it is, except eidetics are not limited by the visual sense in what they remember. While each case varies in their specific capabilities, feelings of sound, taste, smell and touch can also be vividly recalled at any time. Some eidetics are also known to have the ability to see what they are thinking. This is ... Read Full Chapter
