This story sounds like a blend of urban legend and internet meme, which means it’s scarier than heck. We’re really really hoping the guys who wrote in to Lon were using some unauthorized pharmaceuticals because we’re not feeling great about a world where That Thing exists. Next we have A Supernatural Snake in the Dead […]

The Ontario Reign will host the Cleveland Monsters in an American Hockey League battle on March 14 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena. This is definitely a winnable game for the Reign as the Monsters are tied with the Binghamton Devils at 47 points, the least in the AHL.  The Monsters leading…

Lon Strickler brings us this report that dates back to 1975 about a scout troop, a dark night in the woods, and plenty of sound effects to keep it interesting. Our only question is why the scout leaders waited until morning to book it out of there–there were kids with them for heaven’s sake. More […]

Brent Swancer brings us strange tales that are likely only disturbing to Kevin Bacon fans who have known all along that gigantic sand worms are A Thing.

It includes a veritable (and inexplicable) fortress and nondescript cars driven by terrifying nondescript “people” exuding thinly veiled malice. (Makes us want to find the place ourselves.) But if heavily armed bunker-like facilities are not to your liking, […]

Lon Strickler leads off a quartet of historically-minded UFO articles with something like a very early 19th century airship tale. The “UFO” may be identified in the end, but the stimulus could have come from a current news report. Hopefully the reaction of the 19th-centry inhabitants of Wandsworth, a burg southwest of London, would not […]
