Legend Has It: El Sombrerón
Welcome back to the Morbid Library. It’s been a while, readers, but we’re returning with an all new set of posts for Hispanic Heritage month - which runs from September 15 to October 15.

The Haunted: Houska Castle
We’re back at it again with another haunting, dear reader. It’s been nearly three months since the last time we talked about ghosts and ghouls, so let’s jump right into things.

Creepy Cryptids: Kinderhook Blob
We’re back again this month with a cryptid! This one brings us to upstate New York, where a strange, blobby creature has been spotted throughout the decades.

The Extraterrestrial: Palos Verdes Brains
Okay, everyone. We’re finally back (a bit late, sorry!) with an alien post - and you had better buckle up, because this is a weird one. There aren’t many (if any) credible sources for this one, but it’s just so bizarre that I had to cover it. So. What were the blue, brain-shaped entities sighted …

The Haunted: Snedeker Family Haunting
I’m going a little rogue this month and deviating from the established schedule - we’re going to take a look at another haunting and another urban legend for maximum spookiness. The haunting we will be looking at is one that comes with tragic circumstances - a chronic and devastating illness, the uprooting of a family, …
The Mysterious: Black Eyed Kids
It’s spooky month, readers! That means it’s time for me to cover topics that are near and dear to my heart. So this month’s mystery is one of the big ones I’ve wanted to cover. Are the Black Eyed Kids aliens? Time travelers? Vampires? Ghosts? Nobody knows! Here’s what we do know - they’re creepy …
Legend Has It: Doc Benton
This month’s urban legend is a gruesome one, so get ready. The name of this legend’s focus may sound familiar to you - he’s been featured on the show Supernatural and its companion comic book. In a small town near the White Mountains of New England, a man searched for the key to immortality - …
