This month’s Alien Post™ comes to us all the way from France - our first trip to the country! Though Valensole has come to conjure thoughts of flying saucers in the heads of those in-the-know about UFOs, this case is surprisingly underreported.

Legend Has It: Hanako-San
This month’s urban legend is one of many niche legends out of Japan: bathroom or toilet ghosts. So who is Hanako-San, and why is she doomed to spend an eternity in a bathroom stall? Let’s explore. Yōkai and Yūrei Before we get into the specific legend of Hanako-San, we need to get into the folklore [...]
The Haunted: Sunnyvale Toys R Us
This month’s haunting brings us back to the golden state to explore our first (and quite possibly only) retail-space-based haunting. Toys R Us may not have physical locations anymore, this building will forever be known as the Sunnyvale Toys R Us. Why? Well, because the ghosts liked the toys, apparently. Let’s explore. The Origin There [...]
Creepy Cryptids: Kushtaka
This month’s cryptid brings us up to the coasts of Alaska. There lurks Bigfoot’s semi-aquatic cousin, known as the Kushtaka (or Kooshdakhaa) - which translates from the Tlingit language to mean “land otter man.” These creatures are prominent features in indigenous folklore along the coast of Alaska - the Tlingit People, Ts’msyen People, and the [...]

Let’s explore. The Tale This story [...]
Legend Has It: Black Aggie
A strange statue stands over the grave of a civil war general in Pikesville, Maryland. The statue is made of bronze and depicts a young person, encased in a shroud. Their eyes are shut as if in deep meditation. If not for the thick miasma of urban legends surrounding this figure, its stance would be [...]
The Haunted: Big Bay Point Light House
On the shores of the famously haunted Lake Superior sits a lighthouse, built of brick and concrete. Though the light was automated decades ago, hundreds still pass through its doors to stay the night. This month’s haunting is the Big Bay Point Lighthouse, which is the only operational lighthouse with a bed and breakfast. It’s [...]
Creepy Cryptids: The Van Meter Visitor
Today we’re going to cover a very strange cryptid that comes to us from Van Meter, Iowa. It was only sighted in October 1903, and has never been seen again. This cryptid goes far beyond other cryptids covered before in many ways - it was seen by several people for extended periods of time, and [...]
