This month’s urban legend is a little-known tale from Algoma Township, near Rockford, MI - how are you all liking this dive into the lore of the mitten state? I hope you’re all ready for this one. There isn’t a lot of information on it but it is semi-infamous locally, probably due to the legend [...]

The Haunted: Mackinac Island
As we get deeper into October, I’ve decided to explore some pet cases of mine. That means we’re staying in Michigan for this week’s post. In this post, we’ll explore Mackinac Island (pronounced mack-ih-naw, y’all) and its many hauntings. Brief History I recognize that many of my readers will not be familiar with Mackinac Island, [...]
Creepy Cryptids: The Jersey Devil
Gather round ghouls and goblins, because this post is going to be long. As we get closer and closer to spooky season, we will be tackling more and more of the looming topics in each category. As you hopefully saw from this post's title (you do read the titles, right?), this week’s post is one [...]
The Extraterrestrial: Aurora Burial
In the weirdosphere we often discuss alien sightings and crashes. What doesn’t necessarily come up is the aftermath. At least, we do not normally have the details for what happens after. Maybe that’s because the alien wreckage gets scooped up by the military or other government agencies right away. Maybe the survivors snatch up their [...]
The Haunted: Old House Woods
It’s almost spooky season so let’s get into the season with a strangely varied case - what screams autumn more than a haunted forest? Virginia has such a long and storied history, it’s no wonder that it’s home to what just might be the most haunted forest in the United States. Buckle up folks, we’re [...]
Legend Has It: Bunnyman Bridge
This month’s urban legend is a classic that I have wanted to cover for a very long time. It’s got all of the individual elements of a lasting creepy legend: horrifying setting, unknown and dangerous entity, a genesis seemingly rooted in reality, and some subtle moral leanings (don’t stay out late, don’t disturb nature, etc). [...]
The Haunted: Clinton Road
This month’s post about a haunting is kind of all over the place. So much so that it sounds like one of those Stefan skits from Saturday Night Live. You know, “this haunted road has everything…creepy cults, a werewolf thing, the KKK, ghostly government workers, pagans, ghost trucks, and even aliens!” But really. It has [...]
Creepy Cryptids: Boo Hags
Today, let’s take a look at a cryptid from Gullah culture. Before we dive in, I want to first give you all an overview of the Gullah people, as I am continuing my efforts to elevate Black voices and culture. The Gullah People The Gullah People are a cultural group made up of Black Americans [...]
Legend Has It: The Curse of Lake Lanier?
The Lake Lake Lanier is a manmade lake in Georgia. It was created as a result of the Buford Dam, which sits on the Chattahoochee River. Lake Lanier is also fed by the Chestatee River. As the story goes, the lake expanded beyond expectations and the spread of the water could not be controlled. This [...]
The Extraterrestrial: Warminster Thing
Before we get started, I would like to take a few moments to discuss Black Lives Matter. I stand 100% with the movement and I am committed to continuing my efforts. I have been signing petitions and donating where I can, along with setting aside an hour a day to [...]
