For this next post we continue to wade in murky waters. We’re jumping ahead to 1973, which is a smaller gap than we’ve seen so far - and we will not see a time period as we continue with this series. Again, not a lot is known about Rita Jolly, her disappearance, or the ensuing …

Bundy: Joyce LePage (Suspected)
As we move along in this series, we get into murkier waters. We're also jumping forward five years from the last post. There isn’t a lot of information available about Joyce LePage out there. If it were not for her brother’s determination to find out what truly happened to his sister and apprehend her killer, …

Close Encounter: Dechmont Woods Encounter
This month’s alien post will cover the strange Scottish case known as the Dechmont Woods Encounter.

The Unsolved: Jeannette DePalma
This month’s unsolved murder is a case that has fascinated me for a long, long time.

This post will …
Legend Has It: Bunnyman Bridge

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). …

Close Encounter: 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 …
The Unnamed: Sumter County Does Part II
This is one of the most frustrating Doe cases I’ve ever read about. We have so many clues about these people. They boy had very distinctive features. Why can’t anyone find a string to follow here? This second part was very frustrating to research and is ultimately not satisfying. There are no answers here, and …
