Vanishing Point. AI-Generated.
On a warm June night in 2018, 23-year-old Jermain “Liz” Austin Charlo walked out of a Missoula alley and into a mystery that still grips Montana—and the nation. A mother of two and a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Jermain was vibrant, creative, and planning a new chapter. She loved fishing, hiking, and art. She was applying for a firefighting job and dreaming of college. Her life was full of promise. Then, she vanished.

The Remote Charm of Silver Jack Inn. AI-Generated.
Nestled along the desolate stretches of U.S. Highway 50 in the tiny desert community of Baker, Nevada, the Silver Jack Inn & LectroLux Café sits quietly, a relic of simpler times. To the untrained eye, it is just a modest inn, a stopover for weary travelers making their way through the lonely expanses of the “Loneliest Road in America.” Yet, for those who linger a little longer, a different story begins to unfold — one of whispers, shadowed hallways, and spirits that refuse to rest.

The Haunted Heart of Long Island. AI-Generated.
Nestled near the geographic center of Long Island lies Lake Ronkonkoma — the largest freshwater lake on the island, and, by the whispers of locals, one of the most haunted. Beneath its serene surface, the lake holds centuries of myth, tragedy, and whispered warnings: for some, Lake Ronkonkoma isn’t just a body of water, it’s a siren with a soul, drawing hearts and lives into its depths. Over the years, its placid waters have been both a sanctuary and a menace, inspiring stories of love, betrayal, and lingering spirits.

The Haunted History of Devil’s Turnaround. AI-Generated.
Hidden in the quiet woods of Cobb County, Georgia, lies a place few dare to tread after dark — Devil’s Turnaround. To the casual passerby, it is merely a forgotten cemetery, overgrown and silent. But those who linger feel something else entirely — a presence that watches, waits, and, some claim, strikes. Over decades, this place has inspired stories of malevolent spirits, ritualistic activity, and inexplicable phenomena that have terrified locals, paranormal investigators, and adventurous thrill-seekers alike.

Altamaha-ha. AI-Generated.
An in-depth exploration of history, folklore, sightings, and cultural meaning If you drift quietly along the coffee-colored waters of Georgia’s Altamaha River—one of the largest rivers on the U.S. East Coast—you may hear whispers of a creature locals insist has lived there for centuries. It goes by many names, but the most enduring is Altamaha-ha, affectionately shortened to “Altie.” A cryptid said to roam the depths of the Altamaha River and the interwoven canals of the Georgia coast, Altamaha-ha remains one of the American South’s most unique and intriguing legendary creatures.

The Flatwoods Monster. AI-Generated.
On a cool September night in 1952, a quiet Appalachian town became the center of one of the most baffling and iconic monster legends in American folklore. The story of the Flatwoods Monster—also called the Braxton County Monster, the Green Monster, or even “that thing the kids saw on the hill”—remains one of the most intriguing cases in UFO lore. It’s a tale woven from fear, Cold War anxieties, imaginative eyewitness testimony, and the enduring human appetite for mysteries.

Amhuluk: The Water Monster of the Columbia Plateau. AI-Generated.
When people think of mythic creatures from the Pacific Northwest, their minds often jump to Bigfoot, sea serpents, or thunderbirds soaring above the forests. But tucked into the oral traditions of the Yakama Nation and neighboring Columbia Plateau tribes is a deeper, stranger, older being—one that embodies the region’s powerful waters and the thin boundary between the human world and the supernatural.

Restless Soil. AI-Generated.
The following was AI assisted with research formatting and grammar. 1. Introduction: More than Just a Graveyard On first glance, Antioch Rest Cemetery—nestled just off County Road 304A outside Grandview, Texas—might not appear remarkable. Its modest headstones, quiet groves, and unassuming entrance give little hint of the chilling reputation it holds among locals and paranormal seekers. But for decades, this cemetery has become a focal point for bone-chilling stories: eerie lights, flying rocks, shadowy figures, and even tales of a “Goatman” stalking its grounds.

The Dover Demon. AI-Generated.
The folowing was AI assistd for research and formatting In April 1977, four independent eyewitnesses in Dover, Massachusetts reported encounters with an unknown bipedal creature possessing a disproportionately large cranium, spindly extremities, and glowing eyes. These sightings occurred within a narrow 25-hour time window and a small geographic radius. Despite the lack of subsequent reports or physical evidence, the “Dover Demon” remains an enduring subject of cryptozoological and anomalistic inquiry. This chapter presents an extensive examination of the case, including historical context, phenomenological analysis, environmental assessment, witness reliability, psychological considerations, comparisons with global analogues, taxonomic hypotheses, and the sociocultural impact of the event. Its singularity provides fertile ground for examining how isolated anomalous experiences enter (and resist entering) regional folklore, and how they challenge conventional classificatory frameworks.

The Hauntings at Poole’s Mill Covered Bridge
Poole’s Mill Covered Bridge is a fun destination for many families, friends, and sweethearts in the warm months of the year in Georgia. This park is away from the beaten path on some winding back roads in Forsyth County, not too far from the Cherokee County line, off of Highway 369. There is a nice playground, swings, picnic tables here and there, plus a pavilion (with decent restrooms) for family get-togethers. However, those amenities are not the reason that people are drawn to this location. Beyond the covered bridge that spans across Settendown Creek, there is a series of shallow pools and water falls that meander down a rocky water scape that beckon children, adults, and even dogs to splash and play with delight. This is a natural water park that doesn’t require hefty fees, is laid back, and it even has a haunted history!

Blue Ridge witch – Haunting of Tilley Bend Church
“Once upon a time”.. Those are the typical words used when someone starts telling a story. Adults sit back, getting a faraway look in their eyes. Kids sit down on the floor, Indian style, arms propping up their chins. All eyes are on the story teller, and the words spin into their ears and wind around the minds of all that are suddenly entranced, waiting with baited breath for the story that will come after.

NEW HIGHTOWER CHURCH OF CANTON, GEORGIA, A.K.A. HELLS CHURCH
Plenty of rumors have been tossed around about a small, country church located on Shoal Creek Road in Canton, GA. While its true name is New Hightower Baptist Church, many have dubbed it with a different and more sinister name: Hell’s Church. That name just doesn’t seem to fit the white steepled church nestled against vivid blue skies on a sunny spring day, especially after driving up the small, winding back road to it, with the picturesque backdrop of trees, flowers, and rolling hills. A monument adorns the front entrance with these words:
