My Dog Barks At The Same Blank Wall Every Night at 3 AM. I Finally Bought A Thermal Camera To See What He's Looking At.
My Dog Barks At The Same Blank Wall Every Night at 3 AM. I Finally Bought A Thermal Camera To See What He's Looking At. Max is a Golden Retriever. If you know anything about the breed, you know they don’t have a mean bone in their body. Max loves everyone. He loves the mailman, he loves the neighbors, he even loves the vet. He rarely barks.

My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11.
My Apartment Building Only Has 10 Floors. The Elevator Just Stopped At Floor 11. I’ve lived in the "Eclipse Towers" for five years. It’s a standard, boring concrete block in the city center. Ten floors. Four apartments per floor. I live on the 8th. I know every crack in the sidewalk and every stain on the carpet.

When the Chainsaw Was Born in Blood
Have you ever woken up in the dead of night, heart pounding, convinced something's just... off? Like the air's too still, or there's a shadow where there shouldn't be? Yeah, that gut-twisting moment hit me hard the other day when I stumbled across this old video from MrBallen-the guy who spins those strange, dark tales that stick with you long after the screen goes black. It got me thinking about how real life can out-creep any ghost story. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you double-check your locks. So, buckle up; I'm about to unpack three wild, true accounts from that vid, each one weirder and more unsettling than the last. Let's dive in, shall we?

I Heard My Mom Yell My Name From The Kitchen. Then She Texted Me From The Grocery Store.
I Heard My Mom Yell My Name From The Kitchen. Then She Texted Me From The Grocery Store. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The kind where the dust motes dance in the sunlight and the house feels safe and warm. I was in my bedroom upstairs, headphones on, scrolling through social media.

The Legacy of The Blair Witch Project
It’s hard to believe in this social media and internet-savvy age, that 26 years ago two young filmmakers were able to convince moviegoers that The Blair Witch Project was a genuine documentary. But that was the premise of the online marketing campaign that had punters clamouring to see this independent horror film, made for around $60,000 and going on to generate some $250m worldwide.

Zombie Flesh Eaters
I can’t believe it took me until the age of 45 (12 years ago) to watch Zombie Flesh Eaters. This gory Italian flick from director Lucio Fulci was the stuff of legend when I was in secondary school in the early 80s. “Have you seen it…?” awe-struck 12 year-olds would ask and I, having seen nothing more horrific than Doctor Who at the time, would reply, miserably, that I had not.

Freddy Krueger and the Elm Street Legacy
I want to talk about the man of my dreams. Sigh. Freddy Krueger. But seriously, the First Nightmare on Elm Street movie really did haunt my dreams for some time after I saw it. It was literally the stuff of nightmare, and in his first outing Freddy was a genuinely frightening foe. Towards the end of the core series of films he had become an almost pure comedy character, but in Nightmare 1 Freddy was dark and menacing — although he did have a wicked sense of humour.
