The Abnormal House
A crumbling mansion perched atop the hill like a menacing watchtower had always stood out from the others in the small town of Hollowbrook for as long as anyone could remember. It was the kind of place children dared each other to approach, the subject of hushed whispers between adults, the one that everyone steered clear of. However, the stories about the house had become increasingly bizarre and unsettling over time. The Abnormal Horror House was its name. Not only was it haunted, but It was far worse than that, in fact. Rumors spread that the house itself had a mind of its own, a soul that fed on the fear of anyone who dared enter.

Leeches & Lunacy: When Medicine Was More Murderous Than the Malady
I. Introduction: A Dance with Death in the Doctor's Office The odor of jasmine incense had always brought Padma a certain peace, but on this day, it only served to intensify the metallic taste of fear in the village healer's hut. Padma's grandmother, Amma, was lying on a woven mat, with a deeper set of lines on her face than the normal wrinkles of old age, infused with a sickly yellow tinge that Padma worried about more than she would ever disclose. Amma's joints ached and her bones felt brittle; their local Vaidya, who commanded respect and fear not only as a healer but also as a powerful man in the village, had confidently diagnosed "vata", or an imbalance of air. How did he cure it? Raktamokshana, or bloodletting.

The Architects of the Shattered Flesh
It began with you, though to call it a beginning was a lie crafted to soothe what little mind you had left. The first scars didn't appear—they awoke, slithering out from beneath your skin like worms tasting the air. Pale and twitching, they cut themselves into your ribs, thighs, arms—soft places first, tender places, leaking thin streams of blackened blood that hissed when it hit the air.

🌸 Spring Is Lovely This Time of Year
I used to think spring was my favorite season. There's something about it — the slow, heavy thaw of winter, the way color creeps back into the world. Crocuses pushing through the dirt. Trees trembling with blossoms. It was always perceived as a promise. A second chance.

A REAL STORY
Let me share a “real” ghost story with you. For those of you who aren’t familiar with what a ghost is, let me explain: A ghost is the soul of a person that, though incorporeal, can’t be seen during the day—or even at night. But sometimes, it can be felt... especially at night. Occasionally, it can even be sensed during the day.

The House That Remembers. AI-Generated.
Evelyn was a photographer who chased stories. Not the glamorous kind—she hunted forgotten places: ghost towns, decaying hospitals, overgrown graveyards. So when she stumbled across an obscure blog post about Whistler House, nestled deep in the Adirondacks, she was intrigued.

Whispers Beyond the Glass
The visitation room was freezing. It was a plain, empty place where thick glass separated visitors from inmates. If you wanted to talk to someone inside, you had to use an old gray telephone. There was no other way to connect. No hugs, no handshakes. Only cold plastic and glass between you.
