The Locked Room Mystery
The Locked Room Mystery Detective Marcus Vane had seen plenty of strange crime scenes in his twenty years on the force, but nothing like this. The door was locked from the inside. Windows sealed. No signs of forced entry. And yet, the body was there—slumped in the antique armchair like someone who had simply stopped breathing mid-thought.

Two Crewmates. One Mission
The Earth turned beneath them, brilliant and silent. Commander Elena Morozov floated near the Cupola, her fingers braced against the window’s rim. Beyond the thick panes of reinforced glass, a swath of the Northern Hemisphere shimmered in the black. Her breath fogged slightly in her helmet, though the cabin temperature held steady. She hadn’t moved in an hour.

Perfectly Aligned
It all began with her mouth. Not her words—those were refined and articulate, each syllable floating with an elegant grace reminiscent of a feather on the breeze, as only Ms. Whitlock could deliver. But it was the movement of her lips when she smiled—a lopsided, insubordinate smirk that never quite conformed. It leaned ever so slightly to the left, much like a crooked painting on a wall.

Between Sacred Stones and Silent Screams: The Haunted Soul of Wat Sisaket
The Ghostly Past of Wat Sisaket: Lao's Spiritual Mystery Deep in the center of Vientiane, Wat Sisaket is a legacy to Laos' violent past and spiritual heritage. Built in 1818 on the orders of King Anouvong (Sethathirath V), this temple is the oldest surviving Buddhist structure in the capital, having escaped destruction by a hair's breadth during the Siamese invasion of 1827. Its unusual Siamese-influenced design—featuring a five-tiered roof and a cloistered courtyard—likely spared it the same fate as neighboring temples, which were reduced to rubble. It is today revered not only for its history but also for its notoriety as one of the most haunted locations in Laos, where the specters of the past whisper along its dimly lit passages.

The Smiling Man:A Glimpse into the Darkness Behind the Smile.. AI-Generated.
In the vast realm of internet horror and urban folklore, few figures evoke the same eerie fascination as The Smiling Man. This enigmatic being has carved out a spooky place in contemporary mythology. It is neither a ghost nor a demon, and it is neither entirely human nor overtly supernatural. Originating from a now-famous account shared online, The Smiling Man walks the razor-thin line between reality and nightmare — and it's that ambiguity which makes him unforgettable.
