The Crawling Eyes
The village of Evershade had always been small, isolated from the world. Nestled between dense forests, it was a place where secrets clung to the fog and the wind whispered things too terrible to be believed. The townsfolk had always been superstitious, their lives governed by old myths passed down from generation to generation, none more haunting than the one about the Crawling Eyes.

The Root Cellar
I. The House That Birthed Him Jeffrey Banks didn’t inherit the Harrow house. He returned to it. That’s the truth — though he didn’t understand it yet. The deed came in a letter that wasn’t mailed, simply found one morning on his kitchen table. It smelled like loam and old rain.

Whispers in the Walls
The rain had begun before she even stepped out of the car. Elena gripped the steering wheel a moment longer, staring at the house that rose like a corpse from the edge of the woods. It had the look of something meant to be forgotten — rotting porch steps, shutters hanging loose like broken bones, and vines choking the chimney. The house had belonged to her grandfather, a man she’d never met, and one her mother refused to speak of.

The Death Book
A mysterious book that only takes lives. So the story begins in the year 1992, where a boy named Chris was studying at a high school in Norway. He was very interested in science and mysterious things. One day, he learned from the school Librarian about a 150-year-old mysterious book, but that book was kept in the cabin of Professor Jack Robert at school. While Chris was already fond of mysterious things, he wanted to get that book at any cost. So that very night, he secretly went to Professor Robert's cabin and stole that book from there. As soon as he reached home, he looked at the book, which was titled The Death Book. And when he opened it, the first page had some rules written. It said this book is only for those who can bear the burden of someone's death, and whoever's name is written in this book will die immediately. But after every death, the writer's own life will shorten bit by bit. Reading this, Chris laughed a lot and quietly thought that this can't really happen. Still, jokingly, he wrote his neighbor uncle's name. Then he put the book aside and slept peacefully. Next morning, he woke up early and got ready for school.

THE BLACK WEDDING: A Marriage with the Dead
In the remote corners of the Balkans, hidden in the folds of mountain mist and old superstition, there exists a nearly forgotten ritual known as the black wedding. When a young man or woman dies shortly before their wedding, the ceremony may still proceed — but as a funeral infused with wedding rites. The bride dresses in black, brings offerings to the grave, and vows are spoken beside the casket. It’s believed that if a promised union is left unfinished, the soul of the deceased will find no peace — and may return.

Aradale: Australia’s Asylum of Anguish
Looming ominously on "Madman's Hill" in Ararat, Victoria, Aradale Mental Hospital (also known as Ararat Lunatic Asylum) unleashed its imposing gates in 1865. Constructed as one of three massive facilities to deal with Victoria's surplus of "lunatics" – a term remarkably applied to everything from the criminally insane to epilepsy, autism, or postpartum depression sufferers – its 130-year history cemented a reputation of utter misery. And this history of hardship fuels its assertion as Australia's spookiest location.

Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897)
Introduction Bram Stoker's Dracula, written in 1897, is the most influential vampire novel ever written. Though not the first story about blood-drinking creatures of the night, Stoker’s Gothic masterpiece codified vampire lore, inspired countless adaptations, and turned Count Dracula into a cultural icon. But Dracula is more than just a horror story—it’s a Victorian-era thriller, a psychological drama, and a symbolic clash between modernity and ancient evil. In this in-depth look, we investigate:

Secrets Beneath the Shadows
In a remote, forgotten part of the town stood an old, crumbling mansion, known among the locals as the “Haunted Manor.” Its dark silhouette loomed ominously against the night sky, casting long, twisted shadows that seemed to stretch endlessly under the silver moonlight. The mansion’s history was shrouded in mystery, passed down from one fearful generation to the next, each tale more chilling than the last. Years ago, a strange and unexplained incident had forced the mansion into abandonment. Since then, an eerie silence enveloped the place, broken only by the whispers of the wind. No one dared approach, believing the manor was cursed a prison for restless spirits doomed to wander forever.
