Chaonei No. 81: The Most Haunted House in Beijing
Chaonei No. 81, situated at Chaoyangmen Inner Street in Beijing, is among China's most famous haunted houses. The three-storeyed brick mansion, built in French Baroque revival style during the early twentieth century, is a protected historical building owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Beijing. While architecturally notable, it was missing archive records and the building's long, degraded silence that stirred the public imagination—prime for speculation.

It had been eight months since Elena Ward returned from her trip to the old European village where everything began.

Japan's Haunted Round Schoolhouse: The Ghosts of Numahigashi Elementary
Of the dozens of haunted sites in Japan, a land that by no means has a shortage of ghostly legend, there is no more tragic history than that of the Round Schoolhouse—Numahigashi Elementary School. It's not a tale of a sudden massacre or an ancient evil curse, but a slow-motion, strangling tragedy born of war, a tale that has soaked into the very concrete of its symbolic round walls.

The Road That Remembered My Name
The first rays of morning touched the small village road like golden paint. I had come there to take a break from the noise of the city — no schedules, no phones, no rush. Just silence, sunshine, and maybe a little adventure. The road ahead curved between green hills, and for the first time in months, I felt light.

The Vanishing: Five Lost in the Bennington Triangle
Prologue — Cold Wind Over Glastenbury The wind comes down off Glastenbury Mountain like a long, patient breath. It moves through the black spruce and red maple, rattles the old logging roads, and combs the cleared lines where a town used to be. If you stand quiet enough, you can hear it whistle through things that are no longer here: clapboard houses, mill wheels, footfalls. Voices.
