The Creeping Horror of Vietnam: When Soldiers Faced More Than Just the Enemy
When we think of war, images of soldiers, weapons, and battles usually come to mind. But in Vietnam, the battlefield was far more complex. American troops weren’t just fighting the Viet Cong they were also fighting the land itself.

The Door That Never Closed
The office building was nearly empty, save for the dim hum of fluorescent lights and the occasional creak of the old elevator shafts. Sarah stood on the top floor, clutching her tote bag like it was a lifeline. Her heart thudded in her chest, each beat a warning she tried to ignore. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to turn back, to leave the building and retreat to the safety of her car. But the email from her manager had been clear: “Retrieve the file from the 13th-floor archive. No excuses.”

Veil of Shadows — The Glimmer Man: The Military’s Invisible Stalker
Imagine walking a ridge road at dusk. The trees are beginning to blur into one another; chips of light etch the trunks in quick, accidental stripes. Your breath fogs in front of you. Somewhere in the undergrowth a branch snaps. A small, ordinary sound, and then the air itself seems to ripple, like heat over asphalt. Not a shape. Not a shadow. A thin, trembling seam of light where nothing should be. You feel your skin tighten, like the world just remembered you were there.

The Ningen: Japan’s Government-Concealed Arctic Humanoid
“White Under White” Imagine a horizon that never blinks. A seam of gray sky stitched to a dead-flat sea, nothing to measure distance, nothing to hold onto but your breath fogging in your mask. The ship’s metal moans in the cold. Sonar pings like a heartbeat you don’t trust. And then, under the ice, something pale glides by. It’s not a whale. Not a seal. It is shaped like an idea you don’t want to have: a human form, impossible in scale, moving with the slow, deliberate grace of something that has never needed to fear you.

Season 4: Whispers of the Forgotten: A Descent into Eldoria Manor
Chapter 1 The grinding outside grew louder, a deep, earth-shaking rumble that vibrated through the cabin's very foundations. The windows began to rattle in their frames, and dust rained down from the ceiling. Alistair, his heart pounding in his chest, looked at the silent music box in his hands, then at his terrified companions.

The Mystery Man Who Landed in Japan With a Passport From Nowhere
In the summer heat of 1959, Tokyo’s busy Haneda Airport became the stage for one of the strangest encounters in modern travel history. A well-dressed man, confident and fluent in several languages, stepped off a plane from Hong Kong and approached immigration like any other traveler. At first, nothing seemed unusual—another businessman or globe-trotter passing through one of Asia’s busiest air gateways. But when he handed over his passport, the story took a turn that continues to unsettle researchers and storytellers alike.
