Hodag of American Folklore
American folklore is full of strange creatures, myths, and ghosts. Like other parts of the world, many local legends from towns in America go mostly unheard of unless you're looking for them. A small city called Rhinelander, in upper Wisconsin, is one of those places. It's home to a creature known as the "hodag."

So apparenetely there is a website where the figure actually listens to your microphone and answers the questions you ask. Initially, I thought it was some kind of joke, so I decided to ask it a silly question. But then I got an answer.

Russian Sleep Experiment
The Russian Sleep Experiment was a notorious study conducted by Soviet scientists in the late 1940s. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation on human subjects. The scientists believed that if they could keep their subjects awake for long periods of time, they could increase their productivity and improve the efficiency of their workforce.

Hooded dude
Back in 2013, I had just begun my education, and after the first school period, I needed to go out and find an internship in order to progress, but it proved to be nearly impossible to find one at the time, so I decided to take another job just to make sure we had food on the table.

I collect corpses. One of them woke up.
I know most people find it disturbing, but someone has to do it. I collect dead bodies. It's something I do every day, and it almost never changes. My colleague gets to the scene first, to do all the prep work. I turn up a while later to transport them where they need to be. Not many people know about what I do, but my lack of conversation about it is not out of shame. I am proud of it, and I simply don't want people to view me any differently.
