8 Cursed Objects Still Haunting the World Today
Sometimes people leave behind memories, legacies, and occasionally… nightmare-fuel objects that ruin lives. You’d think that if something brings disaster, illness, hauntings, or death, humans would immediately destroy it.

The Unlikeliest of Places to Encounter the Paranormal. Top Story - December 2025.
When we think of haunted places, the first thing that might come to mind is an old cemetery with centuries old gravestones, the words long faded to decipher.

The Body Exchange Ritual
At night, the only light leaking from the windows of Mr. Bedri’s mansion was the dim lamp of his study. He felt the weight of his ninety-five years in his bones, in the muscles that had softened like rotting apples. The reflection in the mirror was repulsive: sunken cheeks, sagging skin, cloudy eyes.

Ghost Hunting in Your Pocket: The Coolest Apps for Amateur Paranormal Adventures. Content Warning.
Do you ever watch those creepy ghost-hunting shows on TV? I have to admit, I can watch them, but only because they really creep me out. There’s something fascinating about haunted places, especially castles, with their mysterious aura and dark history. But let’s be honest: ghost hunters are often asking for trouble. I’m no paranormal expert, but if I know a place is haunted, I’m getting the heck out of there. Some of you might feel differently, or even dream of becoming ghost hunters yourselves, and if that’s the case, here’s the good news: all you really need now is your smartphone.

60 Days in a Haunted Lighthouse? One Man’s Insane, or Brave, Adventure
If you’ve seen any of my ghost videos, you know I have a very clear policy: haunted places are not my thing. I wouldn’t step foot in one unless it’s broad daylight, I’m in a group of at least 50 people, there are absolutely no kids, and maybe, just maybe, I’m carrying a battering ram and a chainsaw. Why the chainsaw, you ask? Well, in every horror movie ever, ghosts have a habit of locking people in, and apparently, doors just refuse to break down when there’s a spirit involved.

THE FIVE DOORS THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN OPENED
~By Caelum, Night Archivist of the Veil~ Most cops think the worst thing you can find at a crime scene is blood. They’re wrong... The worst thing is a question. A question with teeth. A question that refuses to let you sleep. Some cases don’t end when you file the report. They stay with you. They lean over your bed at night. They breathe behind you in empty rooms.

On land, the food chain doesn’t end with claws. It ends with decisions. Apex mammals don’t just kill because they’re hungry. They kill to defend territory. To establish dominance. To teach and too send a message.

The Last Transmission from Flight 729
By Abdul Hadi The Last Transmission from Flight 729 No one expected Flight 729 to become a ghost story. It was a routine commercial flight—Miami to San Juan, full of families beginning vacations, couples taking anniversary trips, and a quiet pilot named Captain Elias Ward who had flown the route over a thousand times. Weather forecast: clear enough. Nothing unusual.

The Last Message
It was 2:14 a.m. when Ayan’s phone vibrated under his pillow. At first, he ignored it. Nights had become heavy for him—hours spent staring at the ceiling, trying to drown memories that refused to fade. Memories of her. The way she laughed with her whole face, the way she always warmed her hands on a cup of chai before drinking, the way she said his name as if it carried some hidden softness only she could hear.
