The House of Shadows. Content Warning.
The old mansion stood perched on the outskirts of town, its towering facade casting long shadows that seemed to stretch far beyond the reach of the moonlight. Locals whispered tales of the house's dark past, claiming it was haunted by the spirits of those who had met tragic ends within its walls. Its ornate windows were said to glow with an otherworldly light on moonlit nights, and eerie whispers could be heard in the wind that swept through the overgrown garden. Few dared to venture near the house, for its mysteries were as captivating as they were chilling.

Dyatlov's expedition - nobody is alive
The fate of the Dyatlov's expedition is one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. Its members died on their way up a mountain in the Ural Mountains and their bodies had unexplained injuries which people interpreted using a number of theories. At least a partial explanation has now been provided by Swiss scientists who have created a simulation of the avalanche thanks to the film Frozen. It was this avalanche, they say, that swept away the members of the expedition.

Feathers of Friendship
In a quiet suburban neighborhood, I moved into a small cottage nestled between two houses. The first neighbor I met was an elderly woman who had recently lost her husband. Despite her grief, she took the time to bake me a welcoming pie. The crust was a little burnt, and the filling was a bit too sweet, but the gesture warmed my heart.

A Lesson in Etiquette . Top Story - June 2023.
My first neighbour was an older gentleman who had recently been widowed. Even though his wife was a long-time baker, he had still found the time and energy to bake me a welcoming cake. The icing was leaky, and the cake was dry, but the kind thought made my day.
