supernatural
The hidden world of all things supernatural; a look inside witchcraft, spells, vexes, black magic and other spine-tingling supernatural phenomena.
Dusty Bones
A rickety worn shack swayed ominously as a malicious wind tore after it. A fevered cry from the weathered boards fell upon an old man’s ears. He paid it no mind however and continued to stare forlornly out the shattered panes into the ocean’s depths below. An internal battle raged through his mind as a lone candle flickered threateningly. “All alone… everyone’s gone… my fault.” His tattered memory danced across his lips as his ghosts relentlessly tormented him. One peering inside the shack may mistake him as a lone ghost himself, for his pale and frail bones looked skeletonized from his fever crazed state. He stands at this fractured window and stares at the sea, haunted always haunted.

Beware of What You See
Illinois Alton Mental Health Hospital is still a functioning hospital. In the early 1900s, it was an institution known for its hard mistreatment of patients, subjecting them to electroshock therapy, lobotomies, and cold water treatments. Staff, patients, and visitors report hearing strange noises like doors slamming shut and whispers. A nurse on duty heard someone ask “Who’s that?” when no one was around. Orbs have been caught on camera featuring the pained face of a human male.

Something Watches from the Tree Line...
The first sign is never what people expect. It isn’t a scream. It isn’t a shape. It isn’t even fear... The very first moment is the instant the woods stop sounding normal. Hunters, loggers, campers, soldiers; people who spend their lives outdoors, all describe it the same way. Birds go silent. Wind drops. Insects vanish as if someone flipped a switch. The forest doesn’t explode into chaos. It holds its breath... And that’s when people realize they are no longer alone in the way they thought they were.

Are ghosts real?
Out of the corner of your eye—what was that moving shadow? And what keeps going bump in the night? Many people would give a simple answer: ghosts. After all, everyone has heard a ghost story, and many claim to have had a personal brush with spirits. Yet, many others are more skeptical, stating that the idea of ghosts makes no sense. How about you? Do you believe in ghosts?
