New World
The sun had only just fallen below the jagged rim of the shattered skyline, sending long shadows spreading across the remains of what had been Manhattan. The buildings were high and still, vacant and battered by the passage of years. It was 2145, and the world was different.

Ghost Palace Hotel Bali: Haunted History of Bedugul’s Abandoned Resort
A Monument to Corruption: The Tragic History of the Hotel Perched above the foggy highlands of Bedugul, the Ghost Palace Hotel (officially PI Bedugul Taman Rekreasi Hotel & Resort) is a decaying monument to greed, political corruption, and ghostly legend. It began in the early 1990s as a side project of Indonesia's then-authoritarian leader President Suharto's youngest son, Tommy Suharto. Thought out as a high-end retreat overlooking Lake Buyan, the hotel was showy Balinese in design: stairways lined by snakes, marble floors, and balconies with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking sensational views of volcanic peaks and rice paddy fields.

The Silent Agony: A Portrait of Resistance and Loss
In a world overrun by noise—of war, of politics, of relentless chatter on digital screens—sometimes, a photograph tells the story louder than a thousand voices. The image before us is one such visual parable. It speaks in muted tones, in earth-stained fabric and blood-drenched wool. The woman depicted does not scream, does not reach out, does not protest. Yet everything about her—the closed eyes, the tension in her brow, the soft lines of her face frozen in fatigue or final rest—screams volumes.

Names of Honor and the Tragedy in Balochistan
Balochistan’s Names of Honor and a Recent Tragedy Balochistan, a region rich in tradition and steeped in tribal values, has long upheld a cultural system that places honor—ghairat—at the core of personal and social identity. Within this code, the concept of “name” (naal) or honor (izzat) often determines an individual's reputation, familial pride, and community standing. However, the weight of this honor can, and often does, lead to tragic consequences.

Whispers in Room 313
The House With No Past It started with a Craigslist ad. Three-bedroom Victorian, dirt cheap, barely an hour outside Portland. No neighbors for a mile. The photos were grainy, but I saw the charm under the grime. I needed quiet. I needed space. I needed to disappear for a while.

The Letter I Never Sent
It was raining the day I almost told you everything. The clouds were dark and heavy, like the weight I had been carrying inside me for months. I stood by the window of the old café, fingers tracing invisible letters on the foggy glass, watching people pass by — umbrellas up, heads down. I waited for you, as I always did.

Beneath the Black Lake
They say the lake was once a village. Long before the waters rose, before the dam was built and the river redirected, a small hamlet lay nestled in a valley of pines. It had cobbled paths, stone cottages, a crooked church tower, and a single clock that struck every hour, even when the village went quiet.

The Cursed Five-Storey Mansion: Unmasking Penang's Shih Chung School Hauntings
Shih Chung Branch School's destroyed hulk rests like a shattered monument along Northam Road, George Town, Penang—a faded silhouette against steel skyscrapers, where colonial bricks are smothered by vines and shadows cling with an unnatural stubbornness. To locals who park their cars to eat dim sum at Fu Er Dai, it's a run-down eyesore. To ghost hunters and historians, it's Malaysia's most haunted site, where 130 years of glory, revolution, and unimaginable tragedy have made their indelible mark on recollections even time can't wipe away.

The Finale – The Bone-Light
The Finale – The Bone-Light They say the village of Norhill was swallowed by the forest, but the truth is far stranger. It didn’t vanish into nature — it opened up, like a mouth. And what it swallowed wasn’t just people, but memory itself.
