Something Scary

The holidays are officially over and we're all getting back to our old routines. But still with us from the holidays are all of the gifts and toys we may have received. Some of our presents turn into our most prized possessions. Others get buried under clutter in our closets. But many objects can take on a life of their own. And if that trinket or toy doesn't like the way it's being treated, it wi...

So many of us go into the new year with a positive attitude, hope, and lots of resolutions. We make the choice to be better human beings who are kinder to one another. But we all have our inner demons. Good intentions for a fresh start can quickly turn into laziness, resentment, and even seeking revenge for those who have wronged you. And when those inner demons are uncaged, there’s no telling the...

Tis the season for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the New Year! While we are celebrating with their family or friends, we let down our guard and enjoy the season. And it’s then, when we're not paying attention, that we're most vulnerable. We're open to evil spirits, and terrible people who take advantage of our good intentions. For those who become the victims, it won't be a happy holiday, but...

As the leaves die and fall off the trees, and the crisp, cold air sets into our bones, we know that winter is coming. The world becomes more quiet, and we bundle up in our homes. But while we're inside, evil creatures that thrive in the frigid cold come out to play. And if you're out there, too, it might be the last winter you see.  First, the lesser of two evils Followed by a deadly discovery The...

We have all had that sickening feeling in the pit of our stomachs. A feeling that tells us: you are not alone. Sometimes we come to know we're surrounded by the spirits of our loved ones. They're cheering us on from beyond the grave. But when it's not the angels, it's the demon's from beyond. Those entities that appear where they're least wanted. They lurk, they stalk, they creep. And they will be...

We all strive to have meaning and peace in our daily lives. To go through life stress free and pain free. But some of us are plagued with anxiety, pressure, and fear brought on by our day to day duties. And although some of us are tormented by our own demons, others are alarmed by entities that stalk them. Either way, there is no escape from the torcher.  First, trapped with no escape Followed by...

Thanksgiving is meant to be a time reserved for counting your blessings, expressing your thanks, and to celebrate those you call family.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, we return with one of our most popular themes: the Ghosts of War. War is a terrible thing and in the aftermath the places and people affected become scarred forever. And those who die take their experiences from the battlefield with them into the afterlife, leaving them with damage long after the fight is over.  First, collateral damage Followed by the surprise kill Then...

We've all experienced being somewhere and getting that pit in our stomach that tells us "I shouldn't be here". And we should trust our gut. Some places are filled with negative energy, dark vibes, or even worse, pure evil.

We are all born into this world, live our lives, and then die. It's something everyone of us will experience. Although we shouldn't fear death, fearing the dead is a different story.

Or is death lurking around the corner.  First, breathless and dying  Followed b...

They may be possessed by spirits, or will kill you if the circumst...
