On the night of September 12th, 1952, eight eyewitnesses claimed to have had a run-in with a being so bizarre it not only left them in a state of shock but rocked Braxton County, West Virginia, to its very core. Though their encounter was brief, it set off a chain of events that would forever change this quintessentially quiet American town, leaving generations both frightened and fascinated by th...

History books rarely mention it, but the summer of 1952 played host to one of the most alarming UAP flaps ever recorded. While most UFO buffs are familiar with the "Washington Invasion" of late July, few know of the September incursions that carried anomalous objects over some of America's most sensitive sites. The U.S. government viewed the events as an aerial intrusion by enemies unknown—the res...

Two bizarre encounters from rural Sweden: a retired farmer watches cone shaped cyclops like figures bounce across a foggy bog, while a teenage girl comes face-to-face with silent humanoids in silver suits searching through a moving freight train.

West Virginia plays home to some of the most bizarre beasts and eccentric entities ever put to paper, but even among its outlandish ilk, there's one that stands out from the rest: the Flatwoods Monster. For all that's been written about this mechanical goliath, the story most know is only a small part of the truth. When all the surviving accounts are stitched together, what emerges is something mu...

Within the various schools of paranormal study there exist an array of biological anomalies so bizarre they strain the credulity of even the most ardent true believers. We're not talking about the kinds of creatures who startle random hikers or abduct late night stargazers; that's child's play. No, we're talking about truly bizarre beings that lurk in the inky darkness beyond the edge of the estab...

In the midst of the psychedelic 60's, a woman known only as Mrs. X had a series of increasingly outlandish encounters with objects and entities beyond reckoning. It is a case that forces us to wonder whether she was born with an innate gift… or the victim of a para-psychological curse.

Starting in the mid-1960s, an array of anomalous, semi-aquatic oddities made a massive splash in and around the beaches, lakes and waterways of the already ocean locked Florida peninsula... Was this mini-incursion merely a chance for our marine brethren to explore terra firma? Or was this the Vanguard of an attack from the true ruler's of this waterlogged orb we call home: All hail the Aquanauts!...

On this Earth there are extraordinary places; places that seem to defy logic; places so unique that its mere mention can make even the most cynical heart skip a beat. Stonehenge is one such place, and the events alleged to have occurred there in 1971 are nothing short of nightmare fuel… Our next stop on this horror-filled odyssey takes a terrified eyewitness from the bucolic backwaters of Down Und...

In the shadowy labyrinth of the paranormal, every turn feels like the turn; the one that finally breaks the case wide open. You move forward with that electric sense of impending revelation… only to slam, again and again, into dead ends. Most never get past that. But every so often, usually when it's least expected, someone makes it to the end of the corridor. And there, waiting in the dark, is so...

A quiet drive home ends with dead lights, screaming static, and a chunk of missing time. At Area X, UAPs dart across the sky, the forest throws rocks back, voices echo yours, and a black shape steps from the shadows.

After shattering a once-pragmatic journalist's grip on reality with a mind-bending tour through good and evil, magic and consciousness, UAPs, psychic powers, soul extraction, and the confounding five-tiered architecture of reality, the saurian siren changed course. Leaving the metaphysical maelstrom behind, Lacerta turned to the nuts and bolts of ufology; legendary crashes, controversial UFO photo...

Though he couldn't tell whether it was a government agency or some shadow-drenched cabal, journalist Ole K. became certain of one thing: he was being watched. After a string of nerve-shredding, too-close encounters with whoever, or whatever, was tailing him, Ole managed to secure a second meeting with Lacerta. This time, the enigmatic saurian didn't just dip into ancient history. She dove headfirs...

Questions and answers flew fast and furious between the once skeptical reporter and the exotic entity sitting across from him. With each new exchange, they forged a deeper understanding of our species shared history, but—fascinating though the ties that bound us may have been—it would be the revelation of the existence of a group of "others" that filled the room with dread. The reason why? These o...

In 1999, a Swedish journalist and UFO debunker prepared for the strangest interview of his career. In an empty room, he watched as the door opened and a strikingly beautiful woman entered. She told him that she was there to reveal the truth of humanity's origins and our place in the cosmic hierarchy. The reporter had spoken with others making similarly outlandish claims but the key difference here...

In the 1930s, a horrific cave in nearly took the life of a Soviet prisoner. Having barely survived the ordeal, little could this man have imagined that destiny would lead him into an icy mausoleum filled frozen nightmares before sending him on a collision course with one of paranormal lore's darkest of denizens.

For some the intersection between folklore and real world is cut and dry; one is fact, the other fantasy. But those who've peered through the cracks in consensus reality know the truth; our world exists at a crossroads between the seen and unseen; the known and the unfathomable; and that, when we least expect it, these realities can come crashing together in ways that shatter our perceptions… and...

There are places where trauma—both physical and metaphysical—festers like a cancer; corrupting the soil, sinking into the dark earth with tendrils born of violence and fear; venomous, black roots that sink so deeply into the land that time itself seems unwilling to move on. Bracken County, Kentucky is one such place. A nexus where the history is rich, the land is bloody, and—if witnesses are to be...
