For centuries an aristocratic Scottish family were said to hide a terrible secret; one that gave rise to rumors of a quasi-humanoid creature kept hidden from the world within the crumbling stone walls of the highland castle they called home; a diabolical descendant who’s appearance—thanks to a witch’s odious spell—was so distressing; so damnably revolting that it was dubbed the “Monster of Glamis”.

In what has to be one of the strangest sagas in paranormal lore, a star-crossed British family endured a maelstrom of moist mayhem when, in 1933, they became the victims of what was referred to as a “water ghost” but which modern supernatural scholars have re-branded a “hydro-geist”. This wet wraith’s reign of terror lasted for 6-months and left both paranormal historians and the soaked survivors perplexed as to why it had chosen t...

Across time, space and the infinite bandwidth of consciousness itself, individuals from all walks of life are clashing with a nefarious breed of etheric arthropods that feed not on flesh and blood but psychic energy; leaving their victims a hollow shell of their former selves and exposing a thus far hidden—and for many horrific—realm of reality.

Anyone who’s served in a time of armed conflict knows that few things can compare to the chaos, confusion and constant fear of war. The stress that puts on a human being is tremendous and, for many, debilitating. But, for an even unluckier few, these already anxiety inducing situations were made all the worse by the addition of aggressive eight-legged atrocities who were as eager to kill as their enemies at the front.

For many the sight of a spider of any size is enough to trigger an anxiety attack, but—lurking in some of the most remote pockets of the world (and sometimes far too close to home)—are an array of enigmatic arthropods; massive monstrosities so aggressive, so utterly terrifying that they’d make even the most ardent spider lover’s blood run cold.

Reactions to spiders can range from fear to fascination but, for an unlucky few, encounters with these surreal spider-like anomalies can not only strike terror, but leave those involved question not only their memories, but the very nature of reality.

On the cusp of the 20th century,  a group of horrified Hoosiers claimed to have encountered something utterly unexpected lurking in the murky, mud-filled depths of the paranormally plagued Ohio River; a group of vicious, quasi-reptilian humanoids that locals swiftly christened: “Mud Mermaids”.

In the 1990’s, a military doctor found himself serving in one of the most remote outposts on Earth: McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It would be during his 11-month stint that the doctor’s worldview would be shattered by a stupefying series of disclosures involving colossal kaiju, international intrigue, mad science, black budget genetic atrocities, archaic abominations and—as if it could get any worse—an army of mutated man-spiders wi...

To some, Antarctica is a pristine, windswept landscape filled with austere beauty. For others—especially those unlucky enough to stumble across its indigenous inhabitants—the continent at the bottom of the world is a frigid, Lovecraftian hellscape filled with baffling behemoths and flesh eating fiends so malefic they defy the imagination.

In what has got to be one of the most bats**t crazy paranormal encounters on the books, a woman was relaxing in her Northern California home when she claimed to have encountered a bevy of increasingly bizarre beings, all of which coalesced into a whirlpool of metaphysical madness representing what may well be one of the last great paranormal vortexes in the United States.

In the decades preceding the 20th century, the murky depths of the lakes, rivers and swamps of Australia and New Zealand seemed to be infested with an array of abysmal—and extremely aggressive—unknown animals; moist monstrosities which have forever etched themselves on the global psyche.

On an impulsive excursion into the Mexican wilds, three teenagers would confront not only deadly snakes and the ominous prospect of being lost in the woods after dark, but something much more insidious; an armada of UAP and a small army of glow-in-the-dark entities who seemed hellbent on bringing them down.

A Kentucky man spots a terrifying “Glimmer Man” near a lake rumored to hide a monster. In rural Illinois, a childhood game is interrupted by a grotesque, clawed creature that vanishes into thin air.

In the mid-60s, an Oregon family was thrust into a supernatural gauntlet involving UAPs, dazzling indoor light shows, cycloptic beasts, dancing aliens, a smoking dome, possible poltergeist, an ominous (and evidently bulletproof) shadow stalker and—to cap it all off—a pack of spider-like tree stumps roaming the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. In fact, this onslaught of metaphysical mayhem got so intense that it sent this poor family...

In 1986, a boy named Greg endured a night of hellish torment at the hands of a sinister, giggling shadow child, who—while under the watchful eye of its pernicious parent—tortured its human counterpart in what was evidently a diabolical twist on the time honored tradition of “bring your kid to work day”.

In the mid-50s a pair of Finnish brothers had a terrifying, all too close encounter with a speeding saucer. While the boys were both scared by this near miss, for one of them—Osmo Liene — his ordeal was just beginning as just days later, at the stroke of midnight, a trio of aged aliens would invade his home to interrogate him... and reveal something that no one should ever know.

In most children, the dread of bedtime stems from equal combination of FOMO and a fear of the dark. But for some kids, and even a few you adults, that fear is founded on all too real experiences with anomalous and sometimes highly aggressive entities that’s prove—beyond the shadow of a doubt—that humankind’s millennia long fear of the dark is not unfounded.
