A Haunting

It was known as the "Spook House." That it was tenanted by evil spirits, visible, audible and active, no one in all that region doubted any more than he doubted what he was told of Sundays by the traveling preacher. Its owner's opinion of the matter was unknown; he and his family had disappeared one night and no trace of them had ever been found.

Purgatory Swamp

Been wanting to get a big photoshoot done before I started to repurpose my corpses from Halloween 2025.  This past weekend a friend and I headed into a marsh with seven bodies, seven posts, and a lot of smoke bombs.  It was muddy and wet, and a load of fun.  

As we were going through the photos we took and watching the video at the link below, my friend said the first word that popped into her head was 'Purgatory.'  And I think that fits perfectly.  An in-between place that's silent and still.  Where danger isn't necessarily imminent, but where safety and comfort are most likely miles and miles away.

Headless Spectre

Another of Ichabod's sources of fearful pleasure was to pass long winter evenings with the old Dutch wives, as they sat spinning by the fire, with a row of apples roasting and sputtering along the hearth, and listen to their marvelous tales of ghosts and goblins, and haunted fields, and haunted brooks, and haunted bridges, and haunted houses, and particularly of the headless horseman, or Galloping Hessian of the Hollow, as they sometimes called him.

But if there was a pleasure in all this, while snugly cuddling in the chimney-corner of a chamber that was all of a ruddy glow from the crackling wood fire, and where, of course, no spectre dared to show its face, it was dearly purchased by the terrors of his subsequent walk homewards. What fearful shapes and shadows beset his path, amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night!  It was then that Ichabod recalled the most frightful portion of the wives' tales  -  that of the curs-ed fate of the Hessian's victims.  If one's head was lamentably claimed by the Horseman, their headless spectre was doomed to walk the shadowy acreage of Sleepy Hollow, perhaps forever!

Winterscape

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Trailer: Keeper

I was late seeing this one.  But since watching, I have found myself thinking about the tale and the creatures featured in it.  I know it got mixed reviews, but I found it pretty interesting, and definitely creepy.

Monster House

There are people who build cemeteries on their lawns.  And others who do walkthrough Spook Houses in their garages or basements.  Some people do a haunted trail through their backyards.  

And then there are the people who look up at their homes and imagine giant teeth and one or more eyeballs...  They're The Monster House people.

The Pennsylvania Ghoul

Documents released Friday offer new detail on how investigators assembled their striking case against Jonathan Christian Gerlach, who authorities say desecrated dozens of graves to steal human remains.

Gerlach, 34, who is charged with stealing more than 100 skulls, bones, and body parts from Mount Moriah Cemetery, also posted dozens of photos of human remains on social media, records show, and authorities are investigating whether he may have offered to sell them.
