The following written confession was shared via Reddit: It first happened when I was 4 years old. I had a very strange dream where I saw a very tall (around 6'5) creature. Its skin was pinkish brown, it had bulging eyes, a red round nose and triangular teeth in its wide mouth. The creature was smiling, and its smile reminds me of what people now call 'the uncanny valley', both sadistic and happy….

The following written confession was shared via Reddit: In 2017, I was in Northern Ireland for a college field trip. My religious studies class was visiting stone circles throughout N. Ireland and Ireland to focus on religious geography. On this particular day, I think we were visiting the Beaghmore Stone circles. It was a normal cloudy day and we were enjoying learning the history of the bronze age wonder… I decided to climb over the small farm wire fence and see if there was anything interesting in the woods…

The following written confession was submitted via email: This happened in late summer / early fall of 2009, in central Utah. At the time, my father and I had been getting into caving. There was a cave system in central Utah which we had been exploring every week or other week for several months. We would bring different groups and lead them through these caves. It was a lot of fun. One day, we decided to go out, but for whatever reason, chose to go at night…

It’s National Toast Day, so fire up the haunted toaster! The last Thursday in February is a day to celebrate toast, for some reason. So we’re dusting off this gem of an interview from 1984, featuring a one-of-a-kind haunted toaster! The unassuming appliance allegedly terrorized its owner by speaking satanic messages and burning her bread to a crisp. What could possess a toaster to commit such evil deeds? Well, the Devil, apparently. And nothing thaws a frozen waffle quite like scorching hellfire.

The following written confession was shared via Reddit: This is a real experience that happened to me when I was around ten, camping with my family at a provincial park in Newfoundland, Canada in the mid-1980s. In Newfoundland there is a lot of traditional folklore about fairies and being "fairy-led" - i.e. being sort of mesmerized and stolen away by the fairies - and although I've never really believed in that stuff, whenever I hear those tales I can't help but think about this experience.

Creature Feature Friday: the Bunyip! Originating in Aboriginal legend, the Bunyip is a water cryptid native to Australia. It can be found (if it exists, that is) in swamps, creeks, rivers, billabongs, and waterholes, where it bides its time until it can kill anyone who wanders too close to the water’s edge. Livestock, women, and children are its favorite selections to eat in the dark of night…

The following written confession was submitted via email: …One evening we were hanging out at our grandmas waiting for my mom to get home from work. We were playing a board game on the dining table and I looked outside towards our trailer and I saw our lights on in the trailer and I was like, "oh mom is home." I clearly could see the lights on because it was towards the evening. So my siblings and I told grandma that we were going home, so we started walking and we got to the dirt driveway of our home and I noticed the lights were off and nothing in the driveway, no car…

The following written confession was shared via Buzzfeed: I was a kid sleeping in my brother's room while mine was getting painted. His closet doors were mirrors, and when I woke up in the night I saw the silhouette of a girl staring at her reflection while on the edge of my bed. Her hair was pulled back, she wore a cream shirt and a long pink skirt, and looked like she was made of TV static….

A note from Tony on the creation on THE GREAT RE:SET | ORDER OUT OF CHAOS: While watching videos on 'The Great Reset' that were published by the World Economic Forum, I saw a video that caught my eye. In it, the video took the word "reset" and put a colon between the letters "re" and "set," which I found an interesting choice… That's when I took a deeper look into the ancient Egyptian gods called Re and Set, and what I found blew my mind…

The following written confession was shared online: On Christmas Eve night, 1978 at about 3:00 a.m. in Klamath Falls, Oregon, I was suddenly awakened by a choir singing. The house was new construction, miles from the nearest church. I strained to hear any words that I could understand or a tune that I could identify, but I could not understand the language or tune….
