    "A loud neigh startles you, and you are met with a harrowing site...a pitch black carriage and its horses are quickly approaching. Worse yet, you notice something frighteningly off about the driver - the lack of a head."

    Tales of the Headless Horseman of Roos Hall are a popular Christmastime story. This week, let's take a look into what may have created the eerie story we hear today!

    11: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary - Pt. 2
    Nov 27 2024
    Welcome back for part two, where we discuss the events around Edgar Allan Poe's burial and the conspiracy his cenotaph caused, as well as the hauntings surrounding his burial site and former residence. (And the possibility that some ghostly Poe sightings may just be used to drive business.)

    10: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary - Pt. 1
    Nov 20 2024
    Entering the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum allows you to take a glimpse back in time into the famous poets life. But as the brick facade, aged white walls, and portraits begin to settle, a creeping and unsettling air slowly fills the rooms. Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and poems are guaranteed to put a deep chill into your bones, so it is no wonder that visitors occasionally pick up on something eerie going on at his former residence. Something perhaps not of this realm. But before we get to the ghosts, we first need to take a look into the life of Edgar Allan Poe...

    9: Demons or Dating Game?
    Nov 13 2024
    What started as a simple party game or parlor trick (and was advertised as a fun activity for couples) would turn into something dark and demonic after the success of The Exorcist. Let's take a look into the history of the Ouija board, and how attitudes have managed to shift so much over time...

    8: Awaking Evil
    Nov 6 2024
    "According to local legend, the unassuming William was actually a vampire who had been run out of England and fled to the states. You can supposedly see proof of this on his own mausoleum, which features strange markings, which pointed to the occult...and thus, his vampiric status."

    The Richmond Vampire is famous among locals, and has been tied to a fateful train tunnel collapse from the early 1900s. Many believe that the digging of this tunnel awoke this evil creature...
