Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 5
Sadie was a very sweet, bubbly young woman. When she graduated high school and made it to college, all she wanted was to be a sorority girl. Her mother had gone to the same school and was a sorority girl in her day, and Sadie wanted to be just like her. Her first day on campus, Sadie pledged to become a new Sister of her mother's old sorority, Theta Nu. What Sadie hadn't realized was Theta Nu had changed significantly since her mother was a student. Several rumors had been circulating for almost a decade about the cruel and unusual initiations Theta Nu put their pledges through, however none of them could be substantiated.

The Magic Shoes
Miller Middle School was known for one common thing, sports. Pretty well every student played a sport at that school. The most popular sport was by far soccer. The school often had rallies to support all the sports teams. There were incentives to play on the teams such as free meals, movie tickets, and free equipment.

Halloween Visit
"Come on, Dad, let's go!" Lily stomped a slipper-clad foot on the sidewalk as she looked back at her father. She was ready to go trick or treating, and it seemed that nothing but Josh could keep her from her sweet treats. He was sitting on the front steps of his childhood home, a well-loved cul-da-sac teaming with costumed children. The moon hung overhead, a ghostly sickle that presided over this Halloween night. The children laughed and screamed as they stalked by, the street a sea of superheroes, video game characters, colorful animals, and everything in between.

The History & Haunting of The Myrtles
The Myrtles Home & Former Plantation Deep in the heart of St. Francisville, Louisiana, lies one of the most haunted homes in the United States—The Myrtles. The former plantation and home were built in 1796 by General David Bradford. In the early 1800s, it was common to find plantations along the Mississippi, and The Myrtles was one of them. For some, plantations were a significant source of income. They produced a supply of cash crops at the expense of those enslaved. Tragically, plantations were also a place of death and despair for many others. It's a dark chapter in American history, filled with brutality and inhumane conditions.

El Silbón of Los Llanos in South America
Pronunciation & Spelling El Silbón. It means “the whistler” in Spanish. The best way to learn how to pronounce a word is to listen to a native speaker say it. Thankfully, one of my go-to websites for this, Forvo.com, has a native speaker (ConchitaCastillo) who has graciously recorded herself saying the word. You can listen to the recording for the pronunciation of El Silbón right here: How to pronounce silbón.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 4
There was once a man driving home on a quiet, rainy night. He'd had a long, hard day, and was utterly exhausted. It was all he could do to keep his eyes open and maintain his lane. Luckily there weren't many other cars around due to the lateness of the hour, otherwise his constant nodding off at the wheel could have had disasterous results. The rain fell more heavily as he came to a four-way stop. His usual route was blocked by a fallen tree, leaving him no choice but to take the scenic route through a network of back roads.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 3
Many years ago, there was an old woman who lived in a secluded wood. Rumor had it that this woman was a witch, but honestly no one really knew for sure. She did have a very uncanny sense of intuition, however; if someone lost a head of cattle in the night, the old woman knew who had taken them. If a person had gone missing, she would tell their family exactly where they could be found. No one knew how she knew these things, but she was rarely if ever wrong. She brewed tinctures and poltices as well for the locals, to cure everything from rheumatism to the common cold. The legend was that all she asked in payment for her services was a dollar for herself, and a dime for her blind old coon dog.

Appalachian Grandpa The Bone Collector Prologue
"I almost expected I would see him again tonight." I looked at Grandpa, Glimmer's hand very warm in mine, as we walked back to the house. Grandpa had noticed, but if he felt anything about it, he didn't voice it. Glimmer, for her part, had explained that she simply didn't want me getting lost, so she thought she might help me get home.
