The Olive Wilkins Case: Woman Who Haunted Her Home

The bizarre case of Olive Wilkins flipped that script entirely when an entire household found itself terrorized by a phantom who was still breathing, walking, and sitting right at the dinner table. What unfolded was not...

The Runcorn Poltergeist: 1952’s Flying Furniture Mystery
In late August 1952, an ordinary terraced house in northern England became the center of an impossible physical disturbance.

The Dublin Poltergeist: Ireland’s Chatty 1914 Ghost
Most classic haunted house stories feature chilling moans, rattling chains, or phantom footsteps in the dead of night. Dublin had something far weirder: a ghost who simply refused to keep his mouth shut. Meet Corney, an opinionated entity who spent years interrupting family chats right from a basement coal bin. When your townhouse comes with...

In February 1695, a humble tenant farm named Ring-Croft of Stocking in Rerrick, southwest Scotland, turned into ground zero for a prolonged supernatural siege.

The chaos made Andrew Mackie’s home the epicenter of one of the most meticulously documented...

Granite Creek Poltergeist: Australia’s 1935 Ghost Case
A ghost that throws plates is annoying. A ghost that sets your cabin on fire and knocks a teenager unconscious is something else entirely.

A Quarter of a Century Later
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11, I reflect on being five years old and watching the attacks from a green shag carpet in Winnipeg, the cultural aftershocks that still echo through media and memory, and the urgent need to not forget the cruelty and the kindness of that day and its aftermath.
