Here is a written account detailing my own personal experiences while living in a haunted house in Atlanta, Georgia. 

In 1987, I was living in a rented house in Atlanta, Georgia, along with four roommates.  We lived there for just over a year and during that time, we had several experiences with what we later became convinced was an actual ghostly presence.

Here is a written account detailing two experiences with unexplained phenomena that I encountered while traveling through the area known as the Bermuda Triangle

During one voyage in the summer of 1980, our vessel was transiting at night through an area in the Bahamas where we experienced some very unusual radar and compass anomalies. In a separate incident, my watch partner and I sighted what I would later describe as two "ghost rockets" that flew side by side over our ship on a west to east trajectory.  

On the afternoon of November 28, 1969, 22-year old Betsy Aardsma was stabbed to death while conducting research in the Pattee Library at Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania.  Her killer has never been caught.  In the years following her death, there have been at least two reports of a ghostly presence in the Pattee Library which many attribute to the horrible event that occurred there.

Here is a short article that I have written about the 1977 Vrillon of the Ashtar Galactic Command Incident.  "Vrillon" was the name used by an unidentified voice who performed an illegal broadcast on television transmitters in the United Kingdom on Saturday, November 26, 1977 at 5:10 p.m.

 

I have created a video and written a brief synopsis of the infamous Max Headroom pirating incident. This incident concerns the unidentified person who actually hijacked a television signal in the Chicago, Illinois area in 1987 in order to transmit an illegal "pirate" broadcast on live television.

The phenomenon of so-called "number stations," mysterious shortwave radio broadcasts that seem to exist only to transmit spoken-word numbers, snippets of weird songs and enigmatic codes, is a genuine mystery.

One of the most enduring legends of rock and roll is the old rumor that Paul McCartney of the Beatles was decapitated in a car crash at 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, 1966. Many of the "clues" to Paul's death were said to have been recorded directly into the Beatles own songs.

The fog-enshrouded castle, the crumbling family manor; old secrets unveiled, curses cast, chains clanking, the mysterious stranger, the young governess, fear and trembling, murder, madness, dread, decay, disintegration, death . . . all are trademarks of the well-crafted Gothic tale!

Labyrinth13 is proud to present: In Praise of the Gothic Novel, a celebration of all things gothic and Victorian.

Lo! 'tis a gala night within the lonesome latter years! An angel throng, bewinged, bedight in veils, and drowned in tears, sit in a theatre, to see a play of hopes and fears, while the orchestra breathes fitfully the music of the spheres.

Labyrinth13 is proud to present: A Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, featuring selected poems and videos in honor of the master of the macabre.

During the Victorian era, the use of opium and the effect that it had on the imagination of writers was quite profound.  Many of the most famous writers, poets, and artists active before and during the Romantic Movement were users of the drug, including Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Oscar Wilde.
