Halloween Nightmares
Every year, when the leaves turn and the porch lights flicker on, we trade costumes for case files. True stories that sound like something whispered around a campfire, except every one of them happened. Graves that didn’t stay closed. Monsters that frightened whole towns into doing the unthinkable. And the holiday itself, turned into something no one would ever celebrate the same way again.
Some of these cases gave rise to the legends you grew up with. Others are the reason those legends never quite went away. All month, we’ll separate the folklore from the record, and you may find the record is the more frightening of the two.
Found Alive
Last month, Tales From the Underworld brought you an assortment of stories involving people who were missing and/or presumed dead, only to resurface (sometimes years later). From abducted children to people faking their own death, these cases remind us that perception is not always reality.
Here are some of the cases that gripped our readers:
What’s Coming
October is a month for stories that stay with you after the lights go out, and we have a new one landing every week. Every case is researched and written by a real person, and we pay every one of our writers for their work. None of this happens without readers like you. If you want the whole story, every exclusive section and every case, all month long, become a paid supporter and step inside with us.
Thanks for reading, for sharing, and for caring about these stories the way we do. Lock your doors this month.
