The Phantom of the Truck Stop
The life of a long-haul trucker is a difficult one. Long, tedious hours on the road, away from family for days or even weeks at a time. As Mike L. explains, they also witness many weird and incredible things on their interstate travels. Yet Mike was not prepared for what he experienced one summer night at a tiny truck stop in the middle of nowhere... hardly the place where one would expect a ghost - if that's what it was. Read Mike's story.
| The Scariest Movies of all Time
Currently, we have two lists of "scariest movies" -- one that I put together and one that was built from reader suggestions. I have a feeling, however, that they might be out of date. So I need your help. Send me your votes for the movies that scared you the most.
| The Houdini Seance
Every October 31, from 1927 up to the present day, a séance has been conducted with hopes of contacting the spirit of Harry Houdini. So far, the great Houdini has not made his presence known. The Houdini seance has been a Halloween tradition since the first anniversary of his death. The magician died at the age of 52 on October 31, 1926 from peritonitis - an internal infection - as the result of a ruptured appendix. Read more about the Houdini séance.
