Tales Of High Strangeness

On a humid August night in 1955, eleven people barricaded themselves inside a small farmhouse in rural Kentucky-convinced they were under siege by something not human.

What followed was nearly four hours of gunfire, glowing figures at the windows, clawed hands on the roof… and a frantic midnight dash to the police station in nearby Hopkinsville.

Four bone-cold encounters with something not quite human - the kind of stories that live in the dark between folklore and fact.

Hear from a forest patrol officer, a hunter in Oklahoma, a couple on a deserted Texas road, and one man haunted by both a shadow figure and a crawling thing in his home.

Three unsettling first-person encounters with entities beyond explanation.

• The Hood-Height Beast — a road-side sighting of a wolf-like creature that shouldn’t exist.
• The Squeaking Walker — a midnight park encounter with something that walks but doesn’t touch the ground.
• The Tiny Glider — a miniature humanoid with the scent of blood in its wake.

Each story invites you into the quiet terror of things that shouldn’t be — bu...

Four first-person encounters with demonic forces that press back on the physical world: a daycare where glass “taps” as if tested by claws; a mattress that rocks while its owner stands beside it; a voice that knows your name (and a camera that catches what the eye won’t); and a black-eared imp grinning at a bedroom threshold. These aren’t campfire exaggerations - they’re quiet, lived-in accounts of pressure, presence,...
