urban legend
Urban legends have captivated us from ancient eras to the modern day; a deep dive into scary lore and 'could be true' tales about Bigfoot, Slender Man, the Suicide Forest and beyond.
The Bauman Story
This isn’t a ghost story per se. It isn’t folklore passed down through generations. This is something President Roosevelt claimed was told to him directly by a man named Bauman. A seasoned hunter and trapper who had spent years in the unforgiving wilderness of the American frontier.

Shady Vale
The Vane Foundation’s "Resilience Zone" campaign hit the streets of Alcyone at 0800 hours. It was a saturation-level event. Digital billboards across transit hubs flickered to life, displaying high-resolution renderings of a sanitized future. The District of Rust was slated for "structural optimization." The ads featured architectural schematics of new housing blocks—monolithic, white-concrete structures. The copy was written in a precise, drafting-stencil font: Harmonic Alignment for a Stable Future. Order is our Foundation.

Booth 21. Content Warning.
Ban is an employee at Metro Courier in Ikeshima, tasked with investigating a growing urban legend. He was initially reluctant, considering that the subject matter differed from what he had written about. After interviewing a few people, Ban reviewed the information. Unfortunately, there was no consistent story, which may mean they made up their versions of Booth 21. Ban decided to do further research at the library.

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
This story takes us to the humid, shadow-drenched backroads near Bishopville, where the air hangs thick and the swamp water barely moves. A place where sound travels strangely. And where, in the summer of 1988, something emerged from the darkness that no one could explain.

Nightfox Reports: Reach Out and Touch Someone’s Mind
With my typical wide view I have spotted some more strangeness in the news as reports have been appearing across the country for the last week or two of people getting into accidents after running out into the street and attempting to attack passing cars with their bare hands or whatever improvised weapons they could grab. Several of them have been killed, struck down by the car they attacked or another vehicle streaking by. In a couple of cases people were struck by trains while apparently attack the tracks or the train cars with axes and shovels. One elderly woman was struck by a plane at Heathrow Airport as it took off. Witnesses say she was swinging at the landing gear with a garden hoe.

The Beast of Bray Road
There are roads you take to get somewhere. And then there are roads that seem to take you through the dark, mile by quiet mile, until something at the edge of your headlights makes you wish you'd chosen another route. Bray Road is one of those roads.
