Ghosts of the Patch

🎃 Welcome lil' Pumpkins!! 🎃 "Come in, take a seat. Would you like a tea? Or a coffee?" A dark figure sits at the opposite end of long table, which never seems to have an end. Each setting holds a plate and a bowl, some cutlery on either sides. Too many to count. Remaining completely still, it's voice is deep and growly. As if the wolves could speak. The air around the room is dry, the space is pitch black and yet it feels so terribly empty. A sinking feeling sets in. Fixated on it now, the shadow at the very end of the table. Silent as though hundreds of painful screams are ringing, a sinister smile pulls across the hooded face. Ripping at its own dark flesh, white teeth all in a crooked row.

The doll in Captain Grant’s House - This doll is actually a sand filled weight used as a door stop in the Adelaide Room. It has a strange habit of disappearing and then showing up in the weirdest spots around the inn. Other objects in this room have done the same, including a bottle of window cleaner that went missing in the blink of an eye and then turned up weeks later.

In the 1976 adaptation of Carrie, Brian De Palma based Carrie’s posture and walk at the end of the film after Gustave Moreau’s 1851 painting The Study of Lady Macbeth.

Ospreys have a very unique hunting structure, it’s really cool. Every other fishing raptor will skim the surface, snagging a fish off the top. An osprey folds it’s wings and dives into the water. They grip their fish with huge, zygodactyl feet like an owl.

They’re the only non-owl raptor with these feet.

Sometimes they snag a fish too big and they can’t release their grip. These birds are unfortunately dragged under to a watery grave.

Cynthia Anderson 

Cynthia Anderson worked as legal secretary in Toledo, Ohio, sometimes passing the time in her office by reading suspense or romance novels. In 1980, the 20-year-old told her mother that she had been having a recurring dream about allowing someone into her house who meant her harm. At work, she received harassing phone calls to the point her employers—lawyers Jim Rabbit and Jay Feldstein—had an emergency buzzer installed at her desk. When Rabbit arrived at their office the morning of August 4, 1981, they expected to find Anderson behind her desk. Instead, the front door was locked, and Anderson was nowhere to be found. The novel she had been reading was open to a passage describing a violent abduction. Her car was still in the lot.

A month later, a mysterious phone call came into police headquarters. A woman insisted Anderson was being held in a basement but wouldn’t give any specifics. She called a second time to tell police the house was occupied, but never contacted them again. Some theorize Anderson may have heard incriminating conversations involving a drug dealer who became concerned that she knew too much. To date, no one has been charged in connection with her disappearance.

The Boy in the Box 

In 1957, the body of a small boy with blonde hair and blue eyes was found inside of a box in a vacant lot in Philadelphia. The boy was between 5 and 7 years old, and he was stuffed inside of a box used for a baby bassinet. He was naked, his hair had been recently cut, and he had several markings on his body, including several blows to the head. Images of his face circulated throughout the country in an attempt to find his true identity, and people with missing children from 10 different states came to visit the body, but no one ever came forward to claim him.

This case is so open-ended, there are several theories about his death, and potential leads. Some people believe that the child died from a tragic accident, and the parents disposed of their son’s body so they would not get in trouble.

Another theory come from a woman who claimed that the boy was adopted by an abusive foster mother who paid his biological parents to purchase him, and that she abused and killed her adopted son while she was giving him a bath. She disposed of him in the box from the bassinet she purchased for one of the other foster kids. While this sounds like the most convincing theory, there is not enough evidence to prove this, and there are several ideas floating out there as to what actually occurred.
