GATEWAY 
TO HELL

In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky during the month of October, I am  starting a series about strange conspiracy theories and legends that exist 'til this day. Or, at least, are said to exist 'til this day.

While it felt a little early to jump into Halloween-centered legends last week, this week we will inch closer to the holiday with the tale of a small town's secret staircase to Hell. ​

In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky during the month of October, I am (probably) going to start a series about strange conspiracy theories and legends that exist 'til this day.

4 MORE INSANE CURES
​FOR INSANITY

I reviewed some drafts of Ashland's Asylum as well as an older post called 6 Insane Cures for Insanity.

As always, feel free to let me know if one of these treatments deserves to be in the novel. 

STRANGE SOLAR ECLIPSE
​FACTS & MYTHS

Rare and fascinating to many, solar eclipses have a way to get people talking. Today, countless news articles encourage us to step outside and watch the eclipse (while wearing protective eye wear, of course). Back in ancient times, solar eclipses either brought discovery or fear.  Below you will find a mix of discoveries & myths birthed during solar eclipses. ​

​5 DEADLY EVERYDAY WEAPONS
USED IN DESPERATION

At the end of last month, I reviewed 5 of the deadliest makeshift weapons I came across. However, I felt I dwelled too much on prison-escape weapons and not enough on the everyday items people have used in the desperate name of survival.  For the most part, this entry is that: 5 Deadly Everyday Weapons Used in Desperation.
