This attraction sent guests through a winding maze as they encountered frequent scares by special effects and actors dressed in costume.
The Haunted Castle was built to look like a crooked castle. It consisted of sixteen connected trailers with a control room in the middle. There were eight trailers on either side of the control room, and each set of eight was built almost…
Mary Bell had a rough start to life and like many killers, we can turn to their childhood to see where the trouble maybe have started. She was born on May 26th, 1957 to a very absent teen mom. Her mom was a known prostitute who very much did not want a child. Due to the nature of the mom’s work, it is not known who Mary’s biological father was.
Mary did have a stepfather who more than likely tried to kill her. There were several accounts of “accidents” carried out by the stepfather, Billy Bell, on Mary. Billy was…
Delphi is a small farming town in Indiana with under 3,000 people currently living there. In this town, people came to raise families and would leave their doors unlocked. Kids walked the streets without much supervision and everyone knew their neighbors. It was the last place you would expect the murder of Abigail Williams and Liberty German to occur.
Abigail Willaims, who went by Abby, was thirteen, and Liberty German, who went by Libby, was fourteen when they disappeared. The girls went to middle school together and quickly became best friends. They played the saxophone in the schools’ band and…

“There’s no way I can do that.”
I know, I thought that too. I began writing for Medium back in August of 2020. I decided to write for them after I saw a youtube video with a girl proclaiming that she made several thousands of dollars off of this website from only one blog. Just like I am telling you now, the girl promised that she made about 5 grand. And just like me at that time, you’re probably thinking…
“Okay, sure. They got lucky. But that won’t happen to me.”
Despite my chronic pessimism, I decided to try it…
