Ebeneezer Scrooge had nothing on a man named Charles Henry. Charles was miserly, and cruel. No doubt he had a long list of people who could\u2019ve been accused of wanting him dead. *** When it comes to B-movie horror, you can\u2019t do much better than the 1958 classic \u201cThe Blob\u201d. But don\u2019t believe it\u2019s just science fiction \u2013 reports have been coming for years of people in real life actually coming across some type of amorphous creatures very similar to what was originally seen on the big screen. *** The Conjuring, The Amityville Horror, Annabelle, and many other books and films have been based on Ed and Lorraine Warren and the stories they tell. But it appears they may not be as advertised. If fact, they\u2019ve been shown to be fraudulent on more than one occasion. *** Whether or not you believe in curses, luck, or fate it may be hard to explain away some of the eerie items people have had in their keeping, only to get rid of them as quickly as possible for fear of suffering more calamities. *** A woman describes her home as a child as evil \u2013 even on sunny days, the gloom would overtake her. *** In an old cemetery in North Carolina, a young girl is buried \u2013 but not in a coffin as you might expect. She was buried while submerged in a keg of rum.
