THE GHOST IN MY MACHINE Stories of the Strange and Unusual. Previously: The Nickelodeon Clock Man Mystery." As was the case for many middle-class kids growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it was Big News in my childhood home when we got our first camcorder. 15 CREEPY PHONE NUMBERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK IN 2021 1-877-77-CREEP. 1-877-77-CREEP — or, 1-877-772-7377, for easy dialing — is perhaps the least mysterious of this crop of spooky phone numbers, mostly because we know exactly who created it and why: It belongs to horror-themed apparel and merch company Creepy Co., and

they made it

UNRESOLVED: MASHA, THE MISSING GIRL IN THE ODESSA CATACOMBS So, what are they, exactly? Complicated, is what. The vast majority of the tunnels grew as a result of stone mining: They’re essentially quarries from which limestone and coquina were extracted for use as building materials — that is, the catacombs exist largely as a side effect of the construction of Odessa as a whole. But in addition to the quarry-tunnels, other features, both geological ABANDONED: WINDERBOURNE MANSION, BOYDS, MARYLAND A trashed room inside Winderbourne Mansion in 2020. in 2020.

The grave is unmarked; it’s owned by Ireland’s public health services board, and is intended to house the remains of up to three people who remain unclaimed after their deaths.

Here’s one I’ve been thinking about for a while: Ma Lon, a Vietnamese ghost game that entails summoning a spirit into an empty can, then running away from the possessed can as it tries to chase you. Indeed, the phrase “ma lon” translates to something like 16 RITUAL GAMES THAT TRANSPORT YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD The Black Telephone Game. Like so many of the Japanese ritual games that purportedly bring you to another world, the Black Telephone Game can be found in an early form on 2ch/5ch, where it was posted in December of 2008.By tying a piece of black cord to the handset of a black rotary telephone and performing a complex dialing procedure — one that involves traveling several rooms away from THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES: PURPLE HEARTS I had never heard of the ritual game Purple Hearts until it showed up in my search analytics recently.

What separates it from Doors Of Your Mind, however, is that, rather than a meditation game, it seems to be more of a hypnosis one.

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES: THE LITTLE PIGGY GAME Well, the ritual game called the Little Piggy Game is not that, although it may be related to it in some way. Rather, it’s a summoning ritual; it’s meant to bring forth the spirits of several children to whom you may pose five questions — one for each toe (the “piggies”).

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES: HOW TO GO TO ANOTHER WORLD USING Would it surprise you to know that there’s a ritual game that teaches you how to go to another world using a bathroom? A “Bathroom To Another World” ritual game, to use the parlance? My guess is that it probably wouldn’t; after all, we’ve previously looked at ways to go to another world using elevators, staircases, and just writing a few choice words on a piece of paper. THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES: THE HOSTING GAME The Most Dangerous Games: The Hosting Game. Previously: The Mirror Box. Parties are fun — as long as you don’t have uninvited guests. “The Hosting Game” also goes by the name “Don’t Look Back” for reasons that will become apparent as you read onward. As always, play at your own risk. WHAT HAPPENED TO 1-800-GOLF-TIP? THE EXCEEDINGLY STRANGE When you called the toll-free phone number 1-800-GOLF-TIP, or 1-800-465-3847, in Canada in the 1990s, you didn’t reach a golfing hotline, as you might have expected from the name of the number or from the billboard in St. Catharines that advertised it. Instead, you heard a strange recording of a man counting from one to 10. But when you dig into the full history of 1-800-GOLF-TIP, you find a THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES: 11 MILES But although it might be clearly made up, 11 Miles also follows a longstanding tradition of journeys in folklore, legend, and mythology: Journeys to get your heart’s desire; journeys to return home; journeys to get your heart’s desire that result in returning home because you didn’t realize that returning home was what you wanted
