What makes Chuck E. Cheese so disturbing? Is it the food? the fact that it's mascot is a rat? Or is it that in the most derelict and cursed locations of this family dining establishment there may exist a portal to a paranormal realm known as The Backrooms.

Grave robbing is one of mankind's oldest professions. It's like taking candy from a baby, if the baby was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and the candy was all the cool sh*t they were buried with. But 33 years ago, a team of Italian archeologists dug up a little more than they could handle. They discovered a hidden necropolis, where those who were buried inside had been NAILED to the earth.

Camping is an inherently paranormal experience: sleeping in the wilderness, navigating the pitch black of night, pooping without access to a toilet let alone a bidet. But your camping experience could be ten times more paranormal if you are unlucky enough to encounter a Not Deer. Not Deer are a disturbing creature native to Appalachia, which look just like a deer but behave in a horrible unnatural way which cement it's status as a paranormal cryptid.

Walking home from the pub late at night can be treacherous - dark alleys, sketchy characters, and the Golden Arches of maccie d's all loom threateningly.
