Doveland, Wisconsin brings a whole new meaning to the term "ghost town." 👻

Officially, it doesn’t exist. But some swear they’ve been there, lived there, or even have souvenirs to prove it.

It supposedly vanished in the '90s, leaving no trace on maps or records.

Some say it’s just a myth while others believe it's a government cover-up.

Time for some late night haunted history! 🌙

Once home to thriving Indigenous tribes, South Carolina's Congaree Swamp holds centuries of mystery.

Legends tell of will-o’-the-wisps, glowing lights that lured travelers astray, and ghostly figures of Native tribes living as they once did.

Cries of lost souls echo through the trees... who could they be?

Annabelle's first known appearance was in 1970 when a nursing student named Donna received her as a gift. 🎁

However, the doll soon became the center of disturbing activity, including an alleged attack on Donna’s friend.

The Warrens intervened, identifying a malevolent presence and sealing Annabelle in their Occult Museum.

But she’s now traveling the country on display and reports of chaos have followed—especially in New Orleans...

Do you believe Annabelle is cursed or is it all a coincidence? 🤔

🎃 It’s not Halfway 2 Halloween without revisiting a true horror classic.

Wes Craven’s 1984 slasher film, "Nightmare on Elm Street" was partly inspired by a tragic real event.

In the 1970s, a boy who fled Cambodia’s Killing Fields died in his sleep after days of nightmares.

Was it a lingering trauma made real—or a mysterious sleep disorder?
