I'm really excited for the "Local Legends" expansion book for City of Mist! I love getting to see new characters and finally be able to get all the different districts in one bundle (I was thankfully made aware of the book before its Kickstarter launch so I didn't end up buying each district individually). 8 one-shots in one book!!

It should also help me develop my own cases in the hypothetical scenario I can ever find a group to run it for. So many ideas, no way to execute :'(

Stephen's Grave, Peter Tavy.

This grave marks the resting place of George Stephens, who passed away during the late 1700s. His death is shrouded in varying accounts of the reasons behind his decision to take his own life (depending which local you ask, you'll get a slight variation!). The story I've known since childhood recounts his love for a local woman, that was met with her parent's opposition. In a fit of depression and anger he consumed deadly nightshade, putting an end to his life.

The grave itself consists of two granite parts: the original standing stone marker, and a triangular plinth that was added in the 1930s, for the purpose of preserving the site.

Trigger Warning— Incest & Sexual Assault Mention

So Wes Craven’s 1977 horror movie was inspired by a potentially true story of a family of incestuous cannibals that supposedly lived in the Scottish countryside. Which is kinda yikes cause it sounds almost plausible.

The main difference between the two is that Craven’s movie is set in the S. Western desert of the US in New Mexico, I think. The film was remade, however, in 2006 and popularized shock value in horror movies. In fact, critics called it the most shocking movie of that year.

In the remake, the disabilities and deformities the cannibals suffer from are the results of the testing of nuclear bombs by the US government. The director, Alexandre Aje, said they based the characters’ appearances off of photos of people who suffered from radiation poisoning cause by the bombing of Hiroshima. These are the trailers for the both films (original and remake).

Just heads up in case you decide to watch this movie, it does feature animal death on top of the other stuff mentioned. Its a legitimately frightening movie but also extremely triggering for some people and just all around a fucked up story.

Mirror, Mirror, Stole My Soul!

Hey there! It's been a while since my last post so I wanted to share a few things with you guys. As many of you know I recently moved to Amity Park and have been hard at work getting to know more about the local legends and history of not only the town, but also my new high school. It's called Casper High, which is ironic since we deal with a lot of not-so-friendly ghosts here...

Now I know not everyone believes in ghosts, but even if you don't I hope you learn something interesting today about a couple of myths about mirrors, photographs, and self-portrait paintings.

It's hard to tell when it all started, but in general all three of these share one thing in common, which is the belief that sometimes they can steal your soul or at least a fragment of it. Just like shadows in some cultures, our reflections are believed to be, well, a literal reflection of our souls. That's why vampires and demons in mythology don't have a reflection, it's because they don't have a soul.

Anyways, before I get too off topic since I'd like to talk about how ghosts in photographs and paintings have some cool stories behind them too, let's get back to the subject of mirrors specifically. So one of the ghost stories at my school is about a cursed locker and a mirror that was once inside it. Both belonged to a kid back in the fifties named Sidney Pointexter. Sadly I haven't been able to find out much about him like where he lived, who his parents were, or any of that but from what I've been told the poor guy was bullied by basically the entire school.

From what I can tell Sidney left Amity Park as soon as he graduated and lived out the rest of his life somewhere else. But here's where things get complicated. According to a couple people I interviewed he was in such a hurry to get out of dodge after being humiliated on graduation day in front of the whole school that Sidney left behind everything in his locker, including an antique mirror given to him by a lunch lady he was friends with before she passed away from a heart attack the year before.

He used to look in that mirror every day whether he wanted to or not trying to keep his unruly hair tidy and give himself motivational speeches to cope with the relentless bullying. As for why I said it was sometimes unwillingly, that's because Sidney was constantly shoved into his locker by the jocks and such. Honestly I'm not sure why the school didn't mail it to him but maybe because it was owned by someone who used to work there before she gave it to him maybe they considered it part of Casper High's history? Kind of a jerk move if you ask me since Sidney already had to deal with so much crap from his fellow students.

But, moving on. So the legend goes that any time someone was bullied near that locker...unexplainable things would start happening. Sometimes shoelaces tangled on their own, a disembodied voice could be heard, or the nearby lockers would start shaking as if someone was banging on them from the inside. That's why no one was assigned that locker for a long long time until Danny Fenton came along.

It's a shame I wasn't able to see it myself, but long story short, the mirror I'm talking about that once hung inside that locker ended up breaking because of him. Not that I'm too surprised since he can be a bit of a clutz sometimes, but if he thought it was haunted I don't really blame him. I just hope the poor guy doesn't have to deal with seven years bad luck too. Like I said, mirrors were often suspected of being windows to the spirit world which is part of why they reflect our souls. So in theory, they can also trap souls inside of them too just like photographs and paintings that depict real people.

I think that's what happened to Sidney Poindexter. A part of him never left that locker or maybe when he passed away from old age, the memory of that place haunted him so much that his soul was pulled back there and trapped. If that's the case I really hope he finds peace someday since I've had to deal with a fair share of bullying myself for one reason or another and so has Danny Fenton. Who knows, maybe the ghost of that kid sensed it and showed up which would spook anyone if you think about it. His parents may be ghost hunters but my guess is actually coming face to face with one is an entirely different story...

I haven't seen my first ghost yet but when I do, I'll be sure to share that terrifying tale next time!

Campfire Stories: Goatman's Bridge

Gonna need the back story of chili bowl mullet man now

I mean, the name pretty much describes it all.

He’s a local legend, known for his infamous haircut. A chili bowl and mullet combined into one beautiful fashion statement. Bold, unique, a Man About Town. I remember seeing him whilst riding backseat with my parents and squealing with delight, like I’d just seen Bigfoot walking outside my local kohl’s. Many people have stopped for photo ops with him but I was always too nervous. He’s simply a god among men.

Monster girl October Day 22: The Red Ghost

This one is a lesser known cryptid, but a very fun one! From Wikipedia: "In Arizona folklore, the Red Ghost is a figure alleged to have roamed the Arizonan frontier in the late 19th century. It was said to have been a large, red camel, with a bleached human skeleton upon its back. Legends of it were widespread across Arizona, up until its supposed death before the dawn of the 20th century. In 1893 a farmer shot the camel and found that there was an actual human skeleton strapped to its back."
