Demonology in Witchcraft: The Misunderstood Divide Demonology in Witchcraft: The Misunderstood Divide “The witch and the demon were never the same thing. Yet, somewhere in history, they were made to walk hand in hand.” The Shadow Between Faith and Fear I’ve always believed that the deepest fears in history often hide the most revealing truths. After the hysteria and burnings, after the whispered accusations that turned neighbor against neighbor, there lies a quieter story—one not about evil, but about misunderstanding. When we look back at the age of witchcraft and demonology, what we’re really seeing is a portrait of human fear: a struggle to name what cannot be controlled, to explain what cannot be seen. And yet, beneath the smoke and sermons, there were real people—healers, midwives, herbalists—whose lives became tangled in theology’s darker web. [1] How the Devil Became a Neighbor The concept of demonology didn’t rise from witchcraft—it descend...

🎆 Special Edition: New Year’s Eve: When Midnight Feels Haunted There’s a reason New Year’s Eve has always felt a little… charged. Not just because of crowds and champagne, but because it’s a threshold night: one year ending, another beginning, the clock doing that dramatic little countdown like it knows we’re all holding our breath. Across cultures, liminal moments (doorways, crossroads, midnight) tend to gather stories the way velvet gathers candle-smoke. And while I can’t hand you “proof” in a tidy box with a ribbon, there are places where New Year’s celebrations seem to leave behind something else: a lingering presence, a rearranged room, a figure that shouldn’t be there, and yet somehow is . 🍾 1) The Lady in Red (and Marilyn, in Passing) — The Hollywood Roosevelt, Los Angeles If New Year’s Eve were a hotel, it might look like the Hollywood Roosevelt : old glamour, late-night laughter, and a building that has watched a century of celebrations come and go. ...

🌙 Yule Special Edition #4 — Modern Yule, Ancient Places, and the Quiet Paranormal Yule has a reputation for darkness, but what I’ve found is something softer: a season of attention . The longest nights slow the world down, and in that slowing, people notice things they usually miss. 🕯✨ This special edition is meant to feel alive and present, not heavy or dreary. It follows three true, grounded threads: two ancient sites where midwinter still behaves like a doorway… and one very modern American community where Yule is practiced openly today. 🌅 1) Newgrange — When the Sun Enters the Tomb (Ireland) At Newgrange, an ancient passage tomb within Brú na Bóinne, winter solstice sunrise is not a metaphor. It is a physical event. A specially designed opening called the roof-box allows a narrow beam of sunlight to travel down the long passage and reach the inner chamber at sunrise around the winter solstice. [1] The effect is so precise and so rare that access...

🎄 Christmas Special Edition #4 — Anne Boleyn: A Christmas Haunting at Hever Castle As part of my seasonal special editions, I wanted to end the Christmas series with a haunting that feels historic, personal, and unforgettable — not because it’s loud, but because it’s real in the way memory can be real. For generations, visitors and staff have claimed that Anne Boleyn returns to Hever Castle during the Christmas season — a place that was once her home, long before her name became legend. 1 🏰 Hever Castle at Christmas Hever Castle, set in the Kent countryside, is widely known as the childhood home of Anne Boleyn — the second wife of Henry VIII and the mother of the future Queen Elizabeth I. 2 At Christmas, the castle becomes a study in warmth against winter: garlands, candlelight, and old stone halls that seem to absorb every decade that has passed through them. Hever’s own history programming reflects how deeply the castle connects Anne’s story to the seaso...

🌲 Yule Special Edition #3 — The Wild Hunt: Riders of Midwinter As part of my seasonal special editions, Yule felt like the right place to explore one of the oldest and most powerful winter beliefs — the idea that midwinter skies themselves could move, roar, and remember. Across northern Europe, this force was known as The Wild Hunt . 1 🔥 A Yule Night With Teeth (But Not Cruelty) Yule has always held two truths at once: warmth inside, winter outside. And when the wind rose hard enough to shake doors and make forests groan, people gave that sound a story. Across Germanic and Scandinavian traditions, the Wild Hunt was described as a furious host of riders and hounds, often heard more than seen, tearing through storm-dark skies during the deepest nights of winter. 1 In many tellings, the Hunt is led by Odin — hooded, one-eyed, riding through the sky — while other regions name different spectral leaders or unnamed lords of the dead. 1 Despite its fearsome i...

🎄 Christmas Special Edition #3 — Modern Christmas Hauntings Christmas is often spoken of as a season of nostalgia — a time when memory feels closer, when familiar places glow differently, and when silence settles more deeply after celebrations end. In modern paranormal accounts, Christmas appears again and again not as a time of terror, but as a moment when the boundary between presence and absence seems unusually thin. Unlike older folklore tied to hearths or ancestral lands, these stories unfold in recognizably modern spaces — stores, shops, and hotels — places filled with holiday crowds by day and left hushed and expectant by night. What follows are three documented modern accounts in which Christmas itself appears to act as the catalyst. 🧸 1) The Haunted Toys “R” Us — Sunnyvale, California The Toys “R” Us in Sunnyvale, California became one of the most widely reported modern hauntings in the United States, not because of its age, b...
