Where the really scary stories begin…
You started watching scary movies and reading bone-chilling stories as a kid. Like us, people probably thought you were a little weird, but interest in the paranormal is normal. There are millions of stories that cannot be explained by mainstream science. Some of us have a need to know and understand what is behind the veil of paranormal activity and to ask the questions no one else seems to want to ask.
The mysteries and the lore are fascinating and sometimes macabre (and we love them). We’re a growing international community of creatives and paranormal explorers. Sound like your tribe? Welcome to Puzzle Box Horror.
