Mystery - Horror - Culture

Lifestyle

Why are some people afraid of clowns? Or, why is it that the scariest room in your house is usually your basement or attic? That’s some of the terror psychology that our writers want to share with you in our lifestyle section, as we share the unexplainable and scary facts about paranormal experiences.

Enjoy some historical journalism about paranormal hot spots around the world. If it is paranormal and scary, we’re going to cover it. From freaky haunted artifacts to the legendary and tragic family curses, the ancient practices of Voodoo, Santeria and Wicca (the good kind of witchcraft), to possessions, culture and mythology.

Do you have a suggested topic you’d like to see our writers contribute to our blog? Leave us a comment or contact us. We love inspiration from fellow fans of the paranormal. And if you are a writer and want to contribute an article to Puzzle Box Horror, hit us up on the Collaborate page.

While novels are supposed to bring wisdom and wonder, there are a few books in the world so … [Read more...] about Cursed Books You Should Read at Your Own Risk

Interruptions. They are a part of life but I still haven’t grown accustomed to them. In fact, I hate them so much I stopped taking walk-ins years ago… It was a Tuesday morning and I had just poured a fresh cup of coffee. The aroma was rising in my nose as my computer booted up for the day. I was about to sit down and work on putting the final touches on the first draft of … [Read more...] about The Paranormal Journal of Ezekiel Kincaid Entry 5: James and Alice
