This page is also home to those aspects of the paranormal that fall out of range of normal ghost lore. Here, you'll find tales of cryptids, such as Bigfoot, Mothman, Dogmen, and other cryptozoology favorites. You'll also find tales of UFOs and their out-of-this-world inhabitants. Articles are broken up into two sections: Weird tales from West Virginia and Weird Tales from elsewhere in the country and even the world. As always, check back often for new stories and articles, and if you can't find what you're looking for, check over at my Haunted West Virginia page. If your story isn't there, feel free to hop on over to Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State Facebook and share your suggestions for upcoming blog posts. Stay weird!
