In the shadowy depths of Pennsylvania’s hemlock forests, where fog clings to the trees like ancient whispers, lives a creature so pitiful, so heartbreakingly sorrowful, that it is said to dissolve into a puddle of its own tears when confronted.

The moon has “always”, at least the past millennia, been showered with praise, mysticism, and magic.

During two consecutive nights in 1936 on the grounds of St. Coletta School for Exceptional Children, rural Jefferson, a creature was found digging on a close by burial ground. The beast was described as 6 ft humanoid covered in fur and with a head resembling a wolf. The eyes were large and glowing red-orange and it sometimes walked on two legs, and sometimes on four legs.

It started simply enough. In the summer of 1947, something crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. The nearby Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release stating that they had recovered a "flying disc" .

Long before mermaids enchanted Western sailors and storytellers, the waters of ancient China were said to be home to their own merfolk, the Jiaoren. These beings have swum through centuries of Chinese folklore, their shimmering legends a blend of beauty, mystery, and deep ecological symbolism.

Time travel is the ability to travel through time, and it's an activity humans have been fascinated with sine we became aware of time. Some people say time travelling is a possibility others say nay,we are stuck in this time and can't move through it. Some try to build machines and others think you can only time travel through your mind or through some glitch in the matrix. So what is time travelling and is it a mere fantasy or a reality?

Spring Equinox, Ostara or the Resurretion of Jesus; this moment marks the first day of spring, with the light triumphing over the darkness. The earth begins waking up, plants start to sprout from the ground, and animals come out of hibernation. But what is it really about?
