Reasons I (and everyone else) Would Be Burned As A Witch
The events in Salem were but one chapter in a long story of people being hunted, tried and killed for acts of witchcraft. Although, arguably the most famous, the Salem Witch Trials occurred late in the sequence, with hunts and executions beginning in Europe, around 1330.

The Other Woman
The video had been playing for six minutes when Maya realized the woman was describing her nightmare. Not a nightmare. Her nightmare. The one she'd been having for three weeks straight, the one that left her gasping awake at 3 AM with the taste of smoke in her mouth and the phantom sensation of drowning. The woman on screen—pale, dark circles carved beneath her eyes—spoke in a monotone that made Maya's skin crawl.

He's Close
DON’T WAKE DADDY Daddy is already asleep when you open the box. The plastic board smells faintly of dust and something older, like a closed room that hasn’t been aired out in years. The cardboard stairs are chewed at the edges, softened by hands that once trembled as they moved tiny plastic children upward.
