Channel: Weird Darkness: Paranormal, True Crime, Macabre
Date: 2024-02-08

Tales of sea monsters go back millennia, tales of giant squids and octopus are particularly prevalent.  But where is the last place on earth you’d expect to find such a creature?  How about the desert landscape of Oklahoma? (The Oklahoma Octopus) *** Parental hostility drove a girl out of her home and into the arms of her cousin.  As I’m sure you can guess, that was not a wise decision.  (Kissing Cousins) *** I’ll read a short passage from G. Michael Vasey’s book, “Chasing the Goddess”, a chapter called “Strange Things Happen To Me”.
