Hello, I am Robert G. Male. Welcome to WraithStop™. Here you will find links that I think are of interest. Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require you to sign up for free. Without further ado, the links...

• This is an interesting idea. Turning it around might be even more interesting where people are enticed to (safely, hopefully) explore and take photos and audio samples from real haunted locations. Fiction-wise the dangerous places, and dangerous hauntings would be better. Such a game application could be used to track down monster and mysterious animal sightings folding in geo-cache-like game elements as well.

• Legends like this are most interesting when a recognisable person is involved. They are easy to dismiss with a brief word from that person. That does not make them any less interesting. A lack of these and other details that ground the story, even as fictional as it is, to reality can really diminish that story's power. This power can--it may require the reader to let it--be independent upon how easy it is to be verified as false.

• Coulrophobes (the clown fearing) run! Run now! This is another of those interesting phenomena that happens to straddle reality. An urban legend passed on from an uncheckable source is one thing, but actual police reports and news coverage is another thing altogether even if it is highly exaggerated. The level of inexplicableness is also fascinating. Why are these figures so unsuccessful, inept even? What is the motivation to create fear that ultimately is unfounded and has no secondary effect? What is that actual first intended effect too?

• These stories are among the creepiest for some reason, and it doesn't particularly matter if they are black eyed children or adults. I've been aware of these stories since well before the advent of the TV show Supernatural--the first story here is 1998. The extended nature of many of the incidents lends a much greater level of fear than half-glimpses or short sightings of Shadow People. I also rather like the mystery of what they want since so many of them seem intent on taking off with people. The answer to that one is best left alone. Don't you think?

Happy Hallowe'en! I hope everyone has enjoyed these thirteen nights. The Amityville Horror (2005) is here on this night for a reason. It's a pretty awesome remake. I don't know if it's my top pick as far as the presented remakes go or not, but it is such a classic story I wanted it for... Read it all at R.G. Male's Dark Corners.
