I Photographed a Fairy AKA Pareidolia Photography

We all know what pareidolia is, right? (If not, see image at end.) Well, I love to photograph tiny worlds and think about what tiny little life lives in them, and today, I captured a fairy.

Now, I know, of course, that what is captured isn't the best focused, as I was in a rush, but I do have a few progressively worse angles showing the same little bit of faux fae. And I only noticed as I sit here on my Friday night, vibing to some YouTube tunes and zoning in on my photos from the moss growing under a leaky column at the gas station this morning. I wanted to see if anything was worth cropping and sharing, and I was thinking about what kind of little fairy life (how I consider all microlife) called this place home when I saw my gorgeous gray gal. I didn't want to lose any kind of resolution in trying to crop the photo (because we all know I'm tech-impaired with this stuff), so I took a screenshot. (Ok, I may not be sober, so this was easiest. And I'm home, not going anywhere. And I'm almost 40, why am I explaining this?)

But I digress... Like always. Y'all, I've missed writing for y'all, but I got stuff coming. Grrr, off-topic again. Fairy fic. Right. No, fairy pic. There we go. Back on track.

So, obviously, I did not capture a real fairy chilling at the pumps this morning. I just captured nature finding little places to make herself at home and a place to let my relaxed mind wander harmlessly. Because you never know, maybe there was a fairy hiding somewhere in all that green life. I just wasn't focused enough capturing my photos.

Until next time, Lore Lovers, stay spooky 💖

The Legend of Zombie Road

The Legend of Zombie Road Ghost Children, Indigenous American Burial Grounds, Train Accidents, Serial Killers, and a Screaming Old Ghost Lady? Sign me up! Location: Wildwood, St. Louis County, Missouri With reports of ghost children, orbs, serial killers, Indigenous American ghosts, zombies (?!?!), and more, Zombie Road AKA Rock Hollow Trail, located in Wildwood, MO (in St. Louis County), is considered one of the most haunted roads in America...but is it? The Lore Reports of paranormal activity on Zombie Road vary from experience to experience. Some people hear footsteps following them, there are reports of rocks being thrown, orbs caught on camera and seen firsthand by people, shadow people, and so much more. And because of all these reports, it’s easy to see why people consider it one of the most haunted roads in the United States. As there are a lot of reports and origin stories dating back to the 1800s, not to mention the location has a dozen names or so, I will try my best to orga

The Lore of Bachelor's Grove Cemetery - The Hook and the Caretaker

The Lore of Bachelor's Grove Cemetery - The Hook and the Caretaker The Hookman urban legend is one we all know but did this legend start at Bachelor's Grove Cemetery? The lore of the Caretaker has ties to the Disappearing House, doppelgangers, and a theory that Lily wants to explore more... Watch the wrap-up video here. The Hook The Lore Back in October 2022, I shared the legend of the Hookman as part of my American Urban Legends: Killer on the Loose and said that multiple states claim to be home to the origin story location. Bachelor's Grove Cemetery happens to be one of those locations. According to my new favorite unknown writer, compiler, and general spooky story-teller, Pete Crapia, a researcher by the name of Richard Crowe helped introduce people to the legend of the Hook in the 1970s during radio broadcasts and later in 1985 as part of his The Ghosts of Chicago documentary. Now as this is one of my favorite urban legends, I would love to assume y'all all know
