And I found this one spot where time slowed down by a fraction of a second. It's not supposed to do that.

From the two big categories, animal mutilations and human abduction, you have to conclude that genetic material is being harvested.

I reached for a rifle and I turned and looked and it was already moving away and it was descending the bluff. There's no way any human could have went down.

West Virginia has plenty of paranormal activity to share. The mountain state can boast apparitions of civil war soldiers, encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and ghosts of murder victims, still seeking justice along with many other paranormal anomalies.

One of the most haunted cities in this appellation mountain region is Morgantown. Morgantown was originally settled in 1772 by Zacquil Morgan.
