The story of Travis Walton has become one of the most famous and yet controversial cases involving the alien abduction phenomenon.

Walton would publish "The Travis Walton Experience" in 1978, a book explaining his ordeal and the subsequent aftermath. This would be turned into the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky". While the movie took many liberties with Walton's story, it did convey the helplessness, terror, and trauma he suffered. For more information you can find Travis Walton's book now retitled after the film: "Fire in the Sky:The Travis Walton Experience".

With the surge in UFOs and UAP sightings, and the U.S. government finally admitting to the existence of such phenomena, Travis Walton's story is perhaps more important now than ever!

The tale of Virginia's Bunny Man has evolved into an urban legend and even spread into the surrounding state of Maryland. As the legend grew it evolved to include Colchester Overpass, a Southern Railway overpass spanning Colchester Road near Clifton, Virginia, sometimes referred to as "Bunny Man Bridge". It is here, in one tale, where the Bunny Man is said to have hung the mutilated remains of some children who were hanging out by the bridge. In another tale, the Bunny Man is the ghost of a man wearing rabbit pelts that died violently while police tried to apprehend him, and now his spirit haunts the bridge. In recent years it has become a popular spot for thrill seekers and the curious alike, especially around Halloween, despite local police turning away non-locals.

Ancient tales whispered through the ages of colossal, monstrous bears roaming the untamed wilderness. Not ordinary grizzlies or polar bears, mind you, but true giants. These stories tell of creatures unparalleled in size and strength, with claws and teeth like knives and eyes gleaming with malevolent intelligence; however, what if they were not just folklore? From Alaska to Florida, numerous sightings of giant bears have occurred in more modern times, and some have even blamed such creatures for the numerous people who have disappeared over the years in the wilds of North America. Then again, maybe its all just a hoax. Such creatures can't possibly exist... can they?
