I saw the Weird New Jersey mag at the time I was running my first Witchcraft game and almost used it. I did lay out the plans for a new Witchcraft campaign where we (IRL) would go visit one of these sites and then on subsequent weekends play an adventure based on the site (sort of a "now here's what really happened" thing). This was feasible because we could be anywhere in the state within 2 hours. Unfortunately, the campaign never happened.

Gray text on a black background. :P Seriously, though, the LD story was neat -- and definitely the right vibe for a WoD game. Thanks for the link. You know what scares me?

Could be great for the first games in a WoD campaign. @Telas: That story is indeed spooky. Could be great for the first games in a WoD campaign.

Every once in a while old programs run around Discovery/History/A&E. You might want to check it out. Back in 2005 the guys from Weird U.S. had a show on the Discovery block on cable.

And then to <a href="http://www.lostdestinations.com/sapphiredevil.htm" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, which <i>freaked me the hell out.</i> Thanks, Martin. Can I get my sleep back?

It was the one about melonheads in Chardon,Ohio (Ohio being the state where I live). Gave me the willies. It was like reading a goosebumps story when I was a kid.
