It Came Through the Attic

A Kairos OG brings us the return of high strangeness in what may be the installment most likely to elicit a cautionary glance over your shoulder.  Just before the 2016 election, I moved into a house split into two separate apartments. Well, mostly separate, as you'll see later. The neighborhood…

I’m Not Saying It’s Aliens

Regular readers of this blog will know that I'm no hard-nosed skeptic. That said, Charles Fort himself warned against being so open-minded that one's brains spilled out.

A reader passes along this story. The story about the visitor to the Kildalton Old Parish Church struck a cord with me. I thought I might tell you a story from my family. I believe in angels. I believe in them because the Scriptures speaks of them. I also believe…

Of all the true tales of high strangeness I've shared with you, none scare me more than this one. Joe--true name withheld for reasons that will become obvious--grew up in the 60s in one of the more upscale Chicago suburbs. After college he returned to his hometown and settled into…

The spooky season is almost upon us, so the time seems right for a good old-fashioned ghost story. In keeping with Kairos tradition, this tale recounts actual events. Back in my days working for the local cinema chain, there was a Chinese restaurant tucked into the same shopping center as…

The Old Man of the Woods

A reader who shall remain anonymous for reasons that the post will make self-evident kindly provides us with an eerily intriguing diversion. Cousin lived with my grandparents in a hunting cabin in Missouri. Still lives there now that they're gone. Their neighbor back then was this old Indian guy who…

RIP Art Bell

RIP Art Bell

A weekend news item that may have gotten lost in the shuffle with all the stories about Syria, Russia, and Trump's lawyer was the death of legendary talk radio host Art Bell. Art had been mostly retired for over a decade. My audience tends to skew younger, so it's unclear…

A Ghost for the Offering

A Ghost for the Offering
