Petrifying Stories
Do you believe in ghosts? Demons? Another dimension? What about zombies, werewolves, vampires, aliens, the Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, or witches? And yes, even Frankenstein.
That last one may sound more far-fetched than the rest, but think about it. Today, doctors perform heart, kidney, and liver transplants. They replace limbs with advanced prosthetics, clone living organisms, grow human tissue in laboratories, perform skin grafts, and continue researching ways to repair or even replace damaged parts of the human body. Science has advanced in ways that once would have been considered impossible. What was once the stuff of horror stories is, in some ways, becoming reality.
Now, do all of these legends and myths contain a grain of truth? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Unless you—or someone you know and trust—has experienced something that defies explanation, it's easy to dismiss such stories as nonsense. As many people would say today, "Yeah... right."
Petrifying Stories
When I first decided to write a horror film, I wanted to base it on events I had personally experienced and stories I had heard throughout my life. But something unexpected happened. By the time I reached the second page, I couldn't continue.
Writing about those experiences brought back memories I had buried for years. The fear returned with them. I felt the same dread I had known as a child. There's an old saying: Don't look back, because something may be gaining on you. Whether that's true or not, looking back into my own past was frightening enough. The story of why I felt that way is one I'll share another time.
Instead, I chose to write a different kind of horror story—one inspired by the unknown without forcing me to relive every terrifying moment from my childhood. That's how Conjures was born.
For years I considered writing this blog about the strange and unexplained experiences that my family and I lived through. I always found a reason not to. Fear was usually that reason.

What has changed?
I've finally decided that if I'm ever going to tell these stories honestly, I have to confront those fears instead of running from them.
The experiences began when I was about five years old, and in some ways they've stayed with me throughout my life. Even today, some moments remind me of those years. The overwhelming terror I felt as a child has faded, but it has never completely disappeared. It has become a quieter fear—a fear of the unknown. And sometimes, the unknown can be the most petrifying thing of all.
I don't believe my past can harm me anymore because I put my faith in Jehovah God, the Creator. That faith gives me the strength to tell these stories without letting fear control me.
Whenever something unusual happens, I first try to find a logical explanation. Most things have one. But some experiences seem to resist explanation—events that leave more questions than answers.
