2025/11/09

Modern medicine has made it possible to raise the dead. As long as the person who has died, did so very recently. So far, no one that has been dead for days has been raised from the dead. There have been attempts through history to accomplish this feat though. Man has tried to use electricity to bring dead nerves back to life. Authors like Mary Shelley have written classic tomes about man's pursuit of this endeavor and ultimate success. But that was fiction. As they say, with God, all things are

Can there be anything more terrifying than a monster that can swoop down out of the sky and attack? Perhaps even pick you up? Probably the most famous scary flying creature of American lore is Mothman, but the pterodactyl would have to be the most petrifying flying monster in the history of the world. But to be sure, neither of these creatures have feathers. They seemed to fly with bat-like wings. However, there are a class of feathered fiends that could give both of them a run for their money.
