Autumn"s Oddities ·

2024/10/08

In the late 1970s, professor Dr. Charles Scudder and his companion Joey Odom left their lives in Chicago behind for simpler lives in the mountains of Georgia.

Eventually, the wrong person was let in, and tragic consequences followed.SOURCEShttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/114723296/joseph_d-odomThe Corpsewood Manor Murders in North Georgia -

The Fresno Nightcrawler

The Fresno Nightcrawler is a cryptid that resembles a pair of legs draped in white fabric and not much else. While the sightings might immediately scream “hoax”, there are at least two instances of it being captured on video. Is there really a haunted pair of pants out there or is the Fresno Nightcrawler just another clickbait story?SOURCEShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzlf8rNyuxkGeorge, Carmen (October 19, 2018).
