A young “cotton-candy” planet is hastening its own demise. As it dips close to its star, it appears to trigger giant explosions that erode the planet’s atmosphere. The planet orbits HIP 67522, a star roughly 400 light-years from Earth. The star is a little bigger and heavier than the Sun, but less than one percent the Sun’s age. Such young stars generate strong magnetic fields. Lines of magnetic force tangle and snap, producing powerful flares. The planet, HIP 67522 b, orbits

Danielle always knew something was there. A quiet watcher. A presence just behind her shoulder that never spoke—until the night she and her friends tried to summon a spirit. No Ouija board. Just a candle, a necklace, and one question whispered into the dark: “What’s your name?” The answer came as a thought that wasn’t hers—Cory. From then on, Cory was everywhere. What followed was a real haunting—a possession that tore through the walls of a quiet house on Friday the 13th. Voices spoke through

A birder may have a target bird so elusive that the bird becomes a kind of "jinx bird." But there was a real bird by that name! The bird once called the "jynx" is known today as the Eurasian Wryneck. When a wryneck is threatened, it twists its head like a snake and hisses. This behavior led to the

Mr. E and Jay Clone discuss a terror from the deep southwest deserts of the United States, the Augerino. This creature is said to resemble a large worm but with one unique feature of a spiraling beak-like appendage on the front of its body.

What if one night, someone saw you walking away… while you were still inside? And what if years later, your own child started talking to someone who shouldn’t exist anymore? First, a young girl named Madeline steps out of a small-town Kansas movie theater, or so her father and sister think. They watch her cross toward the train tracks — same clothes, same hair, same movements. But the real Madeline was still in the restroom. When she emerged minutes later, they realized they had seen something

For most of her life, she only felt things — brief flashes of warning, uncanny instincts that something terrible or strange was about to happen. Her husband called it coincidence… until she began predicting car accidents, visits, and phone calls before they occurred. She didn’t ask for it — the sensations came uninvited, slipping through like static from a broken radio. Then she beat cancer… and everything changed. One night, half-awake, she felt pressure along her spine — a faint hum that grew

Send us a text A perfect circle of mushrooms in the grass can feel like a message. We follow that feeling into the heart of fungi and folklore with Amanda McLoughlin and Julia Schifini of Spirits, exploring why mushrooms unsettle us, how they anchor myth, and what they can teach us about living with limits and wonder. From fairy rings and house spirits to cordyceps and body horror, we trace the line between ecology and story: a mycelial network expands and fruits at the edge, myth calls it a ...

The dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through literature. Contrary to the presumption that literary nationalism in the Global South emerged through contact with Europe alone, Reading Across Borders: Afghans, Iranians, and Literary Nationalism (University of Texas Press, 2024) demonstrates how the cultural forms of Iran and Afghanistan as nation-states arose from their shared Persian heritage and cross-cultural exchange in the twentieth century. In
