Were you born in the late 1950s to mid 1960s? Then, 1970s Halloweens might be some of your best memories. It was the peak of Halloween antics, popularity and back when kids could still trick or treat without the adults, rushing through neighborhoods with pillowcases until midnight!

Some urban legends don't die, they just change clothes. There's a long-held story about a time traveling plane flight. The flight and details change, but the concept remains. Did this (these) flight(s) time travel? 

Forests: The Birthplace of Creepy

   

Forests hide so much. In Central and South America, jungles cover ancient cultures. In America, our forests are the location of missing persons, cryptids, stairways to nowhere, abandoned railroad tracks, spectral lights, abandoned homes, cemeteries, and so much more. 

Aliens! Aliens! Aliens! Caught on Camera!

 

In the early 2000s, everything was about ghosts, then we moved into Bigfoot, Dogman, ancient giants, ancient aliens, and finally into alien obsession. Over the years, folks have caught on video and photographs what they believe to be non-human creatures. Let's look at some of the evidence -

1950s Radioactive Monsters: Are They Possible?

 

It's interesting to note that, with the reality of THE bomb, horror movies in the 1950s took on the gnawing concerns. 

Japan, the target of bombs in WWII certainly had reason to ponder that. In fact, Godzilla invention seemed to start a plague of concerns.

I'm sharing another of my research projects for treasure hunting in Arizona. Now that I've relocated, and my team has passed away, I am not pursuing these. I figured I don't want to waste the research when someone else who is ready to investigate can take it and run. Good luck!

Dancing With Snakes, Speaking in Tongues, and Witchcraft

 

I like to think I'm not so arrogant as to think that everyone should think as I do or act as I do. Hell, I've had friends who prayed to trees, believed that they should only eat foods that are white, and swore they still slept beside their late husband's spirit. 

Are Expeditons to Hollow Earth Forever Cursed?

 

The concept of a hollow earth within the earth has been around for centuries. Native legends of underground people, missing tribes, lost cultures, and aliens, ancient giants, and other unexplained races's disappearances keep the concept alive.

Vintage Halloween Masks - Make Your Own Creepy Mask

 

Halloween masks of the 70s and 80s were plastic store-bought variety, but prior to that, folks made their own masks often times. Some of the masks they came up with were very unsettling. I believe they are much scarier than any "realistic" werewolf and clown masks of today.

Hitchcock films - the women were all high fashion, silk suits, flaring dresses, crinolines, heeled pumps, neatly groomed and shellac'd hair. The men were all about suits. Many of these looks can be found at places like Ann Taylor and Banana Republic.

Halloween series - this is teen wear from the 1970s. Ideally, you find them in a vintage store, but also some newer stores that imitate the 70s staples, like American Eagle or Free People.
