A step-by-step guide on how to summon demons.
In case anyone wants to call up a demon this Halloween, "The Joy of Satan" has you covered. The guide explores topics like dedicating your soul to Satan, Satanic symbols, and Satanic celebrations.
And for those new to Satanism, it gives advice on "how to join hell's army." It also has a special section just for kids and teens who follow the Devil.
The site's creator, who calls herself the "High Priestess Maxine Dietrich" still updates it. She recently uploaded a tutorial on how to chant the Torah in reverse.
Last words from executed inmates in Texas.
On the the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's website, they list information about former inmates on death row. It includes final statements from the inmates before they were executed, ranging from apologies to acceptance in their sentence.
The earliest execution dates back to December 1982, and the most recent from two weeks ago. The site reads like an eerie catalog of voices from the now dead.
Many are apologies and deeply human. Some haunting ones:
- I hope that one day we can look back on the evil that we’re doing right now like the witches we burned at the stake."
- "There are no endings, only beginnings. See you soon."
- "I'm ready, Warden."
In a country where an estimated 1 in 25 death row sentences are wrongful convictions, many of the statements claim innocence. We'll never know.
An archive of last communications from crashing planes.
This site archives the last pleas from people in plane crashes. All of the heartbreaking dispatches are real.
One pilot from a flight in 1992 shouts, "Going down, going down, going down, copied going down?" before it abruptly ends. Another from a US Airways crash in 2009 pleads, "We're going to be in the Hudson!" To play the recordings, choose one of the links on the left that say "ATC."
This virtual tour of a mental asylum.
This point-and-click adventure takes you inside of an insane asylum. The game is a teaser for "White Enamel," a fictional documentary about a mental hospital from Restoration Ruin Pictures.
Chilling screams, out-of-tune piano, and freaky scenes combine to make it a creepy journey.
The WebOuija.
Back in 1996, a programmer created this JavaScript version of the haunted board that claims to talk to the dead.
To mimic the original Ouija Board, WebOuija makes its users type in their question at the top. The app's cursor then starts to quiver, until you place your mouse over it. You then follow it to each letter, which spells out the board's answer.
Other more modern versions exist on the Internet, like the Witchboard or the Studio Why Halloween Card, but WebOuija is by far the creepiest.
When you ask if the site's creator, Mike Hall, is still alive, it hovers over "No."
"The Blair Witch Project" found footage.
Another site from the Old Internet, the makers of the 1999 film, "The Blair Witch Project," created this archive of bonus found footage.
"The Blair Witch Project" follows three film students who vanished after traveling into a Maryland forest to find the local Blair Witch.
Although fake, when the film first came out, many people thought it was real. On its site, you can still learn about the Blair Witch, browse the "evidence," and watch the found tapes.
This site full of gibberish.
No one knows who created this site, but it's exceptionally weird. The homepage lists a capitalized bunch of nonsense words and numbers. When you click through the arrows, it's a slideshow of ghoulish paintings and phrases that sound like they're from a demonic seance.
On one of the pages, the creator repeated "AMEN ALL MEN," and highlighted certain letters in gold to read "ME." Some of the other pages are trippy galleries and endless scrolls of random letters.
A map that shows deaths in real time.
This map illustrates the cycle of life. Green dots, which represent births, and red dots, which represent deaths, pop up as they happen.
The map also keeps track of which countries have the most deaths and births for the day. It shows that, on average, three times as many people coming into the world than leaving it.
