A while ago, when a comic shop was going out of business, I got for a dollar a group of collectable cards. The deck is called R.I.P.: Real Monsters, Demons & Ghosts. Many of the regular types of cases are covered (Mad Gasser, vampires, mass murderers, even Charles Fort!) but there are a few cases that I had never heard of. Are these just made up, or well-respected cases in the paranormal cannon I had never heard of?
FIRE EYES: in 1986,1987 a family in Horicon, WI move into a house where the kids start to hear whispering voices and the whole family starts to see glowing green eyes. The father continued investigating until he heard the voices one night coming from his garage, he went in and the eyes were there as well as a huge ball of flame - but the fire disappeared and the house was not harmed. They left, and suppedly destroyed the bunk bed, which was causing the disturbance.
SECRET IN THE CEILING: Ellen Wheeler moved into a new house in Oxford, England in 1874, but didn't like the house. She kept waking up with the feeling that something horrible lay over her head. It started destroying her health, worrying about the ceiling, so she left and in her absence, the family looked and found the body of a dead baby, whose neck had been twisted (the assumed cause of death).
DEVIL'S HANDS: According to the San Francisco Weekly Bulletin on December 20, 1872, a Mr. Chase was visited by an entity who sat beside him. The entity said Chases hands were his, and would he kindly burn them off. He held them in the fire for as long as he could, putting some grease on them and put them in again, and when his hands were burned up the entity left. Chase later told his tale in the hospital.
UNSEEN EVIL: This card details mysterious unseen attackers. In 1951 Manilla, a young woman was bitten by an object nobody could see, and people saw the bitemarks appear out of thin air as they rushed her to a hospital. In 1952, a Cheshire England pig farmer was attacked by a cloud in his kitchen, a cloud that produced two "projections" that reached for hsi throat, and that it was dispelled by his turning on a light. This cloud was lineked to something called the Jones Family Poltergeist. The last report is undated, and it says a Wisconsin homeowner was attacked by a grey-cloaked skeleton when it pressed it's thumbs to his head, which knocked him out. When he came to, there wee permanent indentions where the skeleton had pressed his head.
Has anybody heard of these reports elsewhere? The cards were printed by Kitchen Sink Press.
