For centuries, people have searched for ways to bridge the divide between the living and the dead. From necromancers in ancient Mesopotamia to mediums of the Victorian era, the desire to call back loved ones has been as old as death itself. Today, technology offers a new gateway: artificial intelligence and virtual reality. These tools can reconstruct voices, mannerisms, even lifelike presences of the deceased—leaving us to wrestle with an old question in a modern form. Are we comforting the grieving, or are we trespassing into dangerous territory once reserved for seers and occultists?

In a discovery that could reshape the very foundations of human reproduction, researchers have successfully created human egg cells from skin cells. This first-of-its-kind achievement signals the possibility that, one day, babies could be born without the need for a biological mother.

Hollywood has always had a reputation for manufacturing stars, but the latest name making waves isn’t a starlet clawing her way up the industry ladder. It’s a string of code wrapped in a human face. Meet Tilly Norwood, the AI-generated “actress” hailed as the next Scarlett Johansson—and already dividing the industry before her career even begins.

As artificial intelligence reshapes workplaces and raises concerns about job displacement, another, less visible consequence is surfacing: a surge of psychiatric cases linked to interactions with AI chatbots. Mental health facilities are increasingly reporting patients suffering from delusions and paranoia connected to prolonged use of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Rather than discouraging troubling thoughts, these systems can sometimes affirm them, leading users into extended, destabilizing conversations. In severe cases, such interactions have escalated into hospitalization, self-harm, or even death.

Every state in America carries a story of tragedy, mystery, and lingering spirits. From crumbling asylums to quiet cemeteries, these places reflect our fascination with the supernatural. Since National Ghost Hunting Day falls on the last Saturday of September, it’s a fitting time to explore the legends. But a word of warning: ghost hunting itself can be risky—not only because of trespassing or unsafe conditions in abandoned places, but also because of the very real spiritual dangers that may come from seeking out the paranormal. Instead, let’s take a journey through history and folklore to see which haunted site looms largest in each state.

For centuries, the dodo has stood as the most famous symbol of extinction. The plump, flightless bird disappeared from its native Mauritius in the 17th century after human hunting, habitat loss, and invasive predators sealed its fate. Now, more than 300 years later, scientists believe the dodo might walk the Earth again. Texas-based biotech firm Colossal Biosciences has announced what it calls a “pivotal step” toward reviving the dodo.

In a bizarre and troubling incident from Russia, a 26-year-old woman signed away her soul for 100,000 rubles (roughly $1,180). What makes the story even stranger is what she chose to do with the money—she spent it on a Labubu doll collection and a concert ticket.

A mysterious ancient manuscript, known as the Ipuwer Papyrus, has drawn attention for its striking parallels to the biblical account of the ten plagues of Egypt.

The Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring is headed to the auction block on Halloween, because of course it is. JJManning Auctioneers has listed the Burrillville, R.I., property for a mortgagee’s foreclosure auction.

Every state carries its own share of eerie folklore, unexplained sightings, and shadowy figures that seem to step out of another reality entirely. And while Tennessee is where we call home now, Pennsylvania—the state we originally came from—holds its own rich history of terrifying legends and cryptid tales! With its dense Appalachian forests, endless caves, and forgotten industrial ruins, the Keystone State is crawling with monsters that have haunted locals for centuries.
