There are things unknown. We don't always see them, but we sense them. Have you ever been alone and felt that someone was watching you? Afraid to turn around, lest you catch a ghostly visage out of the corner of your eye?

One reason we consume the supernatural is to experience stimulation. Exposure to terrifying acts, or even the anticipation of those acts, can stimulate us mentally and physically in opposing ways: negatively (in fear or anxiety) or positively (in the form of excitement or joy).

Welcome to The Uncanny – a compendium of twelve tales inspired by events from our own experiences. It's time for that coffee break and a deep dive into the realms of the unknown.
