Le leggende urbane, quello sono. Leggende, giusto? Eh...e allora cosa c'entra la salsa barbecue?

Based on a cold-case disappearance, which took place in Grand Pointe, Winnipeg. The Grand Pointe Disappearance is widely regarded in Grand Pointe as a real, unresolved incident rather than a legend. According to local accounts, a student went missing one winter morning while waiting for her school bus shortly after 6:00 AM. The weather that morning was unusually warm for the season, a detail that is consistently mentioned by people familiar with the event. She was last known to have left her house and walked down to the road at the end of her driveway. She never arrived at school. Attendance records marked her absent, and no classmates reported seeing her on the bus. When questioned, the assigned bus driver stated that he did not drive that route that day. No substitute driver was listed, and no bus matching the route was ever located. Local authorities investigated briefly but found no physical evidence-no signs of a struggle, no witnesses, and no indication she left voluntarily. The case stalled quickly and was eventually closed without resolution. Over time, residents began to note inconsistencies surrounding the road and the timing of the disappearance, including repeated claims that watches and clocks in the area read slightly different times that morning. The detail most often cited as proof that something was wrong is that her wristwatch was later found in her bedroom, placed neatly on her nightstand. Family members insist it had been left there before she went missing and could not have been returned afterward. According to legend, the watch still runs and reads 6:01 AM. Many residents maintain that this was not a runaway case or an accident, but a disappearance tied to the road itself. The incident is still spoken about seriously in Grand Pointe, and people who live nearby continue to avoid waiting near the road after 6:01, believing the event could happen again. They think the entity... hunts.

"Is there truly a light at the end of every tunnel?" In the late fall of 2007, two old childhood friends - Ren Dojima and Aya Amagi - embark on a journey into Japan's forest-shrouded Inunaki Mountain. Their destination? The infamous Inunaki Tunnel, a place steeped in chilling legends and unspeakable horrors. Both are driven by the same desperate mission: to uncover the fate of their long-lost siblings. Nearly two decades earlier, in 1988, a man was abducted and dragged into the tunnel by five young men. There, he was subjected to unimaginable torment before being set ablaze and abandoned to die in the suffocating darkness. The atrocity gave rise to whispers, then rumors, and ultimately, enduring urban legends that haunted the 1990s and persist to this day. Inspired by these real-life tales, The Inunaki Tunnel delves into the macabre with a unique twist and an original take on the urban legend as Ren, forensics-analyst, and Aya, journalist, follow a fresh lead - a glimmer of hope that might finally answer the question of why their siblings vanished. But as the two venture deeper into the shadows, they must confront not only the mysteries of the past but also the horrifying truths lurking in the present. Will they uncover the light they seek, or will the darkness claim them too?

🏆 Hit #1 Amazon Bestseller THE HARLEM PLUG Written By Harlem Holiday "To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace." -Malcolm X In Harlem's tumultuous history, there are many tragedies. For those growing up in this part of New York City, a young man known simply as Fritz from West 112th Street became an urban legend in Harlem. In the 1970s, Richard "Fritz" Simmons is introduced to the drug trade, by an associate of the Lucchese crime family, one of the five families of La Cosa Nostra (the Mafia). After negotiating a deal with the Medellín Cartel, Fritz becomes New York's Cocaine Consignment King. The lucrative deal unlocks a lavish lifestyle with more money than Fritz's family and Harlem could've imagined. Now, distributing kilos of cocaine on a kingpin level to many well-known Harlem heavyweights, Fritz employs hundreds throughout the five boroughs of New York City and neighboring states. Fritz further extends his generosity in ways few from the community had ever seen. Fritz reigns supreme for over a decade in the drug game, making millions under the radar of the NYPD and he never got busted. Some look at Fritz as the Keyser Soze of the 80s. The most enigmatic drug dealer of that time. HARLEM HOLIDAY brings her readers the inside scoop after almost three-decades of silence, speculation, and secrecy. This biography is the inside story of Fritz never before told; the tale of how a lowly street hustler rises to orchestrate a one-man-syndicate. It's an account of events, as told by Fritz's family and closest friends, and details gathered from newspaper and magazine articles, court transcripts, and social media. Fritz's truth, joy, and despair are fully disclosed, while circumstances surrounding his death still remain a mystery.

It was LA in the year 2O21. A new underground theme park called "The River Styx" had just closed down. "Too many mysterious deaths and unethical methods to get people to visit it," the official inquiry had reported. Only a chosen few had managed to make the dark journey down 'hell's river" before its demise, and Angel would be one of them. It was her obsession about the attraction--and her own mysterious connection to it which finally got him to take the voyage. Looking back, it was that first day in the photo lab, while trying to get the young model's image more metallic on the screen. That's when Angel suddenly appeared to him in the flesh--her face next to his in the blue light of the monitor. So what was it about this girl, he wondered? Why did she so obviously seek him out romantically as one of the few to take that mythological journey? He would only learn those details while navigating the subterranean river with her--an answer to forever disturb his soul?
