Nothing in fictional books or movies will ever match the real-life horror of what humans do to each other. The Red Terror Memorial Museum, in Addis Ababa, depicts the brutality inflicted on Ethiopia's population by the Derg military regime.
A side room of the museum contains actual human remains.
These are just a few of the hundreds of unclaimed bones and skulls that were exhumed from mass graves. May all victims of human cruelty and brutality find peace and rest.

The clown breakfast bowl
A couple months after my visit to the haunted Clown Motel, my aunt gave me this lovely breakfast bowl. She knows me too well.
Apparently, she ate cereal out this fun bowl as a child in the 1950s. Like pretty much everything vintage and clown-themed, it is now scary as hell.

The clown doll with the moving hand
The lobby of the "Clown Motel," in Tonopah, NV, is filled with hundreds of clown figurines. One of them is this life-sized doll.
"I call him 'Mister Creepy,'" the receptionist tells me. "He gives me such a weird feeling when I'm in here alone."
She swears that she has seen his left hand move on its own. Twice.
"I finally put that other doll on top of his hand to keep it from moving. But other employees have told me that it still moves sometimes anyway."
Many guests refuse to look the doll in the eyes. They can't stand to even stand near it for very long.
"We had a professional psychic come through here," the receptionist says. "She told me, 'This doll has something inside it.'"
Mister Creepy and hundreds of his friends await you here in Tonopah. Tonight will be my third night in the Clown Motel.

Journey to the Clown Motel: the beginning
The haunted clown motel.
Located in a remote town in the deserts of Nevada, the entire motel is clown-themed. Clown dolls fill the lobby, and paintings of clowns are in every room.
Some guests say they have seen the silhouette of a clown standing outside their window at night.
As if that wasn't enough, an Old West graveyard lies right next to the motel.
I will be spending the weekend there.
I plan on writing a couple books about my time at the "Clown Motel" of Tonopah, Nevada...if I make it out alive. Stay posted for my frequent updates. You can follow my live posts on social media:
