But today we shall also know him as BIRTHDAY BOY! Happy Birthday Brian. And in order to properly celebrate, we decided to throw you a concert.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes are Coming! The Midnight Society Makeover.

We celebrated something special this year. You probably saw the post, but on March 17, 2018, The Midnight Society turned four years old! So many blogs don't last a year. I remember when I dreamt up the idea, I was certain that no one would care and certainly no one would want to join...I love it when I'm wrong. Currently we have 9 incredible contributors, over 110,000 unique all time views, and a dedicated readership that we so appreciate. To celebrate, we are re-vamping the site. Soon you will notice a new look for The Midnight Society, new events, and a new[...]

Happy 4th Birthday to The Midnight Society! + Giveaway

Our vision was to create a place for creepy photos, real life ghost stories, cemetery visits, horror books, and anything we found lurking in the darkness.   You can see our first post ever here that introduced the Winchester mansion, on St. Patrick's day in 2014. I thought we'd celebrate in a few ways today. One[...]
