SUP YOU BEAUTIFUL KOOOOOOOOOOOKS! Question: Just what the hell is up with cornfields? Why are they so creepy and weird? Well, as it turns out, this ain't exactly nothin' new. In fact, they've pretty much ALWAYS been creepy as fuck! Not only that, but they seem to play host a WIDE VARIETY of utterly mind bending high strangeness: cryptids, aliens, ritual occultism, homicide, and some of the creepiest folklore and unsettling urban legends I've ever heard (and I've heard some shit y'all!).
