In This Magazine Is Haunted #5 (1952), writer Earl Hammer Jr. and artist Myron Fass deliver a chilling tale with "The Slithering Horror of Skontong Swamp!"—a story where four carnival workers seeking cheaper lodgings stumble upon an abandoned house whispered to be haunted by a vengeful spirit. With eerie atmosphere and unsettling tension, the tale unfolds in a remote, oppressive setting, where the past refuses to stay buried. The cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the dread with a haunting, shadowed figure emerging from the swamp’s mist.
