The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum holds the title of world’s most haunted Asylum and that is something to boast about ! Abandoned asylums are by far the creepiest of any stereotyped locations, a creepy ass empty building full of former mental patients… But this location has something a little more than the walking dead. There is said to be something dark here, attracted by all the pain and suffering. With over 9,000 recorded deaths it is not hard to believe.
The Mad Within
600 men and 600 women would be held at one time in the second oldest asylum in the world, over the span of 128 years, 9,000 patients died within the cursed walls. The building closed its doors for good in 1995 after failed attempts of a hotel, conference center and even a university. All of these businesses tried to face the problems after spending a presumably large sum in the shell of the old asylum but they where all driven out by those who still resided within.
In one of the rooms, you will find the signature of J.Kelly, one of more famous ghosts of Beechworth. He was sentenced to 15 years after burning down his sister-in-laws house. When he entered he was thought quite sane but he left a broken man and died in hospital in 1903. He is seen in his old room, striding and banging. In the same room a manical laughter is heard and objects are seen flying across the room before smashing on the wall. Anger ? Or is this pleasure from the fear he inspires.
A Jewish Patient is seen here, she was thrown from the terrace over a pack of cigarettes.Check out the orb captured
The Reaction Hall is one of the most haunted rooms within the building. It was an area where patients would come together and sing or play music even preform from time to time. Two ghosts are seen here constantly. A young girl and an old man. The young girl is heard wailing and scratching at the walls and the old man is seen staring down at passers-by from the window.
The old Matron Sharpe is an active spirit around the dormitories. She is seen walking around the room and rushing up towards people who try and enter.
Tommy Kennedy was murdered in the kitchens when he was working with another patient. People report a tugging sensation or being poked in the ribs. The sound of pots and pans are heard clanging and smashing despite the fact there is no equipment left ! The screams of Tommy are heard, agonising and prolonged.
Little girl saw around the asylum.
The sounds of children giggling and light footsteps are heard all over the building. The building had a huge childrens ward, ofcourse until very recently children were deemed insane when they where acting anything but ” Normal ” and they where treated brutally. Whipped, slapped or kicked. All it took was i slap around the head and an awkward fall and a child would be dead. In alot of old orphanges or aslyums the childrens deaths where often covered up and bodies hidden by evil old women who fed from the suffering of innocent children. In the past resident children were punished for talking to imaginary friends here. We know now that children’s imaginary friends are not always imaginary…
There are alot more intelligently active ghosts here but alot go unnamed. A certain presence or presences here are thought to be alot more than just former patients. All the death, pain and suffering felt here would have easily attracted something darker than the spirit of a little girl. People have enetered the building and been hit with a sudden sickness others have been scratched and bitten. A large black shadow is seen in every part of the bulding, stalking the corridoors, followed by a stench of human feses and with glowing red eyes. The feeling of terror some are said to experience without explanation can only be summed up to something demonic within. Is it possible certain groups have broken in an preformed dark rituals ? It would not be the first time insane asylums have been used for this…

Convicted and Condemed
All it took to be convicted to Beechworth Asylum was a request from a pissed off relative and a signature from a doctor who was not even required to examine you in person, and the majority of patients left in body bags…
By far the most haunted part of the building and most terrifying is the Grevillia wing. It was infamous wing that all patients feared, insane or not. With medication not being introduced until the 1950’s. So if you were called mad the only way to cure you were shackles or straight jackets in a tiny white room with padded walls. Often patients would spend weeks, even months on end in this room. Or electro-shock therapy, you would be strapped down and connected to electric wires, the shock felt throughout the body would have caused ligaments to snap and bones to break. The end result if often permanent brain damage that would normally kill so many brain cells and you would be a vegtable.
The image actually was taken inside Beechworth Asylum…
The Greville wing is by far the most haunted and easily the main part of the building to experience some intense paranormal activity.
All of this is, let’s be honest, shit scary but that is nothing compared to the dark history ignored down in the cellars and more.
Rituals & Necromancy in Beechworth
In some mourges or prisons or aslyumns there is rumour of evil practises being preformed of the corpses of the dead. Removing dead bodies or preparing the coprses for burial or indeed the burial itself were all roles that involved the dead were underpayed jobs and relativley easy work to get. So as you can imagine it attracted some of the stranger members of society. As for the doctors, that profession was diffiucult to get into, incredibly difficult. It would have taken a lot of hard work and dedication so it would have been efficent to certain sociopaths with fasination of human anatomy. So what happens then ?
A doctor begins by testing the bodies reactions or perhaps a person’s mental response to certain treatment and they are fascinated by it, then they begin to reach out further and experiment on the dead bodies, then when that was no longer enough to fulfill there self-proclaimed purpose they turned towards the rumours of necromancy and satanic rituals.
There was whispers of this type of activity taking place in the bowls of Beechworth Asylum and why not ! Acts of this kind always attract those darker things and i understand this sounds a tad wacky but go to places supposedly haunted by demonic creatures and then place judgement. It is not hard to believe that these kinds of acts took place at this location and even less hard to believe that something inhuman is still lurking the abandoned halls of the worlds most haunted asylum.
A terrified woman has recently surfaced about her horrific experiences at home. She claims that she has been followed by the ” Violent ghost of Jack the Ripper!” for four decades. She even sent in a video to support her claim. Check it out below.
Her Story
The women called Gaynor Issit had said that the evil presence in her home has been following her around for as long as she could remember. She claims that the evil presence is, in fact, Jack the Ripper !!, the infamous East End murderer who took the lives of 11 women in 1888, he was never caught. She said his ghost in one of a few in her home.
Apparently, they burn bibles, attack her in her sleep and she has even claimed to have been punched and hit around the head.
Ms Issit said she has to “share the property” in Leicestershire with all of the evil spooks. The house has even been exorcised a few times all of the priests have tried and failed to get rid of the ghosts inside. The women have been dragged from bed a couple times since those ” Life-saving ” exorcisms, as well as being pushed down the stairs.
She claims the September following the exorcisms is when the shiz began to really hit the fan. She claimed that since then her life has been a living nightmare. But she simply refuses to move out, because it’s the house where she has brought up all of her children, which to be honest does not sound to homely.
Some serious paranormal investigators have been in the home since the claims first hit the media, and they agree that her house is amongst the top five most haunted in Britain. A guy called Mark Vernon who has been working within the paranormal world for over 15 years is convinced that one of the spirits involved could easily be the true ghost of Jack the Ripper. ” I feel sorry for what she has had to go through, i have never seen a house with this level of activity”.
Ms Issit has been living at home alone after the poltergeists attacked her husband.He knows lives in a care home following an accident that left him paralysed, he’s 43….
They have dubbed the ghost causing the most harm ” Jack “, he is well known for burning the heads from family photos and furniture. Ms Issit added, ” He has started fires so often that I have to keep buckets of water around the house, he physically attacks me, and I have been left bruised in the past.” ” We have also heard growling noises and my partner has seen the figure of a large man walking around the house, as well as a little girl and old women.” ” We have never spoken to it directly, but we’ve recorded them and they swear and say there going to kill someone in the house.” ” We have learned to just live with it…”
One of the many burned photographs
It would seem to us after seeing countless cases like this, that this is without a doubt the work of something inhuman. Fires, scratching, growling, attacks, death threats, they all sum up to the same cause. Perhaps Jack the Ripper is here also but this is the primary work of something demonic…
The Yucca man is one of the most disputed mysteries in California today. For a long time, this yellowish figure has been spotted throughout the Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California since 1973. Some say it’s Joshua Tree’s very own bigfoot, others claim it’s a spectre roaming the dry plains of the national park. Ofcourse, this could just be a hoax, but then a simple hoax has attracted the attention of both the FBI and the CIA.
The First Sightings
The first sighting of the Yucca man was reported in 1971, it came from a man who was dead set against anything paranormal. An on-duty Marine guard at the nearby military base of Twentynine Palms was found later in the same area with his rifle bent in half. He was in shock so to draw any information out of him was near impossible, but he did manage to inform his fellow officers that a huge man had come out of the shrub and towards him. He raised his rifle and ordered the man to halt but as he drew closer, he realised the man was covered in hair. The figure then moved too quickly for the man to react, he took the rifle from the Marine, bent it in half and then knocked the officer out.
Both the FBI and the CIA immediately begun an investigation. There have been at least two other sightings of similar figures in the same night. One agent reported a figure being 12ft tall with a smaller figure alongside. Hikers in the area also reported there dogs going mad and barking at a strange presence in the area. In the same year, there were also numerous reports from a lot of the Joshua Park employees.
The Reports Continue
The reports of the Yucca man continued to come in, one, especially in 1979, came from an elderly couple. They claimed their car was stopped one night by a large hairy man near the Condominium in Desert Hot Springs. They said that he stepped out from behind a yucca bush and stood over the front of their car. They described him and being monumental, with a chest the size of a refrigerator, its arms dangling below its knees. It had long tan hair and an angry expression. It stopped in front of the car, looked at those inside and then vanished into the night.
Later evidence would be found in the form of 17 footprints that the creature had left behind. He would be seen on two separate occasions in two nearby areas. The footprints were a foot and a half long and six feet apart… Bigfoot fanatics would later stake out the area but find nothing else.
The Yucca Man Photo
Later on, towards the 1990’s the legend began to fade… Until a rock climber returned from a camping trip in Joshua Tree and he found something in his photographs later on, something that would shock the world. The campsite had been near a kind of cave, an ideal location for such a creature to live and he snapped a photo of the trail to his camp, he captured the figure above and created a new uproar in the paranormal community. The Yucca Man is here !!!
The Yucca man could easily be an urban legend, a training exercise for the marines, a paranormal creature, something that travels between dimensions, or simply a huge and hairy homeless man. We will only find out when man has developed sufficient technology to detect such creatures and then, just maybe, we can begin to understand them.

Witchcraft is something that will be remembered in English and American history perhaps until the end of days. Whenever we look at haunted locations or ghosts, we see some pretty fudged up locations. But the most fucked up locations are always linked to demonic activity and witchcraft. Sometimes they come hand in hand. We have found some of the most infamous witches in history, and we have found where they haunt!
Madame Lalaurie
Madame Lalaurie is defiantly the best known of this sinister bunch, thanks to American Horror Story. The character she played was one of pure evil. But unlike Hollywood, they played it down ! Madame Lalaurie was a black-hearted woman. She was and is famous for the brutal treatment of her slaves. Dr Louis Lalaurie and his wife, Delphine ( Madame Laurie) moved in the Creole mansion in 1832. For a long time, they were well respected for their wealth and social status. She was considered one of the most intelligent and beautiful women in the city. But behind closed doors, she cold-blooded and possibly insane.
She kept her cook chained to the fireplace in the kitchen, where he would only be unchained to cook, nothing less than perfect meals. A lot of slaves were treated much worse than this. This cruelty, however, were happening in a certain period when the brutal treatment of slaves was illegal. The police were called many times, but Madame Lalaurie was always ready and she was not caught for a long time. Until one day a fire broke out in the kitchens said to be started by the cook.
When the fire was put out, the firefighters found something behind a barred door in the attic that would reveal this devious bitch for who she really was. They found more than a dozen slaves here, chained to the walls in a disgusting state. Somewhere strapped to makeshift operating tables, somewhere confined in cages made for dogs, human body parts were scattered around the room, human heads and organs were crammed into buckets, and on the shelves next to them, a collection of whips and paddles.
According to the newspaper, the New Orleans Bee, all of her victims were naked and the ones not chained to tables where chained to the walls. Some of the women had their stomach’s sliced open,their intestines pulled out and then wrapped around their waist. One woman had her mouth stuffed with animal shit and her lips sewn shut. The state the men were left in was even more horrific. Private parts had been sliced off, eyes poked out, one man even had a small hole in the top of his head, used to stir his brains. Somewhere even still alive, one woman, in particular, had all of her limbs broken in order to be forced into a tiny cage. There was also rumour of pentagrams and other strange symbols scattered around the room , drawn in the servant’s blood. This was a time where witchcraft was wildly feared, so mention of her demonic activities would have been hushed up and they were hard to find !
The Madame and her husband fled, following the gathering of a vicious mob outside of the mansion. There were rumours of her fleeing to Paris but this was never proven.
She returned to the house many years later, in the form of a spirit. She is seen often in her house of horror. She has been seen around the house accompanied by the screams of her victims. The house has been plagued by mysterious deaths and occurrences since then. Black people, especially have been affected more than any other, on one occasion a young black girl, who went to school in the former torture house had huge and bloody whip marks on her back. People are attacked a lot in this sinister mansion but who can say what is really here… Is it the madame still roaming her former home, the slaves trapped in the place where they suffered so much, or is it something else completely, something summoned by the inhuman activities of Madame Lalaurie.
The Bell Witch - The Bell Cave
The Bell Witch is one of the most well-known hauntings in American history, and the Bell Witch herself is one of the most famous Witches in the world. She was an evil entity that tormented an American family between 1817 and 1821, to this day it is called ” America’s Greatest Haunting “.
The story begins with a man called John Bell in 1817 when he spotted a strange animal sitting in his field. It was the size of a dog, with the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit, with thick black fur and piercing red eyes. When Mr Bell began to shoot, it vanished on the spot. That very evening they were plagued by activity. There was a beating on the front door, it sounded like someone banging on the door to be let it, this carried on for the entire night. It wasn’t long until the Bell Witch began to show her true self.
She would rip the covers from the sleeping family and slap them in the face repeatedly during the course of the day. Then they began to hear what sound like faint whispers and an old woman singing rhymes in an unfamiliar tongue. Over time the voice became stronger, eventually what she was saying became easily distinguishable, it sang hymns, quoted scripture and even replied intelligently to question.
The haunting went on for a long time, it attracted the investigations of the military and they only lasted one night before the soldiers would be seen fleeing from their tents in the dead of night. She then killed a member of the family with a poison they found in the medicine cabinet and proclaimed ” I gave Ol’ Jack a big dose of that last night which fixed him!”.
Almost 200 years later, the witch still haunts the land and caves below. The faint sounds of people talking and children playing can be heard and candle lights dance through in the fields in the black of night. There is a lot of evidence captured here gathered through photography. Including what looks like apparitions of an old woman, hunched over with wild hair… Is this the Bell Witch herself or just another trick of the light?
Elizabeth Demdike - Pendle Hill
Pendle Hill, is perhaps, the most haunted location in the Uk. It is an entire hill infested with the spirits of witches and some say demons. The activity here is matched by very few places in the world.
People when calling out or provoking on the hill have been psychically harmed. Some have been scratched, burned and slapped. One man actually had a pestle thrown at his head, nobody knew where it came from ! Another group heard a sharp click hitting the altar on the top of the hill, only to find a human tooth had been thrown at them ! The locals down in the village refuse to even speak about the ghosts on the hill.
It is said that up on the hill there are 9 witches in total, all lead by the legendary Elizabeth Summers aka. Elizabeth Demdike. There Demdike family were all heavily involved in satanism and witchcraft. All of them were eventually caught and hung. But not before they successfully called a demon that they named Tibb. Tibb came in the shape of a boy with a thick coat of fur, half black, half brown.
Elizabeth took great care in raising her family and teaching them witchcraft of the darkest kind. She lived in the Pendle Forest which is also insanely haunted. Following the hanging of Elizabeth and her family she proclaimed that they would be back, along with their master Tibb. It would seem that is just the case. A very dangerous location but well worth a visit .
George Pickingill - The Village of Canewdon
The village of Canewdon is almost unheard of, but is known locally as the Village of Witches ! There is a tonne of mystery and legend surround this little village and in particular the church. One of which states ” If you run around the church 3 times, anti-clockwise, the devil will appear”. There were a lot of people here sentenced with witchcraft, but there was one guy who put Canewdon on the map for witchcraft, George Pickingill.
George was well known for practising Arabic Mysticism, Christian Heresy, Danish Paganism and French Witchcraft. He famously wrote the Pickingpill Papers, which covered the history and anthropology of Wicca. He also created nine covens in Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Sussex. He controlled all of them… If that wasn’t enough he was also able to summon all of his witches with a wooden whistle ! Lefebure wrote that Pikingill had close relations with the Devil and he had sold him his soul.
He is thought to be the man seen lurking around Canewdon’s churchyard, and causing harm to people there. Both mentally and psychically. But he is not the only ghost of Canewdon.
There is also a woman seen dancing, naked in the night. She is normally spotted, again, around the churchyard. As well as a faceless grey lady in a poke bonnet. The faceless lady is seen floating from the graveyard down towards the River Crouch. Some have seen her even crossing the water and it looks like she is walking directly upon it.
Doubtless Canewdon is one of the most haunted locations in Great Britain. But who is causing the most harm here ? The ringleader George Pickingill or is it one of his many witches ?
Isobel Gowdie - Auldearn
At Auldearn, in Scotland, many have been disturbed by the sight of a spectral old woman believed to be the ghost of Isobel Gowdie. Isobel was a Scottish woman who was tried for Witchcraft in 1662. Her detailed confession was given freely, without the use of torture, gave a detailed insight into European witchcraft folklore at the end of the era of witch-hunts.
Her confession was pretty insane and explained the deeds of her coven. They could apparently transform into animals. She explained to turn into a hare, she would chant : “I shall go into a hare, with sorrow and sych and meikle care, and I shall go in the Devil’s name, ay while I come home again.” She also claimed to be close to the Queen of the Fairies, known as the Queen of Elphame, in her home under the hills. As well as she and her coven having a cardinal knowledge of the Devil who walked amongst them.
There is no record of Isobel really doing any harm to people, or being executed. Little is known about what happened following her trail. But witchcraft is known to involve death and torture… So to suggest she was able to summon some form of a demon by simply chanting some words, or ” turn into a hare” without first giving something substantial to her dark lord seems a bit off. But history is not always correct.
She is seen around Aulderan, in the form of a ‘Green Lady’. The area around Dead Man’s Wood is said to be most active with her spirit. Like most other dark locations, people are being mentally disturbed as well as psychically harmed. This could be the ghost of Isobel, she is seen here. Floating along in her long earthen green dress. But it could also be something that came through from the other side. Invited through by the activities of these evil women.
50 Berkeley Square has the most horrific ghost stories out of any location in Greater London. To this day police notice stands on the wall inside of 50 Berkeley Square proclaiming that the upper levels are forbidden to guests and owners alike. Following a string of strange deaths and rumours of conjuration and satanic worship inside it stands today as London’s most haunted and mysterious location.
Building a Legend
50 Berkeley Square is situated in one of the most influential parts of London called Mayfair.It was designed and then built by William Kent during the late 18th century. Almost immediately after its doors opened to tenants the residents of Berkeley Square began to tell tales of mysterious residents and then they saw the proof, when a young woman called Adeline jumped from the top floor window to escape her abusive uncle. She has been seen ever since throwing herself out of the window again and again.
Then there was Mr. Dupre… Mr. Dupre kept his mad brother locked on the upper floor of the building and fed him through a hole in the door. A little girl has been seen around the building since that day and it is thought that she was put in the locked room with the insane sibling, nobody knows what he did to her but the end result is obvious.
The Haunting Begins
The first long-term resident of 50 Berkeley Square was former Prime Minister George Canning, who lived there until the day he died in 1827. He was the first person to experience activity within the house in the form of inexplicable sounds and horrific nightmares. Following his death
Following his death, a few people moved in and out of the house through the 1850’s. But this seemed to awaken whatever was lying dormant within the property, this thing showed itself for the first time when a maid was spending the night alone on the top floor. She was found there, screaming, her face twisted with fear. She survived but never left the sanatorium.
After this incident, rumours began to circulate around London. This was a time where the paranormal was something of a phenomenon and incredibly popular, even Charles Dickens himself took interest in the house.
An advert was published in the local newspaper stating that only the bravest men could spend the night in 50 Berkely Square. So, of course, one stood up and claimed he had no fear. They set up a bell system in the house so that the man could ring once for fear and two rings for help. The man went to sleep. About 15 minutes later the bell starting ringing frantically, he was found rigid, with a look of horror etched into his face and dead. For a while following this, a little old lady called Miss Curzon bought the house and she lived the last of her few years in the luxury townhouse.
The Monster Inside
After a short while the house came back to market. It was purchased by a Viscount Bearsted who in turn leased it to a youth named Mr Myers who was on the verge of marriage. After the unexpected death of his bride to be, Mr Myers locked himself into isolation in the townhouse he had furnished so beautifully for her. But in his isolation, he got into some messed up shiz.
The neighbours would report seeing him walking, as if with no soul, from window to window, room to room. It is unclear what exactly happened to him, but there is strong evidence that he tried all manner of experiments to get back in touch with his lost love. Including satanic worship, which woke something that had previously lay dormant.
Mr. Myers disappeared. No-one even saw him leave. But he was gone. In 1872 an aristocrat decided to stay the night in London’s most sinister townhouse with his trusted shotgun. He claimed that a mass of brown tentacles shot out at him from the shadow and he shot, but there was no trace of the monster.
In 1873 the local council summoned the owners of 5o Berkeley Square over back taxes. Neither the viscount or Bearsted turned up. They had both disappeared, the townhouses reputation led to the council dropping the charged and the building, once again, lay dormant. During this period, the neighbours called out the police numerous times, with complaints of screaming, the sound of furniture being dragged, windows slamming, and the sound of bells ringing, despite the fact all of the bells had been removed. All coming from the shell of 50 Berkely Square.
1879 after being dormant for 6 years, London’s most haunted house was purchased by a man with two teenage daughters. When they moved in the eldest daughter claimed that the house smelled like zoo animals in a cage. Two days later as the top floor bedrooms for where prepared for the arrival of her betrothed , the maid was found collapsed and in hysterics in the guest room. She was crying ” Don’t let it touch me” over and over and over, all the way to the sanitarium.
The Captain arrived late, and somehow he ended up in the basement. The family could not find him for over an hour until screams were heard, followed by gunshots. He was found like the others petrified and dead. The Mayfair Magazine wrote about the entire affair and dubbed the creature the Nameless Horror. 50 Berkeley Square’s Nameless Horror soon became known throughout the world.
A Conclusion
By the late 19th century the house had been abandoned and vanished from the public eye. But it wasn’t the last time it would kill. On Christmas Eve 1887, two sailors on leave from the HMS Penelope were looking for a place to spend the night after partying. The two of them stumbled on 50 Berkeley Square and settled into one of the upper bedrooms. At some time, during the night, one of the sailors were awoken by heavy footsteps before the ghost of Myers entered the room. The other sailor awoke to his fellow sailor ensnared by tentacles and ran from the room. When he returned with the authorities they discovered the man lying dead.
Since then an elderly couple have owned the house and turned it into an antique bookstore. They absolutely refused to acknowledge claims of the haunting. But they still never went upstairs.
The bookstore was recently closed and the new owners report objects being thrown around and a strange brown mist seen floating around the premises. Perhaps now it will be possible to investigate the building, all we can do is try. But a notice still stands on the door from the 1800’s stating that the top floors of 50 Berkeley Square are not to be used by anyone for any reason. That includes the actual owners of the buildings themselves…
In the year 1986 human kind saw one of its worst nuclear disasters to date. An event that killed 31 people but had long term affects on over 500,000. As horrific as this event is, there is something else around this abandon town, something that even the military began to take notice of. People have reported seeing the ghosts of those who died here still roaming, but what about Chernobyl’s Blackbird ?
The Blackbird
The year before Chernobyl’s power plant blew in 1968 the people working and living in Chernobyl began to report strange events. Sightings of a strange creature, described to have huge and thick black, it was said to be a bird like creature with the body of a man, colossal black wings that stretched over 20ft, no head and glowing red eyes coming from the pit where its neck should have begun. 
People who had actually seen the Blackbird began to suffer from horrific nightmares, they received threatening phone calls and some had more encounters with the winged beast. Reports of the beast continued to increase until the morning of April 26th, 1986. 1.23am reactor No.4 at the Chernobyl power plant exploded in the former Soviet Union.
The Powerplant suffered a cataclysmic steam explosion that began a chain of events that resulted in a nuclear meltdown. The power plant then regurgitated a world changing amount of radioactive fallout. The fallout spread over parts of the Western Soviet Union, Eastern & Western Europe, Scandanavia, the Uk, Ireland and North Merica within 48 hours.
reactor 4 following the explosion.
When the firefighters arrived and attempted to flight the flame over 500 people reported seeing this winged creature swirling in and out of the rising black smoke. No further sightings of the Blackbird were reported that day. However this is not the only time in history this being has been reported.
The Mothman
The ” Mothman ” has been seen for thousands of years. It is an omen of death and disaster and it’s description matches perfectly with the Blackbird. It has been noticed more and more throughout history especially in more recent times where we find it easier to connect with other people and hear their stories from around the world.
One of the best-known accounts of the Mothman apart from Chernobyl occurred in the old West Virginia Ordnance, an area known as ” TNT Area”
The TNT Area dates back to WWII. The facility during its operation manufactured ammunition and dynamite. It is mainly a large woodland area but it is riddled with little concrete igloo like buildings that hold large amounts of TNT. It is also a maze of underground tunnels with random storage units of gunpowder. Most of which, these days are flooded or have been sealed off.
In 1979, the fisherman in the area reported that chemicals that been left in the water of the TNT area. It was unchecked for so long that by 1983 it became an environmental disaster and the area became one of the most polluted in America. It was here on November 15th, 1966, that two young couples would encounter this strange creature. These two young couples were taking a cross country trip in a black chevy. It was the youngest female, Linda who noticed the creature first. She saw two glowing red eyes in the darkness beside the old power plant. They quickly noticed that the eyes belong to a human looking 7ft tall, black figure. Obviously, they drove off and to their horror, it followed. The creature spread its wings and chased them down Highway 62 at speeds over 100mph.
one of the abandoned TNT area’s gunpowder containers.
They arrived in town and felt stupid, they began to try and make some sense of what just happened. They settled on the fact that this was just a large bird… So they returned to face their fears. It wasn’t long until the Black Bird showed itself again, apparently, it was waiting for them on Route 62. They quickly realised this was no bird and it stood in the shape of a man. It shot up vertically into the air at an impossible speed and disappeared above the tree line.
They returned to town, in shock to report the story to the sheriff. The story actually made headlines ; ” Couple sees man-sized, bird…Creature…Something”. It was a disturbing experience for all. Linda the youngest female who first encountered the Mothman suffered a nervous breakdown in later years, but it is common for those who have encountered this beast to suffer in such ways.
Continued Sightings
The creature would be seen throughout the next thirteen months in Point Pleasant. There was roughly over 100 sightings around this time. The Mothman was seen so much that it took the attention of the government to a point where witnesses were being harassed by the Men in Black, they were warned not to speak out about this creature. I think that proves that fact that something paranormal was occurring in the area. The sightings all seemed to arise just before the collapse of The Silver Bridge in that area.
There have been soooooooo many sightings around the modern world of this creature and it is always followed by disaster. It was recently seen in Freiburg Germany, where a Mothman-like creature chased miners away shortly before a collapse. There was also multiple sightings around the Minnesota Bridge collapse time and even before and after 9/11…
The Legend Goes On
Mothman sightings have been associated at least two other cryptids. Thunderbirds with grey bodies and red eyes were sighting in the same area and at the same time as the Silver Bridge incident. Owlman is also an identical creature with black wings and red eyes in Cornwall.
Two legends from Shawnee Indian lore mention creatures identical to Mothman deemed Misignwa and Waupee.
Some believe the Mothman is an Angel, Demon or the product of a blood curse. In our experience looking at these things we find demon like creatures always seem to have the glowing red eyes and appear and large black figures. But what is this Blackbird, Mothman, Owlman Misignwa. There is no doubt it exists, there are just too many reports around the world of this creature. But is it an Omen of Death ? An Angel that warns those who are in danger by appearing ? Only further investigation can tell us more. Soon we will be heading down to Cornwall in hunt of the Owlman himself, so keep an eye on the facebook page you can find on the sidebar. We will solve this mystery.

Pluckley Village, Kent has been called the UK’s most haunted village, with over 15 active spirits and not all of them friendly. But the woods next to this village is what caught our attention. Pluckley’s ancient screaming wood. But what is screaming ?
Pluckley Village & Forest
The legend of the screaming woods began when the Guinness Book of Records published that Pluckley was Britain’s most haunted village. The village itself is haunted by more than twelve ghosts, but some say it may even be forty… That would surprise anyone who has a knowledge of the history of the area. It is a place of death.
But then, people slowly people began to turn their attention to the adjacent Dering Woods. This forest is inexplicably active. So many reports started flooding in of ear-splitting screams coming from within the forest, both day and night. There are also shadows that are well known for following those across the forest who have the balls to enter.
It has been suggested that the most prevalent spirits within the forest are those of an 18th century Colonel who killed himself in the shrub, as well as a highwayman who was captured by the local villagers during the 18th century, nailed to a tree and then had his head cut off…
Funny enough, similar to the Ballybolly forest this site is home to one of the world’s oldest Neolithic sites. Is it possible that these sites are giving off some strange kind of energy acting as a fuel for these ghosts to act out ? It’s a theory, but isn’t that how facts are created?
The Ghost’s Seen at Pluckley
There have been over forty, yes forty ! different ghosts are seen at Pluckley, both within the forest and the village. All of them are active, but not in the kind of way that you would see on most haunted. We are talking smashing objects against the wall, following you around the location, blood-curdling screams, and psychical attacks and attachments. There are a few who have been identified and here are their stories.
The Hanging Colonel
In an area of the adjacent forest called Park Wood, there is an old army Colonel seen marching around the forest. He committed Suicide by hanging himself from a tree. People have seen this guy hanging from a tree and walking up behind them. He has been seen been a sad expression and sometimes he has even reached out to visitors to the forest, is it possible he is trapped like so many others in the forest ?
The Ghostly Highwayman
Along the Smarden Bell Road, there is a junction that has been dubbed Fright Corner. He was taken and killed by angry villagers, who were tired of his killing and stealing. They took him to the forest, nailed him to a tree and took off his head…
His screams are said to be part of the horrific symphony that gives the screaming woods its name. But that’s not all, he is actually known to jump out from behind trees and terrify hikers ! That is not alike anything else we have heard before, and it is fudged up.
The Miller
In the village of Pluckley, there was an old wooden windmill that dated back to the 19th century. In 1939, lightning struck, it burned and eventually crumbled.
The old miller called Richard ‘Dicky’ Buss hung himself after the loss of his business. People have seen this spirit standing, with empty eyes simply staring at the spot where his old mill once stood. Some even say that during a lightning storm he is seen hanging…
The Phantom Monk
On the edge of the village, there is a large white house called Greystones. The house itself was built around 1863 when it was originally called Rectory Cottage. This is the domain of the Phantom Monk. He is often seen around and within the house, he is best known for being the cause of avid poltergeist activity within.
The Tudor Lady
Near to the Greystones, is another tiny cottage, Rose Court Cottage. It is well known for being haunted by Pluckley’s Tudor Lady. Legend tells us that she was friends with the monk mentioned above, possibly even a secret love affair.
Following his death, she also committed suicide by drinking a potion made up of some poisonous ivy berries taken from the forest. *Starting to see the pattern yet? She is seen walking around the grounds surrounding the cottage, sometimes even with her two faithful pooches.
The Dering Arms
One of the oldest buildings within Pluckley village. It dates back to the 1840’s and it was used as a hunting lodge serving the Dering Estate. Today it is a B&B;, and one of the most haunted in the world.
There is a lot of poltergeist activity within, chairs scrape along the floor, footsteps are heard banging up the stairs and objects are pushed off the bar to smash on the floor. But what unsettles guests most of all is the old lady seen sitting by the window. She is said to wear a Tudor period style dress with a bonnet. She is known to be seen sitting in a chair by the window and then simply vanish into thin air.
The Headless Coachman
What ghost story would be complete without the Headless Horseman? Well, this one has been seen around the village. He has been seen driving a black carriage led by 4 cryptic black horses. The ghostly vehicle is seen mainly on Maltman’s Hill, but also around the village a lot.
The Screaming Man
In the 19th century, a man died after falling into a clay pit at the old brickworks. He is heard screaming through the night. This, of course, is only residual but still creepy af all the same.
The White Lady
Along the street in the village, the 13th-century church stands out more than any other building. The churchyard holds the Dering family vault and inside the church itself people have seen a white lady, she has been described as young and beautiful.
The Red Lady
The Churchyard is also haunted by the Red Lady. She is thought to be the ghost of Lady Dering who the child was stillborn. She is seen around an unmarked grave. She herself was buried at the top end of the church those placed on top of her tombstone.
Both she and the White Lady are seen in and around the church, and when they are not seen they are heard. Clicking footsteps are heard within the church, they sound like someone walking in high heels…
The White Dog
This one is awesome. There is actually a white dog seen around the church. It looks like a pretty normal dog with white hair. It follows people into the church, sits with them, some have even stroked him. He is also seen sitting and staring straight forward from the church.
Later, when guests have asked the priest about the dog. He has revealed that the dog has been seen around the area for hundreds of years, he used to belong to a former priest who worked in the church. That fits with the fact that the dog is known to disappear. Even sometimes whilst being stroked.
The Hanging Schoolmaster
Dicky Buss Lane is haunted by the ghost of a schoolmaster who committed suicide there by hanging himself from a nearby tree. He did this just after the WWI. The children actually found him hanging on their way to school.
He is seen today, hanging from that same tree dressed in a frock coat and striped trousers…
The Watercress Woman
Just next to the Pinnock Bridge, a misty pink apparition has been seen. The locals tell tales of an old gypsy woman who used to sell watercress by the road and harvested from the fields just next to the road itself.
She died when she fell asleep smoking her old pipe. The embers from her pipe fell onto her straw bed, and she burnt to death.
The Black Horse Pub
In the center of the village is its most haunted building. The Black Horse dates back to the 1470’s when it was a dry-moated farmhouse for the Dering family.
The spirit responsible is thought to be a little girl called Jessie. She is well known for hiding people clothes from them and smashing pint glasses on the floor, in the bar area.
The Screaming woods is an awesome location, they even do nights where you can brave it out in a tent. it is definitely worth a shot, if you don’t believe in ghosts go stay a night there and then see what you believe.
Some things simply just don’t make sense. Some people try to explain them with different, intricate explanations. You see some lights in the sky, upload it to youtube, someone is always going to say ” It’s just a plane”. But what happens when there is no explanation, and all people can say is ” It’s a Hoax”. You can believe what you chose to believe, that’s all good. But if there is proof that this event did happen like the Malaysian airline and there is still NO reasonable explanation for it, what then ? We have listed 3 of the greatest unsolved paranormal mysteries on planet earth.
The Ourang Medan Ghost Ship
The tales of ghost ships out on the sea have haunted sailors, fisherman, and merchants for hundreds of years. Passed down through generations to warn their successors of the untold dangers of the sea. The Flying Dutchman is the most famous ghost ship. But there is another more modern tale, but this one is true. The Ourang Medan ghost ship is an incredible phenomenon and it has been recorded.
In June 1947, multiple ships traveling across the trade routes of the straits of malacca, which is located between the shores of Sumatra and Malaysia, began to pick up a series of SOS signals. The mysterious ships message was grim and simple : ” All officers, including captain, are dead, lying in chartroom and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead”. This would then be followed by a burst of indecipherable Morse code, then the final message : ” I die.” Then it would end with silence.
The SS. Ourang Medan.
The two ships that received the distress signal were American as well as listening posts belonging to British and Dutch. They eventually deduced that the signal was coming from a ship called the SS Ourang Medan, which at the time, was navigating the straits of Malacca. The conscripted American merchant ship called the Silver Star was closest to the presumed location. It took only a few hours to locate the ship, the SS Ourang Medan was rising and falling in the rough waters of the Malacca Straight. When they tried to communicate with the lost ship, there was no reply. So they left the safety of the Silver Star and prepared to board, with no idea they were about to walk into a living nightmare.
As soon as the American crew boarded, they realized the distress calls were not overexaggerate. The deck was literally littered with corpses. There eyes where wild with fear, their arms were grasping at unseen assailants, their faces were twisted into horrific visages of agony and fear. Even the ship’s dog was dead, its face still curled into a defense snarl. The Captain was also exactly where the mysterious message said he would be, with his officers were scattered across the wheelhouse and chartroom. The last body they found was that of the communications officer, he was as dead as his crew, face just as twisted with fear and his finger still resting on the telegraph. All of the corpses had the same expression of fear.
The Demise of the SS Ourang Medan.
The Captain of the Silver Star ordered that his crew was to toe the ghost ship to the shore, so its crew could be buried properly. However, whatever else was onboard that ship disagreed. Almost as quickly as the crew and attached the toe rope, the SS Ourang Medan exploded…
The crew watched in amazement as the ship sunk to the depths of the ocean, with the ship went its crew… Later on, when reporting the ship’s destruction and the death of its crew, the Captain of the Silver Star was informed that the ship never existed. A true ghost ship… There are some awesome theories on what it could have been, or what the cause could have been, you can check them out at Mysterious Universe.
Dyatlov Pass Incident
The story that has baffled the world for over 50 years. The legend begins in the deep mid-winter of 1958. A Group of students decided to take a trip, all of whom were experienced hikers and skiers. They went through the Otorten Mountains in the Northen Urals. Just as the terrain became more inhospitable than ever, one of the group turned back due to illness, he was the last person to see his companions alive.
One of the last photos of the Russian hikers.
Two weeks went by and there had been no word from any of the group. So a low ranking USSR officer received a phone call and he is instructed to lead a team to find the missing hikers. He and his team took a helicopter to the exposed side of the Otorten Mountain ( Death Mountain ), and they eventually come across a tent, half buried in fallen snow. So they land and discover the tent is empty…
Nothing even looked disturbed or out of place, what struck the crew, however, was that all of the group’s outdoor gear was still inside the tent. With the nearest town being miles away and the temperatures being below -30 in the night was reason could they have !? They soon discovered footprints leading from the tent and down the mountain face, shortly followed by the first body.
Some of the corpses found.
The Footprints, first of all, told the investigating crew that the crew had fled in the night, some of them barefoot and the side of the tent had been cut open, from the inside. The majority of the bodies themselves had injuries such a fractured skulls and ribs, injuries induced by impact from a blunt object. The team later found signs of radiation and a final cryptic photo of the crew…
This event had been unanswered for decades. Easy to say it was a bunch of murders or crazy people in the mountains, but radiation ? For some possible answers check out The Dead Mountain Book.
The Green Children of Woolpit
The Children of Woolpit is an ancient account, dating right back to the 12th century. The town from which the story originates still has a sign, with the villages name with the two green children above. It tells us of two children that appeared on the edge of a small English village called Woolpit. There was a young boy and girl who both had dark green skin and wore clothes made from a strange material, and their speech was an unknown language . They were taken into the village and later into the home of a local landowner, Sir Richard de Caine Wilkes.
The children refused to eat any of the local food despite the fact they looked starving until they were brought harvested beans. They survived on just beans for 4 months until they tasted bread.
The children began to integrate with the village and villagers, but they both became sick. The boy died shortly after but the girl survived. She later learned the language and even grew old enough to marry a man at King’s Lynn, in the county of Norfolk. Legend tells us that she took the name ‘Agnes Barre’ and the man she married was an ambassador of Henry II. But most incredibly she relayed the story of her and her brother’s origins.
She reported that they both came from the ” Land of Saint Martin”, where there was no sun, but a constant twilight and all who lived there were green. She also described another land that could be seen from across from the river. The siblings were looking after their father’s flock when they found a cave. After entering they wandered, lost for a long time until they came out of the other side and were blinded by the sun. It was then they were found by the villagers.
There is a lot and i mean ALOT of speculation around this paranormal mystery and some pretty crazy explanations that make sense. For more check out Myths.e
There is an old mansion in Pittsburgh, America that have been forgotten. A location lost to history, but the stories that originated from the events that took place in Congelier Mansion will never die.
When you think of the most haunted houses around the world, instantly certain places spring to mind like ; The Amytivalle Horror House, or the Exorcist House maybe the Enfield Poltergeist house in the UK. That’s all because of the storm of media attention these places have attracted over the years. With their own movies, documentaries etc…. The former residents are practically celebrities . But what happens to the locations that have terrified resident after resident, terrified them to a point that they refused to remember. This is Congelier Mansion and this is one of the most brutally haunted locations on the planet.
The Congelier Origin
Congelier Mansion was built on 1129 Ridge Ave during the 1960’s, in Pittsburgh’s Northside. Charles Congelier was the man who built his dream mansion, he lived there with his wife Lyda and their maid Essie. Charles has made his fortune as a direct result of the Civil War and settled in Pittsburgh, which at the time was a booming industrial industry, ” happy families ” did not last long…
Lyda found her husband in bed with Essie the maid. She calmly walked to the kitchen picked up two knives, went back into the bedroom and slaughtered her unfaithful husband and his lover. She was found three days later sitting in an armchair in the parlor with her husband’s severed head on her lap.
Industrial Pittsburgh in the 1800’s.
Dr. Adolph C, Brunrichter
After the murders the house lay abandoned for many years. The neighbors, however, called the police a lot of times during those years, because they thought they saw or heard vagrants moving around in the house, the police never found anyone there and the house would still be locked.
In 1892 the house was purchased by a railroad company, who had planned to turn it into housing for their staff. That was short lived. After several workers refused to stay because of strange noises and seeing something in the house, the company put it up for sale and it lay, once again abandoned until the 1900’s.
Then the mad Doctor, Adolph C Brunrichter bought the house. He was known for being strange and elusive, he rarely left his home. The house remained resolute and silent, nobody knew what he was up to, or if she was just a quiet man..
On August 12th, 1901 the neighbors called the police after they heard a women’s scream and saw the lights flickering in the house. The police arrived to find the decapitated corpse of a young lady, and the doctor had vanished…
But that was nothing compared to what the police found next. They discovered a hidden laboratory in the basement with even more body parts and even more human heads. Turns out he was trying to keep the severed heads alive…
The doctor disappeared, for over 30 years. Then a strange man in New york was drunk and he claimed to have conducted strange experiments in Pittsburgh. Police actually released him and deemed him drunk, but harmless. He was never heard from again…
A Place for Ghosts
Throughout the mansion’s evil rise, which only seemed to increase with each new tenant, the house became a kind of home for ghosts. It became quite famous in the local area for ghost busting enthusiasts, even Thomas Edison had investigated the building at one point.The investigators or daring visitors all had strange accounts in the house, but they agreed on one thing more than any other, this house is home to something evil…
It lay dormant again for many years until it as finally purchased by the Equitable Gas Company, to be converted, once again in living quarters for their workers. The house by this period, however, was a completely different animal. Workers reported the usual activity, such as ; the bumps and bangs, strange voices, inexplicable lights, etc… It was kind of liveable until two builders were found dead in the basement…
The company moved the men out of the building quickly and stayed in the area until November 1927, when a gas explosion killed 27 people and injured over 500. The house itself was wiped out. The police never found any signs of harm on the bodies of the two men found in the basement, like they just dropped dead, also, there was no cause found for the explosion…
Ever since the house was demolished, people have been reported strange and disturbing events in the surround homes and area. Some even went as far to say and they had seen or been visited by the devil himself, which earned this location of the nickname of ” The House The Devil Built”.
There are ghost stories dating back thousands of years BC. People have been telling of their paranormal encounters for generations and there are hundred´s of thousands of them out there right now, yet people still think its fake ? Fake or not there’s nothing to get the goosebumps going like a good old ghost story. Here are the six of the creepiest ones that we could find. Enjoy !
Laughter In The Middle Of The Night
When I was a child, I lived in an old Victorian house, and I would always hear laughing while I was trying to sleep. I was an only child with a single mother, and when I was about 5-6, I would wake up hearing laughter in the hallway in the middle of the night. After mentioning this to my mum, she swore it was probably just the TV being left on late.
One night, I awoke to hear the laughter in my room. I went to sit up but felt like there was someone holding my shoulders down, invisible hands gripping into my shoulders while I heard laughing. I screamed my little heart out. My mum ran into my room, flicking on the bedside lamp, convincing me it was just a dream until I said: “but my shoulders hurt.” She lifted up my t-shirt and there were two adult-sized hand prints on my shoulders.
I honestly thought I had imagined it and that it had never happened, but the other day I mentioned it in passing to my mum and she went blanket white and said: “I don’t want to remember that.”

” I Was Never Outside”
This isn’t my story, so it takes away from the horror factor a bit, but it’s from a good friend that I know doesn’t make shit up.
His story happens when he was about 8. He was playing hide and seek with his friend at his house, it was late… Probably about 10ish. It’s my friends turn to find his friend. He’s looking everywhere around the house, but he can’t seem to find him anywhere. He eventually decides he must be hiding outside. So he leaves the house to find him.
He starts searching around some bushes when he hears his friends voice coming from a dark corner maybe 20 feet away. They voice calls for him to come over. He didn’t, because he was already spooked out enough being outside in the pitch black. My friend yelled back, “no! You come over here!”
That’s when he said it really started to get spooky. He told me the voice that sounded just like his friend kept insisting that he come over to the dark corner. My friend kept saying no over and over again. At this point, he said the the voice suddenly changed to a dark, horrible sounding voice demanding he come over. At this point he ran back inside, only to see his friend in the living room. When questioned how he got inside so fast, the friend said he never went outside.
Now, I know both of these 2 guys. None of them make up shit. And I doubt it’s the case of an “imagination gone wild”.
Whatever that voice was, it still spooks me just thinking about this story.

Army Days
Back in those days, army bunk beds were double decker and we have to fill the bottom bed before anyone can sleep on the top. So what happened was that the squad of 10 filled the bottom bed and nobody was sleeping on the top bed. A friend of mine woke up one night at around 2am, wanting to go to the toilet. So he woke up and as he was about to stand up he saw two pairs of legs hanging from the top of the bed. Both were white and by the shape of their legs he could tell that it was an elderly lady and a little boy. He didn’t know what to do and so he pretended to be asleep and he overheard their conversation,
“Grandma, could I play the ball now?”
“No dear.”
“But why not? Everyone is asleep I promise I wouldn’t be loud.”
“I know you wouldn’t be loud, but not everyone is asleep.”
The Last Visit
Our elderly neighbour fell sick and had to go to the hospital. Her niece asked us to take care of her dog while she was away. So after school work and dinner and all, me and my brother were sent over to make sure he was doing ok.
So it was late at night, in this weird old lady’s house, my brother was in the shed with the dog and I was in the living room looking at the creepy old photos on the mantelpiece.
What follows is true: I heard the door creak and then a woman’s voice called out the dog’s name.
I freaked out, turned around, obviously there was nobody about. I thought maybe it was the neighbour’s niece, but it had that weird “Did I hear that outside my head or inside it?” echo to it (you know what I mean?) so I also thought I was just letting the creepy house get to me.
But then I went out to my brother and Knocky and he was freaking out too because he thought he’d heard a woman’s voice inside the shed with him saying “Oh there you are”.
We both agreed the voice had that weird in-your-head sound to it and were convinced there were ghosts in the place. Left the dog in the shed, went home, and were greeted by Dad who told us the neighbour’s niece had just called to say the neighbour passed away in the hospital a few hours ago.

Demons In The Desert
My dad has some stories from his experiences living in California, so I recorded one of them over break and thought I would share.
Me and this guy, a friend of mine, were out drinking beer one night, driving around, running amuck out in the middle of the desert, out by 29 palms. We were miles from anywhere or anything, literally just bonsai-ing out on these old, old roads waay out in the middle of flippin’ nowhere. I mean, we are 20-25 miles from the nearest telephone pole. We come across this Dotson B2-10 (that was like brand new back in the seventies), and it was burned from the firewall back. But the front of the car, the paint was still on it and everything! So we all like, “Oh man, check out this car!” We pull up and we got our lights on it—and its super dark, no moon, in the middle of the desert and it is just completely black out there (except for his headlights and the KC lights on his truck).
It had a good engine in it! We had a whole truck full of tools and a whole bunch of beer, so hell! We just started tearing at it. I go, “f**ck check it out man, I can use this engine in my truck! This is perfect!” So we started taking the engine apart and taking it out. We’re drinking beer, we got the speakers up on the hood of the car, and we’re in there twisting wrenches and just having a time.
He didn’t have an auto-reverse cassette deck, so we had to go back and reverse/change the tape every time it ended. You had to go over there and physically take it out and turn it around and put it back in. There were no radio stations, so that’s all we were listening to.
We’re almost getting ready to get the engine out and the tape ends again. But we’re in the middle of doing something and we couldn’t jump up to go change it. So we’re twisting wrenches in this unbelievable, dead-of-night quiet. And then we could hear something running around. You know where the light from the headlights and KC lights stops being light and it turns to darkness? That’s where we heard it. We heard it running around. You’d hear it from over here and /running/ to over there, a little pitter-patter running through the sand, across the desert and brushes and stuff like that. We were like, “What the hell?”
[He stopped to tell us that he had the chills and goosebumps there in the room. Said he could remember it like it was yesterday.]
We look at each other and are like, ‘whisper’ “whatthef*ckwasthat?” We stopped and were completely silent. You could almost hear your heart beat…. and you’d hear it again over there, so we’d turn our heads and look over there [using gestures to point]… and we’d look over here on this side…. And we looked at each other like……. [wtf face and mutterings under the breath] … We take our flashlights and look over there. Can’t see anything…. We’d get back to work, then hear it again, and we were like, “fck it, we’re outta here. This is freaking us out.”
So we took off, came back the next day- during the day -and finished pulling the engine out. Well, we went out and looked around. I was kicking around out in the brush where we heard the tracks and there were all these little… teeny little footprints. Like, little kid, barefoot kid footprints. Barefoot in the sand, all around the perimeter of where we were.
It wasn’t us! We had boots on and we are big, size 11/12 guys. And we’re miles and miles from anything.
But there was nothing out there, no houses, nothing. Just little footprints running around in the dark. But there’s a lot of activity out there, probably 200 miles from Area 51, another 80 miles from Death Valley. There’s tons and tons and tons of just barren, desert wasteland nothing. But there was something out there that wouldn’t come into the light that night.

“Your Not Allowed To Touch Them”
When I was eight my family moved from urban south Florida to a really small town in north Florida. It was like from a Goosebumps book. A lot of weird stuff has happened in the 15 years since we moved there, but the weirdest has got to be when my sister moved back in with my parents.
My sister’s husband had been shipped off to Afghanistan so she was left alone with a newborn son. Not wanting to go through the soul crushing loneliness of raising a newborn all alone in a trailer in the woods, she moved back into my parents house for a while.
She said it started first when the headboard of her bed would slam every now and then. Then one day she woke up because somebody was tickling her.
She didn’t really think about it until one night she woke my mom up by screaming(my sister is almost 30, she’s not a little kid), and my mom went in and THE WHOLE FUCKING BED WAS ROCKING AND SHAKING LIKE. Really violently up down, to the sides, like a boat going through white water.
But, my mom and sister have been through a lot of shit, so they persevered. One night my sister was nursing her son and something grabbed her pony tail and started yanking her head around. My mom went in the room and very sternly, like talking to a bad kid, said,”I understand things are different. There’s a little baby here and there never has been before. You’re curious, I understand that. But you WILL NOT touch them anymore. You can look, you can stay. You were here before us, but I swear to god you are NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEM.”
It stopped happening.
