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.
Some footage has come out of one of the world’s most haunted hospitals and it’s insane. A doctor had recently taken his life and he has been terrorizing staff. But is this him ? Whatever it is, it is bone chilling.
The Footage seems to show a figure peeking out from behind the door, directly at the camera, you can easily make out a face, shoulders, and torso. He then simply walks out of the door and disappears…
The internet has claimed this video was taken in the School Hospital Universitario in Honduras, where a rather deranged doctor took his own life.
There are a lot of claims to this hospital being one of the most haunted in the world. There are an incredible amount of stories coming out of it ; lights flickering on and off, strange screams or a playing humming in the corridors. Not to mention the doctor himself creeping around.
As with most video posts, we will let the footage speak for itself and thank The Occult Museum for this awesome find.
There are some pretty messed up games out there that a lot of people from famous vloggers to your nan have tried. A lot of these games revolve around conjuring up some spirit of demonic entity, and Halloween night is said to be when the dead can walk the earth some something like that anyways. They are fun and creepy af ! But dangerous at the same time, if you’re going to try any one of these make sure you close it down as instructed below. We are simply informing you of these games and in no way encourage you to try them ! 😉
Charlie Charlie
Charlie, Charlie is a crazy popular game right now, you set up the game and then apparently summon a dead kid called Charlie. It comes from Mexico where it was called “Juego de la Lapicera”, also nicknamed the poor man’s Ouija board. It is said that Charlie was a young Mexican kid who killed himself, died in a car accident or a Mexican deity who Convenes with the Christian Devil…
How To Play ;
Step 1: Open your Vine and get the camera rolling. (If you don’t have Vine, you ARE too old for this.)
Step 2: Draw an X on a piece of paper.
Step 3: Label two of the resulting quadrants “no,” and the other two “yes.”
Step 4: Place two overlapping pencils on each axis of your grid, crossing them in the middle.
Step 5: Say “Charlie, Charlie, are you there?” and ask a question. (i.e., “is one of my friends going to die soon,” “will I go to prom next May.” )
Step 6: Scream, probably.
There have been some pretty messed up things happening to people after they have played the game so remember when you are finished, say ” Charlie, Charlie can you leave?”, then keep pushing until he points the pencil towards yes.
Dry Bones
The Dry Bones Ritual basically involved summoning a demon to play a kind of tag with you. If you win the game your wish is granted and if not the demon gets to do what it wants with you. If it ” Wins ” the result is obviously far from good.
How To Play ;
First up, you will need a bathroom with a mirror, some matches and to make sure you are alone in the house. This includes pets or any animals. This game must be played at 12:01am, all doors in your house must be closed, locked and secured, this includes cabinets, cupboards etc… Turn off all lights and electronic devices, tv etc… When the house is completely silent you can begin. *A word of warning if there are any strange sounds before you begin, Leave The House and do not return until the following morning. That means he is already there and watching…
The Game
Step 1: Picture something realistic that you want ( No floating houses)
Step 2: Light a match and wait until it burns out. It has to last at least 15 seconds
Step 3:Next say, loud and clear ” I am aware of your presence, I welcome you into my home, but not my body. Come Now”
Step 4: Go to the largest room in your house. ( This may take 5 mins or 5hours, so be patient)
Step 5: When you hear a strange sound, most commonly an unearthly moan. * If you hear any voices or feel anything strange, leave your house immediately.
Step 6: He will try and find you straight away, so hide quickly and remain hidden until 3am. Only at 3am is it safe to come out, also if anyone comes into your house during this time they are pretty much screwed.Step 4: Go to the largest room in your house. ( This may take 5 mins or 5hours, so be patient)
Step 7: At 3:01am go to the largest room in your house and say ” Thank you for playing, but please leave now, you are no longer welcome”. Then wait until you hear a sound of some kind and repeat a few times, ” You are no longer welcome, please leave now”
Step 8: If you won, you will be rewarded soon.
A couple of final rules, Do not wish harm to anyone. He may decide that the price you paid was not enough for that, and only play this game once. If he did find you, then seek help, go to the church and ask for a blessing and just be strong in your own mind.
Bloody Mary
Bloody Mary is a very old and very frightening game. The legend is that Mary the Queen of Scotts is the culprit for the horrific attacks following the ritual, but there are also rumours that it´s the spirit of a young girl who killed herself in front of the mirror. Whatever it is, it is bone chilling.
How To Play ;
Firstly, you’ll need to get some items ready, including; a candle, a bathroom, a mirror, some scared friends or none believers and a video camera . Don’t forget the first three, they are kind of essential. Oh and Do Not!, lock the bathroom door!
Step 1: Turn out the lights, light your candle and run the tap/faucet
Step 2: Begin chanting. ” Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” thirteen times, loud and clear
Step 3:Look into the mirror and confront the bloody Queen herself
Step 4: Get out, and lick your wounds
Don’t actually lick your wounds, take a picture instead. Yup, Bloody Mary is well known for marking her victims. But made no mistake this is a demonic conjuring and if it works ( we have never tried ) then you need to state clearly for the thing to leave, or it might just stay.
Three Kings
Three Kings is considered to be the most dangerous of all the games, so don’t take it lightly and see it all the way through . There is not a lot known about the origins of this sinister game, apart from that te fact that it was posted on Reddit back in 2013 and its been a storm of attempts ever since, ironically that post was called Do Not Try This !!! The results have been nightmarish. The rules are also very specific so follow them bit by bit.
How To Play
You’ll need another person with you, a large windowless room ( or just cover windows), a pack of candles, a lighter, a bucket of water, a mug, an electric fan, 2 large mirrors, 3 chairs, 1 alarm clock, 1 fully charged mobile phone and a small object with some sentimental value.
The Set Up
Step 1: Begin at 11pm. Do not begin without your partner, he/she should with you at all times.
Step 2: Place one chair facing north in the centre of your chosen room. This will be your throne, then place two other chairs at opposite sides of the throne, about arms length away. These will be your queen and fool’s chairs.
Step 3:Place on of the two mirrors on the queen’s chair and the other on the fool’s. The mirrors should be perpendicular to the chairs seats and facing both of each other and you. You should be able to see each mirror, your own reflection from your peripheral vision while seating on the centre chair ( throne).
Step 4: Place the bucket of water and the mug just in front of you but just out of reach, then place the fan behind your chair on a medium or low setting ( never high ) and turn it on, make sure its stationary
Step 5: Leave the room but keep the door open.
Step 6: Go to your bedroom. Set the candles, lighter, alarm clock, and cell phone next to your bed and make sure your phone is charging and set your alarm for 3.30am
Step 7: Turn the lights off, hold your prechosen object of sentimental value ( power object) and go to sleep.
The Game
Step 1: Wake up at 3.30am, keep the lights turned off, pick up your cell phone and power object, light a candle and return to the dark room.
Step 2: Do NOT Proceed if the following occur;
. Your alarm did not go off
. Your mobile did not charge
. You approach the dark room and find the door closed
. Your approach the dark room and find the fan turned off
. You are not seated in the throne by 3.33am
Should any of these things happen, take your partner and any other living thing in your house and get the fudge out. Do not return until 6.am
Step 3:If none of the incidents above occurred, proceed. Take your thrones, but do not look directly at either of the mirrors and do not let the candle go out. Use your body to protect the flame from the fan.
Step 4:Keep your eyes focused at the darkness in front of you. Again, do not look at the mirrors and do not look at the candle. Should you have any questions you wish to ask, you may ask them now. You may or may not receive a response; if you do, your response will come from the direction of one of the mirrors. Do NOT turn to look at the mirrors. Any answers received should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt; one of the mirrors is the queen and one is the fool, but it may not be clear which is which. Also note that to whatever may settle in the mirrors, you yourself are either the queen or the fool.
Step 5: Remain in the chair until 4.34am.
Step 6: At 4.34 am, your partner should call out your name to end the game. If this does not work your partner should call your mobile and if that doesn’t work, your partner should enter the room without touching you and pour the bucket or mug of water over you. ( These are to awake you from any strange state you will be in).
Concerning fail safes, If your body is suddenly moved, the fan will blow out the candle, ending the game. Should you become lost or disoriented, your power object will guide your way back. Do NOT ignore any of the previously noted red flags prior to seating yourself in your throne. Do NOT attempt to stay in your home should these red flags appear. Do NOT attempt if you do not completely and totally trust your partner.
During this hour, shit can get really messed up. This one we have tried and it was disturbing ( video posting soon ). our experiences were similar to others such as voices coming from each mirror saying kind of the opposite things. Objects were moving, my chair was thrown, the psychical activity was terrifying but the voices were so damn clear and contradicting each other when answering my questions… I’ll never know for sure if i was hallucinating or just tripping. But i do know that it was something i will never forget.
Daruma-san or The Bath Game
Daruma-san is best known as the Bath Game and its kind of like a deadly version of red Red Light, Green Light. After the initial summoning, it follows the same rules as a Japanese children’s game called Darumasan ga Koronda, literally, ” The Daruma doll fell down”. During the corse of the game , Daruma-san attempts to catch the player, the player is ” it “. But if the Daruma-san catches you then let’s just say it doesn’t end well.
How To Play
You will need a bathtub and obviously a bathroom.
The Set Up
- Begin at night, just before you got to bed.
- Shed your clothing and enter the bathroom. Fill the bathtub with water and turn out the lights.
- Climb into the tub and sit down facing the faucet and taps. Close your eyes and begin washing your hair.
- As you wash your hair, repeat the words “Daruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down.” Do not stop repeating them until you have finished washing your hair. Do not open your eyes.
- If you have performed this action correctly, you will gain a mental image of a Japanese woman standing in a bathtub. She will slip and fall, landing face first on a rusty tap and gouging her right eye out.
- Should you hear any noise behind you or feel movement in the tub, do NOT turn around and do NOT open your eyes. Ask aloud, ‘Why did you fall in the bathtub?”
- Allow the question to hang in the air. Then, keeping your eyes shut, carefully stand up and get out of the tub. Do not trip and fall yourself, and do not drain the tub. Exit the bathroom, shutting the door behind you.
- You may now open your eyes. Leave the bathroom as you left it — water in the tub, door shut — until morning. Do not turn on any lights.
- Go to sleep.
The Game
Step 1. Awaken at your usual time. The game begins the moment you open your eyes.
Step2. Go about your day as normal. You will feel a constant presence behind you; it is likely that, should you turn to look, you will see nothing. However, glancing over your right shoulder may occasionally reveal a glimpse of her. Her hair will be black and tangled, and she will have only one eye.
Step3. She will attempt to get closer and closer to you as the day goes on. Should you spot her and find that she is too close for comfort, shout “Tomare!” — that is, “Stop!” — and run away. The idea is to put some distance between you and her; do NOT allow her to catch you.
The Ending:
Step 1. Capture her in your gaze by looking over your right shoulder.
Step 2. Shout “Kitta!” — that is, “I cut you loose!” — while swinging your arm down in a chopping motion. If you have performed this action correctly, a winning condition will have been achieved and the game will be over.
Step3. If you have NOT performed this action correctly… run.
Some of the other things you should know about the Daruma-san is that she is fond of water and dark spaces. It is highly recommended that you avoid all dark spaces and crossing running water until the end of the game.
Use the “Tomare!” command sparingly. Each time you use it, the amount of time for which it will stall her will diminish. Use it only when absolutely necessary.
The ending MUST be performed before midnight. Failing to do so will grant her permission to enter your dreams. Do NOT allow her to do this. Additionally, performing the ending is not as easy as it seems. If she suspects you are about to try to end the game, she may hide. You MUST have her in your sights when you perform the “Kitta!” command.
It is NOT recommended that you play this game more than once. Should you play it a second time, she will begin in the same position she was in at the conclusion of the previous game. This will not provide adequate distance to escape her.
Do NOT let her catch you.
Paranormal photography is a huge subject at the moment. With technology moving forward every day, we are discovering new ways to capture the other side all of the time. A lot are just hoaxes of course, but there’s a few out there that sceptics are unable to debunk.
3. Grandpa´s Ghost
This photo was taken when a family were moving their grandmother to a care home. She was having a tough time with the move… Anyways the younger daughter took a photo and saw a man standing the background, later on when they were checking it out.
The man standing behind their grandmother was identical to their grandad. He had died 13 years earlier… Perhaps he came along to make sure everything would be ok. But it doesn’t end there.
This photo was called a hoax for a long time and it was under speculation for even longer. However, when looking closer, some people spotted what looks like a cloaked figure with a skeletal white face standing by the grandad looking directly at him. Almost like death himself was bringing grandad on a supervised visit. If you can’t spot him, look a little left from the red car.
It’s easy enough to say that, the cloaked figure is a trick of the light… But, there is no denying that grandad is standing right there. Is it a coincidence that this trick of the light happened at the same moment that this spectral giant was caught ?..
2. Please, let that be your shy daughter behind you.
Look just a little to the right, directly behind the women taking the photo…
There´s a game that has been going around recently called Karen the Mirror Ghost. You take a selfie three times in a row and then on the shot, just before you hit the button, say, Karen, I see you. Then she strangles you, steals your children or shares a tub of popcorn with you. After the third snap a girl called Karen, who supposedly died whilst taking a selfie to post on myspace, will appear in the third picture…
It sounds nuts! However, take a look at the photograph above, this Reddit user decided to give it a shot, and what she captured is fudged up.
Is it just us or does the thing behind her have glowing eyes and a dashing if not somewhat evil grin? Not too pretty…
1. The Party Ghost.
For us, this is the most convincing photo out there, not to mention one of the creepiest !
This group were on vacation in southern America and they decided to take a couple of group photos. The first is completely normal, however, take a look at the second…
It would seem that these guys have a party crasher. Upon later review, none of the guys recognised the women who decided to join the fun. Of course, this could just be a member of the party… But look at the proportions of her body and head, she is as close to the camera as the guys in the front of the photo…
That means that she is closer to the camera than the majority of people there, however, she is in the centre of the table. So unless there is a huge hole in the centre of the table, and this group of 10 are all lying or there’s a spectre manifesting right before your eyes.
There´s a lot of ghost photos out there, you can scour the internet all day and find hundreds of them, but just take a closer look and see if they match these three.
With Halloween just around the corner every tv show out there is doing some kind of special, but there is one thats really got everyone talking and thats Nick Groff’s, Paranormal Lockdown. They will attempt a 72 hour lock down in the location said to be home of the worlds most violent poltergeist, 30 east drive in the UK. Nick Groff and his fellow investigator will attempt the longest lockdown in history to try and call out what is possible the most aggressive and dangerous spirit in documented history, The Black Monk of Pontefract…. But what is the history of this location ? and who is The Black Monk ?
30 East Drive
30 East Drive, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, is home to what is considered the most violent poltergeist haunting in history. Number 30 stood on a hill on the estate, that turns out to be the place, hundreds of years earlier was the place many people were executed. The haunting itself was witnessed by policemen, a priest, and an MP, and still people today call it a hoax. But that´s always your decision to make.
It began in early 1996 with the Pritchard family, Jean and Joe, their son Philip and daughter Diane.
The Family had all went on a summer holiday, late august to devon. Apart from Philip who had been left at with his grandmother, Sarah Scholes. It was a hot summers day when all of a sudden the pair noticed an icy chill in the main room. Then they noticed a white powder falling from the ceiling, and sounds as if someone was walking up there.
So she went to her her daughter, Marie Kelly from across the road, to see if anything was upstairs. But, when they entered the found pools of water on the kitchen floor. Then the walking sounds came back and the white powder was falling from above the kitchen… Before there eyes more pools began to form around their feet.
Later on, they ended up calling the water company but they couldn´t find any leaks or cause for the puddles. Then the activity stopped no more sounds, leaks or dust. Until 7pm, when Mrs. Scholes was watching tv. All of a sudden her grandson screamed from in the kitchen ” Grandma it’s happening again !”, she ran in to find her grandson terrified looking at the counter… The entire surface was covered in tea leaves and the tea dispenser turning itself on and off, spitting hot tea everywhere.
The Living is still pretty much untouched.
Scholes screamed ” Stop it!”, which was answered by a loud bang in the hallway behind them? They went to leave the house, but to leave they have to pass through the same hallway. They walked cautiously through when the lights began to flicker and then, the entire sideboard began to shake, rattling the cutlery inside. They sprinted through the hallway and to the neighbor’s house, confused and terrified. When they returned to the house with the neighbors, they all witnessed the sideboard shaking, more violently than before.
This carried on until 9pm so they pair decided to try and get some sleep, but, just when she was tucking her grandson into bed, his chest of draws began to sway violently. They watched in terror until it eventually tipped and fell with a smash onto the floor. For obvious reasons, they stayed at their friends that night.
The rest of the family came home from their holiday the next day to find their son and Mrs. Scholes pretty disturbed, but nothing else happened. Nothing else happened for a further two years…
Then, with no warning at all, it started again. They decided they would not be driven from their home by the spirit they had decided to name “Fred”. It was typical poltergeist activity, objects would be thrown around the house, loud crashes and bangs. When neighbors came to the house he acted up, one friend even tried to exorcise the house and Fred reacted by turning all of the crucifixes on the wall, upside down…
If that wasn´t bad enough Fred had focused on the Pritchet´s daughter, Diane. He was being slapped in the face, thrown from her bed and on one occasion he was dragged up the stairs, afterward, there were visible bruises around her throat…
Towards the end of their torment, the whole family began to see Fred. He appeared as a large man in a black robe with his hood up and face shrouded with shadow. He would appear at the bottom of the Diane’s bed and visibly drag her from it by the ankles, kicking and screaming, or just watching her sleep. Despite the numerous sightings even today no one has seen his face.
The Black Monk of Pontefract
One of the creepiest images caught in 30 east drive.
” Fred ” was responsible for a lot of crazy activity during his time with the Pritchard’s. Some of it was actually a little bit funny. On one occasion Fred decided to wear some women´s fur gloves and interact with people as if an invisible person was wearing them. But after all of this activity, it all suddenly stopped… “Fred” never bothered the family again.
Since then, there have been a ton of different theories about what happened at 30 east drive.
One man, in particular, spent years researching what happened, paranormal investigator, Tom Cuniff. He discovered that between the years 1090 and 1539 there had been a small priory located close to the house and that the gallows were located on the grounds where the house now stands.
During his investigation, he found out there was a Cluniac monk, who had been sentenced to hang by the neck until dead, for the rape and murder of young girls… Funny enough, the murdered girl had been the same age as Diane Pritchard. The description of the entity they had been seeing, matched perfectly with The Black Monk.
Today
Today, the house is owned by a film producer Bil Bungay. He was the director of the movie “When the lights went out”, a story of the Pritchard’s account with the Blank Monk of Pontefract. He actually used the real haunted house for the first viewing oh his horror movie !
At first, he was skeptical, “IF the Black Monk ever existed, then surely after 40 years, it would be long gone?”. This assumption proved, later on, to be wrong…
10th October 2016
The Ouija Board is by far thee most well known form of communication with the other side, its the oldest form but its also one of the most dangerous ones. People for hundreds of years have been doing this, but today the world is dowsed in fear and just recently something else has been coming through the Ouija Board. Something not everyone bargained for.
The Rules !
- Be Serious, being in a serious mood heightens your defenses. If your not serious about it, you can invite something negative in. Which can happen anyways but its much easier for it to get into your head if your just joking around.
- Always Say Goodbye When Your Done, sometimes negative entities will refuse to say goodbye, like a stubborn kid… but just keep pushing on. Say goodbye closes that doorway and ends the session.
- Never Use The Ouija Board in Your Home, this one is simple, ever heard the saying dont s*$t where you sleep? Same concept. The last thing you want is something negative staying in your house, affecting you in the place your most vunerable…
- Never use The Ouija Board Alone, simply because the ouija board is normally used in groups, a single person will have little if not no effect. Or simply because if anything happens no one is there to help.
Follow the four golden rules and to be honest its quite alot of fun.
The ZoZo Phenomenon
ZoZo is something negative or demonic of insane power, never make the mistake of thinking he is anything but. He has been accidentally summoned using the Ouija Board since the late 70’s and is related to alot of suicide and murder cases since that time. But he can actually be traced back even further and its been popping up in history for thousands of years…. He has been worshiped as a god by civilizations such as the Mayans and Incas. His name has been a hated word in ancient Jewish religion, the word Zozo is used in blood voodoo. There is evidence of ZoZo in ancient Africa, medieval Europe, and in Christianity where it translates directly into the word ” Destroyer “. Not to mention he is also in Dante’s Inferno and apparently used by King Solomon. There may be hoax videos out there saying they have had contact with him but it just takes research to realize this guy is no joke.
Normally he is conjured up by accident, you’ll break out the Ouija board and ask ” Is anyone there ? ” and maybe giggle a little bit, but to begin with you will never know just who it is. Demonic forces are well known for there trickery… He will normally first try to pretend he is someone else, perhaps a little girl who was murdered and shes scared and alone, or a vulnerable old man who is lost in his old home and doesn’t know how to cross over. But then the rainbow affect takes place.. The planchete will start swerving from Z to O slowly and then faster and faster spelling out Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O. That’s when you know your in some deep sh*t. Check out Ghost Adventures experience with ZoZo below.
Signs you have Contacted ZoZo
The first way to identify him is always to ask his name, he may not be truthful to begin with, it may even take a few sessions but it goes by the names of, ZoZo, ZaZa, MaMa, Oz, Zo, Za or Abacus. Other signs include;
- Rapid figure of eight movements or the number 0 when asking for the entities age
- Rainbow side to side movements that spell the names above
- Extreme anxiety, thoughts of depression or violence before or during session
- Dark shadows moving around the area of the Ouija board
- Psychical Attacks
But if you do come into contact with him there are ways to deal with it, but if you have a weak will just be honest with yourself and don’t do it at all. But there are ways to keep him at bay ;
- Don’t Panic, evil entities, especially demonic ones seem to feed from fear itself.
- Close the session, Make sure you say goodbye after the session and make sure that the entity moves the planchette to goodbye.
- Set Boundaries, Make sure you state that when you are finished he will leave and that he is not allowed to come into your life.
- Do Not Use The Same Ouija Board Again, Spirits, especially evil ones can attach themselves to objects to get rid of it.
- Do Not Speak or Say His Name, speaking his name is a weak form of letting him in.

There are alot of haunted dolls out there these days, but Harold was one of the first ones and it still one of the most dangerous. He was the first haunted doll to be sold on Ebay but he has been shipped from owner to owner all of the previous having experiences to disturbing to keep him for more than a couple of weeks.
The original image from the ebay listing.
The Original Listing
This was written by the seller on ebay.
” I´m sure its happened to us all atleast one or twice. You are walking around a flea market or antique mall looking for a treasure or two and you come upon a beat-up looking doll. You think to yourself, “Oh that´s charming, or ” the child who owned this doll must have really loved this thing”… but what i thought after seeing the doll that is offered today should never ever, be repeated…
This doll was purchased in a small dirt lot flea market in the quaint town of Webster, Florida. Webster is a very charming, industrial town about 60 miles South West of Gainesville. They have a weekly flea market offering treasures, bargains, and aisles of kettle corn…anyways, I digress..
I arrived at the flea market fairly late in the fay when most people were packing up to go home. That is when i saw an elderly man placing the doll in a box.
It looked interesting, so i asked the man if i could see it… the conversation went something like this…
Man : You don’t want to see this doll
Me : Sure I do. What do you want for it
Man: Well… this is a good question because its very old…( the man looked like he was going to begin to cry ) It was my son’s, i bought it for him when he was born, and he passed away a few years after… this doll has sat in my work shed for over 60 years. I wasn’t going to bring i t out today, but i figured i just needed to get it out there… anyways, i want 20 bucks for it.
I gave the guy 20 bucks, put it in a bag, and walked away. When i was halfway down the aisle, the man came running over, visibly out of breath…
Man: I have to warn you about something. I can’t let you take him like this… the reason it has been in my shed, is that the doll bought an eerie presence into our house after our son died… we would hear crying and singing from his bedroom… when we went to check it out, there was nothing, just the doll… Other things started to happen, and the priest told me i should burn the doll. I tried and tried, but it would barley burn. That’s why his arms and legs are so worn… anyways, I just wanted to let you know…
I told him ok, and chuckled to myself as I walked away… that was until i got home, and my life has never been the same…
Two days later my cat died, my gf left me for the pool guy. I began to have chronic migraines, and this is only 2 days after purchasing the doll!
A week later I began to hear children laughing and crying in my basement… Every time i would go check it out… ofcourse… nothing.
The doll has been in an armadillo coffin in my basement for the last year and a half, and i need to get rid of it… I really do believe its cursed, sometimes i touch it, and it seems like it has a pulse, maybe I’m just paranoid, maybe not.
The cursed doll measures 21″ tall. His/her/its head, arms and legs are all composition. The eyes are closed when its lying down.
Please ask any and all questions before you bid this doll. I have had it out of the coffin for years, so if anything else happens this week i will be sure to let you know. This auction is sold as is WITH NO RETURNS ! PLEASE!
Winner pays exact shipping and optional insurance. Check out my other auctions for more vintage collectible and antiques. Ask all questions before you bid.
even if you think you are sure about condition, pictures etc, please ask all Specific questions, BEFORE BIDDING. Thanks for looking and good luck !
The Story Continues
Harold the Doll since that moment has been passed from owner to owner not many held on for long, all of whom where being terrorized with various stories of the childish laughter or singing, being bitten or scratched or there life taking a turn for the worst. It went through countless owners until it fell into the guardianship of one man. Anthony Quinata.
Antony bought Harold and a bunch of other haunted objects in hope to write a book on his experiences, however at first Harold did nothing. Anthony tested the doll with an EMF meter and an EVP recorder, but nothing. But even after that he decided to store the doll, thinking it a fake however he did place it in a box with holy water and a crucifix. ” Better safe than sorry” he would say.
It was not until he bought the doll to a friend of his called April who worked with the paranormal. He decided to set up an EVP recorder.But again no activity, however when he got home he decided to listen back to the recordings and he heard clearly, ” Shut up, bitch!” which was followed by an angry roar, then saying, ” I´m going to kill you, bitch!”.
After this he decided to put the doll in a box for 8 years and simply forget about it. But in 2013 he brought it out and since that moment its been a frenzy of activity.
He posted a picture online after taking it out of storage. It was met with a immense response and alot of stories. People became dizzy or got sudden headaches after only looking at the photo. A few people even woke up in the middle of the night, feeling Harold was watching them. This caught the attention of Zak Bagans and the famous Ghost Adventures crew who wanted to talk the doll to Xochimilco, the world most haunted island covered in what is apparently haunted dolls. Check out the full episode below.
*Spoiler Alert
What happens on the island is nothing short of insanity. A fire decided to light itself up in front of the camera. A doll laughed and upon investigation they found the doll not only had no batteries but no speakers ! Aswell as Zak suffering three small bruises on his arm that looked like children’s fingers.
Alot of people doubt the validity of these guys and the island itself, the island we are not to sure but the Ghost Adventures crew is perhaps the only genuine paranormal investigation crew out there and without doubt the best.
Strangely enough however the current owner brought Harold out later on whilst this episode was playing and on the TV and he claimed responsibility for the whole thing. See Below.
We are not huge believers or supporters of psychic mediums, nor do we take interest in the spiritual side of the paranormal, its a little to dull. However after the show Anthony was overwhelmed with hundreds of messages about the doll but out of the mass, Anthony came into contact with a six year old boy called Vincent in Australia.
Vincent drew a picture of the doll and told his mother that the children wanted to get outside to the sunshine but the black blob wouldn’t let them. Over the course of the next year, Vincent provided Anthony with far more information.
Vincent also claimed that there was 4 spirits in the doll, one was a man called Harold and the fifth was demonic. Anthony himself states that the demon does not haunt the doll… he owns it. He went on to list the atrocities the doll has inflicted upon the living.
One woman said bad things about it and she started coughing up blood. Others have been pinched, scratched and suffered immediate headaches. Two men made fun of the doll after watching the Ghost Adventures segment. One of them suffered a ruptured larynx, while the other man had a sudden bout of diverticulitis.
Still others have reported having horrific nightmares after even looking at a photo of the doll. The list of people who have experienced negative side-effects after either meeting Harold or looking at his photo is quite impressive. According to the previous owner, two people she knew died because of Harold. This is definitely not a doll anyone should mess with.
Anthony and Harold
Anthony later starting to parade Harold a little bit, when he took the cursed doll to a ghost workshop. Demon’s hate exposure and Anthony payed for it….
The night following the dolls parade Anthony was attacked. After blacking out in the bathtub, he then found himself on the floor with his head resting on the tub. Excruciating pain radiated from his chest. It was so strong, he feared he was having a heart attack. But even today Anthony wont let go of the doll, but we see this with countless other objects. People become obsessed.
What is Harold
There are alot and i mean A LOT of supposedly haunted objects out there and even more haunted dolls. If you simply type into eBay the phrase haunted doll you are overwhelmed with a plethora or options. But the most haunted dolls in the world such as Annabelle or Robert all have one thing in common with Harold. Its nothing human that is possessing them.
Dolls are a favorite thing of demons to take over, the theory is that dolls come with a certain innocence and nearly always a story of a little boy or girl who died when in possession of the doll they loved, so naturally this leads people to believe it is the spirit of an innocent child. But when the demonic entity gains your trust its almost like giving it permission to ruin your life.
Demons personally like to work from a position from seclusion and often effect people in ways that could be coincidence and most people will coincidence or affect you simply when there is no one else around. They attach themselves to these objects, unable to fully possess them to try and weaken your mind and then fully possess you.
From all the stories you’ve heard about Harold, Robert or Annabelle I’m sure you know only to well what these creepy little mofos are capable off, but still they can give us some real solid and terrifying evidence. In short Harold is an object used by a demon as a kind of tool to gain access to peoples lives. Perhaps there are other spirits with it also but there is just not enough knowledge on the subject to prove anything of the sort.
21th September 2016
You might have realized the different videos and photos popping up all over the internet of Snapchat filters seeming to pick up on on unseen faces. But what is this ? A simple software malfunction or are the intricate Snapchat algorithms actually able to recognize faces of the dead.
The Snapchat filters are able to transmogrify your face into a hamster, harry potter, a piece of toast, etc …..
But for this gimmicky feature that does make up Snapchat there is an insane amount of technology behind it.
For the functions they have to be able to recognize distinct features in a face, then the program has to model the structure of your face in 3d space, taking into account the rotation and occlusion of the overlaid prop effects
So to find the face in the given space, Snapchat uses the Viola Jones Algorithm. This works by scanning the image data repeatedly, calculating the different shades of grey ( grey-scale pixel value ).
By doing this the app picks up on the light hitting the fact, even when the light cant be seen by the human eye. So normally the light would hit the bridge of your nose and your forehead first.
But does that mean it can mistake a lumpy bit of sofa for a human face ?
See how he tells it where to go and the faces manifest …….
It is possible, it all depends on how the light is hitting the object. Like you see guys doing a Face swap with a plug socket etc.
But we do see this same technology put to use in some of the more expensive ghost hunting equipment. The SLS Camera ( The Structured Light 3d Scanner ).
One of the designers state ” The Machines software can make mistakes, however when functioning in the dark. So without light tampering and when a figure appears then it should stay there even when the camera is moving.”
See how he also is able to request the spirit to do certain things, making the chances of this happening accidental minute.
The only way to prove this is catching spirits is to give a command, tell it to appear again and facing pointing the camera in a different part of the room. Then you know that is a floating pooch face appears again then the chances of it being another glitch in that moment are almost 1000000/1.
As technology advances in such crazy ways everyday we are guaranteed to find some accidental extra functions of devices or software. Lets just hope there are more like this that can allow us to see more ghosties.
