The ghostly image of a young woman can be seen in the door window. Here’s an interesting and creepy photo.  You can see through the door window what appears to be a young woman peering in. Supposedly taken by the woman’s husband, they claimed there was no one else in the room at the time. So if it isn’t a reflection, what could it be? A New Hampshire man noticed an unexpected guest in one of his friend’s Facebook photos recently. He posted the odd image of his friend and her

Did a plane carrying a famed fashion designer vanish into thin air over these islands? Last month, a plane carrying famous fashion designer Vittorio Missoni mysteriously disappeared in mid-flight. An exhaustive search found no wreckage or debris, and to this day it remains an unsolved mystery. The region the plane vanished in is known as a dangerous area where other disappearances have occurred.  Referred to as ‘Los Roques Curse,’ it is close to the vicinity of the infamous B

Today may go down in history as the day the legendary creature known as Bigfoot is finally scientifically proven to exist. In the scientific journal DeNovo, Dr. Melba Ketchum has published her long-awaited peer-reviewed paper on Sasquatch DNA entitled “Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies.” From the DeNovo website: One hundred eleven samples of blood, tissue, hair, and other types of specimens were studied, ch

Many people believed the end of the world would come on December 21, 2012, the date that marked the end of the Mayan calendar. That date has come and gone, and I can’t help but wonder what all the die-hard Mayan Apocalypse believers are thinking now. There were two general ways of thinking about how this end would come: it would either be a horrific doomsday scenario that would be the end of all life as we know it, or it would mark the beginning of a new age of human enlighte

The fine folks over at Daily Mail Online have collected a fantastic set of extraordinarily creepy photos from cemeteries, abandoned houses, in the woods, and even a few normal photos that were taken during the daytime, all with an unexpected guest!

From murdered slaves to tortured hospital patients to forgotten sailors, ghost stories will send a shiver down most people’s spines. But this collection of imag

Dagan Gerrity who is only 5 years old, is troubled by visions of a ‘man with grey skin’. It would seem this young boy is living in what some would call a real living nightmare. That is… if you believe him. The Daily Mail Online writes: A father has told how his five-year-old son claims he has been troubled by visions of a ghostly man with grey skin who speaks to him in the night. Dave Gerrity, 41, said his son Dagan first complained about seeing something in his bedroom in th

Most construction sites don’t end up on top of a ancient burial ground, but this one did. While building a new water side addition to the Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, England, construction crews were haunted by a rather frightening apparition of a headless monk. When inspectors came to see what all the fuss was about, they realized the new water slide was possibly being built on an old burial ground. After some consideration and discussing whether or not a headless monk g

Unfortunately for these folks in Brazil, who think they’re headed to whatever appointment it was they made for the day and are just getting onto just any old elevator. Boy, were they wrong! Watch the video below and see what one of our favorite sights has to say: Ghost Theory reports: Talk about a prank! This is l

The Monsters of Universal Studios We all know, love, and have our favorite of the classic monsters from our childhood but, what was the original inspiration for these creepy creatures of the shadows? A new book being published called “Medusa’s Gaze and Vampire’s Bite: The Science of Monsters” delves into what fears and real dangers the people of the time were living with that would have created them. From disease to war, times have most certainly been tough in the past and ev

Hard to rise from the dead when there's a few stakes in your heart! A new report details a finding from the 1950s that send chills down my spine. A skeleton was discovered in Southwell, Notts in the UK with a number of stakes through various parts of it’s body. Apparently, administered post-mordem, they were to keep this criminal/deviant from rising from the grave as an undead to feast on the life force of the living! The Telegraph writes: The discovery of a skeleton found wi
