Halloween Case #17 – The Highgate Vampire and The Dueling Magicians

20 October 2017 | Bizarre, Creepy places, Haunted locations, Vampires, Your True Encounters

This October we are going to bring you some of the most interesting #true paranormal cases we can find. You can discover more true, terrifying accounts of the paranormal right here.   Back in the early 1970’s, the case of the Highgate Vampire was repeatedly in the news. It was a scary and somewhat grisly story and I recall reading in horror and fascination everything the media printed at that time. In retrospect, the subplot of two men interested in the occult and determined to outdo each other is even more interesting. Highgate cemetery was built in the 1830’s and was the place to be buried in society at the time. Many famous people are interred there including Karl Marx. In line with the style of the time, the graves are

This October we are going to bring you some of the most interesting #true paranormal cases we can find. You can discover more true, terrifying accounts of the paranormal right here.   What do you know about the “Mothman” sightings? Many people have tried to find out the truth behind the fantastic encounters people have had with this creature.

The creature was first seen on November 15, 1966 by Roger and Linda Scarberry, their cousin Lonnie Button, and Steve and Mary Mallette. One night, the group was driving past the West Virginia Ordnance Works, located about seven miles north of Point Pleasant, when they noticed two red lights near the factory gate. They stopped the car to

The Scottish Poltergeist

09 August 2017 | Ghosts in the news, Poltergeist, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Another poltergeist occurrence that was widely discussed in the press was really very bizarre. It took place in the Rutherglen, Scotland, home of Mrs. Shreenan who lived there with her son and, from a media perspective anyway, began with an amazing tale of a flying Chihuahua dog. The police were called to disturbances at the home where they found clothes flying across a room and the family’s pet dog sitting on top of a large hedge. The police were to say the least troubled by what they found and called in a Priest. Police attending the incident were described as having 20-year’s experience, but not knowing quite what to do under the circumstances. Lights were going off and on, the lampshades on the lights were upside down and the oven

The Ghostly Child Who Haunts My House

02 August 2017 | August 2017, Creepy places, Ghost Hunting, Your Stories

The first incident took place several years ago while I was still a child. I was in my bed, in the middle of the night, facing the right side of the wall. I turned around to where the entrance of my bedroom is and in the corner of the room was a full body apparition of a young girl, she had black curly hair, and was wearing a white dress. She was standing near the door, I was frozen and I was fully awake, but it scared me. I quickly hid under my covers and peeked out again to see that she was gone. She was. Nothing else happened until recently, I have been hearing whispers, footsteps, and banging at night while everyone is asleep. Nobody else has heard anything.

The Witches Prison

21 April 2017 | Ghosts in the news, Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

This month saw the placing on the local real estate market of a small property in St. Osyth, Essex. That anyone would want to live there is, I think, unlikely but it may make for a wonderful paranormal business of some type and be an interesting investment as a result. The house is nicknamed ‘The Cage” and it has been featured in several television paranormal investigations. For what looks like a small village house was actually a mediaeval prison and one of its more famous ‘residents’ was Ursula Kemp, hung as a witch in 1582. The house was used as a prison up until 1908. Poor Ursula Kemp, like many older and lonely ladies of her time, kept a cat for company and did things like minding children, making herbal

20 Hospital Workers Describe Paranormal Experiences From Their Jobs

13 April 2017 | Evidence?, Ghosts in the news, Haunted

Lea Rose Emery As far as scary stories go, creepy paranormal hospital tales are some of the most nerve-wracking. A place where many spend the last moments of their lives, or spend years in between life and death, hospitals ooze paranormal phenomena like they do bodily fluids. As such, nurses share supernatural stories on Reddit so everyone can get a look at what goes on behind their white curtains. From patients that seem to come back to life to the weird sh*t that people start seeing and hearing before they die, it’ll make you glad that you’re not working in a hospital wing. But next time you visit someone in the hospital, you may want to keep your eyes peeled. A Second Time From user simplesimon6262: “When I was a

If You Ever Wanted to Know Why An Exorcist Demands to Know A Demon’s Name….

12 April 2017 | Bizarre, Ghosts in the news

Very interesting article on possession and exorcism…. from here. What do you all think? In this interview with an exorcist from Switzerland, we’re told the devil isn’t everywhere—but don’t go looking for him either, just in case. With our modern mentality, the subjects of exorcism and demonic possession generally inspire a reaction somewhere between fascination and open incredulity. This is the stuff of movies, but it also makes you think. For the Catholic Church, though, exorcism is something governed with a book of ritual, De exorcismis et supplicationibus quibusdam (Rite of exorcism and prayers for particular circumstances, adopted in 1998 to replace the previous, older version, which may still be used), and it is subject to certain conditions and prescriptions. The motivations for these strict rules are rooted in Holy

The Devil’s Bible

12 April 2017 | Bizarre, Haunted items, Your True Encounters

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to see this strange document first hand, as it was on display outside of Brno. In fact, what I saw was a copy of the original. Nonetheless, the effect was chilling. The Devil’s Bible or Codex Gigas is 36inches tall by 20 inches wide and about 9 inches thick. It contains a set of Christian texts including the Bible. It is bound in leather with metal trim and weighs over 165 pounds. It is known for the amazing color illustration in its pages of the Devil and that is how it gained its name. Historians believe the text was created in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in the Czech Republic in the early 13th century. Now, as if the scale of the

The Ghost in my Selfie

03 March 2017 | Bizarre, Ghosts in the news, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

A family that went fishing for the day in Georgia discovered something quite scary about a selfie that their daughter had taken that morning. In the background of Jessica Ogletree’s daughter’s selfie is her brother – who had just caught a big fish – and someone else…. someone who wasn’t actually there that day at all. Is this a ghost? The family seem fairly laid back about the discover with Jessica saying “I personally think it’s pretty cool because today is Kolton’s birthday and he caught the biggest fish he’s ever caught! It looks like the man is happy for him!” If you look at the image, it’s actually quite scary looking. The face appears skeletal and it is wearing a baseball cap. The grin that makes it seem happy

“I will Kill You” – Mountain Ash Hospital Ghost Threatens A Ghost Hunter

28 November 2016 | Audible Activity, Evidence?, Haunted locations

Mountain Ash is a quiet Welsh mining town located near Caerphilly. The General hospital, a community hospital built partially using deductions from the Miner’s salaries, was closed in around 2012 with several others in the area, to make way for a new and larger hospital. Established in 1910, the hospital served several generations of locals in the area through birth to death. These days, the site has been heavily vandalized, stripped of metal, and its slate roof to now sit abandoned and forlorn in the valley. It’s only visitors these days are urban explorers and ghost hunters. The town has had its share of paranormal activity being the site of reported live fish falling from the sky in 1841! Like many abandoned hospitals, it’s own derelict hospital has gained a

Fear, Loathing and Terror Inside the Sanitarium

01 November 2016 | Ghost Hunting, Haunted locations

Have you ever been lonely? Ever wondered if you are truly alone? Sometimes the places we visit can be alive with activity—and today’s terrific terror is a place that must have felt lonely, and a place that still feels alive. It’s a sanitarium in Michigan where many lost their lives and, according to some people, it is a place where many patients still reside… beyond the grave. A 45,000 square foot institutional facility made up of a variety of brick buildings, and left in a state of neglect, complete with broken windows, sat in the middle of a well-kept neighborhood. This sanitarium was in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The neighbors hated walking past the building, not because the building was dilapidated—but because they say it gave off an aura. An aura that

The Spirits Who Won’t Leave Me Alone

26 October 2016 | Bizarre, Creepy places, Evidence?, G. Michael Vasey's Nightmare Corner, Ghost Hunting, October 2016, Your Stories

A few years ago, I was shaken awake by a figure of an elderly woman leaning over me in my bed. It scared me so much that I rolled across our bed and over my husband and ended up on the floor! I would see her occasionally in the hallway when I would get up during the night to go to the kitchen. She would just pass me and disappear into our hallway closet.  I saw her several times standing over my bed too and decided that I had to try and communicate with her. The last time I saw her, I told her she needed to move on. She disappeared into the closet as usual and has not been seen since. After that incident, I became a firm believer
