You can read the original article by clicking here.  In the video, a small upright object comes into view and aimlessly drifts around a road.

More than 14,500 people have seen the footage since it was posted to YouTube last month and viewers were quick to comment their own thoughts on what it could be. “That’s some crazy s***,” one said. “Is the film altered in any way? “If not, that’s some crazier s*** than I

Leftover Magic

24 September 2018 | Your Stories, Your True Encounters

When I was a young child we moved into a house in a pretty bad part of town. We were homeschooled, which was basically illegal in CA so we weren’t allowed to just run around the neighborhood during the day, and we weren’t really doing very much school during the day, of course, meant we were bored. Add to that the fact that my parent’s marriage was in a terrible place, my father was a minor drug dealer and my mother was seriously depressed, our life was a certain type of hell. So, simultaneously as an outlet for frustration, a way of rebellion, and natural inclination, I and one of my older sisters became very interested in magic and witchcraft. I went the way of my ancestors, who were of

The Ghostly Musical Memory Of A Boarding House

21 September 2018 | Your Stories

A strange little story today from Ann. An innocent little intrusion by a musical ghost. Take a look... Lived in a house in California that had been a boarding house at some point. During the renovations my parents had gutted the place and we had moved in during the mid-1960’s. The house was fairly quiet, but I do have a memory of hearing piano music being played in the dining room. I wanted to see the source of the music, so I went into the dining room and saw the shape of a woman sitting in front of my mothers piano playing away. I couldn’t make any facial features out, but I somehow knew this was a woman, and that she had lived here. We moved soon after, but I

Shadows on the cliff

21 September 2018 | Shadow people, Your True Encounters

I’m not really sure if this story is a ghost story in the true sense of the word but it’s definitely weird and does involve darkness so it might be what your looking for. I was about 8 or 9 years old when I had the chance to attend a Summer Cubs Camp in England. For those who don’t know Cubs is like Scouts but for younger children. Anyway, at the camp we did the usual things like building camp fires, hiking and generally behaving like hyperactive children do. There was about 10 of us in the troop and we shared a couple of tents between us. We were confined to these tents from about 9pm and as the leaders were still up until much later there was no real

Advice From The Other Side: A Creepy Phantom Conversation

19 September 2018 | Your True Encounters

Strange submission about a mystery voice. What do we all make of possible advice from the other side? Take a gander… Weirdest thing happened to me when I was married to my first wife back twenty years ago. I was in the kitchen doing the dishes while I thought she was out in the other room cleaning up the table. “How was your day,” she asked. “Fine,” I replied. “How’s work?” she asked. “Looking pretty good,” I replied. “We just got some new contracts.” “I would look for another job if I were you,” she replied. I put the dishes down, went over to the door. The room was empty. I went through the room and upstairs. She was in the bathroom. “What do you mean I should look for

Bandit

My boyfriend I were both doing jobs we hated, when we were offered the opportunity to manage a pub. We both had had previous experience and it seemed the perfect opportunity to make a fresh start. The pub was a large building situated in Shropshire; it had started life in the 1930’s as a church, then a social club and finally, a pub. A doorway behind the bar opened up into a narrow corridor: turn to the right and it led to the cellar stairs, turn left and you accessed the upstairs flat where we would live for the next year. At the top of the cellar stairs, was a bank of switches that controlled the lights for the whole ground floor. At close, we would take it in turns

The eerie voice of a child singing ‘It’s Raining, it’s Pouring’ that tormented a family for months was caused by an alarm used to deter trespassers- that had been set off by spiders. Alice Connington, 34, who lives in Ipswich with her two young children, was left haunted by the sinister tune and unable to sleep. She told the Ipswich Star: ‘It was waking me up in the night, it was absolutely terrifying. ‘I heard it at all times of the night – 1am, 2am, 4am – it was sporadic, sometimes it would play once, other times it was over and over.’ The 34-year-old decided

The Vanishing Smell: A Paranormal Incident

13 September 2018 | Your Stories

A strange tale tonight submitted by Scott. He grew up in Manchester, on a housing estate and the house was invaded by a strange smell… see what you think! I grew up on a council estate in Manchester in one of the towers blocks they built in the 1970’s. Our flat was on the fourth floor, and was pretty rundown. But the worst thing about the flat was the odour. Every now and again this smell would completely take over the house. It was a mixture of sweat, and vomit. The smell would appear and disappear seemingly at will. We never could find the source of this smell. The council came out and assured us it was not the drains, or the surrounding flats. Now to my knowledge nobody died

The horror on harbor lights drive

11 September 2018 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Let me start off by saying this story is mostly true. I say mostly because memory is a tricky thing. I know what I am about to tell you happened to me. Little details here and there may be off, but for the most part this did happen to me. That’s the biggest problem with repressed memories, they aren’t as clear as regular ones, but they are memories none the less. They say when your mind can not handle a traumatic event, as a defense mechanism it will forcibly forget the memory of it occurring to help you cope with day to day life. Kind of scary isn’t it? Who knows what you’ve seen, what you been through, that you own mind decided you couldn’t handle, and then buried it
