Creepy unsolved/paranormal/strange events thread

Googling random Australian ones.

http://ghostinvestigator.tripod.com/australiangis/id2.html

More specifically ones in my state.

Ones in my town are essencially:

Tamworth - King George Avenue - It you drive or walk to the end of the avenue late at night and face back towards the city quite often a phantom set of headlights will come flying towards you. Random electrical problems such as fuses blowing have also occurred frequently. Many people have crashed and died on this stretch of road as it used to be a popular drag strip.

New South Wales - Tamworth - Woolworth’s car park - If your ever in Tamworth and you go shopping at Tamworth shopping world, never be in the underground car park alone after 1am! About 17 Witnesses report feeling tickled and temporary loss of sight.

And overall "false clams", though I never herd the car park one before.

Though everyone recons the local city primary school is haunted as well- once I went with my brother and his friend and saw nothing- but they have been without me and seen shit like a women in the mac lab and shit like that. Also black shadows- which I sware I saw sometimes when I was little walking home from there near dusk.

Russia's lost cosmonauts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cosmonauts

Unknown couple (February 24, 1961)

There were reports of a couple launched on February 17, 1961 aboard a Lunik spacecraft orbiting the earth, reporting "Everything is satisfactory, we are orbiting the earth." at regular intervals.

On February 24, 1961, there were some garbled verbal transmissions about something the couple could see outside their ship, that they urgently had to communicate to Earth. What happened is unclear, but communication was lost. Around the same time the listening station at Torre Bert reportedly picked up an SOS signal from a craft in space. As the signal got weaker, it was assumed whatever craft it was disappeared into deep space.

Alexey Belokonev (November 1962)

Alexey Belokonev is reportedly one of three (two men and a woman) cosmonauts aboard a November, 1962 flight. The Torre Bert tower in Italy allegedly picked up a frantic set of messages relayed by the three occupants. 'Conditions growing worse why don't you answer? ... we are going slower... the world will never know about us . . '

Wow why the heck is this not a more popular story.

I am not making the same mistake I did the other night going read/check out the to some of the other interesting stuff in the bright light of day tomorrow. Couple nights ago I had to sleep with lights on and delayed going to bed until like 4 a.m. thanks to this thread.:lol
 
Posted this a few years ago on here and was mocked but whatever...

Me and my brother were in Dartmouth staying with our dad for summer vacation. We were walking across town on our way to either Woodside or the Dartmouth library. We always went by Dartmouth High and down through the Mount Herman cemetery, next to the old museum. We took a piss break in the cemetery and being young I was pissing on a tombstone. An apparition of a woman in a gown appears before us and walks along the grass and disappears. I asked my dad and brother not too long ago if they remembered the woman we saw years ago in the cemetery and they still remember.It's fucked up to experience something like that and try to wrap your mind around it even after all these years.
 
Guys, I just searched high and low through Radio National's archives for a special on the disappearance of Frederick Valentich, a 20-year old pilot who came into contact with an unidentified aircraft over the Bass Strait - the channel between Australia's mainland and Tasmania.

FINALLY found it, sliced and diced it into a quick slap-up job in Movie Maker. It's great because it has a very good dramatisation of the ATC conversation between the ground and Valentich. The radio show, Radio Eye, has been discontinued, so I hope more people can now enjoy this very awesome little documentary. Quite spooky sound design!

Enjoy.

The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich
 
Quick ghost story:

I was out on the US East Coast, in the Northeast, actually staying at a beach house there. I was only six or seven, but I remembered the story about it in particular and what I saw later. My Dad was a consummate story-teller and second night there, he told us one he heard from a local he had met the first time he came several years ago. Only about a mile away from where we were staying, a little girl had gotten away from her parents and gone swimming in the ocean. The riptide was apparently too strong and dragged her under, drowning her. This was back in the 50's. They searched for her body for a couple of weeks, never finding it. Later it was assumed she would drift ashore, but again, never was found. Now, people say they sometimes see her walking the beach at night.

Even as a kid, I was pretty skeptical, especially of my Dad's bullshit, as he was full of it. So, I ignored it and went along with the vacation (we were there for little over a week). Three nights later, we had all gone to bed, but I wasn't really sleepy. I just lay in bed, listening to the ocean, hoping to get to sleep after too long.

Now, I know what you're all going to say, I had just fallen asleep, but I didn't wake up after this happened and I hadn't dozed off. After about 30 mins or so laying in bed, alternatively staring at the ceiling or keeping my eyes shut, I glanced at the foot of my bed and saw a little girl there. I couldn't see her face as it was shadowed, but she had a tattered dress on and was just standing there staring straight at me. I was pretty damned scared, but couldn't bring myself to do anything. After a minute or so, she just turned and walked out the room. At that point I jumped up and went to look into the hallway, and it was empty.

Obviously, I was pretty freaked for the rest of the night, but I didn't get or tell my parents as I didn't want to be embarrassed, but even aside from possibly seeing a ghost, I had a really weird feeling about her and her being there until we went to the beach the next morning and I realized what it was. I think she wanted me to go swimming with her.

EDIT: Oh, on the Pilliga story, I thought the story itself was only somewhat creepy, but what was spinechilling was Bongo's telling of it as you slowly hear him go from an average joe to a near gibbering madman.

Yeah.
"What did it look like like Bongo"
"It was H...H..h.h.h.h.h.h.g.h.h.gh..gfdh.h..h.h..HORRIBLE!!!"

I pooped my pants when he said that. Its hard listening to a grown man act that way for some reason.
 
Totally true story:

One evening while I lived at my parents house a few years back. Our house had a kitchen that had a "window" above the sink that looked into a family room that was added later. One night I had went downstairs to get a drink and I filling up my glass, looking through that window into the family room. My mom was asleep on the couch and there were two recliner chairs with their backs facing the window I was looking out of.

The chair on the right began to move, I assumed it was my dog getting out of it, and then a old man, white hair and glasses in a black suit with a white fluffy/frilly shirt and tie leans over and looks me right in the eyes. I bolt back upstairs.

I tell my mom about it the next day, she tells me dad. My dad gets home from work the next day and came into my room and sat down and asked me to describe the person I saw. So I tell him and he said "That is so strange. The man you're describing looks exactly how my father did the day of his funeral, and last night was the night he died 20 years ago." He was floored, but also kinda smiled and just walked out of my room. It was pretty strange but cool.

It was a pretty convincing interview because he was completely calm right up until he tried to visualize what this thing looked like. He didn't even start to freak out until he tried to describe what he saw through the car windows.

hmmm

yeah the Pilliga thing was crazy. Reminded me of Jeepers Creepers.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
 
Yeah, I mean Bongo's story (if true) does not sound like a Bigfoot or Yeti, etc. type story. Because, animals do not keep trophies of things they kill. His story/experience describes something far more sinister.
 
JoeBoy101 said:

Indeed. Whether what is described actually occurred is irrelevant, in the eyes of Bongo it was real...and that makes it all the more scary.
 
I'm going to use some common sense and not read this thread anywhere around 8pm or later :lol Love reading it during the day since it's still creepy, but over time I get over it :P

That Cascio story is just sad =( what I find weirdest is how people saw the bloody thing circling for half an hour and she couldn't see them or anything............ agg whyy?

I'd like to hear more stories about the Pilliga Princess... poor Bongo.

I mean, even if all of these things are purely psychological in your head hallucinations... at some point isn't it still pretty much the same as it being real?

Oh yeah, don't forget to visit http://cuteoverload.com/ if things get too creepy for you. It's what I do :D

Pfffft puss! The only time to read this thread is 1am and onward. You're doing it wrong if it's daylight outside. :D
 
ok this was just a bad bad idea to read up on this thread....

Yesterday I read the full story on the cave divers, thought it was a good read. didnt scare me since i was at work, but it defintely stuck with me all through the rest of the night. Just sort of thinking about it.

Then....after a nice dinner with my girlfriend we go back to her place. We take showers, lay in bed, watch a little tv and pass out after long days of work. I mean I am OUT, super deep sleep and then I just wake up in the pitch dark and she is sitting up, just looking scared out of her mind!

Then I heard something, it sounded to be about 2 houses down. A man was just screaming bloody murder, all I could make out was "I f***** told you....". I mean this was just intense, never heard a human being sound like this before, it was a combo of crying/cussing/psycho sounding. We both just gave that look to each other like.....someone was just murdered for sure.

I told my girlfriend to go in the backroom with her dog, her dog is big, and barks usually but the dog was dead silent, didnt bark at all. she decided to call the cops and I started trying to peer out the front windows. I sliightly heard more yelling, but couldnt hear it as well. I could hear my girlfriend on the phone with the cops more clearly.

I mean, i looked out every damn window, being careful not to open the blinds too much and I couldnt see anyone outside, this is a big block with pretty wide streets, the street lights don't do a great job of lighting up the front yards but she did have a motion detector light. It hadn't gone on.

She got off the phone and I went to the the backroom, I said I didnt see anything, and then she told me, "He was right on the side of the house"

Whens he was talking to the 911 person, she was whispering (small 2 bedroom house) and they told her blatantly "why the heck are you whispering, he cant hear you" but she was whispering cuz she could hear him walking around the side of the house still saying crazy shit. She told them they needed to send someone out, but that she didnt want the cops to come to the door at ALL. She didnt want to draw attention to her house.

The freaky thing was, right after the call, the person was gone! no more screaming, no more nothing. just dark silence out the windows. We were freaked out that maybe he heard her call the cops. All there was, was a bat that i keep in my car and I sure wasnt running out there to get it. So i ran another check through the house, made sure shit was locked. Then she set her house alarm(which she turns off when im over there).

Were laying in bed, and we see the motion light go off in the front, so I go check, NOTHING.

It all just happend so fast, my heart was pumpin so much, but I wish I would have just looked up over the bedroom window instead of goign to the front room and maybe I could have seen what the hell was going on, but I thought the person was just walking down the block screaming shit.

.....Let me tell you, it was hard going back to sleep, and the thought did come up, what a coincidence I had just read that story and came into this thread. Defintely had me alot more on edge than I would have been with this situation.

Go watch The Twilight Zone - The Odyssey of Flight 33. Commercial airliner approaches New York City but see nothing but jungle, apparently somehow went back in time. It's a good one and that's the first thing I thought of when reading the Cascio story.

Oh man! just saw that episode not too long ago. Thanks for reminding me. it's obivios the Cascio event was some inspiration for it. I think in the Twilight Zone episode, the tower can also hear the pilot, right?

The Russian cosmonaut one was good, creepy good.
 
The fact that Bongo is completely convinced he met what he met scares me more than the actual story. He's not lying. :/

Creepy. Do you have any weapon in your house?

My girlfriend has a BB gun that looks like a real one. Thats about it. I did try to grab a knife but couldnt find one in the dark. I'll probably start bringing my bat inside the house everytime i spend the night.

I'm thinkin of getting her some pepper spray, then when i have some money an actual taser gun.

Its just really hard to describe the screaming that was going on, it was one person, and it was just blood curdling to hear.
 
I love it when this thread pops up:D I really need to subscribe to it. Though I do scare easily:(
I blame my mom making me watch horror movies and stuff as a child, cause now I love em' but am scared of em' :lol

Time to go read this Bongo and ciasco stories...
wish me luck

Never really thought about it till being in the situation last night. I might have to look into it now. I'm sure that would give a person a sense of ease when that sort of situation happens. I'm not opposed to them, just never thought I would ever need one.

I swear.... I never realized how creaky the wood floors can be till last night when i was trying to sneak around lookin out windows.

Just because I'll feel bad if I don't ask: have you completely searched every single location of where you live where someone could be hiding?
 
That reminds of something two nights ago.

I heard someone banging on the front gate. He was saying something sounded like he was drunk or on drugs, I guess he saw the lights coming from my room? then a minute later I heard footsteps outside near my door. I went to sleep. But nobody else in the house heard it but me.

what do you mean? like searched it this morning? Cuz there was no way I was going outside in the dark, or even with the flood lights on. I mean, we made sure all windows were locked, she has a house alarm. We both left at the same time this morning. I dont think there would be any way for this crazed person to get inside.

I'm just a little worried when she gets home from work cuz I wont be there yet.

I was talking about inside but you seem confident enough that this person didn't get in the night you're talking about.
 
If it's any consolation to those of you seriously creeped out by the Bongo story, I can't find any Google results for the sanitarium he mentioned. (Happy Days? Happy Days Stay Retreat? Couldn't entirely decipher the accent.)

Theres no way man, all windows were locked last night. With two rod iron doors AND a house alarm. We did learn her dog is no good in terms of protection thats for sure. its a smallish 2 bedroom house so you can hear someone walking anywhere in the place, plus its all hardwood flooring. Thats why even I was having a hard time sneaking around the house cuz the floors are so loud.

It could have closed down since that was recorded - was there a date? He could have said the wrong name to avoid people (or it) tracking him down and he could be at a place that isn't officially considered an insane asylum since he has access to radio and a phone. You're probably right though... :(

Ok, so my 2 year old freaked my wife and I out over the course of the last 2 days.

Monday night, we lay her down to bed and after about an hour of her being completely asleep, my wife and I hear her screaming bloody murder from her bedroom. We rush in to see what's wrong and she's standing in her crib, pressed to one side and looking into her closet, hysterically screaming. My wife holds her for a bit and she begins to calm down, so my wife grabs one of the blankets that hangs over the foot of her crib (to shelter light from her window in the mornings) and she begins to push back away and scream again. Another test advance from the blanket reveals that she appears to be afraid of the blanket. We tried to ask her what was wrong, but we got no answer, just more hysterical screaming. We took her out to the couch with us, laid her down and she nodded off. When my wife and I were going to bed, we laid her back down in her room and all was ok.

The next day, yesterday, we were in her room after work and asked her what was wrong last night. My daughter still has limited vocabulary, but she's quite good at understanding what people are asking of her. She simply replied with "It bit me". So we asked where, she said "on my arm" and pointed to her arm. So, I grabbed the blanket and asked if the blanket bit her and she looked at me and said "no, not blanket, in there" and pointed to her closet, which is directly in front of the foot of her bed. I asked where in there, and she pointed to the very top shelf in her closet and said "in there". Not really knowing where to take that next, I ask her how did it bite her and after getting a little confused over what I was asking, she grabbed the blanket and asked me to put it on the foot of her bed, so I did. She then went to the middle of her room and got on her knees and said "in there" (pointing to the closet), then she said "then blanket" and she moved over to her blanket, still on her knees and put her head under the blanket as if peering through the slats in her crib and said "it bit me".

We were able to calm her down and she went to bed last night just fine without any fear or anything, but it got my wife and I kinda freaked out. Bad dream? fucking troll? WTF??
Maybe you have rats? :)

Well, I guess we have to set Trinest on the case. He's Our Man in that area. Trinest, if you read this, your mission is to find the Happy Days Sanatorium, infiltrate it as a reporter/janitor/doctor/nurse/patient, make contact with Bongo, and give us answers. Also, you need to prowl the Pilliga Forest at night and hunt down the Yowie or whatever the hell it was that put such a fear in poor Bongo.

I'm pretty sure unless you have an Arsenal and invisible camouflage you are not going to hunt any such creature.

You're probably right. But Trinest can use himself as bait. If he walks up and down the highway at night, pasty white legs bared, until the beast grabs him, he can then do... I dunno. I'm sure he can think of something.

Here's a good one. Min Min lights are widely reported all over Australia.

Strange orbs/discs of light that follow people/vehicles around on isolated highways and whatnot. They will ultimately probably have a terrestrial explanation, but very cool and mysterious nonetheless!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Min_light

Hmm, this reminds me of stories my mom used tell about how her grandmother used to scare her and her sisters as kids with stories of orbs of light that would appear near the farm/ranch she grew up in and that the adults there simply said you should never try to approach them since they are brujas (witches) and they'll snatch you away. This was in Mexico, btw.

Funny, how these orbs of light seem to occur as a phenomenon in seemingly every part of the world.

Also, that Bongo guy's story was chilling. Regardless of if what he's recalling is true or not the guy seems to be genuinely scared shitless by it. Creepy.

Ooh, this was pretty freaking cool. I'm really enjoying this stuff, although I don't really believe any of it. Anybody have any links to more audio/video stuff like this, or is there like a big archive of it out there?
 
Weird thing about what Bongo was describing was the legs being white/pale and hairy... that means that the cave/den had light? and wouldn't all those legs be decomposing and black/purple? OH GOD I'm turning into tonay or however you spell his name.

Either way, thinking about it is creepy and the guy sounded scared =(
