Creepy unsolved/paranormal/strange events thread

In the house I lived a few years ago, sometimes I couldn't sleep because of a weird noise that sounded like people walking... on the ceilign. My bed even shook sometimes. =(

Once we also heard a weird noise and voices coming from a room in front of our house, that was kind of a storeroom. We even called the police to check it out, we thought it was being robbed. The police came, and.... they found nothing... it was closed. Untouched. :(

Pretty sure they were posted already but read about the Grinning Man and Mothman on Wikipedia.

My home state of West Virginia, where the Mothman and most of the Grinning Man stories are from is full of creepy stories like these.

I've heard personal accounts of a few of these stories and many others that aren't listed on here. I guess a state full of dark, wooded areas is perfect for ghost stories.

I had to remember it first so I could recommend the story.

This is similarly true for Mexico. Most of the stories I've heard from Mexico take place either by a river or on the roads that come down the sides of mountains that can make night travel a little dangerous.
 
Man, these stories scare the heck out of me. The country I live in (Belgium) is relatively rural and in some regions rather forested, but as far as I know, there's nowhere near the amount of ghost stories you'd find in other parts of the world.

I'm not a believing man, but holy fuck if these things make me doubt sometimes.

Lol, I was reading the article on the Mothman prophecies, and as I hovered my mouse over the name "Indrid Cold" my cat starts going crazy. Scared the hell out of me, again. :p
 
I've seen a handful of bizarre things in my 29 years. Coming to mind now:

- About 6 months ago, I woke up to take a whiz around 2-3am. I go into the bathroom, lights on, do the business, flush, rinse hands, dry and turn to leave the bathroom. In the hallway between the bathroom and my son's bedroom, I see this giant - about 6ft tall - shape, kind of like a big sitting dog. It was gone a moment later. I didn't feel any chills or anything like that, but I wasn't tired enough to be dreaming, and there was definitely something there. Very odd.

- At St. Matthias Church in Budapest, Hungary. This was back in 2005 on a backpacking trip across Europe. There the church was very dark, illuminated by some low intensity bulbs, and the day was overcast and rainy. There is a gold-leaf icon on the front of the tabernacle behind the altar that was glowing, bright and intense. We snapped a few pics of it, but they don't really do it justice. This shit was also quite weird.

I forgot about this thread!

It's read 0 ever since I plugged it in, which makes me think it could have been stress. Nothing even slightly suspect of being paranormal has happened since that week (and my job has just steadily increased in stress level), so I still don't know how to explain all that weird shit.
 
Going to add something that's not supernatural at all.

The Staten Island "Cropsey" Killer.

How about a serial killer stalking retarded children and bringing them back to an abandoned mental hospital? Satanic cults? Bums passing around children as rape-fodder in an underground tunnel system? All here and more!

Same here. I totally forgot this thread existed. I was sort of glad once I opened this thread that I had forgotten but why the hell can't I stop reading this stuff?

Haha. That happens to everybody who visits this thread. It's like when you're a kid and you cover your eyes out of fear and yet still peer through the slits of your fingers. You never really think about how creepy it is at night until you come into this thread and the ghost age one. Good times...

I've seen that movie, very strange and disturbing. It's also on Netflix instant.
 
Wondering if someone can help identify this story. It might actually be in this thread but search wont help. I apologise for the sketchy details.

An aeroplane (possibly 2 seater) vanishes over an airport. The plane either reappears years later or the pilot is heard broadcasting saying that he / she cannot find the airport but should be in the right location. Either the plane then crashes or the broadcast ends.

Everything I try in google sends me to Bermuda Triangle but I really don't recall it happening there.

Doesn't the radio message also claim the sky is upside down or something IIRC?

The pilot's name was Carolyn Cascio.

Just like the rest of you in this thread, in my cold bed, lappy next to me, almost falling asleep and reading this shit. Damnit GAF what are you doing to me.

That said, where's the original Ms Pacman post?
 
Carl Tanzler and his corpse lover

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

a German-born radiologist at the United States Marine Hospital in Key West, Florida who developed a morbid obsession for a young Cuban-American tuberculosis patient, Elena Milagro "Helen" de Hoyos, that carried on well after the disease had caused her death. In 1933, almost two years after her death, Tanzler removed Hoyos's body from its tomb, and lived with the corpse at his home for seven years until its discovery by Hoyos's relatives and authorities in 1940.

Tanzler filled the corpse's abdominal and chest cavity with rags to keep the original form, dressed Hoyos's remains in stockings, jewelry, and gloves, and kept the body in his bed. Tanzler also used copious amounts of perfume, disinfectants, and preserving agents, to mask the odor and forestall the effects of the corpse's decomposition.

I'm one of those people who says:
"If there are ghosts then I invite one of them to contact me."

And then when I am alone with the lights off I'm like:
"Y'know just forget what I said about ghosts contacting me. You don't need to prove yourself to me."
 
Arigos psychic surgery


http://weird-people.com/arigo-psychic-surgeon/

Another spectacular case occurred some time in 1956. Apparently, Arigó and his family were gathered round the bed of a female relative dying from cancer of the uterus. With the priest about to administer the last rites Arigó suddenly ran out of the room into the kitchen, grabbed a knife came back and thrust it swiftly into the woman’s vagina. Twisting the knife around for a few seconds he rapidly extracted the bloody tumour which he threw, together with the kitchen knife, into the sink. He then collapsed, and subsequently stated that he could remember nothing of the operation. The understandably stunned relatives immediately called a doctor, who confirmed that Arigó had indeed removed a tumour from the woman, without apparent pain or haemorrhaging. The relative soon recovered completely from the disease. The account of this miraculous cure is, like the majority in the case of Arigó, anecdotal, so it is impossible now to verify the truth of most of the stories.

The Solway Firth "Spaceman"

On May 23 1964 Jim Templeton, a fireman from Carlisle, Cumbria, took his wife and 5 years old daughter out to on Burgh Marsh near the Solway Firth to take some photographs. They parked and walked out over a field with a lovely view. "All the animals on that particular day were away on the other end of the marsh, all huddled together, as though they'd been frightened." Jim said.

The weather was warm and sunny, and everything seemed normal. At a good spot they decided to take a photograph of his daughter in her new dress sitting with a bunch of hand-picked flowers. The snap taken, they moved off and took many more pictures of the walk.

A few days later Jim got his photographs back from the chemist. The man behind the counter said that it was a pity that the strange man in a costume had walked past had spoilt the best shot of Elizabeth holding a bunch of flowers. Jim was puzzled. There had been nobody else on the marshes nearby at the time. But sure enough, on the picture in question there was something odd: overlooking her left shoulder, at a canted angle, was what appeared to be a man in a bizarre all-in-one white suit with a tinted visor.

It's just The Stig
 
I've been reading some of the stories on the somethingawful forums. They've got some goodies.

These are the best, though.

I call BS that they weren't aware someone was there, the photo is framed perfectly to keep the figure in shot, if you were remove the figure completely you have a very strangely framed shot with a lot of empty space above the head. It's probably just a beekeeper and someone found an old photo and concocted a story to go along with it.
