Creepy unsolved/paranormal/strange events thread

Anyone remember a story from last year, where some hikers recorded strange shrieks and other weird stuff on a mountain in Massachusetts or somewhere like that? Radio signals that someone converted into an image file containing text, a place where a plane had crashed, twigs placed in strange circles, lots of strange stuff. There were both videos and audio recordings. There was a huge thread on reddit, and it's probably discussed earlier in this thread. I'd like to read if there were any updates.

from the article:

" The bootleg tape itself was found in December 2002 by a group of 5 urban exploring teenagers in a trash can within an abandoned mental institution. Of these 5 individuals, 2 have committed suicide, 1 has gone missing, 1 refuses to comment on the tape, and the last hastily agreed to give paranormal investigators the tape shortly after being interviewed about the suicide and disappearances of the other 3 persons. The current whereabouts of the tape are unknown, and many who stare at this image for a long enough period of time claim to see Spongebob blink..."

urban legend type shit if I've ever seen it...
still interesting, though. :)

I'd be pretty cruel if someone makes a gif of the image with blinking animation

I remember this too. Let me see if I can dig it up.

Edit: Damnit, I can't find it!

This has always fascinated me. It's not really paranormal, but it's certainly strange and I often wonder if he survived.

Wow, that was a good read. Thanks. One thing that popped into my mind that I didn't see listed in that was the theory that maybe Cooper was an ex-Boeing employee? He knew so much about the 727 and was allegedly from the Sea-Tac area (where Boeing is also located). It just makes sense! Check the recently fired Boeing employees from 1971!

someone is reading numbers on radio stations, it was first noticed when radio was invented literally, around th time of WW1, and they are still on the air, from time to time. mainstream theories tell of encoded messages for purposes of war, fringe theories suggest that Number stations were broadcast from beginning of time, waiting for someone to hear them.

Yeah I was just reading through that. Its pretty interesting stuff.

Apparently in that wiki the Irdial records released the multi CD release of number stations(called the Conet Project), and apparently the label has released all of its cds for free, but I cant find any of it on their website.

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

EDIT: Nevermind, the link is at the very bottom of the wiki.
 
here's a global topic of conversation -

this thread has sprung many extremely interesting information, about weird stuff around the world. would our consciousnesses ever get some answers ?

If you could meet some Omniscience being, is this thread the firs thing that would cross your mind ? :) I would ask him sooo many questions, all related to this kind of stuff. something MUST have been all fringy, and not logical, some thing must be insane, as they sound to be. and I cat stop thinking about that.


for example, im convinced that Voynich Manuscript is from another world. yeah, it sounds crazy, but there are no mistakes in the document, it is written as a regular book, but from a place where that language is regularly spoken, and language itself is far too complicated to be gibberish.

finally got around to reading it.
it starts out good... stays good for a while (the number station thing really was creepy- especially the images that reddit posters supposedly pulled from the signals)... but the end just took me way out of it.

*The rest of this post are my own issues with this story- so anyone that doesn't want any rationalization & just wants to keep it an effective 'Ted the Caver' type story, you might want to stop here. :) I'll put it in spoilers, too. Don't want to derail things, since I love this thread.


...


Too many bizarre decisions that appear to serve the sole purpose of giving the story more tension- not to mention the conveniences (i.e. "I found a wire that led up to a random tree with an antenna in the middle of a desolate mountain... BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAMERA DOH!!"). I mean- they were there for one main reason at the end: to try to find a source. You'd think they'd have cameras- even shitty ones- on them at all times, as well as the radio.

Not to mention the pictures and footage he supposedly took on their last trip still haven't surfaced.

Hearing a crazy, blood-curdling scream in the darkness right outside your camp- AND YOU GO BACK TO BED? Fuck that shit. Leave the campsite during the middle of the night to go home when- #1. one guy saw a bizarre, dark, large, humanoid figure in the woods before dark that apparently scared him enough to run full speed through the woods, back to camp, #2. audible, large movements in the darkness just outside/around the campground, #3. unnatural 'stick shrines' placed all over the mountain and woods that are seemingly uninhabited, #4. Oh... and that crazy ass scream coming from the darkness.
Maybe it's just me, but trekking out into the night just doesn't sound like a good idea. I know when people are scared they don't always make the most rational decisions... but come on now. :D

The Dancing Mania of Aachen

Click to expand...
One of the first recorded Raves in mankind's history

best part was this

It was nevertheless poorly understood, and remedies were based on guesswork. Generally, musicians accompanied dancers, to help ward off the mania, but this tactic sometimes backfired by encouraging more to join in.

Bartholomew notes that music was often played while participants danced, as that was believed to be an effective remedy,[1]:136 and during some outbreaks musicians were even employed to play.[1]:139 Midelfort describes how the music encouraged others to join in however, and thus effectively made things worse, as did the dancing places that were sometimes set up.[4]:35

Quick question, any stupid screamers anywhere in this thing, like in the videos?

There is a video or two of the scream they heard, but it is clearly labeled so you are ready for it and the volume is appropiately set. So no, no screamers.

He does a good job recapping in the link J-Rod provided, but to get the full effect I recommend backtracking to his older blogs and reading them as they were supplied.
 
Would you guys say tulpas can "explain" pretty much every supernatural occurrence?

By the way, I wish we had more doppleganger stories. Mothman, Men in black and dopplegangers are the shit, yo.

EDIT: I mean "explain" in a very loose way, as there's eletromagnetic fields, being touched in the head, etc.

Can a supernatural occurrence explain all other supernatural occurrences? Hey, sure. :)

Doppleganger stories creep the shit out of me, too. I'm sure it's been posted here before (possibly by me!) but the tale of Emilie Sagée always gave me a case of the jibblies:

A famous case is that of a young French teacher in Latvia, Emilie Sagée. Most of her students in 1846 and 1846 often witnessed Sagée’s twin appear and disappear in full view. The double would often mimic the young woman’s movements, be very active while Sagee remained motionless, and appear healthy during times that Sagée was known to be ill. In the middle of class one day, while Sagée was writing on the blackboard, her exact double appeared beside her. The doppelganger precisely copied the teacher's every move as she wrote, except that it did not hold any chalk. The event was witnessed by 13 students in the classroom. Another time, all the students in the school saw Sagée working in the school’s gardens at the same time that they could see her sitting in a chair in the room with them! When two of the more courageous students attempted to interact with the image in the chair, they discovered an “odd resistance in the air surrounding it.” Ms. Sagee never did see her own double, though she claims to feel tired and fatigued when people report seeing one near her.

"Tulpa" as in the Buddhist term? Absolutely, in those cases where the affected person really believes that something occured. The second a supernatural occurence is confirmed it's no longer supernatural. Neither is it supernatural if it was a fraud all along. All that remain are tulpas.

I'm interpreting the term as that the mind fools itself into thinking the illusion exists, by the way. It can also mean that the object actually exists (or really, that the two are the same).
 
I was working night shift with friend. We were in testing room. We took break around 3 am. The bathroom hand dryer turned on we were in cafeteria. We were alone in the company went to check it out the lights were still off. The bathroom has light sensor and everything. We ran back upstairs.

What is a 'tulpa'? I did a cursory search, and only found references to Buddhism.

edit: Ok, I assume you did.

I've mentioned these before, but what do people think of the 'Incorruptibles'?

I read up on it and to be fair it sounds like Catholic mysterist propaganda of some kind. Sure, if the idea was that these bodies never decayed in any form, then that would be pretty cool, but if the story is that bodies can be "partially" incorruptable for some time, then that's just circumstances. Plus all the evidence the site I looked at had was of saints at display in Rome, most of which I'm sure were embalmed. Lenin sure as hell wasn't Catholic and look at his body.
 
I'll share a real life experience, not quite as creepy as most on here but hey-hoh.

There's an abandoned, boardered up house out in the middle of nowhere that i've drove past a few times. Me and two friends thought it would be cool to go check it out one night armed with a flash light. As we drove up to the house in the dead of night we all got a really eerie feeling, mainly due to the house looking sketchy as hell. So after looking around for a place to get in without breaking anything, we found a lose wooden panel that was covering a hole in a wall that led into the back of the house.

We did rock, paper scissors to determine who would go in first and luckily I was on the winning end. So we all climbed in one after the other and found ourselves in a downstairs bathroom. Upon exploring around downstairs we noticed most of the rooms had been burnt and there were a load of scrathes on the walls in each room that resembled human fingernails.

The upstairs of the house was completely boarded and we decided best to stick to downstairs as some of the floors could be unstable also it was completely pitch black apart from the single flash light we had between us which was far from reassuring, especially for my friend at the back. So we continued on down a narrow hallway which led to a couple of back rooms. In the hallway was some sort of family photo which at a guess was taken around 1920s, the picture being black and white and all.. studying the photo there were around 10 people, we all commented on how moody they looked.

As we entered the back room we found some sort of really old washing machine, or what resembled one and behind it my friend found a childs stuffed doll. We joked how cliche it was but also quite odd as the doll appeared to be fairly new and in pristine condition where's everything else was in the worse state, and this is where it started to get wierd.

All of a sudden there was a huge thud at the back of the house, we all completely crapped our pants and ran into the next room which led onto the rest of the house. We were getting hysterical and I made everyone shut up to see if we could hear anything. The sound of footsteps in the house could clearly be heard by all of us so we immediatly turned the flash light of and crouched into a corner of the room in complete fear, it was almost pitch black.

After 10 seconds the footsteps stopped but we laid low for a further 30 secs in silence and darkness to see if they would start again. After nothing we put the flash light back on and moved back into the room with the doll, straight away my friend said the doll wasn't in the place he left it. We saw him put it back on the floor but it was now sitting on top of the washing machine type thing in a limp position. We all agreed enough was enough and it was time to gtfo so headed for the bathroom, that being the only way out. When walking down the hallway the light from the flashlight hit the painting we saw that it had been burnt, especially around the facial areas of the people in it and most of them were now faceless, the picture was in a fine condition when we saw it a mere 5 minutes ago and the burn marks did not look recent.

After seeing this we ran to the bathroom muttering "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" but when we got there the wooden board had been back in place. At this point my friend thought me and my other friend were playing a prank on him, I assured him it wasn't and started frantically kicking at the board in an attempt to break it free. All of a sudden two loud thuds were heard at the other end of the house similar to the one we heard earlier, about 10 seconds after the taps in the bathroom shot on. My friend slammed the bathroom door shut and screamed "get me the fuck outta here!"

Scared as hell, me and my friend started to kick at the board in a synchronised fashion whilst the other held the door shut. Luckily we broke it down after 3or4 kicks so we all shot out and ran to the car as fast as we could. Ofcourse, my friend stalled a couple of times in sheer panic and we were all yelling at him, lol. We drove to the nearest public place which was 10mins away and it happened to be a pub. We went in and just sat there still terrified, trying to rationalise the whole situation. Was scary stuff man :(
 
Awesome story Mulligan!
This is why I believe there is another "realm" for lack of a better word, that our science simply cannot understand. You can easily brush off a story like this as "Nah, the guy's imagining things, he's obviously crazy". But when a group of people experience the same thing, you can't deny there is something else out there that can't be explained by science.

Someones been watching too much Fringe me thinks.

It's pretty well accepted that it's a spy game seeing as most points of broadcast they have found are on military bases.

The Portraits

There was a hunter in the woods, who, after a long day hunting, was in the middle of an immense forest. It was getting dark, and having lost his bearings, he decided to head in one direction until he was clear of the increasingly oppressive foliage. After what seemed like hours, he came across a cabin in a small clearing. Realizing how dark it had grown, he decided to see if he could stay there for the night. He approached, and found the door ajar. Nobody was inside. The hunter flopped down on the single bed, deciding to explain himself to the owner in the morning.

As he looked around the inside of the cabin, he was surprised to see the walls adorned by several portraits, all painted in incredible detail. Without exception, they appeared to be staring down at him, their features twisted into looks of hatred and malice. Staring back, he grew increasingly uncomfortable. Making a concerted effort to ignore the many hateful faces, he turned to face the wall, and exhausted, he fell into a restless sleep.

The next morning, the hunter awoke - he turned, blinking in unexpected sunlight. Looking up, he discovered that the cabin had no portraits, only windows.

I make it a point to bookmark this thread and only read it during the day time. If I ever see it bumped at night I rarely come in here since I have an overactive imagination.
 
Sorry Mulligan, but pics or it didn't happen. These days, there's hardly a person, especially one literate enough to use the internet who doesn't have a cell phone with some kind of camera on it. If you were in such a place, I would've been snapping pictures constantly, and using my phone's flashlight app when not taking pics. Then once you started hearing noises, I'd be switching to video mode, and trying to get as much audio as possible.

That's the problem I have with almost every paranormal story I hear/read, it's always someone's story, but that's all they can offer. When there are pics of a paranormal event, they look fake or staged. I would've been snapping a photo every step I took, especially if I went to the length to actually go inside, even before anything creepy happened.
