Audubon House Doll

This extremely creepy looking doll can be found in the Audubon house in Key West Florida. The house itself is considered haunted and people have reported seeing aparations of children in the nursery and things moving around on their own.

This doll belonged to the young girl that lived in the Audubon house. Whenever visitors tried to take photos of the strange looking doll, they all experienced problems with their cameras. Either pictures just didn’t come out at all, or black streaks appeared like the one in this picture.

This is truly incredible.

Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.

Reddit users have recently discovered an unusual translation from Google Translate. Typing dog several times and translating from Yoruba to English, then slowly decreasing the amount of times dog is typed, ultimately provides a sinister doomsday message. This method used to work for the Hawaiian translation as well, but that has since been fixed. While creepy, it’s most likely that this is a glitch from Google’s learning algorithm, and will also be fixed eventually.

In Hiroshima, there are permanent shadows caused by the intensity of the blast from the bomb that was dropped. Nuclear bombs emit EM(electromagnetic) radiation which was absorbed by the people or objects that were in front of the radiation. So if they were far enough away from the blast, they wouldn’t have been incinerated, but still would have cast a shadow.

Since thermal radiation is light, and since light travels from a central point, everything in its path is burned except when there is something blocking it, so it creates this shadow effect. The surfaces behind the matter (the objects you see the shadows of) received much less radiation bleaching so there is a visible difference

St. Augustine Lighthouse

A personal favorite of ours and one place we have visited numerous times is the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida. The above two pictures are of paranormal entities that were caught in the lighthouse. The lighthouse is the subject of various and numerous ghost stories and legends.

Caledonia Mills

This farmhouse in Nova Scotia was a legend during its time, and still is today. In 1922, a married couple and their adopted daughter, Mary Ellen, lived there briefly. While there, they experienced over 30 unexplained fires and poltergeist activity, such as ashes being mixed into cow’s milk and finding the cows moved around and the horse’s tails braided. The fires were never explained, and the family eventually fled, though later Dr. Walker Prince, who investigated the home, accused 15-year-old Mary Ellen of being responsible. She earned the nickname Mary Ellen Spook. After the family moved away, the strange fires ceased. Despite the farm being long gone, a legend still persists that if anyone takes a remnant of the home, such as a brick or other material left behind, the property it is brought to will burn down.

Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera, with the help of his partner Kyoichi Mori was one of the first scientist to film the giant squid in its natural habitat. They relied on sperm-whale paths to find this squid, as sperm-whales prey on giant squids.

Scientist have learned that the giant squid uses a more agressive hunting style than they thought.

Just imagine what else is still out there.

THIS video taken from a nanny cam shows what appears to be a baby being lifted by an unseen entity. It appears as if the baby is asking someone to pick him up, but no one else is in the room with him. In the last GIF it looks as if someone/something is pulling his arm up right before letting it go after which the baby falls back down into the crib. The movement of the baby’s hands seem controlled and unnatural.

Some people are saying that baby just has really good balance and is simply crying out for his parents. Some speculate that it is supernatural in nature. Below is the link to the video so you can decide for yourself.

Ye Old Man & Scythe Pub Ghost

Back in 2014, the CCTV Camera at the pub caught what appears to be an apparition moving in and out of sight. The Ye Old Man & Scythe Pub is the fourth oldest pub in Britain and it dates back to 1251. 

Ye Olde Man and Scythe has a long and interesting history. The ghost in the footage is considered to be that of The Earl of Derby who was executed outside the pub in 1651 after the Bolton Massacre.

Joe Cummings, an aspiring actor, living in NY claims that a woman had been living in a storage area above his kitchen. He claims to have no idea how she got there and for how long she lived there. 

He noticed food was missing that he had not touched. You can see her eating his food and also using his sink as a toilet.

The story is very familiar to the case of the 58 year old woman living in a man’s closet for a year, which happened in Japan. The woman had snuck into his home when the door was unlocked. Had been taking showers and sharing his food for a year before she was discovered through hidden cameras as well.

Victorian era pictures are already creepy, but parents hiding behind their kids to keep them still just adds to the creepiness.

Don Julian was a hermit who lived in a shack located on the island. He claimed that the ghost of a young girl who drowned in the canal haunted him. To appease her angry spirit, Julian began collecting baby dolls and hanging them from the trees for her to play with. In 2001, Julian was found dead by his nephew. He had drowned in the same canal as the girl who tormented him through out his life.

Tourists who visit the island today claim to hear the dolls whispering and some of the dolls open and shut their eyes on their own accord. The island has been featured on the Syfy Channel show Destination Truth, in which a paranormal investigating team spent the night on the island. They had a terrifying experience, seeing apparitions, feeling inexplicable paranoia, and hearing disembodied voices.

There have been accounts of these dolls speaking in different tongues and moving their heads.

I would love to go here

The Betz Sphere 

The Betz family lived on a large 88-Acre property near Jacksonville Florida. In the early 1970s their property was ravaged by a fire and during its inspection, they came across this perfect silver sphere which was 8 inches in diameter.

The Betz family thought it might be a new kind of government probe or satellite and decided to take the artifact home with them. They didn’t think much of it until it started behaving in odd ways.

 The first thing they observed in regards to the sphere was that it resonated with a frequency in response to their son strumming his guitar and that terrified their dog. When they rolled the sphere it would stop, turn around and come back towards the person who pushed it. The family claimed that it could also climb up a slanted table. Needless to say, a media frenzy ensued. Articles about the sphere appeared in publications like the New York Times and London Daily.

Even stranger things started happening at the Betz residence. Doors would open and slam shut on their own, strange music would play randomly, and their dog started staying outside because it was too afraid to come near the sphere. The family handed the sphere over to the Navy once things became unbearable for them.

After running a battery of tests, the Navy determined that the ball was nothing but an ordinary stainless steel ball which was probably part of an art project that belonged to a sculptor known as James Durling-Jones.

“Return to Babylon” is a silent film by Alex Monty Canawati(who wanted to make an old fashioned silent movie). A very creepy and strange silent film if I may add. What’s strange about it? Well, it is said that you can see the dead faces of actors or demons morphing in the film. It is based on Hollywood scandals and tragedies from the early 1900′s. There were no special effects used for this but you can see strange morphing faces and hands.According to the Brooks Institute of Photography the film “breaks all rules of cinema logic.” The frames have also been looked at by Dr. Albert Taylor, and several paranormal groups have seen the stills online and can offer no explanations for the strange morphings.
