| 2015Somebody filmed this video in Saudi Arabia.
They say this could be a real WITCH. What do you think? The two Saudi police officers came across a mysterious entity.
What you see in the video is a hostile military area where no civilians live. The chilling reaction of the police seems to be genuine.
Someone called this video something like "a real witch found in India" but the language of these men doesn't sound indian at all.
This is pretty creepy, even if it is fake. And the terror in the guy's voice does sound real. Sounds like he's apologizing to it and begging it to leave him alone.

| 2007I moved out from my parents place a couple weeks back to start my career. I’m only 19 and paranormal activities are new to me.
A week into working, I was heading home after work at around 9:30 pm and it was heavily raining. I lived in a flat downstairs to a small family that live upstairs, as the story goes, I came home and I was sleep deprived so I sat on the couch to get a bit of shut eye since I was running in the rain from work to the house.
An hour later I woke up to have a shower and as I was getting into the shower, I heard a knock on my door so I put a towel on and walked to the door to answer. As I opened I heard from the distance that there were footsteps heading towards me... Read More |

| 2015This photo was taken in my basement. My sister took it and showed me.
There is no explanation for the happening or anything. We have no idea who it was although it could be my grandmother.
My sister sent me the photo and the only thing done was cropping out the stairs. This is a real actual photo.
We all slept together that night: Me, my sister, her boyfriend, and my cousin. We also smelled my grandmother's perfume as well. We aren't sure if it was her or the previous owners who had died here. There is not much to this story, but that seems to be the most weirdest and coldest place in my house.
Always by the basement door, we get the chills. If anything else comes up, it will be... Read More |
| 1877The small town of Watseka, located in the northeastern corner of the state and just a few miles from the Indiana border, was just like any other midwestern farm town in the late 1800's. Little out of the ordinary occurred here --- until July 1877. It was in this month that what became known as the "Watseka Wonder" first came to prominence here.
It was at this time that a 13 year-old girl name Lurancy Vennum first began to fall into mysterious, catatonic trances during which she claimed that she was able to speak to angels and the spirits of the dead. The strange spells would often occur many times each day and some of them would last for hours. During the trances, Lurancy would speak in... Read More |
| 1932In rural Wisconsin, there is an old abandoned park. Built in the 1920s, it served as the town’s gathering place for everyone. That is, until a newly developed Train and Tunnel for Tots™ ride was installed in 1932. It was an innocent looking childish train, with one main (mechanized) head car, with three small trolleys pulled behind it. It went around some loops before going into a small tunnel.
But this is where the story gets weird. There were numerous cases of child deaths that year, all of them happening after the child rode on that train system. Some kids went missing in that short tunnel (about ten feet), and others went comatose after leaving. One, upon exiting, was found to be... Read More |

| 1960The story of Bloody Mary aka Mary Worth:
She lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage and sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross the old crone for fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch could do to her neighbors.
Then the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could find out where they had gone. Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the local buildings, and all the houses and barns, but there was no sign of the missing girls. A few... Read More |

| 2013In February of 2013 Elisa Lam had been missing for two weeks. She had been staying in the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Hotel guests started complaining about a foul taste in the water and low pressure. On February 19th Elisa Lam's body was found inside a covered rooftop water tank. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning. Pretty gross that the guests were drinking a decomposing body.
A couple of aspects of this story are very mysterious. Elisa was seen on security video entering an elevator. Elisa presses all of the buttons in the elevator and appears to be waiting for someone. The elevator door won't close, which usually means that something is blocking the track. Elisa steps out... Read More |
| 1998In December of 1998, a homeless man wandered through Edinburgh’s storm-lashed streets. Seeking shelter from the night’s downpour he staggered into Greyfriars Kirkyard and broke into one of the old mausoleums in the Covenanter’s Prison section—no doubt attracted by its intact roof. Inside, the vault was pitch-black and the brave (or foolhardy) vagrant decided to explore his surroundings with what meagre light he possessed. He removed an iron grate in the floor and descended a short, twisting, stone staircase and entered a second chamber. There, he came across four wooden coffins. Perhaps looking for valuables to steal, the man began to smash open the dusty caskets. As he did so, a hole... Read More |
