The Ghost Face of UTMB Galveston

—

>the likeness of a human face (specifically, the likeness of a William A. 'Bigfoot' Wallace) that first appeared on the outer fourth-story wall of Building #71 (Ewing Hall) of the University of Texas Medical Branch campus in the 1980s, shortly after the construction of the building

>after the appearance of the face, the university had it sand-blasted; however, soon after, the face had appeared once more, this time on the third floor

>the image was sandblasted again, only for it to reappear on the second floor, after which the university ceased its efforts to remove it

>the face is purported to have manifested as a result of a land dispute, in which said 'Bigfoot' Wallace was entitled to a grant a land which the state of Texas refused to yield, with the face only appearing once the state of Texas erected a building on the parcel of land claimed by the then-dead claimant

The Abandoned Lifeboat of Bouvet Island

—

>in 1964, Lieutenant Commander Allan Crawford of the U.K. and his crew landed on Bouvet Island - the most remote island in the world - to investigate a relatively 'new' (~10 years) piece of land that had risen due to volcanic ability and to test its ability to host a weather tower

>upon reaching the island by helicopter (travel by ship is nearly impossible, as the sides of the island are ice cliffs), they were met by the sight of an empty lifeboat floating in the landlocked lagoon within this 'new' piece of land

>the oars of the lifeboat were on shore, neatly laid out together next to some rope and a copper tank

>no bodies or other signs of human presence were found

>the lifeboat was unmarked (i.e. unidentifiable)

>the crew of Lieutenant Commander Allan Crawford took a photo of the object, and proceeded to carry out their task

>a few years later, a Norwegian Arctic expedition proceeded to land on the island again to construct a weather station; however, they were unable to find any trace of the lifeboat, the oars, or the copper tank.

Perhaps not really 'paranormal', but certainly mysterious, considering the remoteness of the island.

Room 428, Wilson Hall:

—

>a dormitory hall in the Ohio University campus in Athens built in 1965 that is claimed to be the site of strange occurrences, particularly the room numbered #428

>popular rumors tell that a student committed suicide in said room in the 1970s; other rumors tell of a student who dabbled in the occult and became unhinged

>regardless of the truth of these rumors, room #428 is currently closed and unavailable to students

>the room was given its current status by the university administration after a number of student-tenants reported standard poltergeist activity, the appearance of 'shadowy entities', disembodied voices and footsteps, 'spirit-rappings' and, most unsettling and notable of all, the appearance of an eerie 'demon face' on the inside of the room's main door, which kept reappearing despite the administration removing and replacing the door a number of times before it simply declared the room 'uninhabitable'.

It seems to this day, the university administration still considers room #428 uninhabitable.

The Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head:

—

>a terracotta artifact discovered in 1933 in a tomb located in the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca archeological zone, some 60km south of Mexico city

>due to its dissimilarity to Mesoamerican art motifs and its stylistic closeness to Greco-Roman art, the small head has been held as evidence of pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic contact

>an assessment of the case was made in 2001 by a joint American & Mexican effort claiming: "This result clears up the doubts of Colonial manufacture of the artifact, and makes the hypothesis of Roman origin… applicable. The identification of the head as Roman work from the II–III century A.D. has been further confirmed by Bernard Andreae… According to Andreae "[the head] is without any doubt Roman, and the lab analysis has confirmed that it is ancient. The stylistic examination tells us more precisely that it is a Roman work from around the II century A.D., and the hairstyle and the shape of the beard present the typical traits of the Severian emperors period [193-235 A.D.], exactly in the ‘fashion’ of the epoch."

>A thermoluminescence test performed in 1995 by a German institute, established its age range to somewhere between the 9th century BC and the middle of the 13th century AD, confirming a pre-colonial origin

>however, Payón (the supervisor of the original dig and the 'discoverer' of the artifact) did not publish information about the head itself until 1960, some 27 years after its supposed finding.

Interesting OOPArt. The head is believed to be of authentic Roman origin, though researchers are cautious, saying that the face was most likely carried aboard a wrecked ship carried by sea currents from Roman outposts on Lanzarote and Tenerife in the Atlantic to the Americas. Other hypothesis as to how it ended up in a grave of a Mesoamerican noble are that: one, evidence of a European (Norse/Viking/Varangian) visit to the region; two, that the figure was originally traded/carried to Asia, and from there, it reached the Americas via a 'trans-Pacific' trade route.

But there is also the problem that the existence of the head was only reported so many years after it was supposedly found…

Cash-Landrum incident, 1980:

—

>one of the very few UFO cases to result in (civil) court proceedings

>on the evening of December 29, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Colby Landrum (Vickie's grandson) were driving home to Dayton, Texas after dining out

>at about 9 pm, while driving on an isolated road in dense woods, the witnesses said they observed a light above some trees, but thinking it was an airplane approaching Houston Intercontinental Airport (~35 miles away) they gave it little notice.

>a few minutes later on the winding road, the witnesses saw what they believed to be the same light as before, but much closer and very bright

>the light, they claimed, came from a huge diamond-shaped object, which hovered at about treetop level

>the object's base was expelling flame and emitting significant heat; Cash stopped the car, though Vickie Landrum - a born-again Christian - believed she was witnessing the Second Coming of Christ, telling her grandson that Jesus would not hurt them

>the two women went outside to investigate the object, but got back in the car due to the Landrum's grandson becoming frantic

>the witnesses said the heat was strong enough to make the car's metal body painful to the touch—Cash said she had to use her coat to protect her hand from being burnt when she finally re-entered the car

>when she touched the car's dashboard, Landrum's hand pressed into the softened vinyl, leaving an imprint that was evident weeks later: investigators later cited this handprint as proof of the witnesses' account

>at some point, the object rose up into the sky, and the witnesses claim black helicopters approached and surrounded it

>after the UFO and helicopters left, Cash took the Landrums home, then retired for the evening

>that night, they all experienced similar symptoms, though Cash to a greater degree: all suffered from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, generalized weakness, a burning sensation in their eyes, and feeling as though they'd suffered sunburns

>however, Cash eventually had to be hospitalized after her condition deteriorated such that patches of her hair and skin started to fall away; the Landrums also sought medical attention, though their conditions were less severe

>a radiologist who examined the witnesses' medical records for MUFON wrote, "We have strong evidence that these patients have suffered secondary damage to ionizing radiation. It is also possible that there was an infrared or ultraviolet component as well."

>however, [some] contend that, although the symptoms were similar to those caused by ionizing radiation, the rapidity of onset was only consistent with a massive dose that would have meant certain death in a few days

>since all of the victims lived for years after the incident, [some] suggest the cause of the symptoms was some kind of chemical contamination, presumably by an aerosol

>Vickie Landrum telephoned a number of U.S. government agencies and officials about the encounter, and eventually, MUFON began research on the case

>due to the helicopters' presence (identified as Chinooks), the witnesses presumed that at least one branch of the United States Armed Forces had witnessed the object

>in 1982, Lt. Col. George Sarran of the Department of the Army Inspector General began the only thorough formal governmental investigation into the supposed UFO encounter, but could find no any evidence that the helicopters the witnesses claimed to have seen belonged to the U.S. Armed Forces.

>eventually, Cash and Landrum contacted their U.S. Senators, who suggested that the witnesses file a complaint with the Judge Advocate Claims office at Bergstrom Air Force Base

>with an attorney taking on the case pro bono, the case wound its way through the U.S. Courts for several years

>Cash and Landrum sued the U.S government for $20 million

>on August 21, 1986, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed their

The Ummo Affair:

>a series of decade-long claims that beings from the planet 'Ummo' were communicating with people on Earth

>the phenomenon first began in 1966, when a number of UFO/Forteana enthusiasts, supposed contactees and clairvoyants, occultists, poets, and writers in France and Spain began receiving mysterious correspondence from anonymous sources

>these were usually very detailed letters documenting facets of Ummite society, culture, history, and technology

>within the year, various persons (mostly in Madrid, but some in Paris) received about 150 Ummite documents, totaling over 1000 pages; in some two years, the affair had reached mainstream news outlets in Europe, and

>every page of these documents was stamped with the same symbol of three linked lines, similar to the alchemical symbol for Uranus

>new Ummite documents would continue surfacing for many subsequent years

>many others have received Ummo letters, including French scientist Jean-Pierre Petit, a researcher at the CNRS.

>the true identity of the author(s) of said pieces of correspondence remains unknown.

>to this day, it is widely assumed that the Ummo affair was an elaborate hoax: it is rumored that the entire thing was orchestrated by the CIA or the KGB, though the reasons why remain unknown, and other theories point to the New Left movement (which would erupt in 1968 regardless)

>to the present day, a small number of devotees still claim to regularly receive correspondence from these 'Ummites', including a Bolivian cult known as 'the Daughters of Ummo'.

http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ummo/Ummo,Wikipedia.htm

Here's some more basic info on the Ummo Affair which I can't hope to fit here. Below is a site compiling a great number of the supposed correspondence from Ummo, but most of it is in French, although some of it is in English.

Odd case, I think - sounds like some kind of government-sponsored disinfo, to me, but I'll let you come to your opinion.

The Bennington Triangle Disappearances, 1920s - 1950s:

—

>the 'Bennington Triangle' phrase was coined in 1992 by Joseph Citro in reference to a number of strange disappearances in Vermont between 1920-1950, the most well-known being the disappearances of Middie Rivers. Paula Welden, James Tedford, Paul Jepson, Frieda Langer, and lesser-known others ingrained into the folklore of the area

>the most mysterious of the aforementioned was that of James Tedford, who disappeared despite being in a bus full of people

>Tedford - a veteran of WWII - was on his way home to Bennington from a trip to St. Albans, Vermont; there were 14 other passengers in the bus, not including the driver

>they all testified to seeing him there, sleeping in his seat

>however, upon reaching its destination, Tedford had vanished

>his luggage was found in the rack above his seat, and plainly on his seat, his bus timetable

>Tedford was never seen or heard from again

Oddly enough, from reading around, it seems the wife of this James Tedford had also disappeared earlier before. Upon his return from the front lines in World War II, his wife was nowhere to be found, and the property they had been renting was found to be abandoned. The last sighting of her by other townspeople of the area was her walking to an Amoco store.

Concerning the other disappearances, here's the wikipedia link. Most of them seem odd, but certainly not as odd as that of James Tedford, for the rest of them disappeared as they were walking around in a trail or being in places where they could have wandered off without being noticed, if they wanted to, whereas Tedford was in a moving vehicle surrounded by other people.

I wonder if David Paulides has looked into these?

The Broad Haven Triangle:

—

>a village and small-time seaside resort on the coast of Wales

>site of a number of odd one-time UFO sightings and 'visitations' in February of 1977

>the first report occurred in February 4th when a yellow cigar-shaped craft supposedly landed in a field next to t he Broadhaven Primary School

>14 students reported seeing a silver 'humanoid' creature, which frightened them and caused them to run back to the school building, where they drew their rendition of the creature at the instruction of the headmaster

>the UK's MoD became involved, discreetly

>the second sighting occurred on the 17th of February, when teachers and parents outside of the school reported seeing a silvery 'creature' boarding a luminous cigar-shaped object

>the last sighting occurred in April, when a local business owner claimed to see an 'upside down' flying saucer in a nearby field by the sea, with two humanoid creatures standing by

>the MoD classified the case and never gave an explanation

It's a shame I'm at work, because I think (I might be wrong) I have a screencap of some BBC news flash in my PC at home, which concerns some de-classification of a number of UFO investigations made by the MoD in 2010 or some recent year; but I think this screencap might refer to this case, in which it can be seen: "MoD declassifies UFO investigation files… 1970s through 1990s… children reported seeing 'entity' with a large head and odd suit…", followed by a drawing of this entity by the children.

Anyways, here's the link to the case.

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread871551/pg1

Bumping this great thread, I will post some cases.

Conil de la Frontera UFO case

>Andalusia, Spain, September 29th. In a coastal city named Conil de la Frontera.

>Since September 15th a group of youngsters have been watching weird lights in one of the city's beaches at night.

>Always at the same hour, two sources of light flash at each other with the same pattern.

>On September 29th the group is waiting for the light show like previous days, and they carry binoculars to better appreciate the event.

>A third light appears that night, and with it two tall humanoids appear sudenly in the beach, their faces and robes glow with an intense white.

>They move towards the group of young people, who start running away until the two humanoids stop.

>The beings look at one of the UFOs in the sky, a second later a small blue light falls on them. Next, they lie down in the sand, moving it around to cover themselves.

>They start passing each other the blue light. When they stand up again they have turned into a nordic-looking couple.

>They walk out of the beach and into the streets. To avoid losing them the group tries to follow, but something draws their attention.

>A strange fog rises at the shore, and with it a third humanoid, 10ft tall, a white head like an inverted pear, big black eyes and wearing a black overall.

>He begins moving towards the west, floating over the sand. Two of the kids try to pursue him.

>When they are at about 50/60 meters from him, he turns around, which scares them; they return with the group.

>At about 09:30pm the third humanoid and the lights finally disappear.

>Later, with the work of investigators, they discovered that the "couple" from the beach checked into a hotel with true identities.

>The government tried to denied everything by declaring that the lights were from a british ship that was laying submarine cables.

>And that the humanoids were divers that came from the ship, reaching the shore in a Zodiac boat.

Very interesting case and one of my favorites, unfortunately it didn't transcend into the public due to the Voronezh case happening practically at the same time.

The only good and detailed source of information (with pictures and sketches) that I have found is in spanish. If you are interested I can translate the case from a book and post it.

Poltergeist in a government building in Granada, Spain

>In December, 1986, the employees that worked in the building said that they didn't want to keep working there.

>They said that strange events were taking place inside, cabinets that weighed more than 300 pounds moving by themselves.

>People being dragged accross the floor, lights turning on and off, inexplicable voices…

>Looking back in history, multiple funerary mosques and churches were built one above the other where the government building is now.

>In 1891 a dark event occurs in the street. A politician was passing by in a horse carriage, while a funeral was taking place in the nearby church.

>When the funeral procession reached the carriage, the horse panicked, running over multiple people and killing several children.

>Some time later the same politician used his influence to close the church. People began to say that "Now the spirits won't be able to find their way".

>In that same century there was a cloths store nearby, where people started hanging themselves fearing that something was going to kill them.

>Around 1973 a multinational company, Woolworth, buys the building and turns it into a block of concrete.

>During the work macabre discoveries were made. In one of the walls of the ancient foundings they found kids' bones.

>In the brief time in which Woolworth had the building, the employees declared that weird things were happening; nobody wanted to go down to the basement, not even the customers.

>The company abandoned the building, and years later, the government bought it.

>Time later the employees began to tell their stories. Furniture and doors moving by themselves, objects being thrown into the floor, weird lights, voices from nowhere.

>The workers started to put images and pictures of saints and crucifixes in the rooms. They were truly scared by all the poltergeist phenomenology.

>In that same year a group of investigators were given permission to enter the building. And over the course of three days they recorded a lot of EVP.

>And they also suffered the same events that the workers have been described.

>Several investigation groups explored the building afterwards, and all of them recorded proof.

>Nowadays the building has been remodelated, turning it from the concrete block that was because of Woolworth, to a more open and bright place.

>The strange events that happen in the building have reduced their intensity, but they're still there.

The Disappearence of Dorothy Arnold:

>December 21st, 1910.

>Dorothy Arnold, daughter and heiress of a perfume tycoon, leaves her parents house to buy a dress for a party.

>She walks down Fifth Avenue, greeting several acquaintances, stopping for buying chocolates and books.

>The bookstore was in 27th Street. The clerk and several friend who happpened to be there all said she was in a cheerful, energetic mood.

>They were the last ones to see her.

>When she didn't appear for dinner at her house, her parents began a desperate, but they didn't call the police. they used the services of the Pinkertons, and the family's lawyer and friend, John S. Keith.

>Keith inspected the asylums, morgues, and hoispitals of three cities, but he never found Dorothy. The Pinkertons also didn't find a trace of her, despite scouring New York's underworld for clues about her destiny.

>Defeated, Mr. Arnold spoke with the press, announcing he believed her daughter had been attacked near Central Park.

>Rumors arose about Dorothy eloping with a lover, one George Griscom Jr. another wealthy socialite.

>Both had some sort of affaire where they spent a week in Boston, some years prior to her disappearance.

>Griscom denied the rumors, and began his own search for Dorothy.

>The case became a sensation and widespread search of Dorothy ensued. People swore seeing him everywhere in the Union. From New England to the North California, even in Canada and México.

>Wild stories and speculation ran about her fate. Ranging from death at the hands of an abortionist, to living in Europe as a spy/actress/dancer.

>Nothing concrete was found.

>People accused Griscom of killing her, after discovering she was pregnant. A convict in Rhode Island told the police he was paid 15$ to dig a grave for the dead heiress, in a cellar in some house at West Point.

>The police searched every cellar in the location told by the convict. they found nothing.

>Griscom would continues paying for Dorothy's search till the end of his days, three decades later. He would died a bachelor.

UFO sighting and chase of a witness in Spain. Part 1

>March 21st, 1974. Salamanca, Spain. Near a town named Valdehijaderos.

>The trucker Maximiliano Iglesias was driving his Ford Avis towards his house in the village of Lagunilla at night, 02:15 am.

>While passing near Valdehijaderos he observed a strong white light on the road in front of him. At about 200 meters (650ft) he stopped his truck.

>The luminosity had decreased, and he could see an oval shaped metallic object, it was about 11 meters (36ft) wide and was on the ground. There was another object to the right of the first one, darker, and moving 16 meters (50ft) above the ground.

>Suddenly the engine and lights of the truck went off. He tried turning them on again, but without success.

>Two beings 2 meters (6ft) tall, wearing what it looked like a diving suit appeared in front of the landed object. They gesticulated and walked to the right of that object, disappearing.

>After nine attempts, Maxi Iglesias, the trucker, finally turned on the engine; at the same time the landed object started elevating diagonally.

>Maxi took advantage of the situation and hit the gas, passing by the two objects.

>At a certain distance he stopped the truck, and bitten by curiosity he looked behind.

>The first object was on the ground again, emitting the same brightness that it had when Maxi saw it first.

>Maxi floored the pedal to get out of there.

UFO sighting and chase of a witness in Spain. Part 2

>That same day, in the evening, Maxi passed again by Valdehijaderos, fearing that he would encounter those objets a second time.

>Near 09:15pm he reached last night's place, and he saw them again.

>One object on the ground, and to its right two objects instead of one, with a gap of 9 meters (30ft) between them.

>The same events of last night happened, when Maxi was about 200 meters from them the engine stopped again.

>And Maxi's shock turned into a nightmare.

>Four beings appeared, with the same characteristics as the two beings from the night before. They pointed to Maxi Iglesias and began walking towards the truck.

>Maxi quickly opened the truck's door and started running down the road.

>He turned his head and saw the four beings chasing him, so he decided to go cross country.

>He ran for two kilometers (1.2 miles), and the initial distance of 200 meters was decreasing. Seeing that his escape was futile, he decided to jump into a drainage ditch to hide.

>From this place he could see the beings looking for him, they were 15 meters (50ft) away from his current position. He held his breath.

>Seconds later the beings split up and Maxi hid his head again. After a few seconds more he looked again and saw no one. He stood up and got out of the ditch.

>He walked to the nearby town of Horcajo. Feeling really scared he didn't call any neighbors. He smoked a cigarette trying to calm himself… and then he made his way back to the truck.

>When he reached the road again he found that the UFOs were still there, but there were no beings nearby.

>As he approached his vehicle he realized that the truck's door that he had opened was closed. He opened it again, and tried to close it without making any noise, but he failed.

>Maybe because of that the four beings appeared again, but this time they didn't go towards Maxi, they just gesticulated and disappeared to the right of the landed UFO.

>The object started to elevate itself above the road, at that moment Maxi could turn on the engine and rapidly passed under the UFO.

>His curiosity got him back, so he stopped the truck and got off. He saw the beings on the road again.

>He started to walk towards the place, hiding in the bushes, until he was close enough to the beings to be able to see what they were doing.

>One of them was introducing some kind of 'T' shaped tool 80 cm (2.6ft) tall into the ground near the road.

>After three minutes he decided to get out of there.

>The next day he told all of this to his boss, fearing that the event would happen for the third time. His boss told him to speak with the police.

>Three days later the police went to his house and questioned him. Afterwards they all went together to the place to examine it. They found a straight line on the road, as if something hard had scratched it.

>They also found two holes near the road, probably made by the 'T' shaped tool.

>Days later a group of researchers found that the area had a certain amount of anomalous radioactivity. Three circles with a 12 meters (40ft) diameter of flattened grass were found near the road.

The Inaccurate Ghost:

>Chicago. 1933.

>A group of people were returning from the A Century of Progress exhibition.

>Near Lake Shore Drive the group founds a girl, standing in the roadside with a suitcase.

>The girl hailed them. The people decided to stop and give her a hitch. She hops on.

>Despite being among them, they couldn't see her well.

>They started talking, it was nice chit chat about the city and the fair. But suddenly, things would turn strange when she told them that "The fair is going to slide off into Lake Michigan in September." Then she gave an address and a phone number to contact her, whenever they want.

>When the passengers turned around to ask her about her prediction, they discovered she had disappeared. Completely vanished.

>Curious about the whole deal, some of the boys went to the address she gave.

>They arrived at a nice, family home in the Chicago suburbs, where a middle aged man was sitting on the porch.

>The boys told them the story, and the man nodded approvingly, as if he was hearing the story once more.

>He said to them ""Yes, that was my wife. She died four years ago."

>The story ends on a weird note for this kind of tale. Despite the celebrated powers of prophecy of ghosts, the Fair never slipped off to the lake.

Ya-te-veo, Man Eating Tree.

According to J. W. Buel's Land and Sea (1897), in the deep jungles of Central América, where there still a lot of unexplored land to these days, exists a strange vegetation which nourishes itself from the blood sucked from animals, big and small alike, even from humans when the opportunity arises.

The explorer gave us a thoroughly description of its appearance and habits:

A short, trunk, similar to a stump, surrounded by long spines, the edges are armed with dagger like teeth. Instead of growing up right or inclines along the trunk, the vicious branches lay on the ground,.

When a unsuspected victim arrives, thinking the trunk is a stump from a dead tree, he sits on it, or simply walks by unaware of the deadly spines, these spring to life, first grabbing his feet, then the rest of the body, penetrating the skin with the barbed wired like teeth, sucking the blood, the branches crush the body, squeezing till the last drop of blood. Once this occurs, the Ya-te-veo throws the empty carcass, and awaits for a new victim.

Several man eating trees have been reported around the world, from Sierra Madre, México, to Madagascar.

>I don't really think that there are weirder cases that in other parts on the world

Electrical People:

There have been cases of people causing electrical phenomena from their bodies. One of them was Angélique La Cottin, from La Pérriere, France. In 1846, when she was 14, a strange condition manifested in her body, whenever she touch an object not made of iron, this would fly away, as rejected by an invisible force around her body; on the contrary, when the object was made or contained iron, it would become attached to her. She was capable also of sending furniture across the room.

Distressed and frightened, her family resorted and exhausted every physician in town. Rumors began to spread about the girl's strange condition. One of the people hearing about La Cottin was the celebrated scientist Francois Arago, who arrived at La Pérriere with group of colleagues from the Académie des Sciences, in order to study Angélique.

Arago noted that her condition was akin to electromagnetism, that the phenomenon peaked at evening, and the force was stronger on her left side, specially the left wrist and elbow. Angélique would suffer seizures while along with her electromagnetic powers, her heartbeat would increase to 128, and she would flee the room in panic.

After ten weeks of attacks, the electric phenomena completely ceased, and Angélique resumed her normal life, feeling relieved.

Frank McKinstry, of Joplin, Missouri, was subject to several tests in 1889 after he reported to feel a "charge" running through his body, once he would get "charged", he need to start moving, if not, he would find himself glued to the ground. And only with the help of others he could lift his feet.

Joseph Louis Hamburger was subject of study the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1890, when he was discovered to be a "human magnet". Metalic object would stick to his chest and arms, even dangle from his fingertips. He could hold a glass full of iron-fillings weighting up to 5lbs.

Between 1883 to 1885, Lulu Hurst made a career out of her electromagnetic powers, called the "Wonder of Gerogia", he toured the Union giving demonstrations in fairs, carnivals and also private homes.

It all began like many poltergeist cases, with China mysteriously being smashed after flying off the shelves, strange noises at night, doors and windows being opened, furniture changing place, voices coming from nowhere shouting "Yes" or "No".

The day after the noises started, Lulu handed a

relative a chair. As the chair twisted in Lulu’s grasp four men tried to hold it, but the forces were too great, the chair broke into pieces and they were flung violently backwards. Lulu, like Angélique, ran screaming from the house.

In her act she would play variations of a little girl defeating several grown up men. She would hold a billiard cue from one, two men at the other end would try to wrestle her from it.

She could also lift three men sitting on each other’s laps on the same chair, merely resting her open palms on its back. She would then lightly touch the chair while five men tried in vain to budge it from the spot.

Her career came to an abrupt end in 1885, when she became 17 years old, her powers disappeared. She married her stage manager.

The "First" Saucer:

>January 2nd, 1878, Dennison, Texas.

>A farmer named John Martin was hunting on Tuesday morning, when he looked up to the sky.

>He saw a dark object flying on the southern sky, a spot at first then it increased its size and speed.

>The object posed directly below him. He noted the circumference reminded him that of a saucer, though the general appearance of the aircraft was more of a giant balloon.

>The object spent some moments above him, and then parted at an incredible speed, fading into the horizon.

>>22321

Well, at that time people were still exploring remote places, and knowing that there could be trees that will drain your blood like a vampire is not a very encouraging expectation.

>>22322

Fair enough. A shame that Belmez is fucking far away from where I live.

And now another case:

The Devil's footprints

>On the morning of February 8th, 1855. Devonshire, England.

>When the inhabitants of several towns in Devon woke up that morning, they found out that on the fresh snow that had fell during last night were multiple hoof-shaped footprints.

>The path of these footprints ran across long stretches of land, over the roofs of houses and barns and through walls, covering over 100 miles and never passing by the same place twice.

>The distance between the footprints was always the same, seeming that the obstacles were nothing for whatever it was that caused the phenomena.

>In an article written for Illustrated London News, February 24th, it is described how the footprints seem to pass through a 12 inch hole, a 6 inch drainage ditch and across a 2 miles wide river, in all these cases the footprints end at the beginning of the obstacle and continue on the other side.

>The measure of the footprints: 4” long, 3” wide and with a separation of 9” between them.

>Another characteristic of the footprints is that they were completely defined, as if something heavy and/or very hot had crushed the snow.

>Many different theories were made about what had caused the footprints, from mass hysteria to kangaroos.

>There are reports of this kind of event happening in other parts of the world, but none of them as well documented and big as this one.

Little Miss Nobody:

>Sand Wash Creek, Arizona, July 31st,1960.

>A family searching for rocks founds in the bed of the river the corpse of a young girl.

>According to the forensics the girl could have been of 4 up to 9 years old. She had a set of baby teeth.

>The experts could never determined the cause of the death. A pocket knife with bloodstains was found near the scene, but couldn't be tied to the crime. Early reports said she was in an advanced state of decomposition, unable to be identified, a later report claimed she was "recognizable". Another report said the body was partially charred.

>Her fingernails were painted red, her brown hair dyed red or auburn.

>In 1961, It was suspected she could be Debbie Dudley, a child lost in Virginia, but her body was found months later in the southern part of that state.

>The Yapavai County Sheriff initiated a long and arduous search for information about the girl. Filming the location, interviewing neighbors, suspects in other crimes involving children were interrogated about the girl. Dozens of telegrams, letters and request asking for information on the girls were received and answered by him.

>When all this failed, he sought help with the F.B.I.

>The F.B.I failed to identified her. They even failed to find the cause of the dead.

>She was buried in a pauper's grave. Over 70 people assisted.

>A placard on her casket bore the inscription, "God's little child, date of birth unknown, date of death unknown".

Phantom Armies:

Since ancient, there have been claims and sights of entire armies in the sky, aiding armies against their mundane foes. From the Vikings, who saw in the clamor and smoke of the battle hosts of soldiers, to the Breton peasants who would fight with the assistance of King Arthur from above.

Saint Augustin, in his magnum opus The City of God, wrote that during the days of the Civil War, Roman soldiers told there was a battle in the plain fields of Campania, between mysterious beings, called by them larvae, ghosts. After the battle, footprints of sandals and carriages were left in the soil, according to the witnesses. Days later, flesh and blood soldiers fought each other in that exact same field.

According to Burmann's Thesaurus of the History of Italy, the city of Otranto was saved of Suleiman the Magnificent and his tremendous armies by the apparition of 800 martyrs at the top of the walls and battlements of the city. According to the previous records of the Bishop of Otranto, 800 people were killed by Mehmed II when tried to conquer the city, in 1480, decades before Suleiman. Their corpses were not buried, and their flesh didn't decay, remaining as if they were still alive.

Fairies also were seen forming spectral armies, W. G. Wood, in Traces of the Elder Faiths in Ireland, narrates an instance of a fairy army in 1797, marching according to witnesses across the bog between Maryborough and Stradbally. It was midday.

In the hills Ballyfriar, in 1836, a phantom battle among fairies was seen by the people of the area, it even left marks on the ground and trees around the hill. Two fairy armies were also reported fighting in a Killkenny ditch, afterwards, people found the bushes torn, trees crushed and blood on the grass.

In the year 1642, a pamphlet appeared in London with the following title:

"A Signe from Heaven, or a Fearful and Terrible Noise heard in the Ayre at Aldborow [Aldeburgh] in the County of Suffolke, on Thursday, the 4th day of August, at 5 of the clocke in the afternoone – wherein was heard the beating of Drums, the discharging of Muskets and great Ordnance for the space of an houre or more."

The pamphlet also gave the name of a two dozen respected citizens who were witnesses of the event, and even testified under oath before the Parliament. A stone of great weight was also showed to the Lords, which fell from the sky during the battle.

During the witch hunts of the 16th Century, it was common to see hosts of witches across the sky, scaring villagers city folks alike.

In the Summer of 1686, people in the Highlands were afraid of an Army of the Air, which was causing an uproar on the towns it visited, extending over Scotland like a dire cloud, one accounts tells of:

“showers of bonnets, hats, guns and swords,

which covered the trees and the ground; companies of men in arms marching in order upon the water-side…”

Anons will remember the famous Angels of Mons, but that will require its own entry.

The Bommeleeer Affar:

In May 30th of 1984, several pylons belonging to the Luxembourgian electrical company Cegedel were blown up, the police determined the explosives used were those used in querries, coincidentally several quarries across Luxembourg reported their explosives and detonators stolen. Days later, Cegedel received a note demanding a sum of money in exchange of stopping with the bombings. At first, the company refused, but after consulting with the police, they accepted, another note was sent, the bombers knew it was a trick, the money would be traced by the law so they declined picking up the money.

In the next weeks, the bombers diversified their targets, bombing the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the Palace of Justice, public monuments. The most daring attack was perpetrated on the meeting of the European Council, at Kirchberg. A small pipe bomb was thrwon from a moving car. The bomb exploded,causing minor damages. During the frenetic car chase, a soldier was killed when his car turned upside down. The last attack could have been the worse, a complex bombing device was discovered thanks to an anonymous informant, in some woods near the Luxembourg Airport, the mechanism if triggered could have caused several deaths.

In total there were 20 bombings from May 30th 1984 to 25th March 1986. The bombers were never captured, their true motives remained unknown. The people of the Duchy began to make wild speculations, accusing the NATO of Gladio type operations, some even accused Prince Jean, then heir to the throne of the Great Duke, of being involved, even being the bomber itself. The fires of conspiracy where fanned even more when briefly after the attacks ended, he renounced to his rights to the throne. Other suspects are the elite members of the Luxembourgian police forces.

The Atlas Vampire:

Stockholm, Sweden, 1932.

A prostitute called Lilly Lindestrom was found dead in the Atlas neighborhood near Sankt Eriksplan.

They went after Minnie Jansson, another prostitute friend of her, noticed she did not answer the door. She had seen Lilly the other day, she came twice to her apartment, asking her for condoms, it was 9 p.m. when Lilly got back to her room. It would time be the last she was seen alive.

The police found her completely naked, with a condom sticking out of her anus, pointing to recent sexual activity. Forensics reported several blows to the head as the cause of death. They also found her body was almost totally drained from blood. Further inspection brought a gravy ladle stained with blood. The officers supposed the killer drank Lilly's blood with it.

The police searched through the neighborhood, and interrogated Lilly's most recent clients, around eight men, but all of them offered strong alibis.

They case since then has remained unsolved. Lilly's killer appeared and vanished as quickly as a shadow.

gotta love these threads. thanks anons and OP these are great

lol fucked in the ass and then vampire sucked. I'm fucking dying.

Highgate Cemetery/Vampire

During the early 1960s the cemetery was targeted by an extremely secretive group of graverobbers, distastefully known as The Gravediggers Union. By the end of the decade an organised gang of lead thieves were stripping the valuable linings of coffins and leaving the dessicated skeletons which had occupied them discarded on the catacombs’ floors. Vandalism was rife, and by the 1970s wannabe vampire hunters, inspired by irresponsible advice proffered in local newspapers and on national television, advanced to actually staking and in some cases burning corpses. Amid all this chaos, a group of ceremonial magicians had somehow found enough solitude to practice various necromantic rituals in some of unsecured vaults in the heart of the cemetery. Highgate Cemetery sits on an alleged ley line, on top of an underground watercourse, and presumably has an ample supply of what in occult terms would be referred to as death energy would seem to make it perfect for such rites. In the days when gaining nocturnal access to the cemetery was relatively easy, parts of it were also used by white witches, but it is the darker necromantic rituals which some have suggested either caused or triggered off the appearances of Highgate’s best known ‘ghost’ – the tall figure, swathed in black, which has been seen in and around the cemetery. It is this incorporeal entity which became hijacked by publicity seekers and branded a ‘vampire’. Obviously it isn’t one – it can apparently walk through walls for example – but it does share a few characteristics. For one, the typical modus operandi of this entity seems to be to ‘freeze’ people with an arresting stare, as the air around them turns icy cold. After encountering the figure people often report experiencing confusion, exhaustion and a sense of lost time.

oh shit yeah, I forgot about this story. That cemetery is creepy as hell, even more so when you think about a possible vampire there. There was a photo that the rev. sean manchester supposedly took of the vampire he supposedly killed. Although I do wonder if it just a photo of himself with the eyes smudged out, and with an evil smile. This is not the best photo I've ever seen of it, but it is the only one that I can find right now. Highgate cemetery has quite the storied past. Before the twentieth century, there was a problem with the cemetery being overcrowded, and they dug people up if they had been over so many years, and crushed their bones deeper into the ground so that they could bury more people on top of them. This could be partly the reason there is so much death energy there, with all of the desecration that has gone on over the years. Just speculating there…

The First UFO?

1870 - Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. This photo is dubbed, "the oldest UFO photograph ever taken." This item was the subject of bidding at Ebay in 2002, when finally the photo was purchased for $385.00 by Samuel M. Sherman, who was the president of Independent-International Pictures Corp.

This was originally a "stereo" photograph. Certainly it was difficult to manipulate photos at that time, and remember, there were no flying objects then; at least, not from this world.

A Ghastly Surprise at the Park:

The Japanese are masters of the grotesque, their artists have since centuries recreated the most truculent and morbid images, from demons with long, long necks, wives having sex with octopuses, ukiyo-e prints of famous murders, etc, etc. It is no surprise their criminals would put the same effort and give their misdeeds an extra flavor.

There is even whole subclass for a certain specific type of murder, the one in which the victim is cut to pieces, and said pieces are distributed with or without an order, it is called "barabara satsujin", or "scattered murder". There have been so many instances of this type of killing that it deserved its own class for its better understanding by the Japanese criminological students and agents of the law.

One of these incidents occurred in the 23rd of April of 1994. It was a nice, calm morning, the cleaning staff was working hard in order to leave the park presentable for the first visitors, when one of the members found in a trashcan a plastic bag, which emanated a foul odor, the woman thought it would be raw fish, when she opened it she shrieked in terror, inside were human parts.

After examining the bag and parts, and despite not finding the head (which along the chest and genitals would remain lost for ever), they determined they belonged to a top class architect, named Seiichi Kawamura,.

There were twenty four body parts, all have been cut with surgical precision, with an electrical saw, each piece was of 24 centimeters in length (7.8 inches for you, Burgers). They were carefully washed, and the blood was completely drained. It was impossible to establish if Kawamura was alive or already dead when he was dismembered. Some examiners found traces of internal bleeding in the muscles, hinting that he may have been alive when the saw touch his flesh.

Of the attackers, nobody noted anything suspicious, although some people claimed they saw a person who resembled Kawamura entering the park with two others unidentified partners. But the kind of fine job applied to the architect would have been impossible to do in a place like the park, in such a small window of time, at everybody's sight. Kawamura was last seen by a friend the night of the 22nd of, July, together they went to a karaoke bar, they parted ways at 11 p.m. His family reported him missing the next day.

Despite interrogating 37.000 people, the police couldn't get even a single description or strong clue.

Some rumors said he was hit by a car, and the driver dismembered his body to avoid arrest. Others, that Kuwamura was member of a strange cult and was killed because he wanted to leave it.

The case turned cold, and several months later, the unit working on it was assigned to work on the sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo Subway, perpetrated by Aum Shinrikyo.

By the way, those guys, the Aum Shinrikyo, had a lot of big brains among its ranks, many top class scientists, physicians, and other professionals. What a coincidence, isn't it?

Phantom Music:

Since the beginning, people have claimed to hear voices and music coming from nowhere, from no specific source, or hear the trees talk and the animals murmur between themselves. The consensus among society is that these people are crazy. Nevertheless, there have been cases of sane people being haunted by phantasmagoric sounds and voices, those anomalies have even inspired whole virtuoso compositions!

In his Alchemical Studies, C.G. Jung narrates the story of an African soldier who heard a tree talking to him, to the point two engaged in a conversation. Modern psychologists would pose the soldier was having a monologue with himself, the voice of his subconscious projected on the tree. Jung ventures another explanation, a daemon, an spirit floating along the borders of the spiritual and material planes.

Among the people who have heard voices that influenced their lives, we find St. Ignatius Loyola, Martin Luther, Sigmund Freud, R. L. Stevenson; Socrates used to talk with a personal daemon about the gods. George Fox, founder of the Quakers, received inspiration to reform the Christian religion from voices he heard during his everyday activities.

The "ubiquitous voice" phenomena has a modern spin, since many contactees and Ufologists consider this voices coming from beings outside our world, even outside our own universe.

The Boring Life, Strange Death and Unexpected Apotheosis of Robert Pakington, Mercer.

After years as a humble apprentice in the Mercer's Company, by 1510, Pakington was one of London's most prosperous mercers, importing and exporting the finest cloths and wares, gaining a distinguish clientele, among whom were the trendsetter nobles of the era, like Lady Palmington, the Marquis of Sutterton, and the Duke of Berry. From 1520 to 1529 he was elected, among others, as a representative to the Parliament on behalf of the mercers' guild, presenting articles to the Government. One of these articles caused a bit of a turmoil because of its anti-clerical nature, but the polemic was short lived.

In 1533 he was elected to the Parliament, and re-elected in 1536. There, he won some fame for his anti-clerical sentiments, "speaking somewhat against the covetousness and cruelty of the clergy", according to fellow parliamentary Edward Hall.

During his final years, he was somewhat of a Thomas Cromwell agent, especially on Flanders matters, of which he had first hand knowledge thanks to his commercial ties to that country. He didn't report directly to the Cromwell, using fellow businessman Stephan Vaughan, whose sympathy for the the Protestant cause was notable.

The bitter end came on the morning of the 13th of November of 1536, when Pakington was going from his home in Cheapside to the Mercer's Chapel, just on the opposite side. It was a short walk, but Pakington was too slow. Someone appeared and shot him with a handgun:

"And one morning amongst all other, being a great misty morning such as hath seldom been seen, even as he was crossing the street from his house to the church, he was suddenly murdered with a gun, which of the neighbours was plainly heard and by a great number of labourers there standing at Soper's Lane end…but the deed doer was never espied nor known."

Pakington has the dubious honor and record of being the first person murdered in London with a gun. The murder shocked the city, and the authorities did everything they could to find the culprits, even after posting a succulent reward in gold, not a single clue or snitch came out.

In his will, he left a substantial sum to some Lutheran preachers, around 300 pounds, a small fortune in that age.

After his death, with the religious storm broken on England, the Protestant considered him a martyr. Reformer John Bale accused three Catholic bishops of the conspiracy to murder Pakington. John Foxe, renegade Catholic bishop, supported the theory and gave names, though many doubted his claims. A series of theories appeared among the public, blaming the murders on almost every already deceased bishop, a string of convenient confessions of already hung criminals appeared, all of them admitting being them the ones who pulled the trigger and killed Pakington.

"The question is now who did not slay Pakington", wrote the chronicler Raphael Hollinshed.

Just One More Kiss

December of 1881, Massachusetts, after having quite of a scrap with his wife, Frank Sharon, the young barber of the peaceful town of River Falls, spent some hours in jail, the officers arrested him for "disturbing the general peace".

Later that night, he was finally released, good ol' Frank, being the rueful husband he was, went directly to his home, where his wife was soundly asleep. He walked slowly and carefully, he didn't want to wake up his love-bird, the mother of his three children,

Frank leaned over her, the Moon light making her face shine with a silvery glimmer, "She is beautiful", thought Frank. He did not deserve such goddess.

Frank kissed her, a delicate peck on the cheek, the same way one kisses a crucifix after Via Crucis. Drew his Thurber pepperbox revolver and shot her on the left side of her neck. She died instantly. "She went with the peace of an angel", told Frank later.

The barber immediately gave himself to the police, confessing everything. The coppers were kinda disappointed, they were expecting him to put more of a fight, forcing them with the task of "extracting" the information with the "usual methods", one of these involved breaking the suspects fingers.

Physicians examined Sharon and found him insane, therefore the judge him unfit to stand trial and ordered him to be taken to the State Asylum.

"Those of a bloodthirsty condition, who wanted to see the cheerful spectacle of this devil barber swinging from the end of a rope, ought not to be disappointed. The state of the mental hospices of the commonwealth of Massachusetts are so dreadful, that being condemned to live in one can be consider, without a doubt, worse than dangling in the air".

-Josiah Warren, The Springfield Republican.

I'll add a story cuz i want more data:

1932 New Jersey

The crime of the century

Charles Lindhberg was a commercial pilot and ex army captain

He suggested we use planes to look for alien structures and bases, as the USA was still mostly jungle, <only to debunk the alien theory>

One night in 1932 his child was abducted from his bedroom, nobody heard a thing

The body was later found in the woods

I dont remember if it was mutilated or raped..

1934-1935

the case of the missing boy was not solved to neither Lindhbergs and the detectives satisfaction

someone suggested we do Lindhbergs idea and look for alien structures and bases

So they asked USA to look for alien structures and bases with planes

USA refused…so someone asked germany to do it

Germany agrees and sends their $10 million blimp

(todays $ thats about 60-75million)

So germany nazis running around new jersey forrests in 1936, and $75,000,000 worth of equipment and no communism worries?

somethings off.

1936

The hindenberg (lindhberg) blimp explodes after

Killing 35 people

Both of these events are limited to a few years of 1932-1936, and local to the New Jersey forest.

>home of the jersey devil

Kind of spoopy. TBH this case is mostly forgotten and we could do a lot more proofing/map the area/find local caves/sightings and what not.

<The Taman Shud Case

>During the early morning of December 1, 1948, the body of a man was discovered on Somerton Beach in Australia.

>Little did the the authorities on the scene realize that they were about to witness the birth of a very strange mystery.

>The man discovered that day was in peak physical condition and as dressed very well, but all of the labels on his clothing had been removed.

>In his pocket was a train ticket for a ride he obviously missed on account of his being dead and all.

>Although investigators believed that the man must have been poisoned, no traces of any foreign agent was discovered during an autopsy.

>Some still maintain that the Somerton Man died of some type of undetectable poisoning because there was no other explanation for his death.

>A month later police discovered a brown suitcase at Adelaide Railway station that might have belonged to the mysterious Somerton Man.

>The brown suitcase had its label removed just like the unidentified man’s clothing and inside were clothes that had also had the labels removed.

>Inside the bag was a stenciling brush, electrician’s screwdriver, and a pair of scissors normally used for stenciling.

>Unfortunately, the suitcase proved to be another dead end.

>With all leads non-existent, the months passed by until June of 1949 when investigators had the body reexamined and discovered a secret pocket in the man’s clothing that contained a scrap of paper with the words “Taman Shud” printed on it.

>Upon a closer inspection of the paper it was discovered that the scrap came from a collection of poems entitled The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

>This discovery led to a media blitz in an attempt to find the book the page was torn from.

>The campaign was successful as a man stepped forward with a rare first edition copy of Edward Fitzgerald’s translation of The Rubaiyat, which he said he found in the back seat of his car the night before the unidentified man’s body was found.

>In the back of the book scrawled out faintly in pencil was a strange code.

>Also written in the book was the phone number of a former nurse who, while serving in World War II, gave a copy of The Rubaiyat to an army officer named Alfred Boxall.

>Boxall's copy of The Rubaiyat was still intact, though, and both parties denied any connection to the unidentified dead man.

>Even now, after over 60 years, the mystery of the Somerton Man remains unsolved.

>No one knows who he was, what the phrase "Taman Shud" was supposed to mean, or what the mysterious code is supposed to represent. There has been speculation over the years that the man was a spy, but none of it has remotely been proven.
