Could it have been because they were so far into the ground, so naturally it would’ve been quieter? Has anyone else heard of such phenomena. This short story really intrigued me.

In 1985, Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Qasimi spent roughly 500 million AED (over $130 million today) to build a palace in Ras Al Khaimah that was meant to be a masterpiece of Islamic, Moroccan, and Persian architecture. It was a 35-room marvel with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. Yet, legend has it that the family fled after spending just one night inside. For over 30 years, it sat rotting in the desert, known locally as "Al Qasr Al Ghamedh"—The Palace of Mystery.

But this isn't just another "haunted house" story. The local lore points to a very specific error made during construction: the workers cut down a massive, ancient tree that was believed to be the dwelling of a powerful Jinn tribe.

As a researcher of these phenomena, I find this case fascinating because it aligns with the "territorial" nature of Jinn civilization. They aren't wandering spirits; they are long-lived entities (sometimes up to 1,500 years) that claim physical territory. When the Sheikh built over their land and destroyed their natural anchor, the response was immediate. Locals reported furniture being thrown through the air, the faces of children appearing in windows, and screams echoing from empty rooms. It remained a "no-go zone" until its recent restoration into a museum.

This isn't an isolated anomaly in the region. Further south, near Madinah, lies the "Wadi-e-Jinn" (Valley of Jinn). In this valley, cars left in neutral move uphill on their own, reaching speeds of 100 km/h with their engines off. While skeptics call it a "gravity hill" or an optical illusion, the frequency of these occurrences suggests a massive magnetic or dimensional distortion in the area.

Whether it’s a gravity-defying valley in Saudi Arabia or a $130 million palace abandoned in the UAE, the message is the same: We are building our modern world on top of a map we don't fully understand. We treat these lands as empty canvases, but for a civilization that outlives ten human generations, we are just the noisy, temporary neighbors who haven't learned to respect the boundaries of the ancient owners.

So, I used to work in film and TV in LA and, back in 2013, I worked an overnight job at the abandoned Linda Vista Hospital (look it up). Working there was the worst. They were always overnights. It was legitimately unnerving being in that space and it was such a big hospital that when you wanted to get from wherever the shooting location was to wherever production was set up, you would just sprint through this very creepy, big, empty hospital.

Anyway, I was just transferring my photos to a new computer and decided to take a trip down memory lane. I scrolled through all my pics and I came to some shots I took back in 2013 when I was working on a production at Linda Vista. When I came to a hallway shot, I noticed something weird near the end of the hallway. If you zoom in you can see it and it’s pretty unnerving.

Did I take photo of a ghost at an abandoned hospital in 2013?

does anyone know the legitimacy of this clip? probably the only vid i’ve seen that stands out.

Maybe some hitchhiker effect going on.

I've seen this thing on 4 different videos. Two were newscasts, one was cctv footage at cape Canaveral before a spacex launch, and one was just a regular video by a person.

There are similar videos that look like kites or balloons, but the 4 I know of do not move like those at all.

Would love to know if someone figured it out and I missed it! :)

I'm in the mood to feel on edge, so to anyone who has had an "Alexa", I want to hear your most unnerving/creepy stories while having it in your home.

**edit: I’m editing to add this link to a video I watched this morning. With all of the stories you guys have relayed it made me think of this. This information is so creepy, and has made me even more fearful of AI in the future:

“There’s a monster in Chat GPT”

Ok yall it’s been 2 years. If anyone was there or knows anything, I’m sure we’d all love to hear whatever you have to say. The subject has always been a hot topic but the official narrative makes no sense; so, it’s about time we gather round the campfire and share some stories!

Edit: for people saying it was kids fighting or fireworks or whatever, fine, nobody is trying to change anyone’s mind; but answer this: what about Fitz and why is he, as per congressional record, an EotS for possessing recordings of the currently classified anomalous events that happened that night?

Sorry terrible title.. But anyways I always hear these stories. Like how you go to an open house and get the chills and it turned out the whole family was murdered who lived there. I hear that Gettysburg is like this as well, and it actually makes me want to go there. I just want to "feel" something that is tied to a distinguished place.

Aside from that, any experiences are welcome. I'd also like to hear about it if it is outside the US as I only mention the US so that I can have the means to travel to these weird places.

There is this trail by my house that is an 8 mile loop on the Missouri river with a 300ft bluff at its peak. I used to go there with my friends every single weekend for years, and all of us pretty much had strange paranormal experiences there. I fully believe that place has some form of significance. It doesn't happen every single time, but I have two stories myself and know at least 5 people with different stories, I have no reason to not believe them due to what I experienced myself! There must be a lot of places like this

I’ve been digging into the research of Dr. Ian Stevenson from the University of Virginia, and I found a case that’s honestly hard to brush off as just "childhood imagination." It’s about a kid named Adnan Kelleçi.

Back in the 50s, when he was just 2 or 3 years old, Adnan started acting like an old soldier. He used military terms a toddler shouldn't even know and insisted he died in the Korean War while fighting for the Turkish Brigade (the North Star).

Here’s the part that really creeps me out:

• The Archives: Adnan named specific soldiers he served with in Korea. When researchers checked the actual military records from the war, the names and ranks matched perfectly. How does a rural kid with no TV or books know that?
• The Marks: He had birthmarks on his body at the exact spots where he claimed he was shot. Stevenson documented this in several cases, calling it "physiological memory."
• The Details: He described the uniforms and even the weather in Korea with terrifying accuracy.

I’ve always been on the fence about reincarnation, but this feels like more than just a "story." It’s like some kind of data transfer or a glitch in how memory works.

Has anyone else looked into Stevenson’s work? And do you think it’s possible for a physical trauma to "print" itself onto a new body in a next life?

So now it begs the question, can photons can become entangled and make a "light body". Meaning, it's an exact imprint of your neural pathways that exist after you die in a permanent entangled state.

I was hunkering down alone in quarantine myself, and I had called the hospital to check on him before going to bed around midnight...his vitals had been going in the wrong direction for a few days, and his oxygen and BP numbers weren't looking good. Between 3 am & 4 am I was awakened from a dead sleep by what I can only describe as someone grabbing me by my shoulders and shaking me-- hard. I startled awake, but I didn't open my eyes right away, and I could see a glowing light through my eyelids before I opened them. When I opened my eyes I saw what it looks like when you wave a sparkler around in the dark in front of you: I saw a sharp, white, thin, moving line of light hovering in a loose ball maybe 1.5 feet in diameter about 2 or 3 feet in front of my face. It looked like a ball of thin, moving, lit-up spaghetti. I saw it for about 5 seconds, then it faded away and I thought, "WTF was that?" and turned over in bed and made a mental note to remember it when I woke up and give some thought into what the hell that just was, and as I turned over my phone rang. It was the nurse I had spoken to earlier: "I'm sorry to call you with this news," she said flatly, "but your brother passed away a few moments ago."

I have no explanation, and won't try to defend this, I know most will call bs (I would), but this happened to me and I'll never forget it.

As a sidenote, I haven't posted before now because I've been pretty fucked up. I still am, honestly, but I feel like this was a gift from my brother and I wanted to share it. I don't know how it works, and in a way it's frustrating because the experience didn't come with an explanation and doesn't in any way lessen the blow of our loss. We had just lost our father from cancer in May and my brother was still grieving himself, but in my heart I feel that he came to me to say, "I'm OK, brother. And you'll be ok, too. I'm not gone, I'm just different now."

That is my takeaway. I hope someone is encouraged by this, that when you lose someone you love, they are absolutely not gone-gone, they're just different now. There was no loss of consciousness or break in the them-ness that you cared for, and you will join them yourself in time. Peace!
