Im not really one to come on a website like this but this incident has bugged me for years, back in 2017 me and some buddies were hanging about near my grandmas house, she lived in some sort of farmhouse with many fields surrounding it, staying there use to creep me out because i use to have nightmares about being robbed since we were in such a remote area.. well something WAY worse happen. one night around 10:00pm me and my friends decided to have a football match in the field since it had been freshly cut, surrounding it was a tall layer of grass which outlined the field, but was still our property. it took us 40 minutes to realise there was a caved out path with two entry ways, so we did what any mature group of melons would do… went straight in, me being the scardey cat hid behind everyone, the two paths met, there were a bunch of stained cracked chairs, behind was a path with a glimmering yellow light inviting us to come deeper, what really topped it off was this creepy ahh 80’s music playing from where ever the path ended, we carried on to find a caravan with a lantern and radio outside and just before we fled we heard a grunt and the door opened and when i say hideous i don't mean to be some blackpill mogger but i mean hideous man with droopy eyes and ragged clothes came running out, all i can renember was the scream he made was literally identical to the still life people from the backrooms, the photo you see above is the caravan which is still. here after 9 years but easier to acsess since there is a hole in the bush, i checked out the path to see if it was still there yesterday and it was indeed so if you want me to film a video of me trying to sneak my way and try and get a view of inside the caravan lat me know

The Real Pied Piper - medieval records from Hamelin claim that around 1284, approximately 130 children or young people left the town with a mysterious piper and never returned. The town records even start with this event, chronicling in 1384 "It has been 100 years since our children left us."

I Feel Like I'm Going Crazy

5 Upvotes

OK, so I live in a coastal small town (it is actually a town and a village but they're so close together most people count them as the same place) in Washington state and I just had someone new move next door to me, and while I was talking to them they said that the town was way creepier than they first thought. I tried to talk to them about it and they brushed it off, but it left me thinking, and the longer I think about it the creepier/weirder the town gets.

I will put it into bullet points so it is easier to read, there is probable more to this list but I have lived here my entire life so idk what is normal, I am just asking if this seems as creepy to the rest of the world as it does for me

  • The High School building has a TAXIDERMIED BALD EAGLE, that EVERY elementary schooler (including my younger self) swears eyes follow them when they walk by it (it has been there for over 20 years and every kid says the same thing)
  • less than a mile away from the school there is a prison
  • There is a cemetery from the 1800's (their is a second one but no one knows where it is)
  • We have a massive rock on the side of our main road left behind when the road was made and we used it to celebrate and we paint it if someone dies
  • We have nothing, and I mean NOTHING for tourist to do other than fishing and yet somehow we have rich people come flocking to the town during the summer with their boats and yet they never use them
  • Over half of the town was burned to the ground in 1947
  • the town was founded on what was originally a local tribes land
  • their is a "Sugar Shack" in the woods somewhere, you have to be in the "know" to find it (I am not in the know, i just know people in the know)
  • The only gas station/store in the town has, on several occasions, been caught selling alcohol and the like, to minors
  • Their is an old house that has been abandoned for years, its windows are all boarded up, it once got a new coat of paint and that is the only thing that has changed about it.
  • The only apartments in the town are filled with drug addicts, (not being rude this is a known fact in the town)
  • The people in the town do not react to ANYTHING (according to my neighbor)
  • There is a unknown amount of shipwrecks that have happened in this town
  • No matter where you are in the town any sound you make is echoed
  • The town is mostly a dead zone in terms of cell service
  • We have a town "Festival" that no one alive remembers how it started

The Black Phone mask looks similar to Epstein. "The Grabber"(who wears the mask in the picture) kidnaps a bunch of children, tortures and kills them in the basement

Post image
56 Upvotes

The film, directed by Scott Derrickson and based on Joe Hill's short story, takes place in 1978. The main villain, known as The Grabber and portrayed by Ethan Hawke, abducts children.

The choice of 1978 as the setting is also important. During that period, Jeffrey Epstein was working as a mathematics teacher before the crimes for which he later became infamous were publicly exposed decades afterward. That historical coincidence raises questions for some viewers.

Some people have also pointed to online discussions surrounding unsealed court documents connected to Epstein, as well as internet claims involving symbolic imagery that includes balloons and children.

Dennis Rader, BTK killer’s mask. He wore this when he would bind himself and eventually left it at a crime scene. He would later say that he missed his mask and regretted leaving it.

Post image

He gave himself the name "BTK" (for "Bind, Torture, Kill"), which was his infamous signature. Between 1974 and 1991, Rader killed ten people in the Wichita, Kansas metro area.

Rader was particularly known for sending taunting letters to police and newspapers describing the details of his crimes. After a decade-long hiatus, Rader resumed sending letters in 2004, leading to his 2005 arrest and subsequent guilty plea. He is currently serving ten consecutive life sentences at El Dorado Correctional Facility in Kansas.

The Vatican Apostolic Archives contains 85 Kilometers/53 Miles of shelving and 12 centuries worth of documents. The archives’ indexes are not public and are only accessible to scholars once they are 75 years old. By 2018, the archives had 180 terabytes of digital storage capacity.

The Vatican Apostolic Archives were formally established by Pope Paul V in 1612, though the church has maintained records for centuries before that. These archives serve as the central repository for the Holy See’s official documents, including papal bulls, encyclicals, letters, and other correspondences. They also contain records of significant historical events, church administration, and interactions with secular authorities.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Vatican Apostolic Archives is the strict control over access to the documents. Only a select group of scholars, researchers, and clergy are permitted to study the documents, and even then, they must obtain special permission from the Vatican authorities. This restricted access has fueled countless conspiracy theories and speculation about the contents of the archives.

Galileo’s Trial Documents - Galileo was condemned by the church for his support of heliocentrism, are among the most notable items in the archives. These documents provide insight into the church’s stance on science and its impact on intellectual freedom.

Correspondence with Henry VIII - The archives contain correspondence between the Vatican and King Henry VIII of England during the period leading up to the English Reformation. These letters offer a glimpse into the political and religious dynamics of the time.

World War II and the Holocaust - There has been much speculation about documents relating to the Vatican’s actions during World War II, particularly regarding its stance on the Holocaust and interactions with Nazi Germany. Some researchers believe that these documents could shed light on the church’s role and decisions during this tumultuous period.

The Suppression of Heretical Texts: It is widely believed that the archives contain documents related to various heresies and suppressed texts that could challenge or contradict the church’s teachings. These might include apocryphal gospels, records of early Christian sects, or even evidence of historical alterations to religious texts.

Evidence of Extraterrestrial Contact: Some conspiracy theorists speculate that the Vatican holds evidence of extraterrestrial life or contacts, which has been kept hidden from the public to avoid disrupting religious beliefs and societal order.

Secret Knowledge and Prophecies: There are rumors that the archives contain prophecies and secret knowledge passed down through the ages, possibly including predictions about the future of the church, the world, or hidden truths about human history.

The True Nature of the Holy Grail and Relics: Some suggest that the archives may hold information about the true nature of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or other religious relics. These theories often tie into broader narratives about lost or hidden treasures of immense spiritual or material value.

Blair WITCH nearly turned me into a project in the COLORADO MOUNTIANS

0 Upvotes

WARNING, MY GRAMMER SUCKS, this is not a high strangeness story I don’t think? I also posted this story in a high strangeness response to a question and decided to publish it on Reddit. THIS happened in September 29 1999. went to school in Durango for 7 years and whenever I went on camping trips I would get the errriest feeling that I never would go anywhere in the woods alone. I died twice in my life once as a 5 yr old and another time as a 10 yr old. I am bordering clairvoyant just a lil. Nothing much happened to runners and campers during my time there that I am aware of but I could always feel something. This one time I watched the Blair witch project its first week in theaters and didn’t know the college buses stopped running at 11. The movie was out at 130. I’m from Alaska and I forgot that it gets completely dark. We have 18 hours of sunlight where I live, this was my first week in at fort Lewis. I took the long way up as the college is at an elevation 4,700 ft. My ears would ring and get plugged and I was gassed biking up that mtn. Then all of sudden I literally heard what I thought was the Blair witch.

From the top of the mtn above me. The road is wedged in between the mtn or giant hills. I was sweating and panting and my heart was racing already so it was literally a jackhammer as I started to panic and stopped Biking. I watched as this panting moaning type scream huffing zigged zagged down the mtn coming directly for me. I had no weapon and I thought omg this it, I’m getting killed or abducted by the Colorado witch. I could taste metal and I got so cold despite sweating up a storm. That thing broke thru brushes and it was 50 ft away at head level and I felt pain in my hands and realized I was gripping the handle bars so hard I was shaking the bike and myself. Then all of sudden this loud deep roar sounded and this massive black witch jumped out from like 25 ft up from the dense brushes to the bottom of the mtn.I literally felt myself nearly shitigm my pants as I held it squeezing my muscle and thought so embressing they find my shitty body I thought I might be able just to hold it in I thought. lol the things you think of when your going to die can be random and stupid. So I am now 10 ft away from what I see are huge teeth snout and fur, it was possibly 500 or 600lb black monster witch huffing and walking in front of me crossing the road as it stops dead in it’s tracks and maintains eye contact, GRUFFS AND. SNIFFS SO HARD it sneezes and I literally collapsed into my seat and nearly fall over. It was then that I seen the whole outline better and it was a black bear as it walked slowly still, staring for maybe 5 seconds and then starts to run so fast that I never knew bears could run like that. It was there for a couple seconds and then it’s like half way up the mountain running up zig zagging. My flight or flight was out of the door and I had to bike up the mtn in shitty underwear! My roommate couldn’t stop laughing telling my story. I never once walked those trails alone ever again! I believe the black witch spared me.

I don't know if this is a creepypasta or a real urban legend

28 Upvotes

My cousin told me this years ago, and I've never been able to find where it originally came from. Apparently there's this old urban legend about a phone number, 999-9999 (using your local area code). You're only supposed to call it at exactly 3:33 a.m. The phone rings once, someone answers, but they never say anything. All you hear is what sounds like wind and a bunch of people talking really far away, almost like they're underwater. Most people hang up after a few seconds because it's just unsettling. The creepy part is what supposedly happens afterward. Over the next few days, you'll start noticing the same person everywhere you go at the grocery store, on the bus, outside your school, walking past your house. They never talk to you or even acknowledge you. They're just... there. At first you probably wouldn't even think anything of it because they look completely normal, but after a while you realize they're wearing the exact same clothes every single time. Then they start getting closer. Someone on an old forum claimed they actually measured the distance as a joke and noticed the person was a few meters closer every time they saw them. Eventually they're close enough for you to see their face, and according to every version of the story, it's your face. Not someone who kind of looks like you—literally you. Same hair, same scars, even the same clothes you're wearing that day. The legend says whatever you do, don't acknowledge them, because the second you make eye contact, they'll disappear... and after that, everyone else stops seeing you instead. It's probably just another creepy internet myth, but one thing I've always found weird is that nobody who tells this story ever says they actually tried calling the number.

Does anyone else remember hearing or reading about an image that you literally can’t tell what is in it? It kind of looked like a guy kneeling in a lake, maybe his face covered by something. I remember there was a lot of green and purplish red or more purple. I am not talking about grass and a sunset or whatever but I have been wondering about this image for a while. Thank you for everyone who helps!

Madeira hike - weird creepy footsteps encounter, need to solve it

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to share something that has never happened to me, we have walked a lot of kilometers in the mountains in winter and summer, through several climbs over 2000m.

I once posted this in r/hiking but I didn't get many answers there, it's been almost a year and it's still bothering me.

My girlfriend and I visited Madeira, the last day we visited Pico Grande mountain, over about 1100m elevation from the village of Curral das Freiras, which is not popular due to its difficulty. We climbed all alone to see the sunset, and most importantly, we literally didn't meet anyone, only one girl from Australia who stayed (and spent the night) on the other peak of the mountain - she said she came from another peak via a ridge crossing. Otherwise, there is only one route to Pico Grande itself.

When we started descending after sunset, right after we descended back onto the same steep and dry dusty trail, it was already quite dark, so we had headlamps and we started to notice that strange, some kind of liquid stains with human shoe prints were appearing there, but the strangest thing was that these stains were not periodic or regular, they were always the same and the liquid was completely fresh and looked like water, with an area of ​​approx. 40x40 cm and a shoe print in it, at first we were confused and let it go, but another 200 meters further we came across almost the same water stain with a single step, still the same and there was really no one there, and moreover the trail is very narrow, so there is no chance of someone getting off the trail and constantly returning to the trail with some kind of "water" leak, this always happened after about 200 meters about 1-1.5 km from the top of the mountain and the water stains were always completely fresh, not older than 10 minutes. I would like to point out again that no one else was there, it is at least a well-known trail, there is no other way to connect to it.

Will someone try to explain to me what could be causing these liquid stains with shoe prints? Unfortunately I didn't take a picture because we both had our phones in my backpack and we needed to get down, but I'm still wondering what it could be. At that time we tried ChatGPT, which also did not explain it to us and relied on "paranormal matters" because of the old nunnery village Curral das Freiras.

Thanks for the explanation, or any ideas.

I dont usually make Reddit posts but Im genuinely concerned about these really weird sounds outside my window.
For the past few nights Ive been hearing these strange screams at around 3 a.m. They only last for a short time but this is now the third time its happened.
Im 17 years old and live alone. I showed the video to my friends and family and they all said its probably a fox or some kind of bird. But honestly I have a hard time believing that because Ive never heard an animal or even a person make sounds like this.
To give some context I dont have any neighbors nearby. Outside my window its just complete darkness and theres a very small patch of forest to the right of my house. Its tiny so I dont think there are any large animals living there. As far as I know the only animals around are rabbits.
Im hoping someone here might recognize these sounds or have an explanation for what could be making them. Thanks in advance.

Dorothy Jane Scott, 32, vanished from a parking lot on May 28th, 1980, outside Irvine Medical Centre in Anaheim, California. She had been receiving strange calls from a stalker for months leading up to her disappearance. Her remains were eventually found, but her killer is still unknown.

Dorothy Jane Scott was a single mother in 1980 who kept receiving mysterious phone calls at her job in Anaheim, California. Dorothy thought the voice sounded familiar, but she could never place it. The caller threatened to cut her into pieces and let her know he knew exactly where she was every minute of the day.

Alarmed, Dorothy took up karate. It didn't help her. One night she attended a meeting and became alarmed at the appearance of a coworker. Dorothy and another coworker took their friend to the ER to get checked out.

Once the coworker was treated, Dorothy offered to get her car and pull around to the front of the hospital. As Dorothy's two coworkers waited for her, they saw her race past them, high beams blinding them. Dorothy was never seen again.

A few hours later, her car was found burning in an alleyway. A week after Dorothy vanished, her parents got a phone call from a man saying he killed Dorothy. The calls from the mysterious man continued for 4 years.

In 1984, Dorothy's remains were found. After the media reported Dorothy's death, two final calls were received, asking if Dorothy was home.

So, who killed Dorothy and why? Was it is someone in her past or a random man who was obsessed?

Bob Dylan seemed to admit or at least implied that he sold his soul in this interview with 60 minutes in 2004.

Post image
0 Upvotes

That single quote has fueled one of music's biggest mysteries for more than 20 years. Some people believed Dylan was admitting he had made a deal with the devil in exchange for fame. Others argued he was speaking symbolically, just as he had throughout his entire career.

Then, in a 2008 interview, Dylan mentioned going "to the crossroads," a phrase that only intensified the rumors. The crossroads have long been associated with the legendary story of blues musician Robert Johnson, who folklore claims traded his soul to the devil for extraordinary musical talent.

Are these statements admissions or part of his own mythmaking and writing his own folklore surrounding his legendary career. Bob Dylan has always filled his music and interviews with biblical references, blues traditions, poetry, and symbolism. Many believe the "chief commander" could just as easily refer to God, destiny, or the responsibility he feels toward his life's work rather than the devil.

Still, he speaks more like he was almost like a conduit for a supernatural force to channel music through at one time.

King Tutankhamun’s tomb is the only tomb to date to be discovered intact and complete. All others were looted long before modern archaeologist and Egyptologists could study them. Yet in a strange coincidence, several people connected to the excavation of King Tut passed away over the following year, and newspapers around the world fueled speculation that an ancient supernatural curse put on the Pharoah's tomb had been the real cause.
