Paranormal incidents in real life. The most reliable evidence of paranormal phenomena

Different concepts of time

When last year the freed Slava suddenly appeared in front of me at the entrance, I remembered my experiences. He extended his hand first, and I automatically reached for it. Embarrassed by the handshake, he rubbed his fingers, numb from his “pincers,” and filled the pause with a stupid question: “Are you just here, or are you on vacation for good behavior?”

The short, strong man slashed his gray, narrowed eyes with a blade: “What, twelve years is not enough? Did it go quickly?” Indeed, for me these years flew by like one day. For him, they must have dragged on painfully slowly. But neither I nor he spoke about this anymore.

In Slavka’s life, everything was gained little by little, as, indeed, for everyone in our company. His father drank heavily, but did not attack his son with fists; he moderately quarreled with his wife, an always sloppy woman, overwhelmed with work on the “iron”.

At school, Slava got straight C's, but as for the streets... Here we all behaved rather wildly: we smoked bulls, put huge nails under the wheels of the train so that we could then sharpen knives out of them, we fired at sparrows with slingshots.

But what’s surprising is that Slavka not only did not show cruelty to them, he always pitied them. Which means he was a kind person, essentially. At home he kept a cat, which he fattened so much that it was scary to look at.

Once I saw Slava’s darling and the lazy one nimbly crawling along the trunk of a birch tree towards a birdhouse, from which the voices of chicks were already heard. I attached the birdhouse and therefore decided to teach the cat a lesson. Warbler was not at home. We caught his Senka and flogged him with a rod.

But when the cat, distraught with fear, was released, a hooligan guy of about sixteen intercepted him and threw a rope noose around the neck of the heart-rendingly meowing poor fellow. The cat finally escaped. Dragging the rope behind him, he jumped onto the tree, but unexpectedly fell from the branch and hung on this noose...

We buried Senka behind the gardens and cried our eyes out together with Slavka. We thought for a long time about how to take revenge on the lanky man. They decided to throw stones at his windows at night.

Slavka threw fragments of bricks with particular frenzy. By the way, maybe after that he became very bitter? Probably not. Soon I got myself another cat... Our life was so fast-paced, stormy, eventful that no one focused on one, even a very sad incident.

From Slavka’s short letters from the army, I learned a lot of interesting things about his life. After training in Mulino, he ended up in Kizil-Arvat, where instead of moonshine, sergeants bought half a liter of water for a dime, and scorpions during the mating season threatened servicemen with instant death.

Then Slavka froze twice in Nerengi. But the Yakut frosts did not break his cheerful character. Everywhere he was a “social” person, a “joiner”, ready to give his last piece of bread for a friend. At heart, he still remained a hectic kid, a thrill-seeker.

Slavka not only did not show cruelty to his smaller brothers, he always pitied them, which means he was a kind person

Scary unexplained facts

Perhaps he was arrested the first time because of this desire for adventure. Having got a job as a driver of a GAZ car at a car depot, a month later he was caught stealing spare parts. They gave me two years of chemistry. He worked in Dzerzhinsk as a driver. He lived under supervision for a week, and was allowed to go home on weekends.

By that time he had gotten married, and besides his parents, his wife and infant were waiting for him at home. Sometimes Slavka didn’t come home for the weekend and warned his family in advance: don’t worry, they say, the police won’t let you go. And at that time he was resting with his mistress Lida. He met her there, in Dzerzhinsk.

Slavka apparently really liked this way of life: they wait everywhere, they greet you everywhere, and they don’t burden you with worries. Suddenly Lida admitted that she was expecting a child from him.

Neighbors later said that she flatly refused an abortion. Maybe from the heart of Vyacheslav. And she, a girl from the countryside, in a huge city with black and orange smoke, had no one except Vyacheslav.

Financially well-off, she expected from him, first of all, moral support. And then the most mysterious thing happened, something that seems impossible to decide on in your right mind.

Vyacheslav, who was allowed to go home after work on Friday, dropped in to see Lida. I had a hearty dinner, drinking a few glasses of vodka for my appetite. After the caressed and tired Lida fell fast asleep, he smothered her with a pillow. And, as if nothing had happened, he returned to his home. A week later the police came for him.

The body of the strangled woman was not immediately discovered. The neighbors noticed a suspicious odor coming from the room. The police were called and they broke down the door. Finding the killer wasn't much of a problem.

Nina Ivanovna, Vyacheslav’s mother, came out less and less often to chat with the neighbors at the entrance. And if I met someone, I immediately started talking about him. And she usually ended it like this: “Maybe for exemplary work they’ll knock off three or four years…”

The neighbors winked at each other, gloating over the eccentric “upstart”... Vyacheslav’s father never received his son from the zone. He turned yellow and lost his face. Returning from treatment, he said: “I drank away my liver, drank it clean...” Cirrhosis quickly overwhelmed him.

And Nina Ivanovna, left alone, increasingly began to leave somewhere early in the morning and returned late in the evening. No one knew where she disappeared for days, when suddenly one of the gossips explained: “Ninka is begging!”

It turns out that someone she knew saw her at the Middle Market in a patched robe. Nina Ivanovna deliberately chose a place away from the Sorting. She carried overalls in a bag. She changed her clothes behind the stalls and asked for alms from compassionate citizens near them.

Horrible incidents from life

When Slava returned from prison, he was 36. And he still looked young. Unless the wrinkles spoiled the “sign” a little. He cheerfully, as if nothing had happened, began a new life.

He moved his wife and 12-year-old son to his mother’s apartment. One can only guess what his “half” experienced when they learned about their spouse’s infidelity and such a heinous crime. And yet they connected. They became almost a close-knit family. Almost. Because the past involuntarily took revenge for itself. No one else saw even a hint of a smile on the faces of Slava and Lyuda.

Quote

And then the most mysterious and terrible thing happened, something that seems impossible to decide on in your right mind.

One evening Slavka came to me with a bottle. We sat and drank, but I saw that he was not at ease, something was gnawing at him.
- You, Slava, if you want to tell me something, don’t be shy, you know, I can. “I took him by the shoulder encouragingly.
And then he told me his other one.

You know, bro, I thought this murder thing was forever in the past. What came over me then, I don’t know. All the years of imprisonment I thought about it, but never figured it out. I was definitely not myself then. And only recently I began to understand.

You see, in those days I was very loving. Yes, you know it yourself. I couldn't let a pretty girl pass by. Although I knew that I was doing the wrong thing, it was as if a demon was pushing me from within. I then met another girl - Larisa. I rarely met her, you know, my wife, Lidka.

In short, after three months I told Larisa that I could no longer maintain a relationship with her. She didn’t ask, didn’t cry, just rolled her eyes angrily and said: “Do you really just want to get rid of me that easy? No, it won’t work!”
- What will you do to me?
- I'll ruin your life! - she stood up, slammed the door and left.

After some time, I began to observe strange things about myself. Believe me, I periodically began to fall out of real life. One day I woke up, standing near my truck in a field, in the distance there was some village. How did I get here, why did I come. It’s seven o’clock in the evening, and the last thing I remember was washing the windows in the garage in the morning. I approached the village, it turned out that I was a hundred kilometers from the city.

It happened again: I went to work and woke up in the evening in a pub. It turns out I wasn’t at work, I don’t know where I spent my time. The next day I had to go to a doctor I knew so that he could give me a certificate, otherwise the absence would have been counted as absenteeism. Similar stories happened to me several times.

Strange unexplained cases

When this mess with Lida happened, I also fell out of reality. I remember how I came to her. And then... I’m already sitting at home in front of the TV. I began to remember what was there? Nothing... a black abyss... And only then I was arrested. But then I had no idea why.

By the way, during the investigation I told the investigator about these cases. They even took me for a psychiatric examination, but they found me sane. Yes, I myself knew that I was sane, but I could not explain these lapses in memory.

But, most importantly, I then completely forgot about this Larisa, whom I so vilely abandoned, I forgot literally the next day, when we broke up. As if she never existed. I forgot not only her, but in general everything that was connected with her. But that doesn’t happen. Although we didn’t know each other for long, I had to remember from time to time. No, not once in all the years of imprisonment. Although I’ve watched it all my life, second by second, hundreds of times.

And then the day before yesterday I was on the bus, and I saw a woman standing at the bus stop. And I was shot. After all, I know her. Something is connected with her in life, something extremely important and disturbing. I haven’t been able to find peace all day, I can’t see it in any way. And only at night I remembered, I woke up covered in sweat. This is Larisa! The one I abandoned and who promised to ruin my life!

Deal with an unknown entity

And then I realized one more thing - it’s not me who is to blame for the murder, but she! How she did it, I don’t know. Maybe she herself has some kind of power, maybe she asked someone to damage or cast a spell, or maybe she entered into a contract with an alien force, an entity unknown to us. But it's definitely her!
- What are you going to do? – I was shocked by his story.
- You know, he nervously lit a cigarette, it seems to me that she also saw and recognized me. Now we have to leave, the whole family. Otherwise, something terrible may happen again.

We sat a little longer, finished the vodka, and he got ready to go home.

A month later, Slavka came again.
- I came to say goodbye. Found a job in Khabarovsk. I'm leaving tomorrow. For now, my wife will be here to exchange the apartment and then come to me with her family.
I nodded understandingly:
-Are you afraid?
- Afraid. Not for myself, you know, I’m afraid for my family.
I nodded again. Slavka was never anything but a coward.

Time has passed. The Firsov family has been living in Khabarovsk for five years now. Everything is fine with them. Slavka became the boss at his car depot. True, small, even on the scale of a car depot.

We sometimes call each other, but every year less and less. Everyone has their own life.

There are many people in the world who like to watch films about paranormal phenomena, poltergeists and other supernatural things. Even scientists cannot solve them, they make the blood run cold, but still pictures about these psychophysical phenomena continue to fill the cinemas. This was the case with the first part of the film “Paranormal Activity,” filmed by Americans in 2007 and shown to the public in 2009.

After watching, viewers dubbed the horror film the scariest picture. However, what is the mystery of this film? Why does he scare viewers so much? Is it really based on real events or is the plot of the film just a figment of the imagination (and a very violent one) of director Oren Peli? Perhaps we can address some of these issues.

The storyline is based on the life of a seemingly ordinary married couple. Katie and Mika moved to live in a house in the vicinity of San Diego and then strange things began to happen to them, which can be called paranormal. For several weeks in a row, the couple hear strange sounds in the house and feel someone's presence.

It turns out that a certain entity has been following the main character since the age of eight. But as soon as the couple installs a camera in their bedroom to film it, terrible things begin to happen in the house: objects turning over, doors opening, inhuman sounds and bites. When the couple invites a psychic, he says that a demon lives next to the heroes. However, Mika does not want to call a specialist, but tries to get in touch with the evil spirits.

An angry demon pursuing Katie scares the couple, and ultimately, having possessed the woman, kills Mika. The film has several endings, one of which is the official one, and the other two are alternative versions. In the first ending, Mika flies into the room with bloody clothes on her as Katie walks up to the camera and smiles horribly. This is where the film ends. The credits then say that in the morning the police, called by the neighbors, find Mika's body, and Katie remembers nothing about the events of the previous night.

Opinion of film critics and ordinary viewers

Film critics liked the strange picture, shot with one camera. Most of them gave her a positive assessment. Overall, Paranormal Activity received 88% "good" reviews. On the technical side, the film is shot very realistically, there are sound and special effects, there is a feeling of documentary, a gradual and leisurely development of events.

Viewer reviews were divided into two categories. Some claimed that they were absolutely not afraid to watch the film. Others said that they had never seen anything worse in their lives. It’s strange that the film was low-budget and before and after it, the “filmmakers” made more than one horror film that could scare and interest much more.

Among the reviews you can find opinions that everything in the film looks “cheap and artificial”, and there are only two main characters, which is also not exciting. Experts called the film a very successful project of the director, on which only 15 thousand dollars were spent, but tens of times more was collected.

The truth of the facts from the picture

According to director Oren Peli, who also wrote the script for the film, the film is based on events that allegedly happened to him in reality. However, experts called “Paranormal Activity” a pseudo-documentary. Why? Because documentaries are made on proven facts, using the assessments of scientists and specialists, in this matter - psychics. In this case, none of the physicists, parapsychologists, sorcerers and other professionals confirmed the presence of any otherworldly entity in the house of Mr. Peli, who rented his “brainchild” in his own country home.

The first part of the film shows the ordinary life of an average American family. These shots do not resemble an excerpt from a horror film, but rather scenes from a sitcom or a reality show in general. However, later the transformation begins. All special effects become more obvious and frightening. This is the “realism” of the film.

Theoretically, similar events can happen in life. Official science has confirmed that there may be intangible things that we cannot see with the naked eye. Electromagnetic fields, ghosts or demons - specialists and curious people have repeatedly tried to record all this with the help of powerful equipment. But such attempts rarely ended successfully. It’s hard to believe that some otherworldly entity showed itself on an ordinary camera or that a person like Mika from the film could record his voice.

There is some truth in “Paranormal Activity”, because the events described in the film could actually happen. But everything that happens in the picture frightens us because it is shown close to reality, but is not shown “in all its glory”, completely, and therefore, as it were, stands on the line between two worlds - the real and the otherworldly.

Since the human psyche tends to fantasize and produce various images that appear in dreams, sometimes there is an obsessive feeling of the presence of someone else if the person is in a room in a completely enclosed space. All the above-mentioned techniques “did their job.” As a result, the viewer was presented with such an objective reality that can “shackle the brain” and seriously frighten.

Let us remember that most often films show fictitious facts that, in order to attract the public, can be veiled and hidden under the guise of realism. As for paranormal phenomena, experts say that of all the reports of poltergeists, ghosts and demons that have been “playing pranks” in the homes of various people, only no more than 10 percent have been proven.

From time to time, fatal events occur that cannot be explained rationally. Some of these stories happened quite a long time ago, some are recent. In any case, people remember them; they are all mysterious and frightening to such an extent that they invariably attract attention. Do you believe in paranormal phenomena? Or do you think it's all just a hoax? Let's remember the most famous mystical cases, here are 15 of them.

15. Dancing Plague of 1518

Documented in historical records of the 16th century, the so-called “dancing or dancing plague” became the only phenomenon of its kind.
In July 1518, in the city of Strasbourg (at that time part of the Holy Roman Empire, now the Alsace region of France), residents suddenly felt an irresistible desire to dance. Several people began to dance for days on end, without rest, without stopping. Many died from heart attacks, strokes and exhaustion.
The outbreak of the "epidemic" began when a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing in the streets of the city. Within a week, 34 people joined the dance, and within a month there were 400. Historical documents indicate that people died from exhaustion caused by the incessant dancing. But the reasons why people did not stop are unclear. As the situation got worse and more people began to dance, the worried nobles began to look for reasons. Some of the dancers were taken to sanctuaries and temples to pray for healing from their illness. It all ended with the dancing stopping as suddenly as it had begun.
Current theories to explain the dancing plague include mass mental disorder, ergotism (poisoning with ergot alkaloids), religious ecstasy, chorea, or the "Dance of St. Vitus." But it must be recognized that none of these theories can fully explain what really happened.

14. Carl Pruitt

The story of the curse of Carl Pruitt's grave began in 1938 in Pulaski County, Kentucky (USA). Pruitt returned home after a day at work and found his wife in the bedroom with another man. Becoming enraged, Pruitt grabbed the chain and began to choke her, while her lover fled the scene. After the woman died, Pruitt committed suicide.
Pruitt's wife's family refused to forgive him, and he was buried separately, in another cemetery (and even in another city). Cemetery visitors passing by Pruitt's grave noticed something strange was happening to it. They saw strange spots that looked like circles and then began to connect, and the image on the gravestone became like a chain. The strange image attracted the attention of boys who were passing by on bicycles. To impress his friends, one boy threw a stone at a tombstone and suddenly cracked it. On the way home, the boy had an incredible accident: a bicycle chain came off, wrapped around his neck and strangled him. The boy’s mother was heartbroken and decided to “get even” on the gravestone. She took an ax and hit the slab several times. The next day, when she was hanging the clothes on the line after washing, it mystically got tangled around her neck and killed the woman.

These are just some of the eerie stories surrounding the Pruitt Strangler's grave...By the early 1940s, most people were already staying away from that cemetery, in fear of losing their own lives. After another death at Pruitt's gravesite, his body was exhumed and his headstone destroyed.

13. The Amityville Horror

This may be the most famous story on our list. The Amityville case is the trial of 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. for murdering all members of his family. This tragedy caused a great stir in society, and over time led to the emergence of a cultural phenomenon called the “Amityville Horror.” The story led to a couple of dozen film adaptations, a book and a lot of parodies. What happened there?

There were 6 victims: Ronald Jr.'s parents - Defeo Sr. (44 years old) and Louise (42 years old); and his four siblings - Don (18), Allison (13), Mark (12), and John Matthew (9). They were all shot with a .35 Marlin shotgun by Ronald Dafoe Jr. According to the examination, Louise and Allison were awake at the time of death.

Defoe's lawyer tried to bring the case to the killer's insanity, especially since Defoe claimed that he “heard the voices of his relatives in a conspiracy against him.” However, a doctor named Harold Rolan stated that DeFeo was responsible for his actions, although he used heroin and LSD and suffered from antisocial personality disorder. Despite this, many unknowns remain in the case. For example, there is no motive. Also, none of the neighbors heard the shots, although it is simply impossible not to hear the roar of a shotgun. All the victims were laid face down, but the investigation showed that the killer did not move the bodies. Ronald Defeo himself claimed that a certain Indian leader forced him to do all this. The killer is currently serving six concurrent sentences - he received a life sentence for each of the six murders.

12. McCormick's Notes

Ricky McCormick was murdered on June 30, 1999, and notes were found in his pants pocket that appeared to contain a coded message. However, all attempts by cryptanalysts from the FBI and the American Cryptanalytic Organization to decipher them were unsuccessful. Interestingly, news reports from 1999 did not contain information about encrypted notes. Data about this were made public only 12 years later, when the FBI considered this death a murder.

Both notes contained text consisting of letters and numbers with occasional parentheses. The FBI believes the notes may contain information about McCormick's killer. According to McCormick's relatives, the deceased had used a similar technique for encoding messages since childhood, but, unfortunately, none of them knew the key to his code.

All attempts to decipher the text led to nothing, and in 2011, the FBI, through its website, asked for help from everyone who wanted to help figure it out. A huge number of different interpretations and versions have been received, but there is still no decoding of McCormick's messages, nor an explanation for his mysterious death. Who killed him?

11. Robert Stephen Larsen, Jr.

Although Larsen did not die, the circumstances of his injury were intriguing enough to warrant adding to our list. The story goes like this: Wilissa, a small quiet town in Iowa. In early June 1912, around 12:45 p.m., the Moore family was brutally bludgeoned to death with an axe. There were 8 victims, of whom only two were adults: Joseph (aged 43), Sarah (née Montgomery, 39), Herman Montgomery (11), Mary Catherine (10), Arthur Boyd (7) and Paul Vernon (5) , and two guests - Ina (8) and Lena Stillinger (12). The killer, who was never found, was able to get in and out of the house undetected because he had a key. As he left, he sang the doors behind him and closed the windows. Although there were several suspects, no one was convicted of this horrific crime.
On November 7, 2014, Larsen (a ghost hunter) and a group of his comrades remained at the "Willis House where everyone was killed with an ax" to conduct some kind of paranormal investigation. Larsen was in the northwest bedroom (where the Stillinger girls were killed) when he suddenly called for help using his radio in a panic. When his friends found him, he had been stabbed in the chest and apparently self-inflicted... This happened around the same time that the Moore family was murdered.

10. Ghost Widow

In a small village in Thailand called Tambon Tha Sawang, there have been at least 10 unexpected deaths among men who were reportedly completely healthy. Some simply dropped dead in the street, while others died in their sleep.

A medium was brought in to find out if these strange events were connected to the "ghost widow". And the medium ordered all the villagers to hang red shirts in front of their windows to ward off evil spirits. He also warned families where there was an only son that they were in the greatest risk zone, a ghost would definitely come to them. Interesting method of fighting! There were also rational assumptions as to what actually caused the death of these 10 people: most likely, an “on-board” illness or an infectious disease.

9. Debra and Mark Constantino

The couple appeared on TV shows and reportedly seemed very close. However, their lives were tragically cut short. Reports stated that the couple was in the process of divorcing and that there had been episodes of domestic violence.

It began with the murder of Debra's neighbor, James Anderson, who was found dead, and ended in a two-hour police standoff at the couple's daughter's apartment. Apparently, Mark killed Debra and then turned the gun on himself. Was it a murder of jealousy or one of those paranormal cases? Sounds like a case of domestic violence. However, the influence of supernatural forces is not excluded. By the time police stormed the house, Debra and Mark had died.
Just in case, write down your phone number for such cases (if you are in the USA, of course):
National Domestic Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

8. Henry Thomas

It turns out that there is such a thing as “spontaneous human combustion.” Henry Thomas caught fire and was completely burned while sitting calmly in a chair and watching TV. All that was left of him was a skull and one foot in a boot. Some said Thomas' death was caused by a lit heater. But why then didn’t Thomas’s house get affected by the flames, and why didn’t the owner of the house even move? A mystery... 73-year-old Henry Thomas met his death in 1980.
Despite numerous cases of spontaneous combustion of people, science treats this phenomenon very carefully. Indeed, how can a person catch fire if 2/3 of him consists of water and other non-combustible elements? They claim that a person can only burn if the combustion temperature exceeds 1000 degrees, and this temperature will last for several hours. And nothing like this is simply impossible to achieve under normal conditions... All that remains is the paranormal and mystical rationale for this mysterious phenomenon. Decide for yourself!

7. Evelyn Hernandez

Evelyn Hernandez, 24, went missing on May 1, 2002. The girl was pregnant and was about to give birth. Her five-year-old son Alexis also disappeared with her. Hernandez dated a man named Herman Aguilera (the father of the unborn child).
On July 24, 2002, Hernandez's body was found in the San Francisco Bay near a bridge. Broken legs and torso wearing a maternity blouse were all that were found. DNA tests confirmed the remains were Hernandez's, however, neither the rest of the body, nor her fetus, nor Alexis were ever found. Intentional harm or paranormal activity? There is a version that Satanists are involved in this terrible crime, who pray to the devil every day, and this takes the story to another level.

6. The Jamisons

On October 8, 2009, around 2 p.m., Bobby (44 years old) and Sherilyn Jamison (40 years old), along with their 6-year-old daughter Madison, got ready for a trip. They lived in their own home in the small town of Eufaula, Oklahoma. The family was looking for land to buy, and the destination of their trip was literally 40 km from Eufaula, in the mountains of Oklahoma (Latimer County), near the village of Red Oak. The land broker offered to let the family go with them, but the Jamisons refused to help. After loading the things they needed for the trip into their pickup truck and grabbing their small dog, the family headed to the Red Oak area, where she was last seen.

On October 17, 2009, hunters discovered an abandoned white pickup truck 10 km from Red Oak, on a dirt road in the forest. In the car were the owners' belongings and a dog half dead from hunger and dehydration. Where did they go? There were no signs of a struggle, and the owners disappeared without taking with them documents, mobile phones, outerwear, a GPS navigator, or even wallets with credit cards and small cash. But the biggest surprise was under the driver's seat - after searching the car, the police found a paper bank bag containing $32,000. A week later, the search activities were stopped, and everyone realized that something extraordinary had happened to the Jamison family.

5. Charles Walton

Charles Walton is a resident of the village of Lower Quinton in Gloucestershire, England. Known as a victim of a brutal murder. Walton's murder case remains unsolved. He was 74 years old at the time of the murder and had lived in Lower Quinton all his life. He was a widower who shared his small house with his 34-year-old niece Edith, whom he adopted at age 4 after her mother died. Walton had a reputation for being unsociable.

On February 14, 1945, early in the morning, Walton went to work in the field, grabbing a pitchfork and a small ax. The last person to see him alive was a local farmer who spotted Walton near Meon Hill around noon. Night fell, and Charles still did not appear at home. Concerned, Edith turned to a neighbor for help and together with him went in search of her uncle. Walton's body was found lying under a large willow tree at the top of Meon Hill. The pitchforks were driven into his throat with such force that their teeth went deep into the ground. In addition, there was a cruciform wound on the dead man’s chest; the ax was driven straight into his ribs.

Renowned anthropologist Marguerite Murray stated that Charles Walton was killed in a Celtic rite of sacrifice by a secret sect of Druids. Scotland Yard tried to solve the “Walton case” without mysticism. But February 14 was not an ordinary day - according to the Druid calendar it is February 1, the day of sacrifice to the earth. Among the Celts, it was called the day of the Festival of Lights - Oimelka, when the Druid priests performed their bloody sacrifices on a freshly plowed field, asking the gods to send a good harvest.
Although no one was ever formally charged with the murder of Charles Walton, it is said that it was witchcraft and the murder was occult. In fact, when Walton's pocket watch was found at home, a piece of colored glass was found inside it. The glass of the "glass witch" is used to ward off evil from the wearer - Charles never took this watch off except the day he was killed.

4. Christopher Case

Christopher Case, 35, lived in Seattle, Washington. In April 1991, he was found dead in the bathtub, with a horrified expression on his face. Shortly before his death, he visited San Francisco, where he met and went out for lunch with a couple of acquaintances. Sammy Sauder, a physicist, teacher and longtime friend of Case's, received a voicemail message from Case. He called in a panic and claimed that a certain woman had placed a curse on him because he was not interested and rejected her. According to Sauder: "He said he was very afraid, the witch had been attacking him all night (in his sleep, not physically), and cutting him into pieces. He woke up with small cuts on his fingertips. And asked me to call him back."

When the body was discovered, authorities found candles and crucifixes; The perimeter of the house was watered with a salt solution. Tony Burt of the King County Police said: “The cause of death is unknown. The initial autopsy does not indicate death by violence. (Detectives) don't believe it's a homicide. An investigation into this death is ongoing."

3. Newborn from Talisay, Philippines

In this case, little is known. It happened in December 2011: John Edison Malakay, a ten-day-old child, died under extremely strange circumstances. The grandparents reported red stains splattered across the floor of their daughter's home (they thought they might be rats) and blood stains in the kitchen.

When the newborn's mother, Kimberly, received a call, she rushed home in a panic. This is terrible, get ready...Her newborn son was oozing blood from his mouth and nose; his navel was pierced, as if dried out. The child died in the hospital. The family claims that he was killed by some otherworldly being.

People are naturally skeptical and suspect evidence is being hidden, but that is only until the neighbors notice blood on the roof of the house where the crime took place...

2. Peggy doll

The Peggy doll, supposedly cursed and containing some terrible powers, belongs to a resident of the United Kingdom, Jane Harris. The woman calls herself a researcher of supernatural phenomena and explains her keen interest in the occult with the innate extrasensory abilities that she inherited from her grandmother.

Peggy is a very unusual doll. She does not speak or move at night, but she tends to cause severe nausea and chest pain when in the same room with people. Jane made several recordings in which she tried to expel the evil entity from the doll and posted them on YouTube.

1. Eliza Lam

On January 26, 2013, 21-year-old student Elisa Lam left her native British Columbia for California. After spending some time in San Diego, on January 28, she checked into the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. On February 1, she was supposed to check out of the hotel. She was last seen alive three days after checking in in the hotel lobby.
While in California, Lam kept in contact with her parents every day, and after they were unable to contact her, they called the police. The police investigated the girl's disappearance and a few days later found CCTV footage from the hotel elevator, which showed Lam behaving very strangely: pressing buttons and sticking her head out of the elevator several times, as if looking for someone. She also periodically enters and exits the elevator, and even appears to talk to herself.

Two weeks passed, but no trace of Lam was found until hotel residents began complaining about black water from the taps and lack of pressure in the taps. Climbing to the roof, a hotel employee found Lam's naked body in one of the closed water tanks. An autopsy was performed which showed that the girl had drowned. No drugs or alcohol were found in her blood. The death was determined to be an accident.

Ghost fans believe that Lam was actually possessed by some kind of evil spirit or was under its influence. As evidence that Lam was possessed, people point to the fact that it is still unclear how she managed to get to the roof. There are two accesses to it: the fire escape or the door, which was always locked. In addition, the locked door was in a place that only long-term guests (and probably a ghost among them) or hotel staff knew about. Lam was a girl of fragile build, but she somehow managed to open the heavy door and close it behind her.

These creepy stories have been posted by various internet users. They are dedicated to strange, absurd, shocking cases. The focus of each is one or another paranormal phenomenon. Believe it or not, it's up to everyone. It is still impossible to prove that none of this happened. So, if panic and anxiety don’t scare you and you’re ready to tickle your nerves, check out these mystical stories.

A package with scary contents

One guy talked about his neighbor, whom no one respected. He tried to become famous by making videos about everything to get people's attention. One day he was getting ready for a trip and asked the guy to pick up the mail while he was away. He agreed. Everything went well for a week, and then a package appeared on the neighbor’s porch. The guy was surprised by her incredible weight. He struggled to carry it to his garage to store it there. After some time, a disgusting smell began to emanate from the box. The guy opened the box and at first thought that someone had sent some meat to his neighbor. Instead of pork or beef, it turned out to be the neighbor himself, and his camera was lying nearby. All to become famous through video?

Old hospital
