The Most Haunted Items Ever Sold On Ebay

For years now it has been a growing trend to buy a creepy ass doll and stick on eBay, essentially doubling your money. It’s fair to say the majority of these items are duds. However, there are a some out there that an unlucky few were fortunate enough to buy. They were quick to pass them on, but these haunted objects have been causing mayhem ever since. 

 

The Hand’s Resist Him

In February 2000, a mysterious painting listed on eBay by an anonymous seller, claiming it was haunted. The Seller claimed it was found in an old dumpster by an art picker. The original listing included this ” One morning my 4-year-old daughter said the children were fighting and coming into her room at night.” The painting was listed with pictures from a motion sensor of the little boy and girl doing just that. It also came with a warning that staring at the picture for too long caused sudden and violent illness. Also that since the picture had come to his home they had heard screaming and experienced the sensation of being grabbed by unseen hands. 

The Hands Resist Him was the name given to this painting by its creator Bill Stoneham in 1972. He was inspired by a childhood photo and his mother’s poem ‘ The Hand’s Inspire Him’. It was an adaptation of his younger years growing up in Chicago. He described the whole process as ‘channeling’,  the hands as ‘ other lives’, the glass doors as ‘a thin veil between waking and dreaming’ and the girl/doll as ‘a companion through this realm.’ However this was created, it was a method that accidentally gave it some bad attachments. That’s if it was accidental at all.

 

Harold The Doll

Harold the Doll or “eBay’s First Haunted Doll” is one of the most famous and infamous haunted objects on the planet. The original owner listed Harold with a warning, a story and a strict no return policy. For the full original listing click here. The Seller originally bought Harold from a flea market in Florida. After his initial purchase, the original vendor chased him down and warned him against taking the doll home. He told his customer that he and his wife would hear singing coming from his son’s room after his son had died and upon investigation, they would only find Harold. One thing led to another and a priest was called in to help the mourning parents, ” Burn the doll ” he said. The old man tried and tried to do just that but the doll would never catch a flame, that’s why his arms and legs are blackened and worn. 

The man laughed and took it Harold home. He experienced chronic migraines, heard children laughing and singing from the basement where Harold was kept, coincidentally that is also where the family cat was found dead, at Harold’s feet. Since then the doll has fallen into the hands of Anthony Quinata who blogs everyday life with Harold. However, that was not before Harold has terrorized over 8 previous owners. Harold since has gained fame, fame enough to make an appearance on Ghost Adventure’s trip to Xochimilco ‘ The Island of Dolls’ were Zak Bagans, the lead investigator, suffered a bruise on the arm the same size and shape of a children’s hand. 

Harold is well known to bite, scratch, scream, cry, sing, set fire to things and generally ruin lives. That $20 could have been well spent somewhere else…

 

The Dibbuk Box

The Dibbuk Box

The Dibbuk Box is the world’s most haunted object, it leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes. ‘Dibbuk’ is the Hebrew word for Demon and it is thought that this charming little wine cabinet contains just that, along with a number of other peculiar objects. The Dibbuk Box originates from war-torn 1930’s Poland were a young girl Sophie and an older girl Havana decided to would be a bit of a giggle to whip out the old ouija board.They accidentally brought forth something that terrorized them for 2 years.

In the end, Havana sought the help of a Hebrew Priest who told her she had brought through a ‘Dibbuk’. In desperation, she learned how to seal these kinds of creatures away. So she placed a spell on an old wine cabinet and placed inside; a loche of her hair, a dried rose, an 8 legged candle holder, a tablet with the world’s “Shalom” inscribed, a small wine goblet, and two copper pennies. The Box then passed on to Sophie who guarded it until the ripe old age of 103, she passed it to her grand daughter and warned her to NEVER open it. 

Eventually, a small business owner purchased the box at a yard sale who it haunted for many years, he even blames the death of his mother on the box, who was found after having a stroke facing the box. She managed to write before she died to her son, H-A-T-E-G-I-F-T. The Box was then listed on eBay and passed hands many times until it was purchased by a man in Kentucky who buried it the deep underground in a military grade container. Today, however, Mr. Zak Bagans has purchased it for his museum, setting him back 10’s of thousands of dollars. If you are over 18 and have signed a waiver you can go and check the box out yourself!

You’ve Been Warned : The Black Angels of Iowa State

Cemeteries will always be creepy af, the moment the sun goes down they become a whole different place. Some Cemeteries are stunning like the Highgate Cemetary in London but some are just plain morbid. However, all graveyards have legends, but none quite so real as the Oakland and Fairview Cemeteries in Iowa. Both are home to black angels and both have been causing mayhem. 

 

The Black Angel of Iowa Cemetary

Since its first appearance in 1912 the Black Angel of Oakland Cemetary, Iowa has been at the heart of Iowa’s legends and paranormal mysteries. Supposedly bringing death to all who dare touch her. 

Standing 8 ft tall as a monument to the Feldevert Family. It has strangely changed colour from a golden brown to a penetrating black.

The Legends all seem to revolve around Tereza Dolezal Felvedert, a migrant from Strimilov, Bohemia who came to America to make a new home. 

Teresa moved with her son Eddie who died two years later of Meningitis. Others claim he died in a more suspicious fashion, much like the death of a new husband two years after. 

To Mourne their deaths, Teresa hired a fellow Bohemian to construct a bronze angel to stand guard over her lost loves. She moved the remains of her son from his original resting place to be next to his stepfather. Then she, herself, shortly followed dying of cancer on November 18, 1924.

Her angels were placed underneath her angel. That’s when the weird things began to happen.

The Stories began after the angel turned black. Of course, this was most likely the natural oxidisation. However, it happened at such an unnatural speed that people became freaked out and rumours about the late Miss Felvedert began to surface. 

Worst of all, perhaps, that she murdered her son and then moved his body under the angel. The angel looks down which defies the ‘norm’. Angels traditionally angels look up, with their arms spread towards the sky which is meant to guide the lost souls to heaven. This black angel looks down, with her arms and wings blocking the transcendence and keeping the spirits of her son and husband trapped on earth. 

Some say Teresa was a witch and use these theories as proof.

This remains one of Iowa’s most haunted locations regardless. With everyone from University professors to paranormal investigators coming to pay the Cemetary a visit. 

In 2013, the SyFy series Haunted Highway visited Oakland Cemetery to devote an entire episode to the Black Angel. When filming they captured a number of odd sounds and visual anomalies. Most significantly when they flicked there thermal cameras on the angel was glowing hot, defying the cold night air surrounding it…

 

The Black Angel of Fairview Cemetary

On the other side of Iowa stands another Black Angel who is also surrounded by strange tales and paranormal activity. 

This angel presides at the Ruth Ann Dodge Memorial, just outside the entrance to Fairview Cemetary. Fairview is also called ” The Old Burial Ground ” and is one of the oldest burial grounds in the country. 

It Began as a native American burial ground and was taken over by the Mormons for a short time. This Black Angel was erected to mark the grave of Ruth Ann Dodge, the wife of General Grenville M. Dodge.

Soon after Ruth Ann’s death, her daughters brought her body to Council Bluff to bury her. They then hired Daniel Chester French to build the angel Ruth Anne saw in her ‘visions’ when she was close to death. Mr French was best known for building the Lincoln Statue in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. I bet she didn’t come cheap. 

The Black Angel is said to follow visitors with her eyes and is known to cause sickness if you make eye contact for two long. 

The Graveyard is also a well known haunted spot with lights seen hovering behind the older trees on the site, as well a constant feeling of being closely followed. 

 

Japan’s Cursed Okiku Doll, Her Hair Won’t Stop Growing

The Okiku Doll is one creepy little toy. Supposedly possessed by the spirit of a murderous little girl, it haunts the temple it now resides in. Everything about this doll is terrifying, however, there is something that makes this doll stand out above any Annabelle or Robert. It’s hair will not stop growing….

The Tale of Okiku

In the earlier spring months of 1918 a young boy called Eikichi Suzuki went to market and bought his younger sister a doll. The doll was traditional wearing a kimono and her hair was a thick black bob. She was instantly in love. She loved it so much, she chose to name it after herself. 

The two Okiku’s were inseparable until tragedy struck, the real Okiku became gravely ill and died one year later. Her grieving family placed her beloved doll on the family altar in memory of their only daughter.

The family went to see Okiku regularly and all was fine until the older brother pointed about that the doll’s hair seemed a little longer… Then it continued to grow and grow until it became a shaggy mess down to Okiku’s knees. The family cut the hair again and again but every time it would just grow back. Only stopping at the knees. They soon believed that the spirit of their lost daughter was living within the doll. 

The family moved in 1938, they wanted to take Okiku with them but there was something not right about the doll, something that made them think twice about the fact it could be their daughter’s ghost within. But if it really was there little Okiku they did not want to just throw it away. 

In the same year, the doll was sent to a Mannenji temple, who still took it after being told about the dolls curse and her continuously growing hair.The doll’s hair continues to grow to its knees, and in the temple it became a regular task to trim Okikus hair until the present day.

Okiku without doubt, is one of the world’s most haunted dolls. There is activity and possible negative activity at that surrounding this little porcelain horror.  The real phenominon is her forever growing barnet. No one has really been able to explain this occurence, how the dolls hair has continued to grow for over a century. 

She has since been taken and examined and it has been found her hair is actually human hair! Ofcourse, this does not mean it was paranormal or supernatural. But what is going on with this doll. Some sort of hoax ? Or something a little more mysterious we do not yet understand. 

Now Okiku is standing in her box as she always has been in the Mannenji Temple, wearing her kimono and watching the strangers pass by while her hair continues to grow…

The Exorcism’s Very Own Haunted Prop : Regan’s Dummy Double

So we have all heard of the Exorcist movie, the original horror that scared the shizz out of everyone who dared to buy that cinema ticket. But there is a lot more that happened behind the scenes. So much, that is thought that the movie itself is cursed. But does anyone remember the dummy used in the film?? The scenes where the possessed girl would spin her head 180 degrees? Well, it has surfaced and something seems to have been following it all these years…

The Latest Haunted Object !!!

This is easily the world’s freakiest haunted object, even Robert the Doll can’t knock this creepy ass creation. But it has just come to light that it is haunted!

The Dummy used effectively as Regan’s body double during a few of her possession scenes comes with a few crazy features of its own, the most insane being that its head spins 180 degrees! Imagine walking in on that happening. 

The Moving Museum NYC now plays host to the cursed dummy, we have not heard anything from them yet. The Instagrammer Profenex had this to say  “I swear, lights would go out. Things would fall off the shelf, tools turned on automatically. Weird voices at night with no one there. Seriously weird stuff, no joke.” The Instagrammer played host to the dummy when he was hired to do some restoration work on her, but I’m guessing the attachment that comes with this doll went unmentioned. 

The Dummy is one to watch for sure, but this prop was one the least weird parts of the Exorcism phenomena that swept the world…

 

 

The Cursed Movie

Ever since Prorenfx took to Instagram to tell the world of the horror that still lingers around the Exorcist movie dummy. A lot of people forward about their experiences with the movie. The Regan Doll is a strong contender for the world’s most haunted object but there are stories circulating the movie itself!! The cast, the first screening, and even the location where it was all filmed! Was creating a movie of this calibre for the first time too risky and did it perhaps invite something evil into the world?? Let’s find out.

A rare behind the scenes photo, image via  No Film School

First of all, you have to remember that this insane ass film was all based on true events. William Blatty first wrote the novel in 1971 titled The Exorcist and it was all based on the real exorcism of a boy known as Roland Doe. Multiple Catholic Priests from the Georgetown University Hospital performed actual exorcisms on the young boy but had to stop every time as the young boy would somehow, free himself from the restraints every time, he would then proceed to rip out the bed springs from his mattress and slash at the priests. This happened a few times.

The boy Roland Doe was in fact, an invented persona and the boy was changed to a girl in the film in order to protect his identity. Roland went on to live a happy and normal life with absolutely no memory of this incident. He actually retired from NASA decades later.

Another of the strange incidents that surrounded this movie was when the entire set caught fire. The actual Director William Friedkin, blamed the incident on a large creature with wings and talons. The crew was unharmed and the cause of the fire was never discovered. But, Regan’s room remained the only room unharmed… WTF.

Whilst filming, the actress Ellen bursten, who played Regan’s mother, was injured during the possession when she is thrown to the floor. That scene was actually used in the movie and the scream following is real. The injury still affects her today.

There is a good chance that any movie that takes over a year to film has had some bad luck, The Exorcist had a few deaths instead… The actors Jack Macgowran and Vasiliki Maliaros both died post-production. There characters died in the movie aswell which only makes it stranger. Other actors including Linda Blair and Max Von Sydow’s lost family members on the first day of filming!

During filming the son of Jason miller who played father miller almost lost his son in a motorcycle accident.

Rare and Uncut Tapes from the Possession of Annelise Michelle 

Whilst filming one of the possession scenes, Linda was thrown out of bed and a piece of the rigging broke, injuring her back. After the film’s initial release Linda received countless death threats so the studio was forced to hire bodyguards to protect her 24/7. 

Before that, however, in 1987, the actress Mercedes McCambridge who played the voice of Pazuzu, was most affected by the film. Her son murdered his wife and son whilst he was on set, before taking his own life…

All of these horrible things that happened around the movie will never be forgotten. Many still believe the film to be cursed and that playing it was an invitation for demonic possession. When it was released it was quickly banned from every middle eastern country apart from Lebanon, with the re-release also being banned in Lebanon. 

During the first showing of the Exorcism in Rome, the audience had to fight their way through thunder and heavy rain to get inside. Then just before the movie was about to start they all claimed to hear a demonic screech come from outside the cinema door. 

At a showing in America, a woman passed out and broke her jaw as she fell… Warner bros were sued countless times by the time the movie was eventually taken from cinemas… 

There was way too many strange occurrences surrounding this movie to ignore. Was it all just hysteria following the original horror, or did this daring picture truly invite something darker than anything else into the cinema with us…

Designed by the Dead : Iulia Hasdue

What happens when your child calls up from beyond the grave and describes how she would like a castle built? Well, you build it! That is exactly what this father did, with rooms designed simply for spiritual contact, corridors leading to nowhere, and even restricted sections rumoured to be home to something a lot more sinister. Romania’s most haunted location?

Image Via Vizitat

 

 

Romanian Intellectual Bogdan Pétriceicu Hasdue’s daughter died at 18 in the year 1888. He was heart broken. 

Iulia Hasdue’s early death would change his life forever. After she passed he chose to spend the majority of his time, wealth and brainpower into remembering his beloved daughter until he eventually found spiritualism. After years of practice, he made contact. 

Iulia, his daughter, was named after his wife and born in November 1869. From birth she was special, Iulia was gifted in music and languages, by 11 she had graduated from St. Sava Gymnasium and the Music Academy of Bucharest with honours in both piano and voice. 

Portrait of Iulia. Image Via True Romania

By her early teens, Iulia had already become fluent in seven languages and continued her secondary education at the Sévigné College of Paris. her peers and professors considered her to be a child genius, she excelled in all of her academic subjects as well as drawing, piano, painting and singing. A collection of her poems was published shortly following her death. 

At 16, Iulia began studies in the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy at La Sorbonne in Paris where she was a dedicated pupil and pride of her pops life. Then a month before her 19th birthday Iulia died from a severe and sudden case of Tuberculosis. Her father grew mad, he proceeded to build a temple for her in the family vault in Bucharest. But a simple Monument was not enough…

Iulia’s Father ; Bogdan Hasdue. Image Via Wikipedia

Bogdan decided to build a grander temple to honour his daughter, which turned into a castle, located in the country town of Campina. Bogdan and his wife found the dormant land and decided it would be perfect, so they bought it immediately and began to build. Bogdan claimed that he was in direct contact with his daughter who told him the designs for every room. 

She would communicate through short bursts of speech, giving him the designs for the castle. He paid particular attention to the magical numbers 3 and 7. Magical because Iulia claimed so. There are three towers, three rooms underground and each staircase consists of exactly 7 steps. The castle also holds a giant stone door entrance, hung on a diamond bearing. On either side f the door are the stone thrones, and sitting on each throne are two female sphinxes and above the door is ” the eye of the world “. The eye of the world was a symbolic representation of Bogdan’s two Iulias, his wife and daughter.

Of course, a castle such as this has rumours of a much darker past and purpose. It is described as the spookiest castle in the world as well as the most haunted. Is it possible than Bogdan contacted something else instead of Iulia? It could easily be that thing lurking the corridors that visitors are seeing, perhaps Iulia never even visited from above…

Built by the Devil : America’s Most Haunted House

 

The Haunting of Iulia Mansion

Whatever Bogdan did in his hours of solitude in this castle appears to have worked. A lot of people have seen a young girl in a white dress wandering through the castle at all hours and it is thought to be the intelligent spirit of Iulia herself. She is mainly seen wandering through the palace gardens, wearing a white dress and holding daisies. 

Many guests passing the castle at night have also reported hearing the sound of the piano coming from in the castle, even when at night it is empty. Others have even seen Iulia’s father Bogdan. He is seen frequently in corners of the building in deep conversation and talking with his daughter. It is nice to think that he was reunited with his daughter and all his plans actually worked in life.

Heart-warming as it is, there is something else happening here… many guests or passers-by have claimed to see Bogdan in the window, look dishevelled and half rotten. He is said to stand and to look out the window with a malicious intent in his face then he howls like a wolf…

people have also been hurt in the castle, some report bite marks whilst other complain of a sudden sickness and have to leave. The darker side of the castle is almost unheard of, perhaps it would affect the steady stream of tourists paying the admission fee, however, it is here. 

Who knows what Bogdan tried to summon his daughter back from the dead, perhaps some kind of ritual he knew was wrong. Is there something else within Iulia Castle? Perhaps we will never know, but you can agree there is something just not sane about this castle of necromancy.

5 of the Strangest Skulls Ever Discovered

Human history on earth is beneath our feet. Everyday archaeologists are discovering amazing new things that are changing the way we are looking at the past. Some of the strange skulls dug up over the years are doing just that. From Peru to Venice here is our list of the world’s most mysterious skulls. 

 

The Paracas

Image Via : Latin America Studies

The Paracas Skulls were discovered in 1928 by Julio Tello. In total, the archaeologist found just over 300 of these elongated skulls in a massive and elaborate graveyard in the Pico province of Peru. The skulls caught the media’s attention again in 2014 when a geneticist carried out DNA testing, stating that the Paracas Skulls have DNA ” with mutations unknown to any human, primate, or known animal so far”.

However, secondary testing showed us that the skulls were about 2000 years old and were from the European and Middle Eastern areas. These results change the known history about how the Americas were originally populated. It is believed that the shape of the skull was part of an indigenous ritual, where the tribes would tie a rope around an infant’s head as well as strapped a wooden plank to the back of the head. This caused the head to grow up, instead of out. But why were they doing this !? Experts stated that ” They were trying to replicate the shape of the head of their gods”. Men from the sky with long skulls? That’s definitely got nothing to do with an alien species then. 

 

The Vampire of Venice

During medieval times, the cure for suspected vampirism was to shove a large break into the cursed one’s mouth, thus breaking the jaw and leaving the vampire unable to bite again and then, of course, bury them alive. It is not clear exactly what this woman did to deserve her sentence. After extensive research, it is thought that this woman was between 61 and 71 and was most likely sentenced to death after being accused of witchcraft and the brick was just a safeguard. 

Commonly women of the 16th century did not live past 60, so if she was closer to the 70-year benchmark, then the men of that time must have concluded that she was a vampire, and like her predecessors had most obviously cheated death. Not sure if this deserved death by brick-to-face…

 

The Rhodope Skull

The Skull of Rhodope, found in Bulgaria is amongst the strangest remains found to date. It weighs only 250 grammes and has six cavities, it would have had up to 6 eyes or another set of unknown organs. It also has no mouth. Unfortunately, this skull was quickly hidden from the public view, today it is unknown where it is located, but we have heard too many times how quickly these types of objects can disappear. Alien or mutation? Perhaps it is just an undiscovered species… Only time will tell unless this particular skull fades from living memory. 

 

The Horned Skulls of PA

Image Via : Blumhouse

These creepy skulls were dug up from a burial mound in Pennslyvania in the late 1800’s. The excavators were actually following up on leads of this mound once belonging to Native American’s, but they found what look like demon’s skulls. It is a well-known fact that spiritual leaders or priests of this culture would wear horn’s on their head as a sign of wisdom. However, these horns are growing from the skull itself. Not to mention the skulls belonged to creatures that would have been 7ft tall. 

There have been trickles of evidence that have been found over time that support a theory that a race of giant humanoids ruled over the America’s as part of an ancient civilisation. The remains of these skulls were sent to Philadelphia Museum for further research, but prepare yourself for a surprise… They were stolen and never seen again…

 

The Starchild

This skull was found near a mine in Chihuahua, Mexico during the 1930’s. It was fully examined by a paranormalist, Lloyd Pye who claimed that this was evidence of human and alien interbreeding. He thought that the mother was human and his father an alien. It was originally believed that this 1000-year-old skull simply belonged to a child with a condition called hydrocephalus. However, the DNA showed no evidenced of this affliction. It also showed many genetic differences between the

However, the DNA showed no evidenced of this affliction. It also showed many genetic differences between the Starchild and a regular human, enough to prove that this thing was not human at all. His cranial cavity for one was 30% bigger than that of a normal child, its bone was also much thinner but actually stronger than that found in a normal human skull, this was thanks to microscopic fibres found in the in its structure, a feature never before seen in human skulls.

Olde English Folklore : The Hand of Glory

According to legend, the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man possesses supernatural powers. These hands are said to possess the power to manipulate the movement of a room or house full of people… But what is it !?

The Magic Behind The Hand

Im sure all you Harry Potter fans out there will be going nuts over Mr Malfoys Hand of Glory. This cursed item, in particular, is surrounded by mystery, black magic and death. It has a much darker purpose than most objects of a similar nature.

The hand made it’s first appearance during the 1600’s, it was mentioned in the grimoires similar to Petit Albert and the Compendium Maleficarum, It was also published in some manuals for witch hunting. The creation of this sinister object varies, as do its magical uses. They all involve a rather obvious hand but sometimes it is the severed hand of an executed criminal or a dead child’s hand, but the latter not so often.

(The Last Hand of Glory on Display)

 

The exact instructions are : Take the right or left hand of a felon who is hanging from a gibbet beside a highway; wrap it in part of a funeral pall and so wrapped squeeze it well. Then put it into an earthenware vessel with zimat, nitre, salt, and long peppers, the whole well powdered. Leave it in this vessel for a fortnight, then take it out and expose it to full sunlight during the dog days until it becomes quite dry. If the sun is not strong enough, put it in an oven with fern and vervain. Next make a kind of candle from the fat of a gibbeted felon, virgin wax, sesame, and phone and use the Hand of Glory as a candlestick to hold this candle when lighted …

None of this sounds too difficult and this item could come in handy to any local thieves! The most common suggestion of the hands uses where the use of the dead man’s fat to fuel the flame, in doing so the user would be able to paralyse anyone in a house or building, anyone but the user.
Other theories vary. Including the candle having the power to open any lock, the flame burning brighter in the presence of treasure, or only provides light to the wielder ( Potterheads ).
This does all sound incredibly useful ! But I can guarantee that your local store does not sell Zimbat or Ponie. Although the word ‘ Ponie ‘ is thought to mean horse poop ! So you have a little bit of a head start there.

 

Now there are ways to protect yourself from the creepy ass reach of a Hand of Glory. You can render it ineffective by running the threshold of all the windows and doors of your home with a mixture of screech owl blood, fat of a white hen and the gall of a black cat.

In these modern times, researchers do now think that the idea of a Hand of Glory is a kind of ” lost in translation ” moment. The theory first arrived when the word ” Mandragora “, or the mandrake root ( Potterheads ) was mistranslated from the french word main de gloie. However, this did not stop the Hands of Glory appearing time and time again throughout English Folklore and in actual homes !

Most Haunted Objects

 

One story involving the Hand of Glory comes out of the Spital Inn in North Stainmore 1797, where a burglar was found in the dead of night and in possession of one of these rather useless severed hands. There is also an actual Hand of Glory in England’s Whitby Museum. The magic relic was found sealed up in the walls of an old cottage in Castleton in 1935. It is apparently the last genuine Hand of Glory in existence.


Today the Hand of Glory has been used in a few movies like Hellboy and Harry Potter. There are even a few songs about the hand. It will remain in English Folklore and hopefully, the last remaining hand stays in good condition for hundreds of years. An awesome example of the madness of the 1600’s. http://www.the-line-up.com/hand-of-glory/

New Footage From Haunted Hospital Has Surfaced, It’s Awesome

Some footage has come out of one of the world’s most haunted hospitals and it’s insane. A doctor had recently taken his life and he has been terrorizing staff. But is this him ? Whatever it is, it is bone chilling.

 

The Footage seems to show a figure peeking out from behind the door, directly at the camera, you can easily make out a face, shoulders, and torso. He then simply walks out of the door and disappears…

The internet has claimed this video was taken in the School Hospital Universitario in Honduras, where a rather deranged doctor took his own life.

There are a lot of claims to this hospital being one of the most haunted in the world. There are an incredible amount of stories coming out of it ; lights flickering on and off, strange screams or a playing humming in the corridors. Not to mention the doctor himself creeping around.

As with most video posts, we will let the footage speak for itself and thank The Occult Museum for this awesome find.

3 Of The Greatest Unsolved Paranormal Mysteries

Some things simply just don’t make sense. Some people try to explain them with different, intricate explanations. You see some lights in the sky, upload it to youtube, someone is always going to say ” It’s just a plane”. But what happens when there is no explanation, and all people can say is ” It’s a Hoax”. You can believe what you chose to believe, that’s all good. But if there is proof that this event did happen like the Malaysian airline and there is still NO reasonable explanation for it, what then ? We have listed 3 of the greatest unsolved paranormal mysteries on planet earth.

 

 

The Ourang Medan Ghost Ship

The tales of ghost ships out on the sea have haunted sailors, fisherman, and merchants for hundreds of years. Passed down through generations to warn their successors of the untold dangers of the sea. The Flying Dutchman is the most famous ghost ship. But there is another more modern tale, but this one is true. The Ourang Medan ghost ship is an incredible phenomenon and it has been recorded. 

In June 1947, multiple ships traveling across the trade routes of the straits of malacca, which is located between the shores of Sumatra and Malaysia, began to pick up a series of SOS signals. The mysterious ships message was grim and simple : ” All officers, including captain, are dead, lying in chartroom and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead”. This would then be followed by a burst of indecipherable Morse code, then the final message : ” I die.” Then it would end with silence.

paranormal-mysteries2The SS. Ourang Medan.

The two ships that received the distress signal were American as well as listening posts belonging to British and Dutch. They eventually deduced that the signal was coming from a ship called the SS Ourang Medan, which at the time, was navigating the straits of Malacca. The conscripted American merchant ship called the Silver Star was closest to the presumed location. It took only a few hours to locate the ship, the SS Ourang Medan was rising and falling in the rough waters of the Malacca Straight. When they tried to communicate with the lost ship, there was no reply. So they left the safety of the Silver Star and prepared to board, with no idea they were about to walk into a living nightmare. 

As soon as the American crew boarded, they realized the distress calls were not overexaggerate. The deck was literally littered with corpses. There eyes where wild with fear, their arms were grasping at unseen assailants, their faces were twisted into horrific visages of agony and fear. Even the ship’s dog was dead, its face still curled into a defense snarl. The Captain was also exactly where the mysterious message said he would be, with his officers were scattered across the wheelhouse and chartroom. The last body they found was that of the communications officer, he was as dead as his crew, face just as twisted with fear and his finger still resting on the telegraph. All of the corpses had the same expression of fear.

The Captain of the Silver Star ordered that his crew was to toe the ghost ship to the shore, so its crew could be buried properly. However, whatever else was onboard that ship disagreed. Almost as quickly as the crew and attached the toe rope, the SS Ourang Medan exploded… 

The crew watched in amazement as the ship sunk to the depths of the ocean, with the ship went its crew… Later on, when reporting the ship’s destruction and the death of its crew, the Captain of the Silver Star was informed that the ship never existed. A true ghost ship… There are some awesome theories on what it could have been, or what the cause could have been, you can check them out at Mysterious Universe.

 

 

 

Dyatlov Pass Incident

The story that has baffled the world for over 50 years. The legend begins in the deep mid-winter of 1958. A Group of students decided to take a trip, all of whom were experienced hikers and skiers. They went through the Otorten Mountains in the Northen Urals.  Just as the terrain became more inhospitable than ever, one of the group turned back due to illness, he was the last person to see his companions alive.

Two weeks went by and there had been no word from any of the group. So a low ranking USSR officer received a phone call and he is instructed to lead a team to find the missing hikers. He and his team took a helicopter to the exposed side of the Otorten Mountain ( Death Mountain ), and they eventually come across a tent, half buried in fallen snow. So they land and discover the tent is empty…

Nothing even looked disturbed or out of place, what struck the crew, however, was that all of the group’s outdoor gear was still inside the tent. With the nearest town being miles away and the temperatures being below -30 in the night was reason could they have !? They soon discovered footprints leading from the tent and down the mountain face, shortly followed by the first body. 

Some of the corpses found.

The Footprints, first of all, told the investigating crew that the crew had fled in the night, some of them barefoot and the side of the tent had been cut open, from the inside. The majority of the bodies themselves had injuries such a fractured skulls and ribs, injuries induced by impact from a blunt object. The team later found signs of radiation and a final cryptic photo of the crew…

This event had been unanswered for decades. Easy to say it was a bunch of murders or crazy people in the mountains, but radiation ? For some possible answers check out The Dead Mountain Book.

 

 

The Green Children of Woolpit

The Children of Woolpit is an ancient account, dating right back to the 12th century. The town from which the story originates still has a sign, with the villages name with the two green children above. It tells us of two children that appeared on the edge of a small English village called Woolpit. There was a young boy and girl who both had dark green skin and wore clothes made from a strange material, and their speech was an unknown language . They were taken into the village and later into the home of a local landowner, Sir Richard de Caine Wilkes.

The children refused to eat any of the local food despite the fact they looked starving until they were brought harvested beans. They survived on just beans for 4 months until they tasted bread. 

green-children

The children began to integrate with the village and villagers, but they both became sick. The boy died shortly after but the girl survived. She later learned the language and even grew old enough to marry a man at King’s Lynn, in the county of Norfolk. Legend tells us that she took the name ‘Agnes Barre’ and the man she married was an ambassador of Henry II. But most incredibly she relayed the story of her and her brother’s origins. 

She reported that they both came from the ” Land of Saint Martin”, where there was no sun, but a constant twilight and all who lived there were green. She also described another land that could be seen from across from the river. The siblings were looking after their father’s flock when they found a cave. After entering they wandered, lost for a long time until they came out of the other side and were blinded by the sun. It was then they were found by the villagers. 

There is a lot and i mean ALOT of speculation around this paranormal mystery and some pretty crazy explanations that make sense. For more check out Myths.e

Dry Bones

The Dry Bones Ritual basically involved summoning a demon to play a kind of tag with you. If you win the game your wish is granted and if not the demon gets to do what it wants with you. If it ” Wins ” the result is obviously far from good.

How To Play ;

First up, you will need a bathroom with a mirror, some matches and to make sure you are alone in the house. This includes pets or any animals. This game must be played at 12:01am, all doors in your house must be closed, locked and secured, this includes cabinets, cupboards etc… Turn off all lights and electronic devices, tv etc… When the house is completely silent you can begin. *A word of warning if there are any strange sounds before you begin, Leave The House and do not return until the following morning. That means he is already there and watching…

The Game

Step 1: Picture something realistic that you want ( No floating houses)

Step 2: Light a match and wait until it burns out. It has to last at least 15 seconds

Step 3:Next say, loud and clear ” I am aware of your presence, I welcome you into my home, but not my body. Come Now”

Step 4: Go to the largest room in your house. ( This may take 5 mins or 5hours, so be patient)

Step 5: When you hear a strange sound, most commonly an unearthly moan. * If you hear any voices or feel anything strange, leave your house immediately.

Step 6: He will try and find you straight away, so hide quickly and remain hidden until 3am. Only at 3am is it safe to come out, also if anyone comes into your house during this time they are pretty much screwed.Step 4: Go to the largest room in your house. ( This may take 5 mins or 5hours, so be patient)

Step 7: At 3:01am go to the largest room in your house and say  ” Thank you for playing, but please leave now, you are no longer welcome”. Then wait until you hear a sound of some kind and repeat a few times, ” You are no longer welcome, please leave now”

Step 8: If you won, you will be rewarded soon.

A couple of final rules, Do not wish harm to anyone. He may decide that the price you paid was not enough for that, and only play this game once. If he did find you, then seek help, go to the church and ask for a blessing and just be strong in your own mind.

 

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary is a very old and very frightening game. The legend is that Mary the Queen of Scotts is the culprit for the horrific attacks following the ritual, but there are also rumours that it´s the spirit of a young girl who killed herself in front of the mirror. Whatever it is, it is bone chilling.

How To Play ;

Firstly, you’ll need to get some items ready, including; a candle, a bathroom, a mirror, some scared friends or none believers and a video camera . Don’t forget the first three, they are kind of essential. Oh and Do Not!, lock the bathroom door!

Step 1: Turn out the lights, light your candle and run the tap/faucet

Step 2: Begin chanting. ” Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” thirteen times, loud and clear

Step 3:Look into the mirror and confront the bloody Queen herself

Step 4: Get out, and lick your wounds

Don’t actually lick your wounds, take a picture instead. Yup, Bloody Mary is well known for marking her victims. But made no mistake this is a demonic conjuring and if it works ( we have never tried ) then you need to state clearly for the thing to leave, or it might just stay.

 

Three Kings

Three Kings is considered to be the most dangerous of all the games, so don’t take it lightly and see it all the way through . There is not a lot known about the origins of this sinister game, apart from that te fact that it was posted on Reddit back in 2013 and its been a storm of attempts ever since, ironically that post was called Do Not Try This !!! The results have been nightmarish. The rules are also very specific so follow them bit by bit. 

 

How To Play 

You’ll need another person with you, a large windowless room ( or just cover windows), a pack of candles, a lighter, a bucket of water, a mug, an electric fan, 2 large mirrors, 3 chairs, 1 alarm clock, 1 fully charged mobile phone and a small object with some sentimental value. 

The Set Up

Step 1: Begin at 11pm. Do not begin without your partner, he/she should with you at all times. 

Step 2: Place one chair facing north in the centre of your chosen room. This will be your throne, then place two other chairs at opposite sides of the throne, about arms length away. These will be your queen and fool’s chairs.

Step 3:Place on of the two mirrors on the queen’s chair and the other on the fool’s. The mirrors should be perpendicular to the chairs seats and facing both of each other and you. You should be able to see each mirror, your own reflection from your peripheral vision while seating on the centre chair ( throne).

Step 4: Place the bucket of water and the mug just in front of you but just out of reach, then place the fan behind your chair on a medium or low setting ( never high ) and turn it on, make sure its stationary

Step 5: Leave the room but keep the door open.

Step 6: Go to your bedroom. Set the candles, lighter, alarm clock, and cell phone next to your bed and make sure your phone is charging and set your alarm for 3.30am

Step 7: Turn the lights off, hold your prechosen object of sentimental value ( power object) and go to sleep.

The Game

Step 1: Wake up at 3.30am, keep the lights turned off, pick up your cell phone and power object, light a candle and return to the dark room. 

Step 2: Do NOT Proceed if the following occur;
. Your alarm did not go off
. Your mobile did not charge
. You approach the dark room and find the door closed
. Your approach the dark room and find the fan turned off
. You are not seated in the throne by 3.33am

Should any of these things happen, take your partner and any other living thing in your house and get the fudge out. Do not return until 6.am

Step 3:If none of the incidents above occurred, proceed. Take your thrones, but do not look directly at either of the mirrors and do not let the candle go out. Use your body to protect the flame from the fan. 

Step 4:Keep your eyes focused at the darkness in front of you. Again, do not look at the mirrors and do not look at the candle. Should you have any questions you wish to ask, you may ask them now. You may or may not receive a response; if you do, your response will come from the direction of one of the mirrors. Do NOT turn to look at the mirrors. Any answers received should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt; one of the mirrors is the queen and one is the fool, but it may not be clear which is which. Also note that to whatever may settle in the mirrors, you yourself are either the queen or the fool.

Step 5: Remain in the chair until 4.34am.

Step 6: At 4.34 am, your partner should call out your name to end the game. If this does not work your partner should call your mobile and if that doesn’t work, your partner should enter the room without touching you and pour the bucket or mug of water over you. ( These are to awake you from any strange state you will be in).

Concerning fail safes, If your body is suddenly moved, the fan will blow out the candle, ending the game. Should you become lost or disoriented, your power object will guide your way back. Do NOT ignore any of the previously noted red flags prior to seating yourself in your throne. Do NOT attempt to stay in your home should these red flags appear. Do NOT attempt if you do not completely and totally trust your partner.

During this hour, shit can get really messed up. This one we have tried and it was disturbing ( video posting soon ). our experiences were similar to others such as voices coming from each mirror saying kind of the opposite things. Objects were moving, my chair was thrown, the psychical activity was terrifying but the voices were so damn clear and contradicting each other when answering my questions… I’ll never know for sure if i was hallucinating or just tripping. But i do know that it was something i will never forget. 

 

Daruma-san or The Bath Game

Daruma-san is best known as the Bath Game and its kind of like a deadly version of red Red Light, Green Light. After the initial summoning, it follows the same rules as a Japanese children’s game called Darumasan ga Koronda, literally, ” The Daruma doll fell down”. During the corse of the game , Daruma-san attempts to catch the player, the player is ” it “. But if the Daruma-san catches you then let’s just say it doesn’t end well.  

 

How To Play 

You will need a bathtub and obviously a bathroom.

The Set Up

  1. Begin at night, just before you got to bed.
  2. Shed your clothing and enter the bathroom. Fill the bathtub with water and turn out the lights.
  3. Climb into the tub and sit down facing the faucet and taps. Close your eyes and begin washing your hair.
  4. As you wash your hair, repeat the words “Daruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down.” Do not stop repeating them until you have finished washing your hair. Do not open your eyes.
  5. If you have performed this action correctly, you will gain a mental image of a Japanese woman standing in a bathtub. She will slip and fall, landing face first on a rusty tap and gouging her right eye out.
  6. Should you hear any noise behind you or feel movement in the tub, do NOT turn around and do NOT open your eyes. Ask aloud, ‘Why did you fall in the bathtub?”
  7. Allow the question to hang in the air. Then, keeping your eyes shut, carefully stand up and get out of the tub. Do not trip and fall yourself, and do not drain the tub. Exit the bathroom, shutting the door behind you.
  8. You may now open your eyes. Leave the bathroom as you left it — water in the tub, door shut — until morning. Do not turn on any lights.
  9. Go to sleep.

The Game

Step 1. Awaken at your usual time. The game begins the moment you open your eyes.

Step2. Go about your day as normal. You will feel a constant presence behind you; it is likely that, should you turn to look, you will see nothing. However, glancing over your right shoulder may occasionally reveal a glimpse of her. Her hair will be black and tangled, and she will have only one eye.

Step3. She will attempt to get closer and closer to you as the day goes on. Should you spot her and find that she is too close for comfort, shout “Tomare!” — that is, “Stop!” — and run away. The idea is to put some distance between you and her; do NOT allow her to catch you.

The Ending:

Step 1. Capture her in your gaze by looking over your right shoulder.

Step 2. Shout “Kitta!” — that is, “I cut you loose!” — while swinging your arm down in a chopping motion. If you have performed this action correctly, a winning condition will have been achieved and the game will be over.

Step3. If you have NOT performed this action correctly… run.

Some of the other things you should know about the Daruma-san is that she is fond of water and dark spaces. It is highly recommended that you avoid all dark spaces and crossing running water until the end of the game.

Use the “Tomare!” command sparingly. Each time you use it, the amount of time for which it will stall her will diminish. Use it only when absolutely necessary.

The ending MUST be performed before midnight. Failing to do so will grant her permission to enter your dreams. Do NOT allow her to do this. Additionally, performing the ending is not as easy as it seems. If she suspects you are about to try to end the game, she may hide. You MUST have her in your sights when you perform the “Kitta!” command.

It is NOT recommended that you play this game more than once. Should you play it a second time, she will begin in the same position she was in at the conclusion of the previous game. This will not provide adequate distance to escape her.

Do NOT let her catch you.
