As October is quickly approaching, and that is the month with some extra creepiness, I thought I would highlight 5 creepy and mysterious photographs. Sometimes very rare and mysterious images are captured by unsuspecting people when taking a picture. Some images are even captured in television shows or newscast. Some images just make you wonder and maybe even check under your bed.
I will also attempt to provide a small overview about each image but I will not go into a lot of depth.
Are you ready? Here we go!
October is the month in which we talk about ghost and goblins. It seems we tend to hear some good ghost stories in the month of October. I ran across and good one today and wanted to share it. It comes from the Heartland Series which is produced by WBIR Channel 10. The original air date is 1984.
Over the last few days, I have been battling with a head cold. So, while trying not to over do it, I thought I'd just watch a movie. Being a fan of Nicolas Cage, I settled on Pay the Ghost. I had never heard of this movie. The plot of the movie is fairly straight forward. A professor (cage) takes his young son to a Halloween carnival and the child vanishes right from his side. After about a year, the professor and his estranged wife (Sarah Wayne Callies, The Walking Dead) start to have odd things happen and soon realize their son is trying to contact them. As the couple tries to uncover the mystery about their son, they follow the clues and learn about a local legend that refuses to die.
Now, this movies offers very little in the way of "something new", but I found it very entertaining. It does contain some "jumpy" parts and a dark gloomy atmosphere. It is very well acted and the mystery of the phrase "pay the ghost" figures into film very well. Another good thing, at least for me, was that the movie contains no sex scenes or nudity. I don't even think there was any swear words. The film should hold most people interest, as it did mine. The movie moves along and avoids the boring scenes that can kill movies of this type.
In the Bigfoot world, there is often talk about portals, well this just might be a movie for you as portals play a important part in the most climactic part of the film. In fact, one of the more creepy parts of the film happen during this part of the film.
In the end, the film is a very watchable and falls into the realm of such films as Insidious. It's a supernatural child abduction movie.
Rating:3 out of 5
Thanks

Let me start by saying Happy Halloween to everyone and be safe. I thought today, with it being Halloween, that I would feature 4 of the top haunted places in Kentucky. So here we go!
Waverly Hills Sanatorium - This building has been featured in many paranormal TV shows and is visited by thrill seekers on a regular basis. Waverly Hills was originally a tuberculosis hospital from 1910-1961. There are claims that over 63,000 people died while staying at Waverly. While that large number of deaths is disputed, no one can deny that the facility did have a large number of deaths and questionable treatment methods for patients. Waverly is among the most haunted places in the world, according to most list.
Bobby Mackey's Music World - Located in Wilder, Kentucky. According to one legend two Satanists murdered and beheaded a woman named Pearl Bryan in 1897. Her body was found minus her head, it was never found. Famous ghost hunter, Zak Bagans called Bobby Mackey's " the most haunted nightclub in America". There are various tales associate with this area. One such tale is that the original building use to be a slaughter house in the 19th century. There is also a tale about a pregnant dancer named "Johanna" committing suicide in the building. Bobby Mackey's is also said to feature a "Gateway to Hell", referring to the old well in the basement. The old well is said to be where the slaughter house threw all the bones and guts of the dead animals. Some say that is also where Pearl Bryan's head ended up.
Gates of Hell - Grandview Cemetery - Grandview Cemetery, aka Kasey’s Cemetery or the Gates of Hell, contains the graves of people from the 1700s and 1800s as well as the ruins of an iron and stone gate. Some say one time an enormous green orb appeared here, hovered a short time, then shot straight up and out of sight in a second. Others say they’ve heard screams, seen shadow figures, and had car trouble while on the grounds. There are lots of reports from this cemetery and one report comes from a ghost hunting team. The team was in the cemetery conducting an investigation and discovered the remains of three dogs, a puppy, two cats, a calf and
a deer scattered around the cemetery. Some believe that satanic worship is being conducted in the old cemetery. A scary place indeed.
Jailer's inn Bed and Breakfast - A nice bed and breakfast that use to be a jailhouse back in the 1800's. It has everything a person could ask for in a bed and breakfast. It is even said to have permanent guest in the form of ghost. These ghost are said to be former inmates from the old jailhouse. Many patrons of the inn have been known to feel the haunting presence of these previous inmates. Some even report hearing the sound of chains and shackles. Located in Bardstown, KY.
This is just a very small sample of the many haunted places and areas here in the bluegrass state of Kentucky. I know just here in my local area there are numerous cases of hauntings and tales of a freakish nature. I hope to feature some of them in the future.
If anyone, from any state, has experienced or captured ghostly activity, then feel free to tell us about it by using the form found here! If you are going out to conduct paranormal investigations in buildings or private lands, please have the owners permission.
Everyone have a great and safe Halloween!
Thanks ~Tom~

Among
the most daunting tasks of the paranormal investigator is sifting
through piles of video footage that comes to their attention. They
don’t want to waste their time, but they don’t want to miss
anything important either. So it’s hard to ignore anything
significant. And sometimes we run into something unusual that, real
or not, we choose to share and acquire some other opinions about it.
The
following video was brought to my attention by a friend. It’s
origins are unknown, but several signs point to it being a CGI video.
Nonetheless, it’s gripping enough to warrant a second or third
look. An unknown “creature” seems to discover it’s being
watched and attempts to duck behind a tree. And its movements are
intriguing. Let us know what you think.
What is
it? Or do you believe it’s computer generated?
Special
thanks to Jaime Febus and the Facebook group Beyond The XFiles for
bringing this video to my attention.
Update - Thanks to Ross Withers, we now know the origin of this clip. And as we suspected it is not real but from the 2012 movie Thale.
