Is This A Ghost, “Cloaking Bigfoot,” Or Something Else?

By Dorraine Fisher

Richard Stewart Taylor, a bigfoot researcher from Dallas, Texas got more than he expected as a result of a fairly routine trip to a Bigfoot Conference in Honobia, Oklahoma. Taylor is a semi-retired law enforcement officer and a registered mixed-blood member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He claims to have a spiritual connection with Sasquatch and says they have tried numerous times to “make contact" with him.

At the conference,  he met up with a group of men who were interested in his research. After their conversation, he agreed to take these men to an area near Honobia with which Taylor was very familiar.

Ghost Road
It seems ever town you go to has some type of scary monster or creepy ghost story to tell. I know here in my area there are several spooky tales about various locations. These areas often have a history of weird sightings or of odd things happening in them. Many times we don't know the full story as to why a certain area may have weird things going on.

Today, I want to share a story and a place I recently heard about, known as Ghost Road. It is located in Baltimore County Maryland. We all known Maryland has its share of weird tales, one of which is the Maryland Goatman.

Before I get into the whole story about this strange picture, let me tell you that I do know the people involved and the witness personally. I know the location and have been in this store many times. Now with that said I want to let you know upfront that I can not use the name of the store or the witness's real name. We always try to protect those who wish to remain anonymous.

Now, on with the story.

This was a very recent event and there seems to be some on going paranormal activity taking place. Today, I spoke with the witness, who was still shaken up by the whole experience, and got the details.

5 Ways To Remember Your Past Lives

By Dorraine Fisher

So, maybe you’ve decided that maybe your soul really is eternal and doesn’t die, and maybe you have lived before, perhaps many times throughout history. But what do you do with that information. Is there a benefit to exploring it? And if so, how do you go about it?

And some may ask if we really have lived before, why can’t we remember anything about our past lives? The answer is we can, but there may be a thousand years of history there and many of us can’t remember much of our time in THIS life that goes back more than 30 years. A lot is forgotten with the passage of time. But we have bursts or flashbacks or moments of deja vu in which our past lives come back, even if only for a moment or two. We also have karmic dreams in which we recall a past experience or place we’ve lived or visited. The trouble is, we don’t always know we’re recalling a past life and we don’t give it much thought. But our past lives are revealed to us more often than we think.

Can We Heal Ourselves With Energy From Sound?
Exploring The Ancient Concept of Chakras

By Dorraine Fisher

Have you ever heard new agers talking about the seven chakras and you promptly blew it off because you just don’t aspire to that “nonsense.” Well, we all need to rethink a lot of things and this is one of them. And I’ll tell you why and what it has to do with paranormal subjects.

Paranormal investigators understand energy in ways that other people don’t. That’s why I often say that they are advanced in many ways in their thinking. They have to think outside the box in order to go where the evidence leads them. They can’t have preconceived notions about the outcome.

Still frame from the video
What is this strange, almost human shaped, object in the sky? That is what many people are asking after seeing the video below.

Before we get to the actual video, let me tell you what is known about the clip. Reportedly this was filmed in Indonesia during what appears to be some type of riot, protest or a demonstration. The local people called it a Kuntilanak. A Kuntilanak in Indonesian mythology is a female vampiric spirit of a woman who died while pregnant. Another word used to describe this is Pontianak. Pontianaks are usually depicted as pale-skinned women with long black hair, red eyes, and white dress.

According to what I read about this folklore a Kuntilanak is a woman who died during childbirth. That the woman would come back to terrorize and take revenge on the towns people. The creature would or might look like a pretty woman and have a floral aroma. Then she would attack with claws and rip open peoples stomach.

Now, I'm not sure what this entity is, or even if it is an spirit of some sort. But it does appear to be odd and out of place with the events going on. Lets watch the video and then I will close with a few more thoughts.

Here is the video.

Is this a spirit haunting a cemetery?
The above photo and the other ones in the post were reportedly taken in a cemetery in Ohio. The photographs were supposedly taken by a funeral home employee. The images, to my understanding, were first posted on social media. Many seem to think this a ghost of some sort haunting the cemetery. You can see what looks like fog or smoke as it appears to arise up out of a grave.

Regardless of what it is, either paranormal or natural, it is still pretty creepy.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016


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.

Here is the episode.

Scary Apparition In Japanese WW2 Mine

There’s nothing like the long wars of our historic past to leave so many dead along with lingering spirits wandering aimlessly in these often downright creepy locations. And the mountains of Japan among the mine ruins of WW2 are at the top of the list of those locations.

Fearing serious radiation leaks in an old WW2 mine, Japanese engineers sought out to investigate a mine near several leaking reactors. But as they videotaped the investigation, they got more than they bargained for. Their cameras started to malfunction as they entered the lower tunnels and electronic voice phenomenon (EVP’s) can be heard on the sound recordings and is said to be saying “I will kill you” in Japanese. The deepest part of this tunnel is said to be approximately 1500 feet deep into the mountain and can be accessed by steps or wooden slides, as you’ll see in this clip. And a very clear ghost/ apparition of a shirtless man appears in front of them. 

Tell us what you think. Real or fake?

Watch the lady standing with her arms crossed...where did she go?
During a live broadcast a woman seemingly vanishes. Some have speculated that the woman was really a ghost or maybe even an alien. Some suggest that she just happens to be moving with and behind the lady pushing the cart. But I can't see how she would be walking behind the cart pusher as there appears to be a table in the way.

It is still a pretty cool clip, even if the lady is actually walking behind the cart pusher.

What do you guys think? is it paranormal activity or she is just blocked from being seen?

Update- one thing I seem to notice in the above clip. There is a reflection in the silver canister on the left. You can see the cart pusher but I don't see the vanishing lady. I would assume I would be able to see the vanishing lady also walking in the reflection if she was walking right beside cart pusher lady. So, still kind of weird.  Also I don't see a shadow on the floor ...could be an angle thing again.

You never know what kind of item you might find up for sell on ebay. If you like haunted items and ghost then this auction might be for you.

Haunted Possessed doll Auction!

Here is what is said about the doll:

"As the title says, this is not a joke. Now we are not saying that this is an evil doll that her head is going to spin around and vomit pea soup. But at least 8 - 9 times in the past year, we have come into our store to find her somewhere other than the shelf she belongs on. Usually in the middle of an aisle in a part of the store where she doesn't belong. And even one day manage to fall (jump) off the shelf in the middle of the day. Which is a pretty big thing being that our shelves are 18" deep and she leans up against the wall. The last two times happened one day apart just a few days back. My wife and I arrived to open the store in the morning, there the doll was again, laying on the floor in the doorway. We got into an all day long discussion of how often one of us finds her on the floor to return her back on her shelf. Did not realize the other finds her out of place just as much. So that night we decided to bury her under a pile of other dolls so there would be no mistaking where she should be come morning. The next morning I arrived alone and walking past the doll shelf I noticed one of the dolls we placed on top was almost falling off the shelf. To my amazement "The Doll " wasn't on the shelf. It almost looked like she pushed her way out. At this point I'm totally freaked out and start looking for her. It didn't take me long to find her, I found her laying on the cash register. The register was turned on with the numbers 6913. I always shut off my register at night. You can believe or not but I no longer want the doll and do not want her back. No returns."


So, if you feel like a little danger in your life, Click here and buy this Doll!



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 CemeteryGrandview 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

Ghost Nuns?
I was just surfing around the internet, looking at stuff that I find interesting ....you know stuff like Bigfoot, Ghost, UFOS....ect.  I happened to run across this old picture and here is what was stated about it.

A photograph showing a group of girls sitting on a grassy mound. On the left side a group of miniature figures of nuns can be seen walking through the grass. The figures were not visible when the photograph had been taken.Photograph taken in 1961 and was given to Rosalind Heywood a Society for Psychical Research Council Member. No Copyright for the photograph exists. The photograph was later reprinted in the book Investigating The Paranormal by Tony Cornell in 2002. Author Mr. M. B

While most of us probably think this is nothing more than a double exposure, I still find it appealing. I guess it has a little to do with the fact I like old photography and then you add in the ghost element.  Plus I can't recall ever seeing this picture before.

In any case, I thought I would just play around with the photo and run it through some filters/effects. I guess I may as well share them....so here they are.



Just a slight adjustment in contrast to bring out the figures a little more.


A crop of the mysterious figures.


 I inverted the picture. The figures stand out. 


With this filter I don't think the figures look like Nuns at all. It looks more like rain coats. The figure on the far right looks more like a KKK member.




Now, what to you think about the photo? Is it a double exposure? Paper cut outs? Shadows? reflections?
Your guess is as good as mine. We do know that back in the late 1800's  and early 1900's that Spirit photography was a big deal and that a lot of pictures from that time period have been exposed as fakes. I know you guys remember the old Ectoplasm photos from back then. What was said to be "spirit energy" turned out to be nothing more the cheese cloth, material or tissue . Here is a photo to jar your memory.
  
Even knowing many of these old pictures where fakes, I still enjoy looking at them. It gives me a glimpse of the past and helps me realize that people were basically the same back then as they are now. The mysteries of our world keeps searching for answers.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks

Report of recent Banshee Sighting
Banshee Sighting!

NEW Banshee Sighting Report

I just got in a report of a possible Banshee sighting in Ireland. Here is the report with some information after it.

- Start Report -
Name: Emily  *****
Email Address: Withheld but on record
State: Not in America. The Republic of Ireland
County: Clare
Date of Sighting: 03/06/2014
Time of Day: Roughly 2am-3am
Nearest Town: Inagh
Length of Sighting: 1 hour
How many Witnesses: Only Me
Any Photos/Videos: No
Describe sighting in detail:
I'm not sure if you guys do anything paranormal outside of the USA especially not BigFoot related but I have quite an experience here in Ireland with what I believe to be a Banshee. They are a typical folk monster here and I personally thought them to be legends and old stories but last Tuesday I had an encounter that can only be explained by that.

If you guys don't know what a Banshee is, to roughly explain it they are a creature/spirit that is assigned to families. Some people view them as good things some as bad. They are said to be heard crying/screaming when someone in your family is about to die as a form of mourning.

I live in a small farmhouse in a pretty rural area of Ireland, which isn't saying much as most of Ireland is rural anyway. I heard what sounded like at first the screaming sound that cats make when they have a stand off. But it slowly started to transform into a contestant ringing scream coming from the distance. It was coming from a field next to me which is locally nick-named "the far bog" as it is just that. A bog/marsh that is far away from anything in particular.

I panicked and thought that someone had gotten stuck in the bog which is actually a common way of death here sadly, so I called the Guards (The Irish Police) and ran outside to try and find her. When I got to the bog I saw a woman standing upright on a stone wall that borders the bog. She had her head tilted upwards and was screaming so loudly that it actually caused some pain. She appeared to be wearing a flowing dress of some sort. This freaked me out as I presumed it was some drugged up/drunk person and I ran back inside and waited for the guards to come.

A single patrol car came up a few minutes later but the screaming had stopped by then. I explained to them exactly what had happened and they were actually the first to mention the possibility that it was a Banshee. They mentioned that this sort of call happens every few years. They officially wrote it down as a drunk and disorderly person on private property who left but then told me to call all of my immediate family to make sure everything is ok, as they both believed it was a Banshee. I did just that and sadly found out that my Mother had passed away in her sleep that night. The funeral was a few days ago and since then I have been transfixed by the story of the Banshee and have looked up as much information as I can. In the progress I came across your paranormal site. I thought that you guys might be at least slightly interested in my story. You can email  me at any time if you ever want any more information.
Thanks
Emily

UPDATE - I ask Emily for some photos of the area and she sent me the following. Thanks Emily.

...

- End Report -

First, I would like to send my condolences to Emily and her family over the loss of their mother.

Here is some information about the Banshee.
The banshee, is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the underworld.

In legend, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die. In Scottish Gaelic mythology, she is known as the bean sìth or bean-night and is seen washing the bloodstained clothes or armor of those who are about to die.

In legend, a banshee wails nearby when someone is about to die. There are some special families who are believed to have banshees attached to them, and whose cries herald the death of a member of that family. Most, though not all, surnames associated with banshees have the Ó or Mac prefix. They were also associated with the Airlie clan. Accounts of banshees go back as far as 1380.

Stories of banshees can also be found in America in the late 18th century. The most prevalent of the American stories comes from Tar River in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. However, in this variation of the story, the banshee is simply a ghoul, as opposed to a sign of misfortune.

In the badlands of South Dakota, a banshee is said to wail upon a hill near Watch Dog Butte. Like other American tales of banshees, this legend does not connect her to any particular death.

Regardless of the location or the background story about the origins or purpose of a Banshee, it seems to be a very frightening event.

A thanks goes to Emily for sending us her report about the event. We hope to have an update to this story.
If anyone else has encountered something like this, please contact us via the Report a Sighting Link.

Thanks
~Tom~

scary ghost hands touch woman
Ghost hands (Re-creation)


This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew. Over 20 years experience with research and investigation of unexplained activity, working with video and websites. A trained wild land firefighter and a published photographer, and poet.


After posting the ghost dragging a man article, we received a report about ghost type hands touching a woman while she slept.

Here is what Khristey told us.

"Ok, so I had been seeing weird stuff in my apartment. I lived in an old school building in Sciotoville, OH called Linsey, I think that was the name of it.  I was in a basement apartment and I wasn't the only one who seen stuff weird stuff happen there. Some of the strange stuff was like things moving, things going missing and we seen what seemed like kids playing at night beside the building.

Well my sister-in-law tried to expel what we thought might have been a bad spirit, the lights were off and she had a candle lit in front of her. Then, I seen the strangest thing ever, it looked evil but also looked like a part of her, kinda looked like a mirror effect like a demon leaning out of her. It was kinda a reddish color and she stepped out side and came back in and poured salt everywhere, while mumbling. The reason she did this was because I had been feeling like I was being violated. It felt like someone rubbing my whole body and I was not being able to move. I would wake up in the middle of the night with this going on and sometimes it would happen when I had just laid down. I guess that could be called an attack in a way. I kept ending up with scratches and red marks on my body."


Rubbing and leaving red marks and scratches on your body, I would say that is considered an attack.
Thanks goes to Khristey for sharing her experience with everyone. I know there are others out there that have had similar things happen, please feel free to share your story with us. You can use THIS LINK to submit it.

Thanks

We recently took a trip to ride the train at Big South Fork Railway in Stearns, Ky.
We captured a strange orb like thing on two different cameras and I wanted to share the video.


It was about a 2 hour train ride. This was an old mining camp and at one point you go into a very small tunnel. We captured something just as we were going into the tunnel. Could it be a ghost orb from some long dead miner or railroad worker or is it just a bug? I really can't say for sure but wanted to share the video.
Thanks

On 4/22/2007 the fire department was dispatched to a local pizza shop with a reported fire.
Sure enough the pizza shop was on fire. Someone snapped a photo.

Pizza shop on fire.
If you will notice it appears to be ghostly looking figure walking behind the van on the left.

Here is a couple enhancements of the photo



Could this be ghostly images of victims of the fire? or is it just some kind of camera error?
I don't know if anyone even died in the fire or not but it does appear to be legs walking behind the van. I also do not know where this photo was taken.
What do you think?

Thanks

Large Orb at the tree
This report was sent to us a couple days ago. Here is what is on record.

Name: Kayleigh
State: TX
Date of Sighting: April 9, 2013
Time of Day: 11:30 PM
Nearest Town: Fort Worth
Length of Sighting: 2 minutes
How many Witnesses: 1 (me)
Any Photos/Videos: Yes!
Describe sighting in detail: I found a big gecko on the back porch so I grabbed my camera to take a pic. I felt this urge to take a picture of the open field we have next to our house. So I did and the first picture I took I found a bright orb by the base of a tree and right after I took the picture, my camera battery started to drain and eventually died after about a minute.

Here is a zoom in on the orb

So could be be a ghost orb or some reflection of some kind.
Thanks goes to  Kayleigh for sharing the story and photo.

Thanks
~Tom~
