Disappearing vehicles

I believe you. I've had this happen to me on a few occasions, mostly at night. I always put it up to my imagination but when it happened on a deserted road late at night, they are there one minute an…More

None

In the spring of 2003, I was watching a Roman Catholic exorcism video in preparation for a class on world religions. My wife was at work, my two oldest children were downstairs watching TV, and my 18…More

Haunting of Kanaka Pete, Axe Murderer

This is not the first time I have heard about things like this coming from Newcastle Island. There is a lot of paranormal stuff going on over there. I just read there may be some video of what has be…More

Patterson-Gimlin Film: A New Tall Tale

Oh, my...didn't get to the meat - I mean, the 'pink slime' - of this article. There was much more than "3 creatures" filmed. This 'tall tale" is known as the massacre theory. It originated 4 years ag…More

Window into Another Dimension

While you thought you were awake, you may have still be in a Dream State. What was decribed sounded like Alien Research or Something awful like that. I do believe in Alien Abduction and the like, so …More

Black eyed man that wasn't there

Wow! I've heard and read other stories of black eyed people and i have to say, it freaks me out and is scary. Who are they? What do they want? I could not have been as brave in that situation. I've f…More

Window to Another Dimension

This sounds like sleep paralysis - not a paranormal occurrence but a physiological one. You can read about it on wiki, it's accompanied by this sort of vivid and terrifying hallucinations. ..........…More

Disappearing Vehicles

Hi Mike,Great story. I live in Texas and saw a vehicle disappear in front of me. I would have thought I was going crazy except my brother who was sitting in the passenger seat next to me looked at me…More

Patterson-Gimlin Film: A New Tall Tale

I don't believe it. If other Big Foots had been shot the one in the film would have run like hell. Which it didn't. It just sauntered off. While there are obviously hoaxes about any number of things,…More

patterson gimlin: a new tall tale

wow, loren coleman, the director of cryptozoologist museum sure is close minded about certain things. he's dismissed the story out of hand. i would imagine he never even made a phone call to investig…More

Dissappearing phone and Phantom call

I do believe to this kind of paranormal situation.because I myself have had experienced of it..as what I saw on TV shows,research it's not a Ghosts who make all those confusing situation but a Creatu…More

Sleep walking

No. I think it is much more likely that your sister is sleep walking. It explains the dead voice, the blank look and especially the orange highlighter. It explains her having no memory of any of this…More

The Killing of Bigfoot

Sorry, I don't buy this one. Back in the late 1960's and early 70's there were no laws protecting Bigfoot. If someone had a Bigfoot (dead or alive) he would have made a fortune by either selling the …More

Kanaka Pete, Axe Murderer

I'm a camper, so I loved this story...BUT I have to wonder, the Scooby Doo fan in me, and the reader of creepy real life tales, if maybe the screaming and demonic sounds you heard on the other side o…More

Nova Scotia Poltergeist

Very chilling story. Reminds me of my ex-wifes night time episodes of preparing feasts for guests, or not knowing who I was. What chills me most about this story is the nonchalance of which a spirit …More

Guardian Angel or Higher Power Watches over me

I actually had goosebumps when I got to the end of this story which is most unusual for me as I am skeptical about all things.. except the story you told of the car accident is almost word for word t…More

Time Lost in the Pyrenees

A perfect example of entering a time warp, where the people entered another time in those mountains and were lost on unfamiliar roads. Luckily the dark road they drove on turned out to be a portal to…More

Patterson-Gimlin Film

Variations on this wild fantasy have circulated for a few years now, often called the "Bluff Creek Massacre" story. Pure fiction.The title of this piece is spot on. But this article is the "tall tale…More

Death bed story

I worked for a hospice for several years. One event, that was a very common occurance, was that as people were getting closer to their own death they would began to talk about being visited by friend…More

Patterson-Gimlin Film: A New Tall Tale

Although this story seems pretty cool, it reminds me of a lot of the Creepypasta stories that have been circulating around the internet. A very "Lost Episode" type of story to make you believe that s…More
