Up until the late 1980s, the Wyricks were a normal family. They were tight-knit, loving and dealt with the standard worries of any young family. But all that changed when they moved into their first purchased home on Swint Loop in Harris County, Georgia. It was here that things began to spiral out of control when the couple's eldest daughter, Heidi, began speaking with imaginary friends and being...

But digging a little deeper you will discover that inside these four walls, some of the most horrific crimes occurred, and that serial slayers once called these buildings 'home'. In today's video, we'll be exploring some no...

Tonight’s terrifying tale comes from the small market town of Pontefract, situated in West Yorkshire, England. Some of you may have heard this story, others may be new to the legend that is 30 East Drive, and to The Black Monk myth; an insidious entity that terrorised the young, innocent family who lived at the residence in the 1960’s. So, what happened inside the walls of this seemingly normal ho...

On Friday 10th August 2018 there were plenty of news stories around the world making headlines, but in the maelstrom of the Trump presidency perhaps one of the biggest was something that happened in Seattle that despite being one of the strangest, scariest, most bizarre events of 2018 pretty much slipped under the radar especially outside of America. In this video we look at the extraordinary even...

The story in this video was sent in by Todd, who, between 1989 and 1994, worked on the ramp for Delta Airlines at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

Just a bit of background on that crash; flight 401 was a scheduled flight from JFK, New Yor...

Pluckley is surrounded by beautiful countryside, orchards, and grazing sheep. No one would believe that the village has a much darker side, but with reports of terrifying shadow figures, sorrowful apparitions and strange sightings is it any wonder that Pluckley was once named in the Guinness Book of Records as the ‘most haunted village in Britain’. Decades ago the resident parish priest held a num...

It would certainly be naïve of us to believe that every video, photograph or Instagram post contains evidence of the supernatural and that of a possible afterlife. There are countless stories which are emphasised or indeed ‘made up’ to scare our friends, family or subscribers and to teach our children that there are consequences to their actions through fear of fictitious entities that supposedly...

In February 1891, adverts started appearing in newspapers papers about “Ouija, the Wonderful Talking Board,” describing it as a magical device that answered questions “about the past, present and future with marvellous accuracy” and promised a link “between the known and unknown, the material and immaterial.” The mysterious talking board was marketed as a family board game. However, it soon became...
