kyoto prefecture it's set to be 444 meters long equivalent to about 1000 456 feet with for being a suspicious and unlucky number in Japanese tradition however it's set to varying lengths depending on the time of day sometimes longer and sometimes shorter furthermore it's said to have a particular mirror inside if you look into this mirror you will glimpse a vision of your own death number 7 10 Oh May this creature was the inspiration for one of the most memorable creatures in the 2006 fantasy drama Pan's Labyrinth the pale man however this hideous creature comes straight from Japanese lore and is 10 oh man his name means hand eyes or eyes on hand and the legend says that a blind old man was beaten to death by hoodlums as he lay dying he wished that he had seen them to know who they were

loud something terrible will happen to the reader ranging in severity from illness injury misfortune or death most online versions of the poem are spoken via text-to-speech software no word on if it's considered safe to read the translation aloud even in the digital age it's stories like this one that feel the most powerful because well why take the risk number 5 gozu or cow head this the snake woman urban legend also deals with cursed literature allegedly discovered in the 17th century it's said to be the scariest story ever written and that anyone who reads it will die of fright there are multiple accounts of the story from this era but only in reference of its notoriety and that it's too awful to repeat according to the legend most of the copies were destroyed but some fragments

ghosts there's hanako-san who haunts school bathrooms and kashi morocco but they say after you hear the full story she'll appear to you after a month so let's leave this be but of all the bathroom bogeys this one is the worst acha or Almonte Oh usually haunts the last stall in a public bathroom if you use it a voice will ask you if you want the red or the blue paper the results vary but a common version goes like this say red it slices the back of your neck say blue they choke you to death to survive the murderous ghost decline either option do not ask for a different color as the ghost will send you to the netherworld [Applause] number two take a ticket this Japanese urban legend tells of a young girl who's hit by a train on her way home from school cut in half she now haunts places like railroad crossings and schools she crawls around on claw-like hands sharpened to the bone from years of dragging which now make the tell-tale teka teka sound however it sounds a bit like an oncoming train so you can't be quite sure when she's near angry and vengeful she chases those waiting around too long if she catches you she will cut you in half to make you like her and if you think you can outrun her bad news she's super fast before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions Oh [Music] number one kuchisake-onna or the slip mouth woman this one is the most disturbing because it feels like she really could be walking around near you and you'd never know the tale dates all the way back to the 8o period once very beautiful this woman was horribly disfigured when her mouth was slit from ear to ear she covers her face traditionally with a scarf and sometimes with a medical mask a vengeful spirit she stops unsuspecting victims and asks if they think she's pretty do you think thank Freddie if they answer no she either shows them her mouth and then slits their face with scissors or wait for them to go home and savagely kills them if yes she

Top 10 REAL Haunted Towns That Are Pure Evil

Top 10 REAL Haunted Towns That Are Pure Evil

 at number 10 we have Garnet Montana USA  if I ever go to Montana I'm gonna stick  to eating steaks and walking around to  the mountains I think I'd rather run  into a full-grown Grizzly before I would  end up in a town filled with ghosts well  actually no if I run into a ghost the  worst thing that would happen is maybe  it would scare me so bad I would leave a  hot dookie in my fresh jeans but a  Grizzly would literally Scary Ghost Sightings turn me into hot  dookie if you want to run into the ghost  of an old miner this is probably the  best place you can go visit Garner  Montana was built up during the gold  rush and men from all over the land with  bigger dreams than brains would travel  here to try and strike it rich finding  some shiny rocks well we all know that  eventually the Gold Rush dried up and  granite Montana didn't have much to  offer after that now it's abandoned  unless you count for the various Spirits  living at the residence I had said that  at certain times of day you can hear a  ghost play the piano which is probably  the friendliest thing a spooky ghost can  do oh a ghost is like oh people are  coming I better play them a good tune so  they know I'm not to be be trifled with  and it's a hot spot for ghost lovers  from all over the MOST MYSTERIOUS PHOTOS world an average of 16  000 people a year come to check this  place out someone should take a  recording of that ghost piano song So  Ariana Grande can mix it up and make a  cool Halloween tune over it at number  nine we have Hashima Hashima is an  island off the coast of Japan that used  to be one of the most densely populated  places on the planet in the mid to late  1900s it's thought that there were over  5 000 people living per square kilometer  the island was a hot spot because of the  major underwater Coal Mine nothing like  living next to a coal mine to really  strengthen your lungs it was a booming  place until 1974 when the coal mine was  gone after that people started to leave  the island in troves now the entire  place is deserted and there's just a  shell of a city it's almost scary to  look at like it resembles something out  of an Apocalypse movie for years it was  forbidden for people to visit the island  but now you can do tours in select areas  the ghost stories is go deep as well my  favorite is of a little girl dressed all  in white who stands on the beach no one  knows what she's looking for but people  think that her family abandoned her on  the island because they couldn't afford  to raise her now her ghost Waits on the  shore for a family to come back that is  sad  dle the story of  I've never meet between the years of  1945 and 1955 this place was a labor  camp so if you were arrested back then  they might send you up to this place to  work in a mine now what was in this mine  uranium and what is uranium radioactive  and what do radioactive things do to  human cells well they rip them apart and  you die one of the most painful deaths  imaginable it's thought that over four  hundred thousand prisoners died at this  Camp from the terrible conditions  working in the mine would literally cut  your life expectancy down two months and  the land was previously WORLD URBAN LEGENDS thought to be  cursed when it was originally found by  nomadic tribes the herd of deer died  from eating the grass there we now know  that was uranium poisoning now it's said  that the place is plagued by the  thousands of souls who experienced  horrible slow radiation sickness deaths  the town is now shut down and you could  go there if you want to die in a few  months but I would probably stay away at  number seven we have Bodhi California  USA when we're talking about ghost towns  you can bet we're going to cover a lot  of places that used to be packed with  shiny rocks especially in America if you  were in the USA back in the 1800s and  you weren't trying to dig up a bunch of  rocks then what were you doing you're a  huge nerd what did you spend your time  trying to figure out a cure for smallpox  get out of here you dork well Bodhi is a  big time Gold Rush town it's estimated  in the late 1800s Bode was the second  largest town in all of California with  ghost town on Earth around 7 000 people it really didn't  take a lot to be a metropolis back then  you just needed a well a good Saloon and  then you were set the gold deposit was  found by the patriarch of the Bodhi  family he didn't get to enjoy his  findings though because he died in a  blizzard not long after his family built  the town and then named it after him it  said that his ghost still haunts the  land probably because he's so salty he  never got to get rich and fat off his  findings you can visit this town it's  known as one of the best preserved ghost  towns in all of America because of the  dry climate the buildings are in great  shape and number six we have put land  France this ghost town is the site of  one of the many horrible acts carried  out by the Nazis in 1944 everyone in the  town was forced into buildings by 90  troops these buildings were then set on  fire and anyone who tried to run for  safety was shot out of the several  hundred people who lived here only seven  people survived how did they do this  well they had to cover themselves in the  dead bodies of their friends and family  now the town has never been repaired it  stands as a symbol to remember those who  lost their lives in the brutal attacks  by the Nazis and paranormal  investigators have visited the site and  they say it's plagued with tormented  Spirits if you know anything about World  War II history you know that this isn't  even scratching the surface when it  comes to the horrific crimes committed  by the Nazis at number five we have pure  mintan Russia this place used to be the  most northern coal mine in the world and  even though it's cold as hell there and  only a thousand people live there it was  still an area under constant development  there was a hospital schools and a  Recreation Center built for all the  people who lived there throughout the  80s and early 90s it was thought this  town would continue to grow and  eventually become a winter hot spot but  the mine eventually dried up in the late  90s and everyone had to pack up and take  off the town was completely abandoned  until the late 2000s when tourists  started heading up there to bring a  little more life to the area now there's  20 residents who live there only in the  summertime to work at the town's only  Hotel this place isn't really high in my  lists of must visits I think I'm gonna  hit up Turks and Caicos and get drunk on  a beach before it freeze my toes off and  a former coal mining town also if you do  plan on visiting this winter wonderland  the only hotel in town is said to be  haunted strange noises can be heard at  night and a tall black figure has been  said to walk around the perimeter of the  building at number four we have Pell  Town Ohio USA what a wonderful name I  heard they have an amazing cotton candy  store and none of the schools have  demons in them well hell town is a focal  point of many conspiracy theories the  land was bought by the government years  ago and all the people living there were  told to leave speculation has this  happened because it was a chemical spill  and the government didn't want to admit  their massive screw-up now the town is  left untouched but there are rumors that  there is a giant mutated Beast created  by the chemical spill that walks around  the area not really haunted but a giant  monster is in the same vein at number  three we have Crypt yet Ukraine if you  guys are part of the most amazing top 10  family then you probably know I put this  place on a lot of lists but it's hard to  pass it up Crypt is the closest city to  the Chernobyl nuclear plant and it's no  wonder why it's a ghost town turns out  people don't like dying in a radiated  death the disaster happened back on  April 26 1986 and it wasn't long after  that that everyone started running in  the opposite direction now vegetation  has taken over most of the town but  there are a few residents who have  returned but why is it haunted well  there is the black crow of Chernobyl  also called the black demon Wing  creature and many other names it said  that this thing was seen on the day of  the explosion and some people believe  that the demon himself caused the  reactor to explode now the Beast stops  the land waiting for I guess another  Power Plant to be built I don't know  what it wants at number two we have Port  Arthur Tasmania there are a few places  in history that you can call hell on on  Earth but this is definitely one of them  Port Arthur was once the site of a  brutal English prison the worst  criminals in Britain were exiled to this  island and it wasn't anything like  getting sent to Club Med I can promise  you there wasn't a mojito in sight the  British government would practice  psychological experiments on the inmates  and this was back in the 1800s so you  can only imagine lobotomies and other  horrific practices were performed there  the living conditions were so horrible  that inmates would kill each other so  they could get the death penalty I mean  you could cut out the middleman and just  kill yourself but to each his own I  guess now you can go on tours through  the abandoned prison and I don't think I  need to explain to you why this place is  haunted and number one on our list is  pobaglia Italy for our number one spot  we've picked a place that has centuries  of grotesque history to go along with it  in the mid-12th century This Island was  used as a place to dump people who were  dying from the plague thousands of  bodies were burned on this island and  going to the the island was non-optional  if it was suspected that you had the  Black Death they sent you and you stayed  there until you suffered to death from  this horrible sickness after all this  plagueness was done it was a pretty  chill spot until 1922 when a mental  institution was built on the island it  said that the head doctor would perform  terrible experiments on all the people  he later went mad and killed himself the  shell of the institution still stands  and you can go visit it if you want also  fun fact about the island it's said to  be very haunted and there were so many  people burned on the island that the  soil is 50 human remains but that's  probably just an urban legend who knows  starting off at number 10 the Shanghai  Tunnels in Portland Oregon Portland was  one of the most dangerous ports in the  United States during the early 19th  century and it was the epicenter of  shanghang a form of human trafficking  it's crazy to think human trafficking  still happens today and tunnels are  still the way to do it according to the  local lore swinders preyed upon  unsuspected men in the local salons  which were often outfitted with trap  doors that deposited the victims  directly into a network of underground  tunnels these men were supposedly held  captive to drugged and eventually  transported to the Waterfront where they  were sold to ships as unpaid laborers  some worked for several years before  finding their way back home the tunnels  were said to be haunted by the aggrieved  spirits of the captives who died in the  dark recesses behind the city random  facts the practice of kidnapping men to  work on ships came to be known as Shang  Hing a piece of ships that were sold to  were often headed to East Asia number  nine Eastern State Penitentiary  Philadelphia Pennsylvania the  castle-like Eastern State Penitentiary  took solidary confinement to whole new  levels when it was built in 1829  prisoners lived alone exercised alone  and ate alone when inmates were left in  a Cell a guard would cover his head with  a hood so he wouldn't be seen the prison  had to abandon itself to her confinement  system due to overcrowding from 1913  until it was closed in 1970. all the  forms of punishment did not get any less  severe I mean chaining an inmate's  tongue to his wrists that's just one  example a true story the site's one of  most haunted places in America's right  now will welcome thousands of visitors  every year both for its museums and  annual Terror Behind the wall  celebration which features six haunted  attractions within the Prison Walls for  Halloween I mean when you talk about  attraction inside of a prison  um no thanks well it was reported  paranormal happenings have included  dismembered laughter shadowy figures and  pacing of footsteps I'm sorry I thought  I was hearing footsteps behind me right  now okay I'm pretty freaked up with this  one so let's move on to the next one so  next up number eight we have House of  the Seven Gables Salem Massachusetts now  this house did not steal its name from  the classic novel in fact it inspired  the novel itself Salem is known for its  history of the famous Witch Trials and  that's where Sabrina Spellman lived but  it happens to be the birthplace of  Nathaniel Hawthorne who used this 17th  century house as inspiration for his  famous 1851 novel The House of the Seven  Gables aside from its beautiful yet  spooky facade the house is surrounded by  paranormal activity and ghost sightings  all based on personal experiences of  Staff every October the house offers  spooky tours as well as weekly  performances of two plays the legacy of  the hanging judge and spirit of the  gables would you guys see a play in a  haunted Town's haunted house coming in  hot at number seven on this list the  Stanley Hotel in Estes Park if you've  read or seen The Shining you know the  feeling of this often snowbound Hotel  it's the location Stephen King based his  overlooked Hotel upon it may not look  like the film unless you watch the 1990s  made for TV movie version which uh yeah  I don't think anyone has I mean just  walking to your room it can drain you so  one stiff drink might have you seeing  ghosts or a couple kids chanting Red Rom  Redrum number six we're bringing you Red  Onion Saloon Skagway Alaska established  in 1898 as a brothel for miners during  the Klondike Gold Rush Alaska's Red  Onion Saloon it had a feature that set  it apart from other bordellos it used  dolls to help run its business so always  a good sign right well every day 10  dolls will be placed on the bar  downstairs each one representing one of  the ladies working in the upstairs room  a customer would choose one of the Dolls  at which point it would lay down on the  bar to indicate that particular workers  were occupied when the customers came  back downstairs the doll would be  returned to her sitting position to let  other potential clients know that she  was available we'll fast forward to 2019  when the Red Onion Saloon still operates  as a bar and restaurant yet the dolls  are still on display and it offers tours  of the upstairs rooms which are  preserved as sort of like a mixed-shaped  brothel Museum as if these dolls weren't  creepy enough there were reports of  Lydia a former Madame of a brothel  haunting the site complete with cold  spots and lingering spells of perfume  rafting through the walls I mean all  creepiness aside I'm more curious about  how this place got named Red Onion I  mean they could have came up with any  other name well let me know what you  guys would call this in the comment  section below give me a name over  halfway on this list number five we got  RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach California  this retired ocean liner sailed to the  Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967. during  the first three years at Sea the Queen  Mary carried Hollywood celebrities like  Elizabeth Taylor her days as a luxurious  ship were short-lived in 1939 she was  stripped of her amenities and began her  second life as a gray ghost a World War  II troop ship at the conclusion of the  War she was restored to her former glory  and traversed the Atlantic for nearly  two more decades on Halloween 1967 the  Queen Mary departed on her last Cruise  eventually docking in Long Beach  California her final resting place the  ship is reportedly haunted by the  spirits of those who died aboard such as  the young sailor who has crushed to  death by a door in the engine room and a  crew member who was in cabin  b-340 number four Lizzie Borden bed and  breakfast in Fall of river so this  location came up on nearly every surge  on our quest to find this top 10 list  for you guys well you've likely heard of  the children's rhyme Lizzie Borden Took  an Ax gave it to her mother 40 whacks  when she saw what she had done she gave  her father 41. well you can not only  visit the scene of that famous 1892  double homicide you can also sleep at  the Borden's home eat their last meal  old Johnny cakes a thick cornmeal  pancakes and eggs in case you're  wondering and spend the last nights in  the bedroom where the bodies of Lizzie's  stepmother Abigail was found someone who  stayed there said I can attest this home  painstakingly furnished to look exactly  as it did on the morning of them well  that will creep you right out better  though the 175 year old property hosts  up to 20 overnight guests in which some  of them for some reason it's a tradition  when he goes to this place they will  actually whip out a Ouija board I mean  I'm not down for Ouija that is a real  life situation that can happen and let  alone whipping out a Ouija board in a  haunted place finally down to number  three on this list we have Crescent  Hotel Erica Springs Arkansas since its  construction to 1886 the Crescent Hotel  has served several purposes Luxury  Resorts Conservatory for young women  junior college but the strangest mark on  its history came in 1937 when he got a  new owner Norman G Baker Baker was a  millionaire inventor who decided to pose  as a doctor despite having no medical  training and turned the hotel into a  hospital that can cure cancer well he  was eventually found out and he was ran  out of town although Reports say that  his spirits found its way back to the  site and found some other wordedly  company too the now operating Crescent  Hotel is said to be haunted by at least  eight ghosts ranging from a  five-year-old girl to a bearded man  wearing a Victorian clothing one ghost  is enough for me never mind eight of  them and children ghosts I think those  are the absolute scariest kind and  number one we have trans Allegany  Lunatic Asylum Western Virginia this  foreboding Asylum began contraction in  1858 and opened to patients in 1864. the  massive structure was designed by  architect Richard Andrews to maximize  sunlight and fresh air it was believed  that the building itself would serve as  a healing environment it was designed  for 250 people housed at 2400 patients  in crowded conditions I mean that's a  pretty big range going from 250 to 2400.  patients were physically restrained and  often given inhumane treatments such as  the electroshock therapy and lobotomies  which was very popular back in the day  after more than a century in operation  the facility was forced to close in 94  which when you think about it wasn't too  long ago within the last 30 years and it  was due to the reforms and mental health  and treatment and the deterioration of  the building hundreds of patients died  during the Asylum tenure and scores of  guests and Ghost Hunters have claimed  they're seeing shadowy figures roaming  around the facility at number nine we  have the Fairmont Hotel in Banff Canada  if you have never been to Banff it is  one of the most beautiful places in the  whole world there's amazing skiing in  the winter and in the summer it turns  into a lush green Wonderland if you were  a ghost this would be a paradise to hunt  the Fairmont sits on top of a mountain  that looks so Regal it could double as  The Grand Budapest Hotel it was built in  1888 and it was the center point to  increase tourism in the area and it  worked but like any old building this  place has adopted some guests that  refused to check out there are two  ghosts that are responsible for the  majority of the ghost sightings one  being that of an old bellhop he was the  employee of the hotel back in the 70s  and after he kicked the bucket he  decided that retirement wasn't for him  his ghost has been seen throughout the  hotel helping people to this day very  few people get to do what they love why  let a little thing like death stop you  from sticking to your passion another  ghost is that of the Bride dressed all  in white The Story Goes that she tripped  down a staircase on the day of her  wedding and met a grim ending that is a  huge bummer you're about to make it to  the Altar and you lose your footing oh  that sucks I number eight we have the  chenoi church in Beijing China an old  mysterious building that sits in Beijing  China there are several elements to this  building that make it an intriguing  place for anyone interested in the  Supernatural first no one knows who  built the building or who commissioned  the building to be built almost as if an  outside force created the building like  the devil came to town and was like yeah  let's build a church also on the front  door of the building there is a note  that makes it very clear that there are  no ghosts inside which is super sus like  where I live there's no note about  ghosts because it's just a given we know  there's no ghosts this place uses the  used car salesman approach to convincing  people yeah that rickety noise in the  back oh that's just something the car  makes it's an added feature the  residence is haunted by the ghost of a  young woman who killed herself by hang  during the Communist War in China some  say she did this because her husband was  killed at War and others say she was  trying to avoid capture and number six  we have La Chateau de brisak France we  are heading all over the world with this  list and now we're heading to a place  that has a long Rich history France it  makes sense to waltz right into a castle  besides being one of the most glorious  buildings in all of France an exciting  reason to visit this place is the  spectral tourist attraction back during  the reign of King Charles VII he was  married to a beautiful woman who he  unfortunately found out was cheating on  him he wasn't too happy with this so he  divorced her and that was that I'm just  kidding it was the 1400s he also had her  killed for insulting his honor that's  how they did things back then when her  life ended she was wearing a green dress  now it said you can see the ghost of a  woman in a green dress Walking The Halls  moaning for her lost love at number five  we have Morgan house Callum pong India  the estate formerly owned by the Morgans  has a rather dark pass the house was  lived in by Baron George Morgan and his  wife back in the 1930s apparently Mr  Morgan would spend a lot of his free  time torturing his wife with them being  in India and his wife having nowhere to  go she eventually fell into a depression  not long after that she died the two  never had any kids and after Mr Morgan  died the Indian government took control  of the property it has now been spruced  up into a nice hotel but the tares of  this building's past haven't been washed  away Mrs Morgan is free from her husband  and has no interest in leaving her home  many patrons of the hotel say they have  heard her high heels walking along the  wooden floors at number four we have  Castle Loma Toronto Canada the most  famously haunted place in all of Toronto  it's literally a massive castle that is  a 10 minute drive from the world famous  CN Tower it's strange having a massive  Stone castle built in the early 20th  century so close to the downtown core  but that's probably why it's so haunted  all the ghosts want to gather there  because it feels like home one of the  most haunted areas of the castle are the  secret underground tunnels which connect  different sections of the property there  have been reports of a ghostly minor who  might have died digging the tunnels and  a lady in a white dress also the  Castle's former owner Lady Mary pellet  has been seen all throughout the  building some people say they've tried  to take a picture of her when she's  walking through and she will use her  ghostly powers to turn off your camera  sounds like she's not very photogenic if  you want to give yourself an extra  fright you should come check out the  castle in October when they turn the  whole thing into a massive haunted house  I've been it's a great time at number  three we have the hill of crosses in  Lithuania the look of this place will  make you say oh yeah there are for sure  some ghosts in here this hill has been  the site of rebellion respect and  remembering the dead for the past 500  years people Most Toxic Ghost Towns have come here to place  crosses as a way to pay Good Fortune to  those who died fighting for the freedom  of Lithuania this practice has made it a  safe haven for spirits to walk through  and there have been reports of seances  performed there trying to contact these  dead heroes there are currently over a  hundred thousand crosses piled up on  this hill back in the Soviet Reign they  tried to destroy this holy Landmark  three times three that's three three  times but the Lithuanian people stood  strong and came back to rebuild it every  time that's a pretty awesome story of  solidarity I know why ghosts want to  hang out here they're like I know my  home will be safe Forever at number two  we have Cemetery number one in New  Orleans USA this place has been  nicknamed The Haunted City because it is  literally filled with so many graves  that you could fill a small theater  there are over 700 Graves at this site  you pack that many people into to one  spot and you are guaranteed some strange  Spirits walking around on Halloween it  must be like a massive party in there it  would be a giant ghost Rave with the  coolest people from the last 200 years  the grave that gets the most attention  is that a former voodoo priestess Marie  Laveau it said she had the power to  influence spirits and now even in death  her ghost can gain strength from the  graveyard and get the Phantoms to do her  bidding I mean that's a good skill to  have after you're dead you're like oh  you guys you work for me that's how this  is gonna work and for the number one  spot we have the Rose Hall in Montego  Bay Jamaica a beautiful mansion that  used to be the home of the Palmers back  in the 19th century the two were a  loving couple or that's what the public  thought Mr Palmer died one day of  suspicious causes but Foul Play was  inconclusive Annie Palmer took control  of the property and people weren't too  suspicious until her two following  husbands and her parents died all  without warning now things are getting a  little suspicious the urban legend of  Annie Palmer is that she was a witch and  she would use dark magic to kill her  victims it's said that her evil spirit  still inhabits The Rose Hall a witchgo  sounds pretty serious especially one  that has killed people that's not  something you want to disturb for your  own entertainment right well you totally  can you can take tours of the building  which highlight all the Legends  surrounding the Witch of the Rose Hall  and if you really want to bring some bad  mojo into your life you can take part in  a seance to communicate with the spirit  of Annie Palmer I think the ghost of a  murderous witch isn't something I would  want to hang out with starting soft  number 10 a Wichita Falls Texas and  surprisingly there are a lot of haunted  towns in the state of Texas there are a  lot on this list and I feel like they  probably make the record for most  haunted towns in America but either way  Wichita Falls is filled and I mean  filled with haunting stories there's a  site in town called The Witch's gate  that used to be a mansion before it  burned down in the 70s after the man of  the house died his wife went a bit  insane turning to things like witchcraft  to try and cope she somehow burned the  Mansion down killing her two sons  withered another story claims the sons  were robbed and it was the thief that  set the house on fire the boys haunt the  area till this day and I'm not surprised  I'd be pissed too another famous one is  the white sanitarium presently a private  residence it used to be a mental  hospital in the 20s after the place  closed down people have seen a group of  men sitting around a table playing cards  perhaps the hospital's dead old staff I  don't know but more famously they've  seen a woman in nurses clothes roaming  the building there's also Pinky's cave  which is a three mile drainage ditch and  kids used to hang out there years ago  but now it's filled with Eerie sounds  and homeless people as well as the ghost  of a woman and her child who drowned  inside the tunnel during a storm coming  in at number nine is pluckley Kent  pluckley is a small village in Kent that  was named the most haunted village in  England by Guinness World Records in  1989. so I don't want to over hype it  but at the same time it clearly deserves  the hype it's said that 12 to 16 ghosts  taunt the village and the surrounding  areas the list includes a screaming man  who worked at the village brickworks and  fell to his death another is a  Highwayman who was pinned to a tree with  a sword that tree was soon named fright  corner and that's where his ghost looms  every day the Watercress woman is the  ghost of a woman who used to sit on a  bridge drinking gin and smoking her pipe  while selling Watercress you'd assume  she drowned in the river she sat near  but the reality was a lot more Grim it  said she dropped Jen all over herself  and accidentally set herself a light on  the bridge there's also the ghost of a  principal who hung himself and was found  by his students on LV Farm which dates  back to 1406 that's the ghost of Edward  Brett who shot himself in the dairy his  last words to his wife were I will do it  and that's what can be heard whispered  around the farm then of course if we're  more generic there's the white lady and  the red lady because make no mistake  there is always a white lady ghost in  every list that's seven ghosts already  in that's not even the end of it based  on the deaths in the list I get the  feeling there's like an external force  in the village that made people slightly  suicidal that's the vibe I'm getting I  don't already know at number eight we  have Savannah Georgia apparently it's  widespread knowledge that Savannah is  the most haunted city in America and  thankfully I've never been the town was  given this title because literally every  building in the town is haunted like  everyone every building has a story  every building has its own ghost it's  like Savannah is more for the ghost than  it is for the living the Hamilton Turner  Inn is home to the ghost of a man  smoking a cigar on its roof as well as  little children whose children are they  God knows dubbed one of the best haunted  hotels in the U.S because clearly that's  a real category the Marshall house was a  hotel that ended up being used as a  hospital Thrice in its history and thus  you can imagine all the dead patients as  ghosts running around  1790 in and a restaurant is the home of  a scorned woman called Anna who haunts  the upstairs guest rooms waiting for her  loss to love but why is Savannah so  haunted let's go back in history the  town has been the site of many and many  atrocities the siege of Savannah that  killed 240 people left people thinking  unsettled soldiers still lingered there  Savannah's also been the site of a  yellow fever epidemic so that's a lot of  people dead just there in 1820 there was  a massive fire in town that destroyed  500 buildings and there was an even  bigger fire 25 years prior that  destroyed half that number the people  that died in those fires have been  linked to the house as they occupied and  let's not forget the countless murders  that have taken place there as well  filling our number seven slot is Jerome  Arizona mining town Jerome is known as  the wickedest town the West for its  brothels gambling and heavy drinking  miners the town itself actually burned  down three times in three years at the  end of the 1800s at its peak population  was fifteen thousand it then shrank to  50 people in the 50s and currently it's  450 people inside the town the Jerome  Grand Hotel adds to the hauntings  tenfold before it was a hotel it was the  United birthday hospital where dozens of  people died during the Great Spanish  influenza coughs breathing the lights  flicking doors opening a little child  running on the third floor either  laughing or crying it has it all  sometimes the Little Ghost just stays at  the foot of a guest's bed and stares at  them all night the sounds of newborn  babies crying and many guests have even  spoken to the front desk about it out of  concern but then they find out it's  coming from an empty room a maintenance  man named Claude Harvey was found under  the elevator murdered in the 30s and his  ghost wanders around the hotel as well  there's even a ghost cat at this hotel  can you imagine I could go on but I  think you get the picture I've been  coming for tourism or to chase Ghosts no  one really visits Jerome anymore sadly  now at number six is Helltown Ohio  founded in 1806 and formerly called  Boston this place used to be the oldest  village in Summit County helthan was the  victim of Disappearing Forest land when  President Ford let the national park  jurisdiction expropriate land to make  Parks The NPS started buying properties  of locals in Helltown and they were  pissed they even wrote now we know how  the Indians felt all over their houses  which I feel is a bit inappropriate but  either way that was all for nothing the  plan fell through in the end and the  village was abandoned things went wrong  in 1985 when Rangers visited kregc dump  nearby and left covered in rashes and  sick apparently the dump was highly  toxic because chemicals were never  disposed off properly that's also the um  the issue of the um Satanist Church  equipped with upside down crosses and  all human and animal sacrifices even  took place there and that's not all  there was even an escaped mental patient  in the woods in the town that killed a  Bus full of children and that bus is  still there haunted by the ghost murder  had passed there's even a mutated snake  in the town known as the peninsula  python so it's safe to say the town  lives up to its name and has way too  much going on coming in at number five  is Granbury Texas this one's a bit of a  small one in 2010 their population  wasn't even 8 000 so I mean it's an  intimate little town but regardless of  that it's been the home for many  Infamous people over the years Davey  Crockett's wife Elizabeth moved their  post to Texas Revolution and Jesse James  is even buried in the city of Granbury  Cemetery Billy the Kid apparently moved  there too after faking his own death but  the biggest haunted appeal of Granbury  is John Cena Helen he moved there in the  1870s to teach and would quote  Shakespeare all the time but people  think John Saint Helen was actually John  Wilkes Booth the man who assassinated  Abraham Lincoln apparently he died in a  bar fire and police through Booth's body  into the Potomac River others say he was  assigned a new identity after the  assassination I mean in town he walked  with a strange limp and had a Southern  accent so people were wary of him on his  deathbed he did confess to a priest that  he was in fog John Wilkes Booth and told  him where he could find the gun that  killed Abe but he didn't die that day he  fled the city but it said that when he  did finally die wherever that was he  came back to Granbury the Grand Prix  opera house is haunted by him now and  you can hear him quoting Shakespeare all  the time  some things never change at number four  is Galveston Texas this island City's  residents are so used to seeing ghosts  around that honestly they don't even bat  an eyelid anymore during the early 1900s  the city opened the Galvez hotel to  honor military leader Bernardo de Galvez  and they commissioned a giant portrait  of him to go in its Lobby soon after the  Galvis hotel opened its doors guests  tired complaining this painting would  make them feel extremely cold and that  his eyes would just follow them  everywhere the hotel is also haunted by  a ghost bride who's been seen many times  in room 501 it said she hung herself  after finding out her fiance died at sea  but to make matters worse he didn't even  die he came to the hotel looking for her  and for the marriage that would never be  there was also a storm in 1900 which is  still considered the deadliest storm in  U.S history that kills 8 000 residents  Mayfield's Manor served as a morgue  after the storm and it's now haunted all  year round 24 7 Around the Clock Dash  Beardsley does ghost tours of the city  and he said he's seen them with his own  eyes among his many stories is one of an  office and town that calls 9-1-1 every  night the police have gone their  countless times to find the office empty  and no telephone even connected another  story is the ghost of a Salesman who  died inside Madame Harvey's brothel in  the 1800s a police chief moved his body  to a park and made it look like he was  you know feeding pigeons and put him on  a bench so it would be less embarrassing  for his family and the man's ghost is  still looking for his car keys filling a  number three slaw is Jefferson Texas  that's three towns in Texas in a row now  I really wasn't lying when I said Texas  Takes the Cake on this list it's been  dubbed One of the most haunted towns in  the South by many travel channels and I  know it sounds like I'm saying this is  one of the most haunted towns ever for  every single number but it's true either  way the town is plagued by the  apparitions haunting the Jefferson Hotel  and the Excelsior House let's start with  the hotel there's a staircase inside  which is known to be haunted by Little  Ghost but likes putting hair and tapping  guests shoulders guests have been locked  inside their hotel rooms and bathrooms  for ages before being let out whilst  hearing a creepy laughter from the other  side of the door orbs also appear in  photos taken inside the hotel and all  this isn't even scaring me it's just  making me feel annoyed for the guests  who have to stay there not my problem I  mean not my problem anyway the Excelsior  House is another hotel that's basically  just as haunted it houses a headless  ghost on the second floor so you know  might want to avoid that and it even  houses a woman in black carrying a baby  the ghost apparent even spoke to Steven  Spielberg in their 80s and so she got  closer to my dreams of becoming an actor  than I have and she's dead great now nm2  is Kerrville Texas this town is  specifically known for two haunted  buildings whose ghosts seem to go all  around the town all the time the first  is Kerr County Courthouse where two  tragedies took place the first was to do  with a couple the man asked his beloved  to marry him and she said said no so  naturally in a fit of jealousy and a  rage he killed her and then hung himself  right in front of the courthouse talk  about unable to deal with rejection Mana  boy both have been seen over a hundred  times at the courthouse in the  surrounding area just Milling about  honestly I'd be so mad if I was the girl  honestly like I said I didn't want to  marry you and now I'm stuck in this  afterlife Purgatory with you just just  my luck anyway the Second Story involves  a prisoner who was killed during a rough  interrogation and he too haunts the  inside of the building by banging on the  bars and throwing papers about now the  second building is Delaney Hall in  Shriner University from its name you can  probably guess that it's a dorm building  at the University and it's haunted by  eight former students while living  students still reside there the students  see door slamming when the ghosts have  fights with one another and construction  workers constantly complain about how  their tools go missing because of the  ghosts and finally at number one is  Saratoga Texas the light of Saratoga is  the legend of mysterious lights  appearing and disappearing on Bragg Road  that all residents know the road runs  between Beaumont and Livingston and is  next to the ghost town of Bragg station  a haunted road and a ghost town what a  match made in heaven strange lights on  roads have been featured in many other  videos this phenomenon is nothing new  some think it's simply swamp gas but the  most popular story behind it is that a  railroad worker was decapitated during a  railway accident and the light comes  from the lantern his ghost carries as he  looks for his head honestly if he  survived this long without his head I  don't really think he needs it the  second explanation for the light is a  ghostly couple it said the newlyweds  were on their way home on the road when  they were stopped by an innocent looking  man on the side of the road however the  man was not innocent at all he had a gun  and a knife and took the man's wife  hostage into Big Thicket forest and  killed her there and then disappeared  the man was ordered to wait in the car  till they disappear appeared otherwise  he'd shoot her he waited and then ran  into the forest trying to follow their  sounds but he was too late so it said  the lights on the road are him trying to  find his bride's murderer  Love Never Dies you guys your fiance may  be murdered But Your Love Never Dies.

Top 10 REAL Evil People Who Summoned Demons

Top 10 REAL Evil People Who Summoned Demons
starting off in our number 10 spot we have Ed when Tammy was a kid her and her sister would often use Ouija boards and it always seemed that they would end up communicating with the same Spirit who was named ed apparently wasn't super nice because he would continually threaten their younger brother during this time and he was never with them during the times that they were using the board so it was definitely weird eventually they got creeped out enough that they got rid of the board and just put Ed behind them a few years later when their little brother got older he had used a Ouija board with his friend a couple of times and he came home to tell his older sisters a story that had him freaked out he explained that every time him and his friend used the board there kept being a spirit named ed who was threatening him apparently their mother ended up Banning the use of Ouija boards in their house which really is the right move in her number nine spot today we have the book okay so what if I told you that someone out there really thought it was a good idea to write a book that is for children but it tells them how to summon demons I mean mean listen for years there's been urban legends like Bloody Mary and Charlie Charlie which of course tell us instructions on how to summon those respective demons but urban legends are part of being a child it's spooky stories to share amongst friends but this book really takes things to an entirely new level many who are more well-versed in the worlds of Witchcraft and the Paranormal have explained that this book written by Aaron Layton is basically a grimoire it contains 72 different demons that can be conjured by those who read it for their own personal gain which is basically the definition of black magic the book not only includes these sort of cute drawings of creepy demons but it also includes the symbols for each demon which some have learned is also a very bad sign in our number nine spot today we have the room this story comes from an anonymous source but we'll call them Alex Alex and their fiance who will call Sam were given a Ouija board that their friend had apparently found on the side of the road which I feel like is the worst place to find a new Ouija board Alex and Sam decided to use it one night and begin to ask questions they asked who was with them and if they were an angel demon or Spirit it replied that their name was Mo and that they were a demon by your creation Alex and Sam were obviously freaked out and just asked a few more simple questions like what is your favorite poster of ours on the wall Mo replied with bloody mess Alex and Sam had a kiss photo with Gene Simmons on it that had blood everywhere on it Alex pointed to that poster and asked this one Mo said yes Alex and Sam had a few skeleton heads that sat on their TV so they asked Mo to move the skeleton head so that they could have proof Mo was real Mo said to close their eyes so they did a few seconds later all of the skulls on the TV had moved to be facing them only Sam and Alex were in the room at the time and they had been sitting right next to each other which would have made it impossible for one of them to be pranking the other in our number 7 spot today we have Nicolo Paganini Nicola was a professional violin Ernest was born in 1782 his parents began to send him to lessons when he was just five years old and by age 15 he was already touring the world because he was so talented what's interesting about Nicolo and his story other than his obvious musical genius however is the rumors surrounding his talent and subsequent recognition According to some people believe that his own mother summoned the devil in order for her son to be the extreme talent that He is there are many modern diagnosis that could potentially explain some of what made Nicolo so talented and I mean we all know quite well that sometimes people are just born with extreme talent but of course in the early 1800s people in their imagination certainly ran wild the final reason why people believe he may have made a deal with the Devil is because shortly before his death he was quite sick the doctors had a feeling he was nearing death so they sent in a priest to pray over him when he first saw the priest it has said that he freaked out and sent the priest away many people believe that him pushing the priest away was only a confirmation of the fact that he was working with the devil in our number six spot today we have the lady ghost demon this story comes from the Reddit user's seven leg spider and they really just dive in basically for several years spider saw what they thought was just a lady ghost every night at the door of the closet it happened for so long that spider just got used to it and even started saying good night to her spider says she didn't look bad or rotten she was just a lady with pale skin and dark hair anyway after a few years of this spider finally tells a friend at school about the lady he of course didn't believe a story right away but the next day at school he tells spider that this lady tried to hurt him while he was sleeping now spider didn't believe the friend and thought he was just playing a prank so more time goes by and spider decides to tell another friend about the lady and the same thing happens where the next time she comes and tells spider that the lady had tried to hurt her while she was sleeping the first friend and the second friend didn't know each other so it's not like they could have been conspiring which made spider believe his first friend was telling the truth then a while after that spider is on a video chat with a friend and they are talking about the Paranormal when they both see something run across the screen they chalk it up to being a glitch and spider starts telling this friend about the lady and then spider begins to get extremely dizzy like they're about to pass out after it goes away spider tells their friend that they're okay and the front replies that they were out of it for at least a full minute and that he could feel that someone was there trying to hurt spider I'm in the end I'm just really glad that spider and all of the friends ended up being okay and I really hope they found a way to get rid of that demon lady in at number 5 spot today we have the meditation this story comes from someone online who starts off by explaining that they accidentally summoned a demon once and it was a huge mistake they say that it all started when they were meditating with some stones that a friend had given them they say that the stones were polished and given to them in a medicine bag when they went to meditate they were holding four in each hand just letting their mind wander when they felt something or someone slam into their back after this they heard demonic laughter and a bunch of banging upstairs when there shouldn't have been anyone up there they immediately blew out their candle and left the house when they returned to the house later they explained that this is when they started to see Shadow crawlers all over the walls the strange occurrences continued as they would hear the sound of children laughing in their home despite no children being there and things would suddenly disappear only to be found later in places that had already been checked they finished this story by saying that they ended up fleeing the house one night and burning it down never to look back I'm gonna be honest not sure about the whole burning the house down thing seems maybe a little illegal but I guess All is fair in the world of demonology in our number four spot today we have Zozo this story comes from the Reddit user archaic Alchemy who we'll call a when a was 22 they were staying with their sister and one night they had a couple good friends over to hang out and play around with a Ouija board which is always the start of a good Demon story a had read about people encountering an entity called Zozo and a really just wanted some proof that things exist beyond our Physical Realm so they really wanted to use the Ouija board everyone places their hand on the planchette and a calls out to Zozo it took a few attempts before anything happened but then the planchette began to move in figure eights no matter what was asked it just kept moving in this pattern until it finally spelled out m-a-m-a a kept asking who they were talking to and eventually they spelled out Zozo and then things really escalated the planchette was taken to the letters to spell out kill you and when a asked who they spelled out one of the friends names they didn't take it seriously and kept asking more questions and one friend made the mistake of insulting Zozo the planchette begins frantically moving through the alphabet backwards over and over before it stops then the energy in the room completely drops and a knows that this means that Zozo has manifested itself suddenly a begins to laugh maniacally with no control over it a could feel zozo's presence inside and could feel Zozo turning all of this hatred and anger towards the friend that had been named before his emotion suddenly completely switched and they began crying uncontrollably before again suddenly snapping back to anger A's head turns involuntarily to look at the friend with a menacing grin as a pushes the planchette towards this friend the friends decide it's rightfully time to leave and shortly after they left a felt like they regained control again and zozo's presence had disappeared I'm very glad that nothing even crazier happened and that Zozo wasn't able to end up harming this friend in the end in a number three spot today we have Giuseppe tartini okay so this story is one that is kind of similar to nicolo's but even more strange Giuseppe was an Italian Ancient Mysterious Creatures violinist and composer who lived during the 1700s he went on to compose a song called The Devil's Trill Sonata and not only um and not only this but he also claimed to wake up one night to find Satan sitting on the edge of his bed playing the violin seems as though the devil really likes violence apparently what's extremely curious is that after this alleged encounter it is said that Giuseppe's violin skills hit Heights never seen before he was able to suddenly play extremely complicated trills that are impossible for most musicians apparently even today the Sonata is too difficult for many musicians to play which is why people believe that perhaps this story really was true in our number two spot today we have the gray skin demon this story comes from pink magic 724 on Reddit and it is about a night that they had a few years ago while still in college pink Magic's best friend of many years was in town so they went out for a dinner to catch up and spend some time together they of course ended up getting a bit caught up as best friends do and before they know it it's around 2 A.M and definitely time for them to head home pink Magic's friend was the one who drove so they headed off to Pink Magic's house they're at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green when pink magic turns their head and looks out the window into the car next to them this is when she sees the person next to them is looking directly back at them but this person has gray skin completely black eyes with no white and they are smiling but their teeth are long and sharp whoever or whatever this thing is will not break eye contact pink magic tries to scream but no sound will come out I've had that Nightmare Before and eventually the friend sees this creature too and immediately speeds out of there to this day neither of them like to talk about it and neither of them are quite sure what exactly they witnessed in our number one spot today we have Johan George Faust according to the stories passed down about this man it is said that he was an alchemist and astrologer who lived in Germany during the 1500s it is said that in his plight to become the smartest man in the world while also enjoying as many Earth firstly Pleasures as possible he summoned the help of a demon named Mephistopheles I thought that that was just one of the cats from cats but apparently not anyways there are terrible stories about how cruel and truly evil this man was and as a professor it is said he looked down on everyone else because he thought he was smarter than them local priests apparently believed that he had actually made a deal with the devil and that his pet dog was actually a demon who was able to shape-shift what's most interesting about this is that during his life he did publish several grimoires and in 1540 while conducting some sort of alchemaic experiment his laboratory exploded starting off in our number 10 spot we have Theophilus of Adena okay so to start off this list today we are taking it a little bit back all the way to 538 A.D theophyllis of Adeno was a cleric in the Roman Catholic church so basically one day he was elected to become the new bishop but he ended up denying the offer as it is said that he wanted a more Priestly sort of position instead of one with all of that power and responsibility it is said that he wanted the position of irk Deacon which would have seen him controlling where the donation money went so apparently in passing on this bishop position he thought that if he gave this bishop position to his rival then his rival should at least be grateful enough to give him the position he wanted but of course that did not happen the new bishop gave away the seat that Theo wanted and instead gave him the position of being a humble cleric this made Theo super angry and this is when he thought that maybe the church isn't as holy as he once thought they were this is when he decided to summon the help of Satan he ended up signing a contract with Satan in his own own blood he denounced Jesus and the Virgin Mary and it is said that with the help of Satan he was once again voted into the bishop position and this time he accepted at this point in time it is said that he felt so guilty he confessed to this deal with the devil and the priest who he confessed to decided that they should burn the blood-signed contract for a second Theo looked up but then suddenly he collapsed and died many people believed that it was because he had broken his contract with Satan in our number nine spot today we have woken up this story comes from someone named Justin and one night Justin and some friends decided to try their hand at contacting the spirit world through a Ouija board they began to ask questions but instead of the planchette moving to certain letters it began to move to all four corners of the board making a sort of X before it just started to go in circles Justin and his friends decided to call it a night with the board but not too long after this day Justin decided to try again with a different friend the planchette began to move in strange patterns again but this time Justin said it felt like some sort of hex later that night as he was sleeping he all of a sudden out of nowhere felt some sort of forceful hand grab his arm which of course jolted him awake once awake he couldn't see anyone or anything around him and everyone in his house was peacefully asleep in our number eight spot today we have Aleister Crowley this man is quite well known for being the leader of an occult group and this really does step back even into his childhood it is said that quite early on Alistair started calling himself the Beast and the Antichrist and he is even quoted as saying that God and Satan fought over his soul in one of his books he wrote quote I was in the death struggle with self God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours God conquered now I have only one doubt left which of the twain was God many people believe that perhaps he made a deal with Satan but it is possible that these are just Rumblings based on alistar's teachings and beliefs in our number seven spot today we have the basement this story comes from someone named Vince and it has to do with a Time time he played with a Ouija board he didn't really expect much to happen and was just sort of going along with it but during the time using the board the lights began to Flicker and the air around Vince and his friends got quite cold this is when they knew that something more serious was going on the demon began to communicate with them through the board and it told them its name which Vince says seems like a sort of Russian name when they asked how the dark Spirit got there they explained that they had been killed Vince explains that he and his friends took a break from the board but they didn't remember to close the circle before they left which if you're not familiar with Ouija boards is a huge mistake once they all returned back to the basement where they left the board they could feel the heavy energy in the room and they came to find that everything was in complete disarray books were thrown about things were sprawled on the floor but the only thing that hadn't been touched was the board which still sat perfectly still in the center of the room just how they had left it Victor ends his story by saying quote upon looking at a mirror that we had near nearby the eye of the Ouija board was moving sporadically in its reflection in our number six spot today we have the text okay so this story isn't like others on this list and it's one of the strangest I've ever heard so basically this person who was you know on a dating app receives a text message one day from one of the guys that they were talking to that says quote I've been thinking about summoning Satan to impress you okay personally I would run the other way but turns out these are texts some people are just waiting around to receive when they followed up the text the person said again quote no I'm not kidding unless I told you when I was drunk I legitimately sold my soul to him in January 2013. turns out this guy really meant it of course this person needed to know more and as it turns out they got the full story so basically this guy explained the entire procedure of selling your soul he said that it's simple you just have to write a letter sign it in your blood perform a sort of ritual and then some sort of physical Mark will show up on your body like a scratch and according to this guy your wishes just come true Apparently after this guy had done all of that he said that he laughed in a voice that wasn't his own and since then all of his desires have been coming true this story is weird but apparently it really is that easy definitely wouldn't recommend trying it though just in case you know in our number five spot today we have the entity this story starts off hot when the Storyteller explains that they have used a Ouija board and since doing so they clearly have opened their home up to some sort of evil entity who hasn't exactly been kind they say quote it started out with that feeling like you're being watched and doors are closing and you hear footsteps on the hardwood when you're home alone and it progressed slowly into being kept awake by something shaking the bed or pulling off your covers sometimes even Whispering Your Name the board would disappear for days on end then show up in places you never would have put it I became obsessed with it then it was a black mass in the corner of the room or the silhouette of a man watching you from the doorway after that it escalated pretty quickly I had my hair pulled fingers pricked scratched they go on to explain that sometimes while they're trying to sleep they find themselves unable to move and can feel the entity whispering in their ear and what they say is Latin they explained that they have since had their house blessed and are hoping that this keeps the demon at Bay in our number 4 spot today we have Jack Parsons Jack was a man who was born just a few years prior to the Wright brothers flying the first airplane and being born at a time like that had him growing up dreaming of and reading sci-fi novels about rocket ships taking people to space it is said that this love of rocket ships and these dreams of going to space are what led to him summoning the devil in order to make a deal Jack wanted to sell his soul in exchange for a rocket ship this deal didn't end up working but Jack continued to study science as he Grew Older later Creepiest Urban Legends in his life he stumbled upon the teachings of Aleister Crowley that we talked about before and this is when he tried his hand at summoning things again this time he tried to Summit a goddess named Babylon that was said to possibly help men get to the moon one day technically in some ways it worked because Jack Parsons ended up helping create the jet fuel that is said to still be used today maybe it was the deal with the devil Maybe it was the goddess or maybe it was just good old passion and drive that did it I guess it all depends on what you believe in our number three spot today we have the mistake this story starts off with the Storyteller and their wife and this new home that they had moved into they both noticed some weird things happening around the house and this led to them getting a Ouija board in the hopes that maybe they could get some answers as to what may be happening here what they didn't realize before using the board which is pretty common is that these boards open the door to communication for anyone anything lurking on the other end can answer the call and sometimes it's not the spirit you're hoping for while using the board they ended up contacting some sort of entity that didn't give them very clear answers and things were feeling kind of vague near the end of their Ouija experience they had the planchette just suddenly fly off the board despite neither of them touching it after this experience however things got so bad that the pair had to break their lease and move they explained that there were radios and TVs turning on by themselves all the time they would find TAPS run when no one had left them like that they could hear disembodied voices around their home objects were moving and the storyteller's wife even said that she had found the Storyteller possessed one night but he has no memory of it in our number two spot today we have the artist back in 1677 an artist named Christoph heismann was working on a castle in Austria he was so talented at his job that he had been commissioned by The Nobles to do this work there were Rumblings about how he may have sold his soul to the devil but no one was sure of it until it is said that Christoph confessed he said he had nine years prior and that he regretted it very much now and actually wanted an exorcism they demanded to know if he was a practicing witch but in the end it was decided that he was not and that instead the devil just had a very strong hold on him the local priest began giving Kristoff exorcisms and during these sessions Christoph explained that he had these intense Visions where he was coming face to face with the devil who was in the form of a dragon the dragon was holding the contract that held Kristoff's soul and this is when he was able to rip it out of the dragon's Talons when he woke up it seemed as though Pete was cured after this he began painting pictures of the devil and he even painted a story with multiple panels that told the story of how he sold his soul and how they helped him get it back in our number one spot today we have this is not a game this story is said to have taken place over a decade ago and it starts off when the storyteller's sister had some friends over and they were in the basement watching a scary movie when they decided to start playing around with a Ouija board things weren't going exactly as they anticipated and they all started getting frustrated at the board and began to hurl some insults toward it calling it fake and things like that at this point they turned their attention back to the movie and away from the board but it soon became clear that someone was in fact listening all of a sudden the lights and all of the electricity goes out and it's just pitch black the TV suddenly turns back on but it's just blaring static the TV shuts off again and turns back on but it's just a black screen suddenly words appear on this screen that reads this is not a game anymore they all ran out of the house as quickly as they could and that was definitely the last time any of them touched a Ouija board it isn't exactly clear who or what they summoned but whatever it was it certainly was not playing around starting off in our number 10 spot we have the dreams this is a story from somebody named Jake p and they wrote quote my buddy and I found a Ouija board at my girlfriend's house we were really bored so we went to this graveyard by my house to see if it would actually work as suspected nothing happened we brought the board back to my house and didn't think anything of it I feel like that's like the classic story just when the Ouija board hears you talking smack that's when things always start to go crazy though Jake continues on saying quote the next day strange things began happening out of nowhere my friends started having sleep paralysis every time he spent the night at my house despite never having it before the first time he saw a tall woman with long black hair standing in the corner of the room facing the wall the next time he was asleep on the couch and he saw the same woman standing at my Open Door or looking directly into my room I don't know what demon lady they summoned but I hope they did everything they could to get rid of her sounds an awful lot like the bent neck lady and we all know how well that went in our number nine spot today we have Joe Joe isn't necessarily the first name that comes to my mind when making a list of spooky demons but this story that was posted on Reddit might just make me think a little differently they explained that a few months ago one of their friends brought over a Ouija board there were around five of them at the sleepover and they all began playing around with it and asking questions and that is when they met Joe after about an hour of questions and answers with Joe one of the girls asks Joe are you a bad Spirit Joe answered and oh okay that's good but then Joe spelled out h-i-m the girls asked him who he was talking about and that's when he spelled out the words he's coming and started to spell out Zozo which if you aren't familiar is one of the worst Ouija board demons you could possibly encounter that ended up being the end of the Ouija board experience it's for the girls that night because how terrifying but they decided in the morning to try again this time they began speaking to someone who apparently claimed to be Joe's wife they asked her if Joe was a bad Spirit to which she quickly replied y-e-s in our number eight spot today we have the dog this story starts off with the Storyteller who we'll call Alicia and her friends playing with a Ouija board in the backyard she explains that they did end up contacting someone and this is when one of the friends who was also there decides that it would be a good idea to insult the name of this entity I don't know about you but I certainly would never risk it I'm not trying to be haunted for the rest of my life and my afterlife just because I thought I was smug anyway when the friend throws this insult out the vents behind them immediately starts to Rattle this was enough to convince them that it was time to pack up and head back inside they all headed for the door but Alicia's dog stopped at the bottom of the stairs which was already unusual behavior when they turned to look at the dog they found him standing there just snarling looking at something that he could see out in the darkness I'm sure hoping that the person learned not to insult people who lay on the other side in our number 7 spot today we have Blanche this story comes from the Reddit user turtle shell magic and it involves their friends M and L so one night the three of them were at M's house and decided to crack open the good old Ouija board for a little spooky fun they contacted some sort of spirit whose name was Blanche and who lived sometime in the 1800s and everything was going well until M asked Blanche how they died and she replied with the word killing em asked how they had been killed and Blanche said not I from there everything started to get really heavy and the room just like felt different all of a sudden the board was ripped from their hands and went flying across the room they stopped playing immediately but I don't think that they closed everything properly after this incident M's mom passed away just a week after from an illness that no one knew she had not long after this Ella's mom was hospitalized and then shortly after that Turtle Shell's mom had to have emergency surgery maybe this was all just some horrible horrible coincidence but turtle shell says that since then they have experienced things that they think are directly related to what happened that night things like hearing voices Dark Shadows hearing footsteps they find themselves wondering if they're still haunted despite it having been nine years since that night in our number six spot today we have the devil this is a story that is actually the one that caused this person to swear off Ouija boards for the rest of their life they say the experience was so terrifying it made them completely lose interest they explained that halfway through their session in this particular circumstance they ended up contacting a new spirit who claimed to be the devil I personally would like to hang up that call for sure especially when this person explains that the spirit seemed to be annoyed that it was being disturbed like so sorry no problem I'll go the Storyteller explains that after receiving several messages from the spirit that said please stop and then stop which for the wreck record I would have listened to the first time but apparently they just kept going because they say that suddenly the temperature dropped just like you see in the movies from here this Spirit gave them a message that read if you do not stop now I will fill the room with the most evil spirits they definitely took that one seriously and decided it was best to stop and simply has never gone back in our number 5 spot today we have the thrifting find one day this Reddit user found a real old school wooden Ouija board at a thrift store I probably would have run in the opposite direction but they ended up purchasing it later that evening they and a friend decided to try it out and asked a few questions but never got a response they of course got bored and left the Ouija board out on the bed and headed out of the house to go and get some snacks this was all fine until they came back to the house when they got back they realized that the plan chat was now moving but completely on its own the word foul was being spelled out over and over again and the two just stared at it in absolute awe eventually they grabbed the board broke it in half and covered it with salt but before they got rid of it in a safe place I definitely think that experience was probably the last time they ever used a Ouija board in our number four spot today we have persistence this story is from someone with a username Amara Lachey and they wrote quote my cousin was heading to a party with a Ouija board in the trunk of her car for all of us to use on the way to the party she got in a car wreck she was fine but her car was totaled so obviously instead of going to the party she went back home when she opened her closet to get ready for bed the board was somehow back in the closet she burned it after that honestly that is the only truly good response to having something like that happen I'm just glad she was okay and hopefully that board never came back again in our number three spot today we have signs this story starts out like many of the others on this list a group of friends just casually trying their hand at contacting the Paranormal you know that's stuff that most of us do on weekends the friends felt as though they had contacted someone but they wanted to be sure so they said if you're here give us a sign they all stood there and nothing happened which made them doubt the power and ability of the Ouija board just as they were beginning to laugh at the board they received a sign that the entity was with them this came in the form of lights flickering on and off for minutes at a time it didn't stop here though they also could hear footsteps stomping above them despite being the only ones home safe to say they were sufficiently spooked and apologized forever doubting whatever entity they came into contact with in our number two spot today we have the following this story starts out when this person's mother began to get interested in things like card reading and the Occult and she began trying to speak to spirits one day she was using a Ouija board and when the Storyteller touched the planchette it is said that it flew right out of his hand and smashed against the wall this happened when he was a teenager but since then nothing has been the same they explained that from then on in the night they could feel something looking at them from the darkest corner of their room like some sort of shadowy figure you can't really see because it's dark and it's night time but you know it's there throughout their life even after moving to different homes they've seen things in the places they live that seem to be following them anywhere they go in our number one spot today we have ICU this story comes from a Reddit user called no springs one day they were at a friend's house having fun and goofing around and they decided to bring out a Ouija board they weren't getting very many results and weren't really taking it seriously but then they got a message from the board saying I can see you through the window and then another after that that said I can see you through his eyes there was a small window in the basement room they were in and through that window they could see the backyard the driveway and the woods that lay behind it they continued to ask the spirit questions and ended up getting an answer that said I'm under the car somehow they were able to muster up the nerve to go and check under the car with flashlights when they looked they found a huge black stray cat hissing this obviously terrified them and they all ran back into the house as quickly as possible at the exact moment they get back inside the house all of the Power shuts off the lights go out and it's completely dark after that it's safe to say that they stayed up all night unable to sleep and they definitely never played with a Ouija board again.

Top 10 Space Mysteries We Should NEVER Try To Solve

Top 10 Space Mysteries We Should NEVER Try To Solve
when it comes to the infinite expanse of space I personally choose not to question a lot of it space is terrifying and there is so much in space that could destroy our entire planet we could do absolutely nothing about it so today on most amazing top 10 I'm Adam Andrews and we're talking about the top 10 space Mysteries we should just never try to solve there's a lot here I don't really understand or that I may gloss over or even get wrong so I invite you to discuss everything in this video down below hey butts coming in at number 10 what came before the Big Bang so the Big Bang was what started the universe billions of billions of Earth years ago but like what came before that we honestly don't really know and our smartest Minds theorize the answer is extremely simple Stephen Hawking noted that the answer could literally be nothing we have no observable evidence of what came before everything I come from the top 10 nerd Channel and this question has been answered in different ways in comic books in Marvel they say that we are in a version of the cosmos meaning there was a previous version that ended up getting destroyed and remade but if that's the case what's doing the destroying and the remaking if nothing came before then what the heck caused the Big Bang in the first place if there was something before what would that do to the way we think about the universe and if something is responsible for it all I don't know if our tiny little human brains could actually handle that number nine gravity paradox this question is a pretty simple one but yet it's got a lot of scientists kind of completely stumped why can a refrigerator magnet defy an entire planet's gravitational pull it's basically asking why gravity can be such a strong force in the universe but also be such a weak one in other instances some scientists believe that gravity May well be as strong as other forces like electromagnetism and the force that holds the nucleus together but they think that gravity's influence is dissipated because it leaks into extra dimensions that's just the theory though because we actually have no idea that most famous urban legend one little question about refrigerator magnets has kind of brought the whole idea of gravity into question if it is being dissipated into extra Dimensions that opens up way more questions than it actually answers obviously I'm not smart enough to answer this question I am after all just a YouTube host not a scientist but I would just think it's all subjective right like a planet is so huge that the things that are on the planet would have to follow different gravitational rules right and like a magnet is still being affected by the Earth's gravity it's just so small in comparison that it can do its own thing I'm literally talking about my butt right now I I honestly don't know what I'm talking about we should just move on before I make myself sound more dumb than I already am Number Eight how big is the universe I don't know if you guys have seen that clip from Pete Holmes stand-up routine but he talks about how none of any of this makes any sense the universe is constantly expanding and infinitely Infinity is getting bigger and like Pete says that makes no freaking sense if the universe is constantly expanding and we know it's constantly expanding then when posed with the question of how big the universe is someone would be able to give you an answer but we don't actually have a number for that because we literally don't know the shape of the universe and we don't know the actual rate at which the universe is expanding we just know that it is to me this question Almost Doesn't Matter from most of us because even if we were to try to go to the edge of the universe no one here can live long enough to make that Journey it takes roughly 9 to 12 years to get to Pluto and that's just the furthest planet yes I'm calling it a planet in our solar system which itself is just an extremely tiny Speck in our Milky Way galaxy which is also just a tiny Speck in the vastness of the universe it's all too big this is what I'm basically saying here number seven expansion the last Point does Lead Me nicely to into this next point though which is the fact that while we know the universe is constantly expanding we can't actually put a pin on the rate at which it is actually expanding for the past six years the Hubble Space Telescope has been calculating the speed at which the universe is expanding and recently came up with what is accepted as the most precise measurement to date except that the rate stands in direct conflict with independent measurements of the early universe's expansion that's unsettling for astrophysicists because it means we know even less about our universe and its ways than we thought we did but if we do learn this one would that be a good thing or would it just help us all feel more and more meaningless and Tiny of course these are scientific questions or emotions about these things aren't really important but I'm just saying I already feel small and insignificant number six the Multiverse if you have been keeping up with the MCU then you are at least familiar with the idea of a Multiverse essentially it means that if you go far enough into the universe things would have to start repeating because there's only a finite number of ways that particles can be arranged in space and time according to theories the universe is flat and infinite so those particles would have to repeat creating Another Universe with another Earth and yes another you and because it's all infinite there would be infinite versions of you who could be doing the exact same things as you right now or maybe they wore different clothes today or had completely different job where honestly they're an infinite number of variables here the thing is we will most likely never know if this theory is true or not and even if we did that means there would be an evil alternate you or maybe or maybe you are the evil alternate one I don't know I don't know about that one man I don't like that number five what the heck is dark matter no lights or at least too little light for us to detect we know it exists because we see the effect of its gravity on the stars and the galaxies like the Milky Way which could not have dragged in enough matter to make its own stars in the 13.82 billion years since the Big Bang without there being a lot of invisible matter whose extra gravity helped speed things along I hope that wasn't too confusing the European Space Agency Planck satellite found that dark matter accounts for 26.8 percent of the mass energy of the universe mysteries urban legend compared with the 4.5 percent of normal Atomic matter this basically means that dark matter outweighs the visible stars and galaxies that we can actually see by a factor of about six and yet no earth-based experiment has found any evidence of dark matter at all and we have been looking for a long time it's totally possible that our theory of matter or more likely our theory of gravity needs to be reworked and fiddled with it's also possible that maybe the universe is filled with dark stars and dark planets and dark life what does that even mean I I don't know do you know because I don't number four what is time and does it even exist so when we talk about time we imagine it flowing like a river like a Time stream but for something to Flow by definition it has to flow with respect to something else like how a river flows with respect to a river bank so does time flow with respect to something else another kind of time maybe I I don't know the idea seems kind of stupid and kind of just made up but most likely the flow of time is an illusion that we created on our own with our brains to organize the information constantly flooding in through our senses we also have a strong sense of a shared past present and future however the idea of a common present meaning the time right now that everyone's in doesn't actually exist in our understanding of Relativity precisely how someone else's time is sliced up depends on how fast they are moving relative to you or the strength of the gravity they are experiencing these effects are only really note noticeable with things like the speed of light and super massive gravity which is why they are not super obvious to us in everyday life but it basically means the idea that one person's interval of time is not the same as another person's and that one person's interval of time is not the same as in others if you watch Interstellar there's a pretty basic explanation of this as different members of the crew age differently as they split up to different places around a massive black hole and other planets whose gravities affect all the characters differently time wise it's just my brain hurts actually a lot right now number three do have everything wrong Isaac Newton's theory of gravity was accurate enough to fly spacecraft to the moon but it began breaking down when extremely high speeds and very strong gravitational fields became known to us then Einstein's theory of general relativity came in and was a better alternative it correctly describes the bending of Starlight by gravity the orbital decay of binary pulsars and the warping of space-time around a black hole really cool stuff like that general relativity is currently physicists best theory of gravity but it doesn't answer everything obviously which is why history will probably repeat itself and physicists might discover small effects that would hint at an even better theory of gravity Einstein's theory has passed most of the things that might test it with flying colors but physicists will keep putting their theories on the rack one day it may even fail not being completely wrong but just one small part to a bigger puzzle that none of us will be alive to learn the answer to number two you Earth martians oh boy this one's a doozy okay so look we take it for granted that life on Earth actually began here we just kind of assumed that that's the way things worked but that's not actually necessarily accurate apparently scientists are actually finding evidence that life on Earth may have instead come from Mars and was brought to this planet by like a meteorite at some point in Earth's incredibly long history the trouble is that scientists themselves can't even agree on which area of science will provide the answer to this conundrum and let alone whether science is even where we should look to answer it which like Pete said about the universe's expansion that makes no freaking sense what do you mean what do you mean we can't what number one aliens since the early 1960s scientists have theorized that it's extremely likely that intelligent life exists outside of Earth and I for one totally agree the math kind of has to mean it's true the universe is ever expanding infinite and contains countless other galaxies just like ours with planets that would be in the similar position as ours is to their sun and with the right conditions for life to actually Thrive and grow like the planet Kepler-186f which you should look up if you haven't before it's kind of cool the trouble is that we have basically zero scientific evidence to prove that the life could potentially exist or does in fact exist in fact we have no hard scientific evidence that any life exists outside of Earth although with that planet we actually just can't see that far down onto like the surface of the planet to see what's going on so it could be there we just can't see it although we are finding some fun stuff on Mars that may say otherwise the time may be drawing closer and closer to when science confirms that there is life elsewhere in our solar system or the Galaxy or at least somewhere in the universe and I really hope I'm alive for that the thing that gets me though is if whatever is out there isn't Advanced enough to see us too and if it is Advanced enough to see us then is it Advanced enough to make it here and if that's the case then um we are not as advanced as that and we should stand no chance in defending ourselves against something like that assuming they would want to hurt us which as humans we would just assume they would and if they didn't I think our stupid human brains wouldn't be able to handle the fear of not knowing and we do something dumb like attack them and then we'd be gone because we just can't stand up to that kind of thing you know what I'm saying that's all the time I've got I need a nap word to just sit down because that was a lot so I'll catch you on the flippy flop and stay safe out there and don't think about space too much foreign.
