Scariest Ghost Video

I've been watching so many ghost videos recently, that finding new footage is becoming harder and harder. However I did come across a video today with three new terrifying clips that I had not seen before.

What really grabbed me with this video was the warning put out by the uploader at the beginning of the clip:

WARNING: A clip in this video has (apparently) driven many viewers to insanity and suicide. DO NOT watch if you are easily scared.


Uh, wow. Okay. With a warning like that how could you NOT watch it?

I did, and here's my take on the three clips. If you don't want any spoilers, then skip reading everything below this portion until you watch the video.

Clip #1: Japanese Businessmen
The guys in this video see some strange looking woman at a restaurant who they start making fun of. Later, they see her again at the subway station where she waves at them and steps in front of a train to her death.

According to YouTube commenter "PaulyIllest":

In the first clip (I take Japanese) they were having a buisness celebration at a resteraunt and were slightly drunk. They noticed the pale woman and were making fun of her and calling her "it". Later at the station they were going to return to they're office to pick something up and left they're wives/girfriends to go home and noticed the woman again. They call her "it" once more, but when she walks off the man keeling over says he feels as if a seering pain is going through him...


Now personally, I don't think this clip is real and is probably the result of some hoaxers. Why would only these businessmen be able to see the woman? Why would no-one react to her getting hit by the train? A solid ghost that only the people with the camera happen to see? (why would they be filming in the subway anyway?)

It definitely has points on the creepy scale, but I don't think it has much on the realism.

Clip #2: The Alchemist Theater Investigation
A lone paranormal investigator goes into The Alchemist Theater in Milwaukee. I checked it out and yes, it is a real place. Almost immediately, things start to happen in this theater. Doors open and close, seats move, and stuff falls down. It definitely has quite a few moments that will startle you, especially if you're watching it intently. It certainly scared the investigator enough times!

What I really like about this is that the investigator brought two cameras with him. One he carries with him and one he sets up to watch him from a different angle. Whenever something happens he shows you what has happened from both cameras.


I might have thought the expensive camera equipment was a bit suspicious, but I also saw a comment from YouTube user, jnb4566:

LOL clip #2 was a friend of mine from Face Book, he's a small time film maker, BUT also owns a farm/property in USA with a haunted farm house & pig farm, he's also featured on My Ghost Story series telling his story.


I'll have to try to find the "My Ghost Story" clip, but for now I'm calling this one real. Spooky!

Clip #3: Haunted Hospital
This final clip is the one that has apparently driven people to insanity and suicide. Personally after seeing it, I don't see how it could do that to anyone simply from watching it, perhaps if you were there though it could be a different story... either way this was definitely the scariest of the three clips and I did feel some shivers.

It's another Asian clip but this time there are at least subtitles to read. Basically a reporter is doing an investigation of a haunted hospital. They did an interview with someone who had been in there before and dropped his camera, but was too scared to go back in and retrieve it. 

Upon their investigation they certainly find some disturbing things, including a final discovery of something so bizarre and unknown that they run out screaming. What is the mass they discover? It looks like something out of a Resident Evil movie.

Is this final clip real or fake? I did manage to find a comment by AndrewRuthven1 which gives his take on all three clips.

To the best of my knowledge the 1st one is a viral video for the new ringu/saddako movie, The third one is also a viral video for a movie or tv show. The 2nd one seems legit though.

Overall, everyone has their own opinion! If the third one is real, it is truly terrifying. Unfortunately, embedding has been disabled for this video, but here's the link so you can judge for yourself :)

UFO Sightings June 2012

Well, we're nearing the end of June and this means that AnonymousFO.com has released their June 2012 UFO sighting videos.

If you're unfamiliar with this website, they basically track down track down UFO sightings from around the world each month, filter out the fakes and post only the most compelling cases into one ultimate video compilation. Not bad when you realize they already got rid of the new hoaxes for the month.

While there's always a decent amount of sightings each month, in this newest clip there seems to be an extensive amount of group sighting UFOs. By this I mean multiple balls of light in the sky at the same time!

There also seems to be a common theme among the sightings between triangles and diamonds. Either the group UFOs are flying in these shapes or the crafts themselves are these shapes. What does it all mean? Is there some special type of significance? Is this to avoid crashing into each other? Or perhaps the more simple explanation, are they just trolling us from above?

Ha ha! Look at those humans trying to figure out what we're up to! Hey, let's leave a crop circle that looks like Obama's face to really screw with them!


...or something.

My only frustration with these UFO sighting videos is the quality of the footage. I know these are home videos but I mean geez, doesn't anyone out there have a $300 HD camera and a tripod instead of a smartphone?

Well, overall there isn't anything here that's going to make front page headlines in the Toronto Star anytime soon, but it's still interesting to watch and worth checking out. Thanks AnonymousFO! Everyone else - enjoy!


NASA's Alien Anomalies

Perhaps some of the most controversial UFO sighting evidence that exists today is the footage caught by NASA cameras. What can be verified as actual footage and what has been edited by hoaxers seeking to build a reputation and increase their video views on YouTube?

What adds to the mystery is the mixture of NASA astronauts who have come out and actually said that they have witnessed things that they could not explain. Start digging deep enough into YouTube and you'll find videos of astronauts going into detail about seeing UFO's right outside the windows of their spacecrafts. Assuming these are real astronauts and what they said they saw is what they actually saw, then that's pretty indisputable evidence of the existence of alien life.

Well, most people by this point probably agree that alien life exists so that's not the real conflict. The real conflict is whether or not we've been visited.

But where would the fun be if you couldn't watch a video and decide for yourself? Here's a 10 minute video I came across of a compilation of NASA's UFO sightings. Like all the videos I will be linking, it has way more "likes" than "dislikes" so you can disregard it being an "obvious" hoax.

I suggest you watch it and come up with your own opinion of whether you think this is real or not. Please leave a comment with your thoughts.

Real Ghost Caught on Tape - The Haunting!

A few weeks ago I came across an interesting video when searching for "real ghost" sightings. I came across a video called "Real Ghost Caught on Tape - The Haunting Series". in the video thumbnail was a picture of a girl with a red circle around her.

Intrigued, I clicked on it to start watching. I was blown away that the video had nearly 50 million views! Not only that but there was a roughly even 50/50 split between video likes and video dislikes. Way too controversial to simply accept or dismiss, I had to watch it for myself.

I soon realized that there was currently about 35 videos in this series made and the ratio of likes over dislikes increases with each video. Here's the premise:

The video's are made by film creator Mark Apsolon. Now one thing is to be said for sure about this guy, he makes some seriously creepy films. Highly entertaining but seriously creepy. Try watching a few of them back to back starting from #1 (link is at the bottom of this post). If these were real, then this is exactly how I would like a ghost series to be documented. He doesn't explicitly state that these are fiction in his videos either, leaving a bit of controversy for his viewers. We can however thank one of our readers for providing a link that states they are in fact, made for entertainment purposes.

Either way, the way these videos are presented are very well done. We may have the creator of the next "Paranormal Activity" type of movies on our hands. Everything is built up slowly over time with events starting to get more uh "shocking" with the newer videos.

Very cool and worth checking out.


Ghost Story - Hotel Hell



Ghost's are everywhere! In my searches to find new and interesting YouTube videos about paranormal events, I came across this little gem. Now what really blew me away here was upon opening the video I saw it had "41 likes and only 2 dislikes". That to me already offers a lot of credibility in separating real from fake.

While there isn't too much along the lines here of actual video footage of paranormal stuff happening (something I really enjoy seeing on camera), there is quite a bit of recounts of events along some photos.

All in all, this is definitely worth checking out. I know 45 minutes is a little long, but even just listening to the audio while you do something else you will get quite a bit of information. Unfortunately, embedding for this video has been disabled by request - but you can click the link to watch.

Overall, between the strange voices saying things like "let me out", "he's dead" and the strange sightings of orbs flying around, well it certainly seems very peculiar.

Do you believe the hauntings taking place here are real?
