The Surgeons Photo - Loch Ness

19/1/2013

Comments

 
Picture
In 1934, the most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster was printed in The Daily Mail. The beasts long, serpentine neck, and small head, can clearly be seen pointing out above the surface of the waters. But is all as it seems?

Is it a legitimate photo of a long thought, extinct creature, an as yet unclassified species, or a misidentified animal?
Or a hoax, cooked up by a big game hunter, his son and a London gynaecologist?

17/1/2013

Picture
For people who were fans of the 1960's television series "Dark Shadows", you will likely recognise this mansion. Now known as the 'Carey Mansion', this French renaissance chateau was once used for the external scences and shots of 'Collinwood'.

The Carey Mansion has its own interesting history, with ghosts and more than a few dark shadows of its own. Unfortunately, the experiences do not come with a two hundred year old vampire.

Picture
Since 1944, the graffiti "Who put Bella in the Witch Elm" has appeared, with the last case being in 1999. The graffiti, which is related to an unsolved murder, has slightly different spelling when it appears, but the message is always the same.

Who was 'Bella' and why was she put in the Wych Elm?

It is a long and interesting story, which starts with four boys finding a body, when poaching in Hagley Woods, Worcestershire, England.

The 'Three Men and a Baby' Ghost

Picture
Since the early 1990's, it has been said that there is a ghost in the movie 'Three Men and a Baby'. The image of a young boy, peering out from behind the curtains, can be seen in the background in one particular scene.

The legend states that the image is the ghost of a boy who died in the house. The parents, wracked with grief, moved out, making the house available for the shooting of the film.

What is the truth behind this legend, that has persisted for so many years?

The 'Love Rollercoaster' Scream

14/1/2013

Comments

 
Picture
In the 1975 track 'Love Rollercoaster', on the Ohio Players album 'Honey', a scream which sounds like a woman in agony can be heard in the background, at one point in the song. This did not go unnoticed, and about a year after the songs release, a radio DJ started an urban legend.

Was it that of the model on the albums cover, screaming in pain as heated honey burned her flesh? Was she stabbed to death outside of the recording booth, her screams picked up and put into the final track?

Oklahoma Impound Lot ghost

Comments

 
Picture
On the night of July 17, 2005, a worker at a car impound lot in Oklahoma, USA, was watching the surveilance monitors. Her eye locked in on a screen, showing what looked like someone walking around the wrecks, searching for something. Confused, as the alarms had not gone off, she sent another employee to see who it was.

No one was found, no alarms triggered. It is believed the figure was the victim of one of three fatal car crashes that night, the wrecks having been towed to the yard.

The Island of the Dolls

Picture
La Isla De Las Munecas - The Island of the Dolls, is a bizarre and creepy little island, found in Lake Xochimilco, Mexico. The island gets its name from the hundreds of broken and deteriorating dolls that can be found there.

The dolls were collected by Julián Santana Barrera, a loner who lived on the island. Barrera believed the dolls would appease the spirit of a girl found drowned near the island, and the evil spirits that dwelled there. Barrera also believed the dolls would come to life at night, to hunt...

Rosalia Lombardo – The Sleeping Beauty

8/1/2013

Comments

 
Picture
Rosalia Lombardo died of pneumonia in Palermo, Sicily in December 1920. Her father took her body to renowned embalmer, Alfredo Salafia, so her body would remain preserved.

Salafia's embalming technique worked so completely, that the body survived the ravages of time. It was so well preserved that even in 1995, when this photo was taken, she looked merely asleep. Another fascinating aspect is Rosalia's eyes. Some days and nights they will slowly open and close, as if slowly waking from a long sleep...

Catacombs of the Capuchins

8/1/2013

Comments

 
Picture
At the end of the 16th century, the friars of the Capuchin Monastery had run out of space in their cemetery. The solution was to start excavating Crypts below the cemetery, where they would inter the mummified bodies of those in their order.

Originally intended only for the dead friars, the catacombs soon became home to luminaries, priests and civilians, many preserved and wearing their finest clothes. Today, visitors can view the more than 8000 human remains lining the walls, or placed on shelves.
