 In the north of India, high up in the mountains, lies a glacial lake known as Roopkund. At times, when the ice melts, the skeletal remains of hundreds of people all killed during the same tragic event can be seen.

 In the early morning darkness of August 27th, 1891, a steam train derails off Bostian Bridge into Third Creek, just two miles west of Statesville, North Carolina. Many are killed.
It is said that every year the phantom train repeats its final journey, playing out the crash again and again.  The LaLaurie Mansion is often cited as one of the most haunted buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana.
With a frightfully grim and macabre history painted by the torturous murders that took place with in its walls, it is little wonder this building has seen so many owners come and go.  Joliet has belonged to more than four generations of one family, for over a century. The doll comes with a terrible curse, yet the family does not dare part with it.

A drunken chat with a mysterious stranger telling a fanciful story, one that proved possible, after the university was gutted by fire and flame...  Shades of Death Road in Warren County, New Jersey, has quite the grim name. Stories of murder, tragedy and plague all call this place home.
The mystery of the area escalated even more when thousands of polaroids of bound women were found on a nearby hillside.
