 'Slender Man's' featureless face, and tall, thin appearance is disconcerting at best. Appearing in photographs of lost persons, he will stalk his prey until they are his, infecting them with 'slender-sickness', his early calling card.
Try to run, but he will get you in the end... another missing person.

 'Dead Man's Pass' is the rather ominous sounding name of the reserve that runs along side the South Para River in Gawler, South Australia.
With reports of shadow people, whispy apparitions and people being touched as they walk the scenic trails - is it all in the name?  In the early 1800's, a family in Tennessee were tormented by a malicious spirit. News of the 'Bell Witch' spread like wildfire, and people travelled from all over to witness the events.
Several generations of the Bell family were haunted by the witch, who took responsibility for one of their deaths.  The Tulip Staircase in the Queen's House, Greenwich, is possibly the first unsupported spiral staircase in England.
Quite a grand reputation in it's own right, and with reports of disembodied footsteps, chanting children, bloody landings and this ghost photograph, it makes for quite a story. Orbs on the fairway, apparitions in the rough and 'creepiness' felt on the green; have all been experienced at Mount Lawley Golf Club, Western Australia. Hole 11, 'Clooties Elbow', is where the activity takes place.
Are the experiences a manifestation of the spirit of a man, found there in 1930?  Dragsholm Castle in Zealand, Denmark, was once the strongest castle in the region, being the only one to survive the wars of the 'Counts Feud'.
It is home to at least three ghosts, each with an interesting and sometimes tragic history. One such story was uncovered, literally, during renovations.  In 1848, strange 'rappings' were heard in the Fox family's Hydesville, New York, home. The rappings were capable of answering questions, through the number of knocks and taps they made.
It was soon believed that the Fox sisters, Kate and Margaret, were communicating with the dead.  In his book 'The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry', J. Allen Hynek suggested a way to categorise different types of reported UFO encounters.
The 'Hynek Scale' later entered the publics attention with the movie 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'.  UFO's, lost time, shadow figures, mysterious burns, the feeling of being watched, missing people, disembodied voices and an all round eeriness are some of the reasons why Hoia-Baciu Forest in Romania is locally known as:
"The Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania".  Labelled as one of the most prolific women serial killers in history, Elizabeth Bathory earned herself the reputation as the "Blood Countess". The total number of young women she tortured and killed is unknown.
Some of the legends make for a macabre story, but are they all true? |
