A BOAT skipper has captured an incredible sonar image which he claims shows a 25ft-long Nessie lurking deep beneath the waves.
Mike Bell captured the remarkable image while he was taking a group of tourists for a trip on Loch Ness on June 27.
The sonar picture shows the bottom of the loch, a fish – and a long, thin object about 115ft (35m) below the surface.
When
the 24-year-old circled and took readings at the same spot the object
had disappeared, tending to rule out a log or other inanimate object.
Mike,
from nearby Drumnadrochit, had just finished explaining the story of
Loch Ness and the castle on the water when a tourist spotted the anomaly
on his sonar.
The image shows a the sonar device
with 101 metres at the top left hand corner indicating the total
distance to the bottom at that point.
On the right
hand side the device is going down in increments of 20 metres and on it
about 15 metres there is a big blip which suggest a big fish.
However,
at 35 metres there is a long zig-zag line suggesting a very large
object, which Mike believes could be the Loch Ness Monster.
A
south Okanagan man is convinced he’s captured the most conclusive piece
of evidence yet of the legendary and elusive lake monster in the
Okanagan known as the Ogopogo.
Jim La Rocque was enjoying his
mother-in-law’s lakefront property with his two children in Kaleden,
B.C. on June 1 when he says he noticed an inexplicable wake on Skaha
Lake.
La Rocque scrambled to record the mysterious ripples breaking through the lake’s glassy surface.
His son was wading on a paddle board nearby.
“Eventually
he turns and sees a flipper come out of the water and hit the water,
and that’s when he… turned around and started coming back in,” La Rocque
said.
The longtime Okanagan resident said he couldn’t believe his eyes.
La Rocque believes he witnessed a giant, serpentine creature swimming across the lake with at least seven fins paddling in sync.
He estimates it was at least 36 metres (120 feet) long.
Ghosthunters in Great Yarmouth believe they have captured paranormal activity at St George's theatre.
A
video posted by Ghosted UK on their YouTube channel shows a number of
silhouettes walking through the corridors next to the entrance of the
theatre.
Members of the group including Tim Johnson, Annabelle
Barnes and Amanda Esherwood said they were excited by the discovery at
their Paranormal event last month.
Mr Johnson, 51, from Caister,
admitted he wasn't sure what the shadow figures were but has described
them as "unexplained paranormal activity".
"I haven't got a clue
what they are but it definitely isn't the shadow of people because you
would have seen somebody walk in front of the window," he said.
"It is really exciting and we want to go back again to explore the building further.
At the minute it remains unexplained."
Mr
Johnson said the group which was set-up in January 2019 uses a variety
of high-tech pieces of equipment to help with their investigations.
The state-of-the-art kit includes night vision cameras, motion detectors, and voice recorders.
A young couple in Michigan claims that their home is possibly haunted by a malicious ghost after their daughter appeared to have three deep “purple scratches” on her face. They also believe they have captured the poltergeist on their nanny cam.
Now, they’re ready to move out.
Heather Brough, 25, and her fiancé, Josh Higgins, 30, set up the
camera after they discovered the purple scratches on their one-year-old,
Lily. They believe what they captured on the camera can only be
described as a ghost.
Upon reviewing the footage, the couple believes they saw a male
figure walk quickly past Lily’s crib, as she pops up and watches him
move through the room, before the alleged spirit vanishes in midair.
According to the Daily Mail, a paranormal investigator, called in to look into their claims, confirmed their home was haunted.
The couple currently resides in Higgins’ mother’s guest house in Highland,
Michigan. According to the mother, Kris, before the couple moved in, an
elderly lady lived there. Tragically, she lay with a broken hip for “a
very long time” before she was found dead at the bottom of the
stairs. Then, her “schizophrenic brother” lived in the home until his
death a few years later.
LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. - A Lehigh Acres family said they are being tormented by several ghosts haunting their home.
Elizabeth Lightfoot said the nightmare first began when the family moved into their 7th Street West home in February.
“I
don’t want to talk to it. I don’t want to communicate with it. I just
want it to get out, but it doesn’t want to get out so we have to move,"
Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot
said the haunting episodes were mild and not as frequent at the start.
The haunting episodes consisted of loud noises and items being shifted
around the house, but Lightfoot said it quickly became violent.
“It
broke our TV and our blender. I had to tie my cabinet shut. It even
threw a knife at me," she said.
“I don’t even want to go anywhere by
myself in the house."
A grieving mum believes her home CCTV captured the ghost of her dead son in her kitchen after a 'transparent' figure triggered her camera sensor.
Mom-of-two
Jennifer Hodge had been in bed watching TV with her daughter Lauren,
21, when she received a notification on her phone reading 'person
spotted in entryway' last week.
When
they opened the image, they saw a male figure 'beard and all' that
looked just like their son and brother Robbie, who died two years
earlier of a drug overdose.
Estate agent Jennifer, 57, claims she
is still 'freaking out' after seeing the eerie figure last week - but
finds comfort in believing it's a sign her son is at peace.
Jennifer, from Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: "It's just insane - I'm blown away. It's just crazy.
"I was laying in bed watching TV with my daughter and I was just about asleep.
"The phone was lay between us and I got this message notification saying someone was in the kitchen.
"She was like 'Mom, there's a person in the kitchen... Mom, that's Robbie!'
"She just said 'Mom, look! It looks like Robbie'. I was stunned.
However, there’s no denying that some entity is responsible for moving the handle on a Victorian hearse.
Steve Wesson had been hearing rumors of paranormal activity at Nottingham’s Haunted Museum, so he decided to investigate.
On Jan. 3, the paranormal
investigator set up a camera to hopefully catch a ghoul in the
act. Trouble is, all his video caught is a handle on the old hearse
being lifted up, but no one is seen on the tape.
"On the morning of Jan. 4, I went
through the camera footage and did not expect to see what I did,” Wesson
told Caters News Agency. “Caught on camera, I saw the handle being
pushed up in the air with great force being falling back down to its
original place — it was very scary but also amazing!"
Wesson acknowledged that the museum houses many items with spiritual oddities. He also said the ghost distorted the camera’s settings.
LOS ANGELES — Before Jennifer Aniston lived in an apartment above
Central Perk with her gal pals, the actress says she lived in a real
haunted house.
“This dishwasher would start to go, or the coffee-maker would start
to go, or the stereo would just turn on at full volume,” she told James
Corden. “And it was terrifying.”
Aniston was on “The Late Show With James Corden” to promote her new
Netflix movie “Dumplin’ ” that features music from Dolly Parton.
The actress says the haunting happened when she first moved to Los
Angeles early in her career and she even went so far as to hire a ghost
whisperer.
“They had frankincense and they put it in a little dish,” she said.
“And started saying all these things and the corner that she went to the
dish cracked. … (The ghost) hated my roommate. … No (I didn’t tell the
roommate), I moved out. I feel terrible, but I couldn’t say it doesn’t
like you. I mean that would be terrible.”
It's believed that nearly 9,000 people
died in the Jerome Grand Hotel during its previous life as United Verde
Hospital. That's a lot of sickness, pain and death.
There must be some residual spirit energy left over from all those souls, right? Right.
Ghostly
figures, sounds, unexplained orbs of light and other paranormal
activity permeate the halls of this ghost-hunting cult mecca high above
the turn-of-the-century Yavapai County mining town making it one of the
most haunted places in Arizona.
“We were skeptical
and didn't believe it in the beginning,” says general manager Chris
Altherr, whose father Bob and uncle Larry bought the boarded-up
30,000-square-foot building from the old Phelps Dodge Corporation in
1994 after laying fallow for more than 40 years. “We only had six rooms
open at first and immediately began receiving reports from guests
hearing voices and a (hospital gurney) in the hallways, but no one was
there.”
Scores of visitor accounts
Whether
or not you believe in ghosts — or more specifically ghosts at the
Jerome Grand — scores of visitors have signed guest books in the lobby
noting their experiences.
“We fill a 300-page journal each year,” Altherr says. “We have four or five of them right now.”
Activity
happens throughout the hotel, but the third floor in particular. Most
of the deaths occurred in the operating room there. The sound of a
hospital gurney, wheels across the floor, spook the uninitiated.
“We've made changes with carpet and you can still hear it at 3 in the morning,” Altherr says.
Guests also report the ghost of a cat on the third floor. Like a feline jumping onto the bed and walking around.
OREGON CITY, Ore. — It's almost Halloween, but things are already pretty spooky at an Oregon City marijuana shop.
Employees at Five Zero Trees have been seeing some strange things, and some think it might be haunted.
“It’s like, what's going to happen next?” budtender, Andy Gomez said.
In
August, Gomez was working at the counter by himself, when surveillance
video shows a glass tip jar slowly begin to slide off the edge of a
level counter, then fall off.
“As it happened, I kind of felt like someone was standing next to me like somebody was right here,” Gomez said.
Not long after that, surveillance cameras captured another strange happening.
The
video shows a pen cup on a different counter with no one around when
suddenly, the pens begin to move. To skeptics who think the video was
doctored, the store’s general manager said as a cannabis shop, that
would be against the law.
What
happens after we die? It’s a question that seems to have a million
answers, and one that has perplexed humans for thousands of years. In
the early days of photography some believed that the camera could be
used as a tool to connect with the spirit world.
Spirit photography began in the late 19th century, around the time
that the the spiritualism movement was gaining traction across Europe
and the United States. The photographers who practiced it claimed that
they could capture images of a portrait subjects and their deceased
loved ones in a single frame. The haunted images were a big hit and
spirit photographers like William H. Mummler, who charged ten dollars
for a photo—which was considered a huge amount of money at the time,
thrived.
“Photography
was very new at the time and people didn’t really understand how it
worked,” says Jolene Lupo, Manager of Manhattan’s Penumbra
Tintype Studio, a nonprofit dedicated to historical forms of
photography. “They knew that it could see more than the human eye could,
but they didn’t understand the boundaries of the medium.”
Sometimes ghosts would appear very realistic, with their arms draped
around the living portrait sitter. In other images the spirits would
appear as no more than cotton-like whisps. One of Mummler’s most well
known images featured first lady Mary Todd Lincoln sitting with a
translucent image of her husband Abraham Lincoln—five years after he was
assassinated.
“Each photographer had their own trademark,” says Lupo. The haunted
frames were obviously—at least to our modern minds—a result of some kind
of manipulation: chemical, in-camera or something done in the darkroom.
Every photographer seemed to have a few tricks for making the ghosts
appear.
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti. The Abominable Snowman. Stories of large,
hairy creatures appearing to be half man and half ape have been told
around campfires for hundreds of years.
In the folklore of some Native American tribes, the beasts are said
to be peaceful, supernatural beings with intelligence and spiritual
powers. Other tribes, however, describe them as malevolent creatures who
attack humans, play dangerous tricks, or steal children.
For obvious reasons, the vast majority of mainstream scientists
maintain that the existence of such creatures is impossible. Yet
thousands of people have claimed to spot the mysterious hominids roaming
the woods of North America since the 1800s.
Eyewitness reports describe the creatures as bipedal primates that
are 6 to 10 feet tall and weigh at least 500 pounds. The footprints left
behind by Bigfoot (a singular and plural term) range in size from about
12 to 22 inches long. They are also thought to be non-aggressive
creatures, whose human-like intelligence and shyness make them elusive
and thus rarely seen.
A woman charged in the bizarre water-borne
burglary of a World War II-era submarine stuck in a murky Bergen County
river is a psychologist and ghost hunter with an apparent hobby of
exploring abandoned buildings.
Laura B. Palmese, 38, and Jon P. Stevens, 48, both of Connecticut,
swam to the USS Ling, which is moored in the Hackensack River, after
leaving their car at a nearby diner, city police said in a statement
Thursday.
The duo allegedly stole a lantern and a medical corps lieutenant's
shoulder lapel from the historic former Navy vessel on Aug. 11.
Palmese has worked as a member of Thames Society of Paranormal Investigations, a Connecticut-based team of ghost hunters who seek out the supernatural around the region.
"Our mission is to research, investigate, educate and provide
assistance to those who are experiencing the paranormal phenomenon," the
group website says.
The group's director, Shamus Denniston, insisted Palmese was not tracking down a spirit on the Ling for his team during the alleged burglary.
A worker at a nursing home in Chicago got the last laugh on his friends
and family who disbelieved his claims of seeing a ghost after he
produced security footage which seems to show the spirit in question. Jay Brown was working the overnight shift at a school last weekend when the bizarre event occurred.
He told friends and family how he saw a ghost walking through the halls of the deserted building.
But no one believed him.
So Jay, from Chicago, US, went back to work the next day to watch the CCTV footage in the hope it would help prove his claims. And he was left shocked by what he found.
A personal trainer got quite the fright when he filmed what he says was a
ghost, lurking in the window of a castle in England. "I didn't see the
figure until I watched the footage back, but the whole time I was in the
castle I felt something watching me."
In the eerie footage from September 8, there seems to be something
moving in the window before suddenly a figure appears – complete with
what look like glowing eyes.
Tony Ferguson tried to debunk his ‘scary’ encounter as another visitor
to Hurst Castle, Hampshire, playing a prank but discovered that the
window is only accessible through a tunnel ‘as narrow as a snooker cue’.
The 33 year old now believes the apparition to be the spirit of a former
castle caretaker that he also encountered on a previous visit to the
16th century artillery fort in 2017.
“Last
time I visited, it appeared like a white mist but this time it
obviously had the energy to actually take form,” Ferguson said. “I was
asking it to show itself and this white mist flew straight at my camera. You can see it almost reaching out like a hand.”

JIM THORPE, Pa. — The asking price — $749,000 — includes gallows,
nooses, handcuffs, the everlasting handprint of a hanged coal miner, and
possibly some ghosts who have good reason to be ticked off.
“Oh, we have ghosts here,” Betty Lou McBride said last week. “Tons of ghosts.”
McBride,
84, and husband Tom, 87, purchased the former Carbon County Jail in Jim
Thorpe in 1995 when it still housed prisoners, and took over once the
county moved the last of them to a new facility in Nesquehoning. The
McBrides have spent the last two decades running the imposing,
147-year-old stone building as The Old Museum Jail.
“We’ve been saying we were going to sell it for a long time, but it’s hard to let go,” she said.
The two-story, 27-cell jail
is tucked into a rocky hill atop Broadway in the quaint mining town
formerly known as Mauch Chunk on the Lehigh River. Pennsylvania has
plenty of old stone buildings where nothing much happened, but the jail
is on the National Register of Historic Places because of its unique and
ominous place in the history of labor unions in America.
In
the late 1800s, immigrants were pouring into Northeastern Pennsylvania
and heading down into the mines to extract anthracite coal. Faced with
low pay, meager living conditions and discrimination, Irish miners
turned to fraternal organizations such as the Ancient Order of
Hibernians for solidarity and, eventually, to fledgling trade unions to
organize.
“What
they were, basically, were miners who were just trying to get the mine
owners to treat them fairly,” said Karliene Zack, of the Mauch Chunk Museum down the street.
Visitors flock to the USS Lexington to get a look at the vintage WW2
ship and if you are lucky, you just may see more than you bargained for.
“There a bunch of stories that we just can’t discredit,” said Paranormal Tour Guide, Bill Miller.
The latest was a photo taken by a man visiting from Louisiana.
In the photo you can clearly see a shadow of a man, but is it a real ghost?
We contacted the man who took the photo, who swears it’s real, and
that reflection or shadow is not of a man standing by the display. There
was no one else around.
“Nothing in the room! There is nothing that can make that reflection.
I’m 5′ 3′ and 280 pounds. That’s defiantly not me in that reflection,”
said Will Smith.
One that the USS Lexington does not dispute and it is the most common and consistent sighting.
It takes place in the ship’s galley.
