Where's the Voynich Manuscript?
[quote]The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious, undeciphered illustrated book. It is thought to have been written in the 15th or 16th century.[1] The author, script, and language of the manuscript remain unknown.
Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt any portion of the text). This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax—a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.
The book is named after the Polish-American book dealer Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912. Currently the Voynich manuscript is stored in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University as item "MS 408". The first facsimile edition was published in 2005.[/quote]

Here is a true story that happened to me.
A couple of years ago, our class went on a school trip to an activity centre. It was a very old castle out in the scottish highlands. It was very eerie there. One day, me and some friends were exploring when we came across this small room. It was very narrow, like a hallway that lead nowhere. At the door was a table, with some red gooey stuff at the bottom corned, like someone had hit their head. At the end of the hallway and to the left was a bathroom. As a joke one of my mates sat on the toilet. The smile was soon wiped from his face, he went pale and said he felt sick. We got the fuck out of there, but not before we heard a growl, coming from a statue of a dog.
A few days later, we were outside, again exploring, when we came across a gravestone. It had a picture of a dog on it. Needless to say, this made us want to find more ghosts. So, late at night, we slipped out of our dorm to look around. There was this staircase leading up to a restricted area, so obviously we had to look there. This guy went up first without us. he peered around the corner, and then ran back down the stairs screaming. We all ran back to our dorm and asked what the hell he saw, and he swore he saw a girl sitting with an ouija board. We didn't sleep well that night.

my name is John and I live in the Netherlands. I live in a big house that was built around 1940. I sleep in the attic of the house. In the early years my gramps was using it for mixing up chemicals for his company. He died 10 years ago, very suddenly. Ever since I spent a lot of time in that room just as he did. A while back I took this photo in my room. I was smoking a ''J'' at the time (it's legal in Holland) and my thoughts where on the spirit world. I decided to take a picture of the smoke I blew out my mouth. When this came out I was shocked!! I see a person in the picture and its not in a happy mood! Other people see more than just one person. I don't know why but every since I can remember I have felt spirits. I am aged 26 now and at my 14th I had my first encounter with a shadow figure, I have never been that scared in my life. In our house the toilet flushes on its own on a regular basis. Lights will flash when I have discussions going on with my family. We are used to that now. Anyway, I wanted to share this pic with you guys.[/quote]

I have this nasty memory when I was a kid. I was about 7-8 years old.
I woke up during the night from a bad dream(I can't remember what it was, but I know it was quite fucking freaky), and run from the upstairs to my mom's and dad's bedroom. Which was on the 1st floor of the building. I dug up between them near their feets and while pulling the duvet I noticed that the closet, which was at the opposite side of the bed, was open, the closet being painted white gloomed from even the slightest light, thus making everything that was any darker colour looking all black against it. And from the dark background made of clothes I noticed a pair of of eyes.
Well, I was a bit scared at first, but I figured it must be the metal pole where you put the jackets etc hanging on, and that it was reflecting the light from outside. And I continued to try and fall back into sleep. But everytime I changed my sides I took a look at those pair of lights in the closet, and everytime I did so I felt sudden need to scream and run.
Eventually I fell into sleep, and in the morning told my parents about it.
Founds out that they hadn't put anything in the closet. It was empty.
I really want to download an MP3 of Gloomy Sunday so I can use it as my ringtone.

[QUOTE=hl2poo;12015425]For that "Hell is real" video, when they talked about those worms at the bottom of the sea, that's just bullshit. There are also crabs and shrimps living down there in the same places too. What about them? Are they some kind of demon crustacean living near Hell or something? Also, those screams could easily be faked. They could've recorded some screaming during some riot or something. And, since Hell is on Earth, where the fuck is Heaven? At the beginning about that patient going to Hell, maybe he was trying to prevent himself from dying. Maybe he was so scared, he thought that he would go to Hell when he dies. Who knows.
Here's a picture of those worms if you are interested.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Roanoke Colony.
[quote]In 1584, Raleigh dispatched an expedition to explore the eastern coast of North America for an appropriate location. It was led by Phillip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe, who chose the Outer Banks of modern North Carolina as an ideal location from which to raid the Spanish, who had settlements to the south, and proceeded to make contact with local Native Americans, the Croatan tribe of the Carolina Algonquians.
First group of settlers
The following spring, a colonizing expedition composed solely of men, many of them veteran soldiers who had fought to establish English rule in Ireland, was sent to establish the colony. The leader, Sir Richard Grenville, was assigned to explore the area further, establish the colony, and return to England with news of the venture's success. The establishment of the colony was initially postponed, perhaps because most of the food stores were ruined when the lead ship struck a shoal upon arrival at the Outer Banks. After the initial exploration of the mainland coast and the native settlements there, the natives in the village of Aquascogoc were blamed for stealing a silver cup. In retaliation, the last village visited was sacked and burned, and its weroance (tribal chief) executed by burning.
Despite this incident and a lack of food, Grenville decided to leave Ralph Lane and approximately 75 men to establish the English colony at the north end of Roanoke Island, promising to return in April 1586 with more men and fresh supplies. They debarked on August 17, 1585.
As April passed, there was no sign of Grenville's relief fleet. The colony was still in existence in June when Sir Francis Drake paused on his way home from a successful raid in the Caribbean and offered to take the colonists back to England, an offer they accepted. The relief fleet arrived shortly after Drake's departure with the colonists. Finding the colony abandoned, Grenville returned to England with the bulk of his force, leaving behind a small detachment both to maintain an English presence and to protect Raleigh's claim to Virginia.
Second group of settlers
In 1587, Raleigh dispatched another group of colonists. These 117 colonists were led by John White, an artist and friend of Raleigh's who had accompanied the previous expeditions to Roanoke. The new colonists were tasked with picking up the fifteen men left at Roanoke and settling farther north, in the Chesapeake Bay area; however, no trace of them was found, other than the bones of a single man. The one local tribe still friendly towards the English, the Croatans on present-day Hatteras Island, reported that the men had been attacked, but that nine had survived and sailed up the coast in their boat.
The settlers landed on Roanoke Island on July 22, 1587. On August 18, White's daughter Eleanor gave birth to the first English child born in the Americas, Virginia Dare. Before her birth, White reestablished relations with the neighboring Croatans and tried to reestablish relations with the tribes that Ralph Lane had attacked a year previously. The aggrieved tribes refused to meet the new colonists. Shortly thereafter, a colonist named George Howe was killed by natives while searching for crabs alone in Albemarle Sound. Knowing what had happened during Ralph Lane's tenure in the area and fearing for their lives, the colonists convinced Governor White to return to England to explain the colony's situation and ask for help. There were approximately 115 colonists — the 114 remaining men and women who had made the trans-Atlantic passage and the newborn baby, Virginia Dare — when White returned to England.
Crossing the Atlantic as late in the year as White did was a considerable risk, as evidenced by the claim of pilot Simon Fernandez that their vessel barely made it back to England. Plans for a relief fleet were initially delayed by the captains' refusal to sail back during the winter. Then, the coming of the Spanish Armada led to every able ship in England being commandeered to fight, which left White with no seaworthy vessels with which to return to Roanoke. He did manage, however, to hire two smaller vessels deemed unnecessary for the defense and set out for Roanoke in the spring of 1588.
This time, White's attempt to return to Roanoke was foiled by human nature and circumstance; the two vessels were small, and their captains greedy. They attempted to capture several vessels on the outward-bound voyage to improve the profitability of their venture, but were captured themselves and their cargo taken. With nothing left to deliver to the colonists, the ships returned to England.
The discovery of "Croatoan"
Because of the continuing war with Spain, White was not able to mount another resupply attempt for three more years. He finally gained passage on a privateering expedition that agreed to stop off at Roanoke on the way back from the Caribbean. White landed on August 18, 1590 on his granddaughter's third birthday, but found the settlement deserted. His men could not find any trace of some ninety men, seventeen women, and eleven children, nor was there any sign of a struggle or battle of any kind. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post of the fort and "Cro" carved into a nearby tree. In addition, there were two skeletons buried. All the houses and fortifications were dismantled. Before the colony disappeared, White established that if anything happened to them, they would carve a Maltese cross on a tree nearby, indicating that their disappearance could have been forced. White took this to mean that they had moved to Croatoan Island, but he was unable to conduct a search; a massive storm was brewing and his men refused to go any further. The next day, they left.[/quote]
