That cave story was pretty alright. I get why there's no real ending, but it still sucks that way.
Fucking creepy pasta + 4:30am doesn't mix :ohdear:

[quote]The first accounts of Spring Heeled Jack were made in London in 1837 and the last reported sighting is said in most of the secondary literature to have been made in Liverpool in 1904.[3][4]
The first report of Jack was from a businessman returning home late one night from work, who told of being suddenly shocked as a mysterious figure jumped with ease over the high railings of a cemetery, landing right in his path. No attack was reported, but the submitted description was disturbing: a muscular man with devilish features including large and pointed ears and nose, and protruding, glowing eyes.
Later, in October 1837, a girl by the name of Mary Stevens was walking to Lavender Hill, where she was working as a servant, after visiting her parents in Battersea. On her way through Clapham Common, according to her later statements, a strange figure leapt at her from a dark alley. After immobilising her with a tight grip of his arms, he began to kiss her face, while ripping her clothes and touching her flesh with his claws, which were, according to her deposition, "cold and clammy as those of a corpse". In panic, the girl screamed, making the attacker quickly flee from the scene. The commotion brought several residents who immediately launched a search for the aggressor, who could not be found.
The next day, the leaping character is said to have chosen a very different victim near Mary Stevens' home, inaugurating a method that would reappear in later reports: he jumped in the way of a passing carriage, causing the coachman to lose control, crash, and severely injure himself. Several witnesses claimed that he escaped by jumping over a nine foot-high (2.7 m) wall while babbling with a high-pitched, ringing laughter.
Gradually, the news of the strange character spread, and soon the press and the public gave him a name: Spring-heeled Jack[/quote]

eat my shit, automerge[/QUOTE]
i LOVE number stations, I used to have an old shitty ham radio that allowed me to pick some up, among other things (such as normal radio broadcasts and tv audio transmissions)
the best one is uvb-76, which if you havent read up on it- prepare to crap your pants.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buzzer[/url]
[quote]UVB-76 is the callsign of a shortwave radio station that usually broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz (AM full carrier). It's known among radio listeners by the nickname "The Buzzer". It features a short, monotonous buzz tone (help·info), repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day. The station has been observed since around 1982.[1]
In rare occasions the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place. Only three such events have been noted.
There is much speculation; however, the actual purpose of this station remains unknown.[/quote]
there is another one called the yosimite sam, and a whole bunch of creepy stuff on that as well. it's completely different from other number stations in the fact that it doesnt use numbers at all, it uses an audioc clip of some old looney tunes episode where bugs bunny talks about taking a left turn at albequerque (or however its spelled) and then yosimite sam talking about blowing him to smithereens. The actual station IS located in new mexico, and a group of people one day actually tracked it down but were almost arrested by military police or some shit, which makes it all the more creepy.

heres the story about the people finding the broadcast station: [url]http://www.southgatearc.org/news/mar2005/ham_spy.htm[/url]
I'm scared of this thread :ohdear:
Alot of these are quite interesting, I'm going to have to re-read the entire thread tonight. The number stations are interesting, possibly being related to spies, and whatnot.

Just who are these mysterious characters and why do they do such odd things?
[img]http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/news/bcct/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2009/June/Wednesday/CR_Camp_Invent_01_MS_0701_.jpg[/img]
This sounds like paranormal activity.
The Badage Boys, though they may seem fake, are strange. Some time in, 2008 I believe, these post started to appear. They told of a group of vampires called the Badage Boys, showing images that are obviously covered up to prevent the showing of their true faces. The truth seeker posting these stories was banned by the only forum not observed by the Masons. We have banned him time and time again. And we did not heed his warnings. May Cthulhu have mercy on our souls.
[QUOTE=davidofmk771;19361967]
Another, I find questionable. A strange member on the Unexplained-Mysteries.com forums posted this. At the end of the Halo 1 bonus cinematic, a URL was shown. The website, appearing on Screensavers, was filled with overlapping text and pictures, strange code, and a phone number. The number was called, and an answering machine said "Sorry, I guess they got me, I wont be back for a long time."[/QUOTE]
Was the site by any chance ilovebees.com?
This was an ARG to promote Halo 2. People following it could actually affect the story as it advanced.
Anyone know of a blue bird with a 1 meter long "tail" about the size of a crow that could live in Germany? I once saw something like this (a couple of them flying) but I could never identify it. (I'm not trolling either, probably the only unexplained thing I ever saw)
Searching on google, it seems I'm not the first one to see them either.
Ok, it might have been a couple of Black-throated Magpie Jay birds:
[img]http://www.birdpicsandmore.com/Black-throatedMagpie-Jay2009Ene20-21.jpg/Black-throatedMagpie-Jay2009Ene20-21-full.jpg[/img]
Probably escaped or something since they're not native to germany.
I actually once saw a really huge fireball some 20 meters up in the sky across a road. Because it was night and I didn't know the area well, I concluded that maybe there was a nearby industry chimney or something that could emit freaking fireballs.
I went back in daylight some time after just to discover this occurrence had happened several meters above some low houses.
Has anyone finished Alien Abuction at Lake county i never finished it
I saw it, I lol'd pretty much all the way through.
I think one great mystery many people might wonder about is what happened to tank man.

[quote]Little is publicly known of the man's identity or that of the commander of the lead tank. Shortly after the incident, the British tabloid the Sunday Express named him as Wang Weilin (王维林), a 19-year-old student[6] who was later charged with "political hooliganism" and "attempting to subvert members of the People's Liberation Army."[7] Numerous theories have sprung up as to the man's identity and current whereabouts.[8]
There are several conflicting stories about what happened to him after the demonstration. In a speech to the President's Club in 1999, Bruce Herschensohn—former deputy special assistant to President Richard Nixon—reported that he was executed 14 days later; other sources say he was executed by firing squad a few months after the Tiananmen Square protests.[5] In Red China Blues: My Long March from Mao to Now, Jan Wong writes that the man is still alive and is hiding in mainland China.
The government of the People's Republic of China has made few statements about the incident or the people involved. In a 1990 interview with Barbara Walters, then-CCP General Secretary Jiang Zemin was asked what became of the man. Jiang first stated (through an interpreter), "I can't confirm whether this young man you mentioned was arrested or not," and then replied in English, "I think never killed" [sic].[9] A June 2006 article in the Hong Kong Apple Daily stated that there are rumours that the man is now living in Taiwan.[8][/quote]

Huh, I always thought the guy was gunned down immediately afterward.

The two posted pictures won awards and both were smuggled out of the country. It's all on the wiki.
The guy was not gunned on sight. He was taken away by two stranger into the crowd. Noone ever found out what happened after. Some say he's still alive. Other say they executed him. China never mentioned capturing him.

And now, the greatest mystery of all . . .
. . . Who cut the fucking cheese.
This one is pretty cool too.
[quote=Wiki]The Bélmez Faces or the Faces of Bélmez is an apparently paranormal phenomenon in a private house in Spain which started in 1971 when residents claimed to see images of faces appear in the concrete floor of the house. Such images have continuously formed and disappeared on the floor of the home since that time.
The appearances in Bélmez began on August 23, 1971, when María Gómez Cámara claimed that a human face formed spontaneously on her cement kitchen floor. María's husband, Juan Pereira and their son, Miguel, destroyed the image with a pick axe and new cement was laid down. However, the Pereira story goes, a new face formed on the floor. The mayor of Bélmez was informed and forbade the destruction of the new face. Instead, the floor cement was cut out and taken for study.[/quote]

This is why you don't let those punk kids into the wet cement areas.
[QUOTE=davidofmk771;19390103]This is why you don't let those punk kids into the wet cement areas.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, they stick their goddamn noses into everything.
Not a well known mystery, I've only told a few other people, but a weird story none-the-less. I live on one of the barrier islands on Florida, therefore we don't have alot of wild animals like foxes and stuff. I was riding home with my mom and all of a sudden she stopped the car as fast as possible, I looked up only to see something, with lighting fast speed, run infront of our car and vanish into some bushes. I never got a great view of it, but I did see it's tail. Giant and fuzzy, like a fox, like 50 feet from my house. Then, about a year or two later, they same thing happened, only my dad was driving (He wasn't there before) and it happened again, further up the street with one major change... Instead of a long fox like tail, it had a long rat like tail. Both times it was fast enough to outrun the car by inches. Nobody else has reported it.
tl;dr: Some big thing ran infront of my our car twice, once with a fuzzy tail, once with a rat-like tail.
[QUOTE=Reborn9;19273723][b]The Tunguska Event[/b]
The Tunguska Event was an unexplained, very powerful explosion that occured on 0 hours 13 minutes 35 seconds Greenwich Mean Time (around 7:14 a.m. local time) on June 30, 1908 near the Podkammenaya Tunguska River.
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Russia-CIA_WFB_Map--Tunguska.png/400px-Russia-CIA_WFB_Map--Tunguska.png[/img]
Nobody knows for sure what the cause of the explosion was, although it is commonly believed to have been caused by the airburst of a large meteoroid or comet.
Others believe that it might have been caused by an alien spacecraft or weapon, a chunk of antimatter annihilating itself in the atmosphere or an explosion of natural gas.
The flash from the explosion was so bright one could read a newspaper in its light in London, at night.
Due to the mysterious nature of this event and the fact that Russia remains very estranged with the rest of the world no scientific expeditions have been conducted to survey the area for clues on what might have happened there, or perhaps the Russians are hiding something. Who knows...

[b]MELONHEADS:[/b]
The melon head stories of Ohio are primarily associated with the Cleveland suburb of Kirtland. According to local lore, the melon heads were originally orphans under the watch of a mysterious figure known as Dr. Crow (sometimes spelled Crowe or Kroh). Crow is said to have performed unusual experiments on the children, who developed large, hairless heads and malformed bodies. Some accounts claim that the children were already suffering from hydrocephalus, and that Crow injected even more fluid into their brains. Eventually, the legend continues, the children killed Crow, burned the orphanage, and retreated to the surrounding forests. Today, some believe that the melon heads may be sighted along Wisner Road in Kirtland, and Chardon Township. The legend has been popularized on the Internet, particularly on the websites Creepy Cleveland and DeadOhio, where users have offered their own versions of the story.
[QUOTE=Reborn9;19273980]My friends dad used to be a trucker and one time he did a shipment with his friend and while crossing near the Chernobyl exclusion zone on the way to Kiev they saw a bizzarre animal which they described as ''similar to a very large bird with shiny eyes'' perched on top of a tree while stopping for a rest.
He is very reluctant to speak about this event for some reason. :geno:
Also i think the silver bridge thing is the scariest since the mothman was often sighted there just days before it collapsed.

Google ''The Black Bird of Chernobyl'', i guess that's where the story about Mothman being seen in Chernobyl came from.[/QUOTE]
