Supernatural or Paranormal events have long been a newsworthy topic, attracting the attention of believers and skeptics alike.

Over the years, these stories become more and more embellished, and they are soon part of a community's lore. There are numerous fantastic examples of these Supernatural Sagas...

The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel

The true story behind “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” involves a young German girl named Anneliese Michel, born on September 21, 1952 in a small village in Bavaria. She was a young, beautiful woman on her way to a career in elementary education.

According to court findings, she experienced her first epileptic attack in 1969, and by 1973 was suffering from depression and considering suicide. Soon she was seeing the faces of demons on the people and things around her, and voices told her she was damned.

The first person to recognize that Anneliese Michel was possessed by demons was an older woman accompanying the girl on a pilgrimage. She noticed that Anneliese would not walk past a certain image of Jesus, refused to drink water from a holy spring and smelled bad — hellishly bad.

Under the influence of her demons, Michel ripped the clothes off her body, compulsively performed up to 400 squats a day, crawled under a table and barked like a dog for two days, ate flies, spiders and coal, bit the head off a dead bird and licked her own urine from the floor.

Smith Sisters Murdered Anonymously...

A boy named John Smith lived in Plainfield, Wisconsin. He was very fond of scary emails and pop-ups. Everyday he would find new ones and post them to everyone he knew. He even started making some himself and sending them to strangers. He loved to scare people on the net.

One-day on November 2007, he opened up his inbox and found a message that appeared to be from two young girls. They called themselves the “Smith Sisters” and told him they were his older sisters, which confused him because he was an only child. They said that years ago, they had lived in his house.

He replied, saying he didn’t have any sisters and told them to get lost and leave him alone. The next day, he received a chilling message with some photo attachments. The first photo was of two young girls.

The caption on it said Smith Sisters murdered anonymously.

The Blair Witch Mystery..!!


The Myth and Legend of the Blair Witch started in 1785 with an old woman who immigrated over to the States from Ireland. Her name was Elly Kedward. The town she settled in was then known as "Blair". The townspeople found out that she was luring the children into her house and drawing blood from them. And so in 1786 accused her of being a witch. Their punishment for her was to cast her out into the forest with no provisions in the middle of a harsh winter. They presumed she succumbed to the elements.
By the end of that winter most of the children of Blair had suddenly disappeared. The townsfolk blamed the witch and proclaimed the township of Blair and the Black Woods as cursed. The townsfolk soon abandoned Blair and vow to never mention Elly Kedward's name again. In 1809 a rare tome called THE BLAIR WITCH CULT is published. It tells of bloodletting and how the entire town of Blair is cursed by the Witch.
The abandoned township is accidently stumbled upon in 1824 when the railway is due to go through there. The new founders rename the town Burkittsville and the township is once again settled. One year later a small girl named Eileen Treacle is pulled down by a ghostly hand into Tappy East Creek. There are 11 witnesses who watched as the small child is dragged under the shallow water. Her body is never recovered. For thirteen days afterwards the creek is reported as being polluted with an oily substance along with masses of stick figures. A farmer reports of having to move cattle from the creek area as cows that have drunk from it have died or had calves with birth defects.

The Curse of Amen-Ra...


Of all the tales of the supernatural, this one is perhaps the best documented, the most disturbing and the most difficult to explain. The Princess or Priestess (no record of a Princess though) of Amen-Ra lived some 1,050 years Before Christ. When she died, she was laid in an ornate wooden coffin and buried deep in a vault at Luxor, on the banks of the Nile.
In the late 1880s, 4 rich young Englishmen, visiting the excavations at the Luxor were invited to buy an exquisitely fashioned mummy case containing the remains of Princess (or Priestess) of Amen-Ra. They drew lots. They paid several thousand pounds and had the coffin taken to their hotel. A few hours later, one of the 4 men was seen walking out towards the desert. He never returned. The next day, the 2nd man was shot by an Egyptian servant accidentally. His arm was so severely wounded it had to be amputated. The 3rd man in the foursome found on his return home, that the bank holding his entire savings had failed. He committed suicide later. The 4th guy suffered a severe illness, lost his job and was reduced to selling matches on the street.

The curse of the Crying Boy Painting..!!


The legend around The Crying Boy painting is as grim as it gets. The stories began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred all around England. When the debris was sifted through the only item that remained uncharred was a painting of a little boy with a tear rolling down his cheek in every fire. Could this all be coincidence?

In 1988, a mysterious explosion destroyed the home of the Amos family in Heswall, England. When firemen sifted through the burnt-out shell of the house, they found a framed picture, entitled ‘The Crying Boy’, which was a portrait of an angelic-looking boy with a sorrowful expression and a tear rolling down his cheek. But the picture was not even singed by the blaze.

The Slit-Mouth Woman


Years ago in Japan, there was a tradition where people would gather in a room and light 100 candles. Then they would start telling scary tales and ghost stories. At the end of each story, they would extinguish a candle. The room would grow darker and darker and the stories would become scarier and scarier. At the end of the final ghostly story, the room would be in complete darkness.

This is the story of Kuchisake Onna, also known as “The Slit-Mouth Woman”:

Kuchisake Onna aka The Slit-Mouth Woman, is a scary Japanese urban legend about a disfigured Japanese woman who brandishes a large scissors and preys on children. She has an enormous slit mouth, which extends from ear to ear in a horrible, permanent smile.

Halloween: Demonic ritual or just good fun..??!!


Halloween
, also called the "Christian feast of Hallowmas", "Allhallows", or "All Saints day". It is a time for Ghosts, Skeletons, Pumpkins, and of course Candy. A holiday generally accepted as secular in nature and a time for partying and harmless fun. But is that all there is to Halloween? There is some concern among parents' whether to allow children to participate in Halloween festivities based on the holiday’s history. So, is Halloween just a commercialized holiday, or is it really a “Celebration of the Dead”? To make an informative decision, one has to look at the relevant history.

Halloween is connected all the way back to the ancient Druids. The Druids believed that on this evening the lord of the dead called upon hosts for evil spirits. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

Halloween can also be traced back to a pagan holiday called the “Festival of Samhain”, which was celebrated by the Celts of Great Britain, Ireland, and France. It was believed that on October 31st, Samhain, the Celtic God of the Dead, would allow the souls, evil and good, of those who had died to return to their dwellings. To keep the evil spirits away, the ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear masks. The devils, witches and demons were also believed to be moving about at the height of their powers.
