2025/07/19

In the dense jungles of Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, stories have circulated for generations about the Orang Pendek—a mysterious bipedal ape said to roam the forest floor. Witnesses from tribal hunters to Western researchers describe a 4–5-foot-tall creature, covered in dark hair, walking upright and feeding on roots, grubs, and forest fruits. Unlike spirits or shapeshifters of folklore, the Orang Pendek is treated locally as a real, flesh-and-blood animal. For over a century, footprints,

In the dense, pine-shrouded forests near Paulding, Michigan, a mysterious light has appeared on the horizon almost nightly since the 1960s—hovering, bobbing, and sometimes changing colour. Known locally as the Paulding Light, this ghostly phenomenon has drawn thousands to a dead-end road in the Ottawa National Forest, where visitors report seeing what looks like a spectral lantern moving through the trees.

Between 1974 and 1989, the quiet suburb of West Pittston, Pennsylvania became the epicenter of one of America’s most controversial and terrifying hauntings.

Badlands National Park in South Dakota is known for its harsh terrain, ancient fossils, and striking rock formations — but it also has a darker side. For generations, visitors and locals have reported eerie experiences: unexplained lights, voices on the wind, and sightings of a ghostly woman said to cry out across the plains. Known as the “Badlands Banshee,” her wail is believed to be a warning — or a lure. Native American legends and settler stories point to the land as a place of spiritual power,

In the summer of 1995, a quiet bungalow in Rochdale, England, became the center of one of Britain’s most baffling modern hauntings.
