Haunted Headlines: 3/16/18-3/23/18

Aaand…I’ve realized my system for labeling the dates of these Haunted Headlines isn’t perfect.

Stories hit my feed sometimes a day or two after they’ve been published. So, there will be some overlap.

I avoided it with the Haunted Headlines for 3/3/18-3/9/18 and 3/10/18-3/16/18, but this week stories from Friday came in so it won’t be 3/17/18-3/23/18 as I’d planned.

Ah, growing pains. Still figuring this all out…

Besides, the dates don’t matter as much as highlighting the best stories though, right? That’s what the purpose of these posts are really all about. (Plus, it makes it easier for me to decide what headlines to use for the Fake News or Not Game on the radio show!)

Paranormal Experiences Come From Another Dimension, Claims Scientist –  Source: Outer Places

Professor Bernard Carr is a professor of mathematics and astronomy at the Queen Mary University of London. He studied under Stephen Hawking and earned his doctorate at Cambridge. This is not a man to make up mumbo-jumbo to gain attention, nor is he in the habit of spouting half-baked theories about ghosts and aliens fabricated from baseless speculation.

So when Professor Carr says that paranormal activity is real and that it’s actually happening in another dimension, it’s important not to dismiss him as yet another conspiracy theorist trying to become internet famous.

In a talk at the Euro-PA Conference, Carr explained why we shouldn’t be too quick to dismiss so-called paranormal events.

I would ask you all to look up Bold Street in Liverpool where through the years numerous people have claimed to have gone back in time, mostly to the 50s and 60s.

Not only have they gone back and witnessed the past but have interacted and spoken with people who look just as puzzled.

This phenomena isn’t just local to Bond Street, in fact it is a worldwide phenomena, and one that would seem has also been encountered here to in our very own Stoke-on-Trent.

The webseries is a ghastly comedy, dealing with the sensitive topics of anxiety and suicide with an unworldly sense of humour.

Give me a ghost, poltergeist, even a witch, any day – but X is the bane of many an investigator of the paranormal.

X is the variable I assign to those things that are truly unknown; entities that swan into our mundane sphere and vex us.

They are weird beings that are as inexplicable as the origin of the universe and they make a mockery of our common sense view of reality.

The following story is just one example of X among us.

Pennsylvania UFO researcher 99 percent sure aliens exist – Source: Reading Eagle

Case 57,000 is the most mysterious that Dan Medleycott, a researcher for the Pennsylvania Mutual UFO Network, has ever dealt with. A man claimed to see multiple blue orbs in the sky, along with an airplane. FAA radar data of the event was later sent to an aviation expert in Colorado, who said that the pilot narrowly avoided a collision with the orbs.

“If I could say they were extraterrestrial, I’d be out of business,” Medleycott said. “I have data that convinces me that a lot of what we have is extraterrestrial.”

Medleycott says that he’s 99 percent sure that aliens exist. The other 1 percent, he says, is because they could be interdimensional beings. He joined MUFON after seeing a UFO in 2005, one of “four or five” he’s seen in person.

‘Demon Doll’ Video Goes Viral – Source: Coast to Coast AM

A bizarre video circulating online has become something of a viral sensation by way of its eerie star: a creepy demonic-looking doll.

The nearly-two-minute-long piece of footage features the nightmarish toy propped atop a grave with a baby bottle filled with red liquid, ostensibly meant to be blood, sitting next to it.

And, chillingly, the doll’s eyes seem to follow the camera in a rather unsettling fashion as the view circles around it to the tune of some spooky horror music as a soundtrack.

Ghost Adventures Host Zak Bagans To Produce New Charles Manson Doc – Source: We Got This Covered

Despite dying last year, it looks as if 2018 is set to be a big one for Charles Manson.

Grabbing the most attention is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which apparently revolves around the neighbours to the house in which the notorious Manson murders took place. Following shortly on that film’s heels will be the biopic Charlie Says, to be directed by American Psycho‘s Mary Harron. And now, on top of all that, it’s just been announced that we’re to get Manson’s Bloodline as well, a documentary about his life and death.

BOZO THE CLOWN ENTERTAINER DIES AT AGE 89 – Source: IGN

Yes, I realize this isn’t exactly “haunted” news, but as beloved as Bozo was, he still scared some. And perhaps inspired Stephen King’s Pennywise? (I’m not the only one who sees a similarity, right?)

Bozo the Clown entertainer and television personality Frank Avruch has died at age 89.

Avruch’s family said in a statement to WCVB-TV that Avruch passed away Tuesday from heart disease at his Boston home. Avruch played Bozo the Clown from 1959 to 1970 and was the first nationally-syndicated Bozo the Clown. Bozo is a clown character who was especially popular in the 1960s.

Courtney Mroch

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
