A four-year-old Virginian boy is being inhabited by the spirit of a deceased soldier tragically killed in a bombing.
His mother states that he’s talking about things that a boy his age wouldn’t know anything about.
In a moment straight out of the creepiest movie his mother states:
““He just starts crying hysterically and I say “What’s wrong Andrew?” and he says, “Why did you let me die in that fire?'”
So…Damien from the Omen, the twins from the Shining…and Andrew from Virginia.

Jonathon Bright, a paranormal investigator who’s started adding ‘Monster Hunter’ to his resume – because who WOULDN’T want ‘Monster Hunter’ on their resume – has started sharing a photo that might be the famous camera-shy creature that has become legendary.
“Three years ago, I came to Scotland to investigate the Nessie legend and took thousands of photographs. It took me six months to look at them all and I found this one which I showed when I spoke at the Scottish Paranormal Festival in Stirling this week. After I had finished there, I came north to spend more time searching for an answer to the Nessie story. My picture is a talking point. Some people will say it is physical and the monster, others will say it is a trick of the water, others will say it is a hoax.”
It would be great if this was in fact the mysterious animal that everyone says lives in the Loch.
It would be even greater if a professional photographer with ninja-like focusing skills and a decent camera would add “Monster Hunter’ to their resume.

Two fishermen in Wisconsin have come forward to say they’ve captured something strange in a series of photographs they took of an always-magical (and probably portals to other dimensions) double rainbow.
After getting home and examining their photos of an often mythic and elusive double rainbow, one of the men noticed what appeared to be a figure with glowing eyes.
Not only did the double rainbow cause the fisherman to see some kind of apparition…
The spill-over from the magnitude of the double rainbow also caused the news station to make one of the strangest news pieces we’ve ever seen about an alleged ghost sighting.

Back in 1912, a little house in Iowa became a grisly crime scene where 8 people (6 of them were children). They were all beaten and stabbed to death and to this day, no one has found out who the murderer was. Over the last couple of decades the house has become a destination for paranormal investigators from every corner of the globe.
It’s probably going to get even more traffic now that a paranormal investigator has apparently stabbed himself.
Just after midnight local police got a call from the house stating that a lone paranormal investigator from Wisconsin, Robert Laursen Jr.,needed medical attention from an apparently self-inflicted stab wound.
Details on his condition and his own story about what happened have yet to be released.

Like an elaborate version of the famous Pepper’s Ghost effect where a projection appears to interact with a real world person, this incredible floating haptic interface will absolutely blow your mind…
Because unlike Pepper’s Ghost? You’re actually able to physically feel and interact with said projection!
During the video several scientists working on the project show how it works by giving quick demonstrations to illustrate what’s actually happening. What’s actually happening is nothing short of witchcraft or sorcery or the future kissing your eyeballs and saying, “I’m finally here, guys! Jetpacks and hoverboards due out next week!”
Sure it’s overkill instead of just touching an actual monitor but think about doctors ‘feeling’ their way through a replicated cadaver to learn about the body or perform practice surgeries without it being detrimental to an actual living being?
But what we’re all really thinking is, “When do we get a Danger Room or a Holo-freaking-deck already!?”

Let’s just call it quits, people.
Over the last couple of weeks, Mother Nature has decided to remind all of us who’s really in charge.
Here’s the rundown of recently terrifying yet gentle reminders from her:
Deadly Spiders vs Homeowners:
After purchasing a house from the previous owners who failed to disclose that it was actually a destination spot for the deadly brown recluse spider, the latest owners began discovering spiders everywhere until they were eventually bursting out of the walls.
A conservative estimate of 6,000 spiders were said to be lurking in the house.
[ABC News]
Ants vs Tire-Changing Human:
Then there’s THIS incident where some human needed to change a tire on the side of the road and got in the way of a bunch of ants’ business.
[CBS News]
And finally…
Bees vs Landscapers:
In Arizona several landscapers got too close to a 100 pound hive of Africanized Bees that had taken up residence in the comfy attic of a home the landscapers were working around.
[ABC News]
So…what have we learned this week?
To be terrified of basically everything around us.

In a small town in California called Wasco something odd has quietly started appearing…
Clowns.
You’d read that and think, “That’s great! My kids LOVE clowns!”
Then you’d hear the more of the story and say, “They only come out at night?”
We’d share a few more details about the clowns, how they don’t talk to anyone, just quietly wander around town, smile all the time with menacing teeth and then we’d watch your smiling expression disintegrate as you draw your children closer to you and vow to never visit Wasco at night.
Ever.
Or at least until the whole clown thing blows over.
If it ever does.
And if Pennywise is sighted.

As Google continues to document every crevice of our world with a camera so armchair world travelers can sit at home in their underwear and globe-trot, they’re realizing that a car with a first-gen Imperial Probe Droid mounted on its roof can’t go quite anywhere.
Google decided to ‘street view’ the Arabian desert of Liwa.
Since cars can’t tread sand, they strapped their all-seeing-eye to the back of a camel and let some poor schmuck wander the desert so we could all virtually enjoy the experience of being stranded in a desert without all those little inconveniences like thirst, dehydration, delirium and…you know dying alone in the desert.
