6 Chilling Paranormal Stories That Remain Unexplained Today
If there’s anything that’s spooky, it’s the unknown. To be given answers usually offers both closure and comfort – but what about that things that can’t be explained or answered? These 6 bone-chilling paranormal stories are examples of just that and unlike campfire scary stories, these are totally real.
1. Terry Cottle and Sonny Graham
A man named Terry Cottle killed himself in 1995 by shooting himself in the head. His heart was donated to 57-year-old Sonny Graham. When Graham met Cottle’s widow, the two fell instantly in love with each other. The two eventually married, but after a few years of marriage, the relationship started to follow similar patterns to Cottle. Graham eventually shot himself.
2. Clarissa Glen
18-year-old Clarissa Glenn claimed to experience odd, ghostly presences in her apartment in Cornwall, England. She had been told that the person who lived in her room before her had hanged himself. Glenn had a history of sleepwalking and ever since moving into this flat, had dreamt of hanging herself. One night, presumably in her sleep, she did just that, hanging herself from the rafters by her scarf.
3. The Children
Brian Bethel was parked outside a movie theatre when two young kids approached him. Bethel says he had never been so afraid in his life as he was at this time. The kids asked him for a ride home, and when Bethel started the car before giving them an answer, he claims their eyes turned black and they said they couldn’t get into the car unless they were invited. He drove away and later wrote about his experience on his blog, leading to people from all over the world to share similar encounters.
4. The Enfield Haunting
In 1973, a boy named Greg Garrett was playing in his backyard in Enfield, Illinois, when he was attacked. However, it wasn’t by a person, and the description of the attacker fit that of no animal anyone had ever heard of before. Thus began the legend of the Enfield Horror, Illinois’ own mythical monster. Every person who witnessed the beast describes it the same: three legs, five feet tall, taloned arms that curl in the front of the torso like a T-rex, and gleaming red eyes that peer out of the dark with a weird radiance.
5. Doris Bither
Nobody believed Doris Bither. She was a constantly drunk mother who abused her children because she herself was once abused. However, everything changed when several paranormal investigators decided to sit in a room to watch her struggle with the “entities” she claimed haunted her. When Doris asked a few paranormal investigators to observe her, they were skeptical at first but eventually agreed. Sure enough, Doris suddenly began cursing at three unseen entities. Suddenly auras began forming around her. A mysterious green mist began swirling around Doris. One of the investigators fainted. No one knows exactly what happened.
6. Teresita Bata
In 1976, a man named Allen Showery killed fellow hospital worker Teresita Basa by stabbing her and setting her body on fire. There was little evidence linking Showery to the murder. In fact, the only evidence police had was an account from the only witness…Teresita Basa. A year after Basa’s death, another worker at the same hospital, Remy Chua, claimed she saw an apparition of Basa haunting the lounge. Chua soon began to act uncharacteristically. She started singing songs she never knew and roamed the halls as if in a trance. One evening, she came to her family and spoke to them in Basa’s voice, naming Showery as her murderer. Sure enough, when police investigated Showery’s home, they found many of Basa’s belongings, forcing Showery to confess. To this day, no one can explain how or why this happened to Remy Chua.
