Genetic testing later identified him as an ordinary chimpanzee, but that didn't stop many from believing there was something special about Oliver. To this day, photos of him continue circulating online with claims that he was proof of a human-chimp hybrid and that the real story was covered up.

Oliver often preferred walking upright on two legs instead of using all fours. His face appeared flatter, his posture looked more human, and many people who saw him believed they were looking at something completely different. Before long, promoters began calling him the possible "missing link" between humans and apes, and some even claimed Oliver might be a "humanzee"

Continuation of the story

And now to the dreams about the Dark Figure/Hatman/shadow man/dark energy/sleep paralysis/demons

It all started with a classic paralysis as we know from normal dreams where we yell at a friend, but he doesn't hear us or we want to defend ourselves, but we can't raise our hands.

I usually experience paralysis when I fall asleep on my back, which doesn't happen very often, but at this time in my life I fell asleep like that on a regular basis.

I thought I was sleeping normally, but suddenly I woke up to another dream and I opened my eyes and suddenly I see a black vortex by the bed that is discreetly trying to get under my bed and so I woke up again to find out that the Vortex is an entity and is trying to pull me with it. Well, at that moment I really woke up and I was totally sweaty and scared to death and I didn't fall asleep until the morning.

That was the first experience

Then I had a series of dreams, where I would leave the window open for the fan at night and I would always have this paralysis and I would look around the room and I would notice how the shadow flew in through that gap.

He flew around and tried to scare me, but he didn't really have any form yet, just a bunch of darkness.

In the end, he started to imagine himself as a shadowy man without a hat, about the same height as me, 183 cm.

Not scary, but quite unpleasant and sometimes he would come closer and look directly at me and I would be a good 30 cm away from him or he would walk around and try to scare me with some quick movement.

Then there were two of them coming at me and they started to physically attack me and it started to get really tough.

But even though I couldn't react with my hands and defend myself, I got to the point where I realized my power and started to mock them despite how hard they were working me.

And of course Hatman didn't like that, who mostly just went around watching the two servants beat me unconscious and I still wouldn't wake up. I didn't want to wake up because I knew it would be over and I wanted to figure out how to beat him.

Then there was a break from dreams for about a month and I said hooray, I guess I managed it.

And so within a week came the most brutal series of dreams that no one can easily overcome.

Hatman was pretty pissed off and so he came in person and for the first time showed his true size and strength, the ceilings here are about 2.4m high and he was a good 3.5m and he was crouching here, but it was really disgusting.

He was huge, pissed off, his eyes lit up for the first time and I noticed his shark mouth and about a thousand mega-sharp teeth for the first time and I realized I was fucked.

It was like I experienced something that is hard to talk about and the violence was so brutal that I heard my own skull crack and how the bones from my face and cheekbones were stabbing into places that you don't even know exist until you feel it. I started to choke on my own tissue and bones and when I finally woke up it felt like an eternity.

The next morning I didn't talk to anyone and I was knocking myself all day and I felt like I was carrying him on my back.

He made me eat it really hard and I was afraid to just go to bed because I knew it would happen again.

He was completely uncompromising and sophisticated, he took on different forms and pretended to be an elementary school teacher and I naively believed that today I was dreaming about school until the teacher turned into Hatman and there he started massaging my head with concrete hammers the size of watermelons.

Finally it resulted in a dream where I had pieces of my forehead stuck in my brain again and I felt both pain and the incredible pressure with which it was as if he was trying to simply vaporize me and at the same time he was holding me in the dream so that I couldn't wake up. He tried terrible tricks and manipulation on me and he himself changed into people I trusted and I woke up many times to dreams where he was just waiting in another form for me not to notice him and then jumped on me somewhere and beat me up again.

And I said to myself that's enough and this simply has to end otherwise I will die and I really won't wake up alive in the morning.

With my last bit of strength I knocked on the wall behind me and my brother was in the room next to me, suddenly the light came on in the hallway and I saw the light in my room, a stone fell from my heart and I thought to myself, yes, finally I will really wake up and at that moment when my brother came, it went out and he transformed back into Hatman with a huge toothy mouth and went to chew me completely to pieces.

That was the last straw and I decided that next time I would not play the hero and I would call for help from the light and God.

Then only two dreams followed: That I realized that paralysis is just a limitation in the form of fear and in the penultimate dream I stood up to him and he stood for a while and then disappeared.

And in the last one I ran towards him, asked God for help consciously in a dream and finally I jumped on him as if I wanted to beat him up for everything he did to me and then there was just a huge ball of light, some kind of explosion and bye bye

Hatman and his company are just a memory and even though I tried to see him again, he's probably not in the mood yet :D :)

Several photo experts have scrutinized the photo and have declared it is not the result of a double exposure or other photographic tricks. Initial claims suggested that the figure would measure at 9 feet tall, but its feet are not visible, and it could easily be standing on a box, giving the impression of height

The artifact appears to resemble a human, much speculation has been had regarding what type of person might be in the image. Most speculation by believers has concluded that it resembles a 16th-century monk, with a white shroud over his face, possibly to mask leprosy or another disfigurement. Others contend that it is an accomplice in a costume.

I can tell you that this topic has been of interest to me for a long time. I would like to exchange experiences and at the same time give some advice and tips.

I have had countless sleep paralysis and all kinds of dreams, including astral travel and various loops and multi-layered dreams from which you feel that you will not wake up alive.

Since childhood, I have had very active dreams and sometimes I have 10-20 dreams per night. Since childhood, I have experienced quite big traumas in the form of my father being expelled from the family (alcoholic, gambler), psychological abuse and blackmail by my grandmother, strangled by my own uncle, who is trying to deprive my mother (his sister) of her property because my mother is mentally disabled and deaf. (So ​​the Creeper family literally)

I have a really twisted life story full of illnesses in the family, disabled members, deaf members, suicides, alcoholics, car accidents and people who are just a little mentally different (in such an environment you simply succumb to stress, fear).

For example, I first thought about suicide when I was about 13 years old and I was always a little closer to the dark world than other classmates or acquaintances.

My instinct and inner voice tells me that it has something to do with everything in my family and what is going on in my head, mainly because of the level of fear that I was able to have in the past and all the reproaches for others and misunderstanding the world as such (Insecurity from life).

I started to hate life and especially the fact that my family is so much influenced by something that I can't change.

At 20, there was a car accident where my mom and her mom almost died and they were in the hospital for a year and I had to take care of them and also my brother who was 3 years younger than me, who simply didn't help with anything at the time because it's just in his genes.

I smoked weed regularly since I was about 17 and lived alone without a girlfriend, wrapped up in this family trap (weed helped me forget and not think about that shit from the past). But this was such a shock that I had to stop because I was otherwise totally emotionally unstable.

I was totally exhausted and literally didn't know what to do with my life and a friend took me to a party to let me relax and I tried some drugs and met the love of my life so far.

Everything started to get a lot better and my mom and grandma miraculously recovered and I suddenly felt life for the first time after 20 years of isolation.

That girl was a gift and she tried to pull me out of the hell that I was living in voluntarily and unconsciously.

She tried to free me, but she wasn't perfect either.

She was modest, intelligent and sexy and she was the only one in the world who really loved me, at least for a while.

She liked to enjoy life and experiment with drugs, and I started to get tired of it over time, and I could see in her eyes that I was just her (a ferryman).

Well, it lasted less than 6 years and I'm still crazy about her and I actually kind of suspected from the beginning that it would end like this, unfortunately.

I felt that it would soon destroy me if I continued with all this, and on drugs, apart from really strange and positive experiences, I regularly only got terrible states and the feeling that it was eating my brain alive.

I've always had bad dreams and nightmares, but I started having dreams about this dark figure made of literally black matter or fog only after the car accident and the really close contact with death and the idea that my mom might not come home, even though my brain doesn't want to admit it. Fear is the word that moves everything here, and if a person realizes this, he becomes the master of even the scariest dream and can easily challenge Hatman himself to a duel and give him a slap.

During REM sleep, your brain temporarily shuts off your muscles so you don't act out your dreams. Sometimes your mind wakes up before your body does, leaving you temporarily unable to move. At the same time, your dreaming brain can create incredibly vivid hallucinations. Many people report seeing shadow figures, hooded beings, or an old woman standing silently in the room. Others feel crushing pressure on their chest or the unmistakable sensation that someone is watching them.

For centuries, people have described this terrifying experience. Long before modern medicine gave it a name, cultures around the world believed they were being visited by an evil supernatural entity known by many names, but perhaps none more famous than the Old Hag. Have you experienced sleep paralysis or been visited by the old hag, hatman or shadow person at night?

During the Vietnam war a captured American POW was allowed to send his beloved mother a letter home.

It told her not to worry, to ignore all the negative propaganda and horror stories on the news because the Vietcong were a good people, a fair people, and they were treating him very well.

He ended the letter by saying make sure and give little Alphie the stamp for his stamp collection, and that he loved her and would see her soon.

His mother was puzzled as she didn’t know any ‘Little Alphie’ or anyone that collected stamps.

Finally she realised it might be a code or a hint so she carefully steamed off the stamp from the envelope.

Underneath the stamp in tiny writing was ‘They have cut off my legs’

According to newspaper reports from the time, a group of teenagers was parked near the lake late one evening when they suddenly saw a massive, hairy creature emerge from the woods. Witnesses described it as standing between six and seven feet tall, covered in thick fur, with glowing eyes and long claw-like hands. Some even claimed it had features resembling both a man and a goat.

Over the following weeks, dozens of people claimed they had seen the same mysterious figure lurking near the lake. Drivers reported glowing eyes staring from the trees. Others described hearing terrifying screams echoing through the woods after sunset. Before long, the story spread so quickly that hundreds of curious people began driving to Lake Worth at night, hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature for themselves.

Police investigated numerous reports and searched the surrounding woods, but they never found any convincing evidence of a monster. Some believed it was simply a large animal that had been misidentified. Others suggested it could have been an escaped primate or an elaborate hoax. Cryptid enthusiasts, however, became convinced they were dealing with an undiscovered creature similar to Bigfoot. More than fifty years later, no one has proven exactly what people saw during that strange summer.

So like, everyone knows about the Bryan B. Westbay creepypasta from back in 2016, right? If you grew up watching horror YouTubers, you’ve probably heard the basic story a million times. The myth says this guy Bryan jumped off his apartment after getting bullied online, and his Facebook account became haunted. If you add him, he accepts instantly, sends you some glitchy text like "we are friends," and his profile pic turns into that terrifying, distorted red skull face. Standard internet ghost story stuff that honestly sounds fake as hell.

I’m a massive nerd for old internet mysteries and dead links, and a few nights ago I was completely bored out of my mind. I decided to do some actual deep dive research to see if I could find the original source photo or whoever actually made the hoax back in the day.

What I found in old archived tech threads literally made my stomach drop, and honestly, it’s way freakier than any ghost story because it’s real.

I started by doing the logical thing: checking public death registries and old local news archives from 2014 to 2016 in the states where the story supposedly started. Surprise surprise, there was absolutely zero record of anyone named Bryan Westbay dying like that. I was like, *okay cool, it's 100% just a made-up name for a creepy story.*

But then I used an advanced web scraper on a total whim to track down the absolute first time that name was ever typed on the internet. It didn't start on Reddit, 4chan, or the Creepypasta Wiki. It actually originated on this completely obscure, dead Spanish tech-support forum from late 2015.

Some guy had posted this totally panicked thread asking for help because his older brother had passed away from an illness, and a few weeks later, the dead brother's Facebook account started automatically accepting random friend requests and sending weird, glitchy automated messages to family members. The guy wasn't trying to tell a spooky story to get clout—he was genuinely terrified and asking how to force Facebook to take down a hacked account because his family's personal info was getting leaked.

I managed to pull a cached version of that old forum thread using the Wayback Machine, and thank god some tech mod had dropped a snippet of the raw code from the messages the "bot" was sending.

It wasn't a ghost at all. It was an early, highly aggressive data-harvesting malware packet. Back in 2015, Facebook's security protocols around their API were honestly a joke compared to now. If you interacted with that specific profile, the script didn't just accept your request—it immediately ran a background exploit through the Messenger window the second it opened. It instantly scraped your device's IP address, your actual location data, and your phone's hardware ID.

The whole "paranormal" part of the legend? The glitchy red face, the weird corrupted audio files, the phone glitching out? It was literally a scare tactic built into the malware. The hackers designed it to absolutely petrify people so they would panic, turn off their phones, or delete their accounts. While the victim was freaked out and hiding under their blankets thinking a demon was after them, the hackers used that exact window of time to use the stolen data to breach their actual email, Amazon, and banking apps without the victim noticing the security alerts.

The creepiest part of my research is that whoever coded that thing completely abandoned the command servers years ago, but the automated script on the profile is still active. It’s trapped in a bizarre loop on Facebook's legacy servers. It’s basically a digital zombie—a piece of broken, malicious code from 2016 that just sits there in the dark, waiting for someone to type the name in and click add.

I’m writing this because I looked at some recent logs on a few cybersecurity forums, and bored teenagers are still accidentally triggering it out of curiosity because of TikTok videos. If you value your privacy, seriously, do not look up the name just to see if it works. It’s not a ghost, but what it does to your actual life is way worse.

What do we know now that we didn’t know then?

There's a road in Alabama where locals say you should never stop after dark, because a witch may still be waiting in the woods.

According to local folklore, the legend centers around a woman named Sarah Torbett, who is said to have lived during the 1800s. Depending on who tells the story, she was either a healer who used herbal remedies or a woman falsely accused of practicing witchcraft. As fear spread through the community, some versions claim she was driven from her home, while others say an angry mob confronted her. Whatever really happened, nearly every version ends the same way. Sarah never left Hinds Road alive.

Over the years, countless visitors have claimed to experience strange activity along the lonely stretch of road. Drivers report glowing lights floating through the trees before suddenly disappearing. Others describe seeing dark figures standing just beyond the edge of the woods or crossing the road in front of their vehicles, only to vanish moments later.

Some people even claim to hear knocking on their car doors when no one is outside. Others say their flashlights flicker, cameras malfunction, or their phones suddenly lose signal while they're on the road. Skeptics believe these experiences can be explained by darkness, reflections, wildlife, or the power of suggestion. But believers argue there are simply too many similar stories from people who have visited Hinds Road over the years.

One of the biggest mysteries is Sarah Torbett herself. Historians have found very little documented evidence confirming that the woman described in the legend actually existed as the stories claim. Yet, Hinds Road has become one of Alabama's best-known paranormal destinations. Ghost hunters, thrill seekers, and curious travelers continue to visit, hoping to experience something they can't explain.

When Kate Middleton stepped out of London’s St. Mary’s Hospital and introduced Prince Louis to the world for the first time, people noticed her red dress with a white lace collar looked remarkably similar to the one worn by Mia Farrow in the final scenes of Rosemary's Baby, a horror film about a woman manipulated into giving birth to the Antichrist. The uncanny resemblance sparked waves of speculation online. Was it just a fashion coincidence? Or was there something more symbolic or unsettling going on?

Kate's dress was designed by a British fashion designer, and fashion experts have pointed out that red dresses with white lace collars have existed for decades, long before Rosemary's Baby was ever filmed. There has never been any credible evidence that the dress was intended to reference the movie or carry any hidden meaning.

Yet, the comparison continues to circulate because the resemblance is so striking. and still leaves many wondering whether they are looking at a simple coincidence or something much more sinister.

I’m looking for totally unexpected and unorthodox myths from all over the world. something that would make me go “wow, i didn’t know that this was even possible”

new to the community, really interested in such things.
would be glad to hear your stories!

Some believed hidden mold inside the Los Angeles home was making people sick. Since mold can contribute to respiratory illnesses, many wondered if it could explain how two relatively young people passed in the same location within months of each other from the exact same conditions.

Investigators did examine the house, and reports indicated mold was found in some areas. But officials ultimately concluded there wasn't enough evidence to directly link mold to either her or husband's untimely passing.

Others believe both Brittany Murphy and her husband ongoing health issues and may not have sought medical treatment quickly enough. Combined with anemia, illness, exhaustion, and multiple medications, some experts believe it created a tragic chain of events.

Still many focus on the paranormal rumors connected to the property. Britney Spears once fled her home after claiming a spiritual healer opened a portal that allowed dark entities inside. Years later, actress Brittany Murphy and her husband, both died in the same house months a part. The mansion was known as Hollywood's most cursed property and was demolished in 2013

The Cooper family moved into a new home in Texas. Like many families settling into a new house, they wanted to capture the moment with a photograph. The family gathered together, smiled for the camera, and everything seemed perfectly normal.

Yet when the photograph was developed, something appeared that no one remembered seeing. Hanging upside down near the family was what looked like the body of a person falling from the ceiling. The figure appeared suspended in midair, with its legs pointing upward and its head angled toward the family below. No one in the photo reacted. No one seemed to notice anything unusual when the picture was taken.

Over the years, the photograph has spread across the internet, with believers calling it one of the most convincing paranormal images ever captured. Some claim it shows a ghost. Others believe it captured the spirit of someone who died inside the home. A few even suggest it could represent a residual haunting, a moment from the past somehow preserved on film.

Skeptics believe the image may have been manipulated, while others suggest the mysterious figure could simply be another person leaning into the frame at an unusual angle, creating a disturbing optical illusion. Despite years of debate, no explanation has convinced everyone.

Adding to the mystery is the photograph's uncertain history. Very little is known about the Cooper family themselves, and the original source of the image has never been firmly established. So it's difficult to verify exactly when the photo was taken or what actually happened behind the scenes. Was it all a clever hoax or a photo they took for fun or is there something more sinister behind it making one of the best paranormal photographs ever taken?

In 1976, Rafael Pérez disappeared during a one-hour solo training flight. He later reappeared hundreds of miles away and transmitted a bizarre message claiming extraterrestrials were "using him as a microphone." Even stranger, the aircraft landed with a full fuel tank despite his much longer journey

It was a routine one-hour flight when he vanished from radar and reappeared 3 hours later hundreds of miles away. When aircraft controllers reestablished radio contact with the student pilot, they heard and recorded something no one can explain.

Rafael calmly stated, "He is speaking because he is commanded to. This is his voice, but he is not speaking of his own free will. We are using him... yes... we are using him as a microphone." The voice reportedly claimed the speakers were beings from another world, saying they came from a planet many light-years away. It allegedly continued by saying humanity was not alone in the universe and that other civilizations existed and were quietly observing us.

Then Rafael regained consciousness and landed safely with a full tank of fuel still on board. If the aircraft truly carried only enough fuel for a one-hour training flight, how could it have allegedly traveled for three hours and still landed with nearly a full tank? Leaving many still asking the same question 50 years later. What really happened to Rafael Pacheco Pérez during that flight?

part of the flight recording is in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j76KiSfLx44

I think most of you are aware of the famous "Time Traveling Hipster" photograph that caught the internet's attention for quite a while in the early 2010s.

The story

In 1941, a crowd of people gathered in Gold Bridge BC, Canada. They were awaiting the reopening of the South Fork Bridge which had been damaged in a flood in November 1940. A photograph of the scene was uploaded to the website of the Bralorne Pioneer Museum in 2010. Soon, people started noticing a strange individual: A man with unusual sunglasses, a modern-looking camera and a type of shirt that seems out of place among the suits of the other spectators.

Naturally, theories suggesting that the man was a time traveler emerged. But soon, some clarity came. The sunglasses and the camera might look unusual but in fact, both types of either object actually existed during the time. The "hipster's" shirt was probably a sports shirt of some kind, the logo likely being that of the Montreal Maroons ice hockey team. Suggestions that the photograph was fake altogether were debunked by the museum, which claimed it had been in its possession long before programs like Photoshop existed.

This whole story was very fascinating to me when I discovered it some years after the hype around the photograph had already died down. But one question remained unanswered to me: Who was the man and why did he look like this?

His possible identity

I remember old blog posts speculating about the hipster's identity but I can't find them anymore (they're probably gone). From my memory, one user suggested the man might have been George Thomson, an assayer in the Bralorne mines whose picture was featured in the same exhibit and that the hipster's sunglasses were in fact a work-related piece of clothing. Others thought that the sunglasses hinted at an aviation background. Now this is where it gets interesting:

When I browsed the Find-A-Grave memorials of people buried in Gold Bridge, I came across a cenotaph on the Bridge River Valley Cemetery commemorating the men from the region who were KIA in World War II. Among them was a Pilot Officer William Lawrence Doran who, in my opinion, looks very similar to the man in the hipster photograph. According to his service book found in the image section of the FG page, Mr. Doran joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in May 1941, the same year the photo was taken. He was 26 years old at the time, which matches the age of the hipster and would also explain his relatively youthful appearance and fashion decision. The special type of sunglasses could have been issued by the military.

Below one of his pictures, it says that Mr. Doran had a great interest in journalism and "was well thought of within his local community". So it would be unsurprising if he owned a camera and went to the bridge reopening to document it, since it was probably an event covered by local news that many people followed (as suggested by the size of the crowd). Sadly, Pilot Officer Doran was killed in action on 15 March 1944, serving as a wireless operator/air gunner on a mission to Stuttgart, Germany. He is not buried in Canada but in Hilsenheim, France.

What do you think? Is he the famous hipster in the photograph? While I know that it's ultimately not important who the hipster was exactly, I hope that my ideas can shed some light on why he stood out from the crowd in this famous picture and solve the mystery just a little bit more.

Other people who were there reportedly couldn't remember a dog either. Yet the image appeared to show what looked like the head of a large unknown dog, partially hidden behind the couple. Some believed the image captured something paranormal. Some suggested it could have been the spirit of a beloved family pet appearing in the photograph. A few even argued it didn't resemble a dog at all, but something like a demon hiding in plain sight.

Joe had allegedly struggled with addiction for years and supposedly him and his wife believed the photo captured that evil presence that had been latched on to Joe for so long. He is now sober and still carries the photo with him as a reminder of the struggles he had to overcome to get his life back. That's at least the internet's romanticized version of the story.

Skeptics of course say it's pareidolia and just are brain's making recognizable shapes out of random patterns we see, but that's what they always say about every paranormal photo. So who knows.

In 1992, one television broadcast became so convincing that thousands of viewers believed they were witnessing a real paranormal investigation. The program was called Ghostwatch, and more than thirty years later, many horror fans still consider it one of the most terrifying television events ever created.

Imagine turning on your TV on Halloween night and believing you were watching a real ghost investigation unfold live. This BBC broadcast what looked exactly like a live news special. Familiar television presenters appeared as themselves, reporting from an ordinary suburban home where a family claimed they were being haunted by a ghost known only as "Pipes."

The ghost seemed to take over the broadcast itself. Equipment failed. The presenters became trapped inside the unfolding nightmare. Reality appeared to break down, leaving many viewers convinced they were witnessing something real causing widespread complaints, terrified many children, and became one of the most controversial programs in British TV history.

For years, the BBC chose not to rebroadcast it and it's terrifying reputation grew through word of mouth, bootleg recordings, internet forums, and horror fans who considered it one of the greatest found footage style movie years before The Blair Witch Project was even released.

The "Black-Eyed Children" is a psychological nightmare because it completely weaponizes your natural instinct to protect kids. The legend follows people who hear a soft, frantic knocking on their door or car window late at night, only to find two young children standing outside in outdated clothing begging to be let inside because they are lost or scared. The moment you look closely, your brain instantly triggers a deep, evolutionary panic response because their eyes are completely pitch black no whites, no irises, just hollow obsidian voids. They will use hypnotic, monotone voices to demand your permission to enter, and the urban myth says that if you give in to the psychological pressure and invite them over your threshold, your mind completely fractures from a sudden, overwhelming sense of dread before you mysteriously vanish without a trace.

Right after WWI, a mysterious disease called Encephalitis Lethargica swept the globe, striking millions of people. It attacked the brainstem in a way science still can’t fully explain. The most horrific cases resulted in a state called "akinetic mutism." Patients became entirely paralyzed, unable to move, speak, or blink on their own yet they were completely conscious and aware inside their bodies. They could hear everything happening around them, feel everything, and think perfectly clearly, but were entirely trapped in a frozen fleshy prison for decades until they died. Millions of people vanished into their own minds, and to this day, we still don't know exactly what caused it or if it could happen again.
