AFTER DARK | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories

In 1816, snow fell in June, crops failed across Europe and North America, and thousands feared the end of the world. Known as the Year Without a Summer, this extraordinary period was caused by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Tambora a year earlier, although nobody at the time knew the true reason. As famine spread and old superstitions resurfaced, a group of writers trapped by the relentless storms at Lake Geneva created Frankenstein and The Vampyre, changing horror literature forever.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.britannica.com/event/Year-Without-a-Summerhttps://www.britannica.com/place/Mount-Tamborahttps://www.usgs.gov/programs/VHP/1815-eruption-mount-tamborahttps://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/1510/tamborahttps://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/year-without-summer-1816https://blog.nms.ac.uk/2020/04/10/the-eruption-of-mount-tambora/https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20210817-the-year-summer-never-camehttps://www.history.com/articles/the-year-without-a-summerhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/1816-year-without-summerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1815_eruption_of_Mount_Tamborahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Diodatihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankensteinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_VampyreSarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In 1906, twenty year old Grace Brown travelled to Big Moose Lake with Chester Gillette, the man she loved and hoped would marry her. Instead, she was found dead in the water, and her private letters became the centre of a sensational murder trial. More than a century later, Grace is still said to haunt Big Moose Lake as a sorrowful woman in white.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.adirondack.net/history/grace-brown/https://unsolved.com/gallery/ghost-of-grace-brown/https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6528/20051201/heard-up-north-grace-brown-s-last-letterhttps://crimereads.com/people-v-gillette/https://history.nycourts.gov/product/2009-calendar/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Grace_Brownhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_GilletteSarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

After George Reeves, television’s original Superman, died in his Benedict Canyon home in 1959, the official ruling was suicide. But questions, rumours and old Hollywood whispers followed the case for decades, and later tenants claimed the house itself was haunted by strange noises, moving objects and even an apparition of Reeves dressed as Superman.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-george-reeves-19590617-20160615-snap-story.htmlhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-sep-15-et-reeves15-story.htmlhttps://people.com/george-reeves-death-controversial-theories-11755407https://walkoffame.com/george-reeves/https://www.jimnolt.com/location.htmhttps://www.hollywood.com/general/george-reeves-superman-hollywoodland-ghost-haunted-house-57174240https://www.americanhauntingsink.com/reeves-houseSarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

A church in Texas where thousands looked into the sky in 1988. A theory that time moves towards rupture. A machine beneath Europe that became, for some, a symbol of a universe disturbed. And ordinary people, scattered across the internet, trying to explain why their lives feel as though they continued after something else ended.Perhaps nothing happened. Perhaps the feeling is memory, grief, fear, nostalgia, or the strange dislocation of living through years that change too quickly.But for those who believe they remember the other world, the question remains. If reality did shift, would we know? Or would we simply wake the next morning, make a cup of tea, answer our messages, go to work, and spend the rest of our lives wondering why home no longer feels like home?The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/comments/1ie4jey/the_1988_anomoly/https://www.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/18lgtui/it_was_saturday_august_13_1988_and_ive_never_been/https://www.upi.com/Archives/1988/08/16/Pilgrims-say-they-saw-visions-of-Virgin-Mary/8186587707200/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-04-10-mn-1686-story.htmlhttps://home.cern/science/accelerators/large-hadron-collider/https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/first-beam-lhc-accelerating-sciencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKennahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenonhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/18cimeh/if_the_world_did_end_is_it_possible_that_it/https://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/jxfypw/everything_changed_in_20122015/https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/exfkue/i_died_in_an_alternate_universe/https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/p5snd7/i_think_i_may_have_died_in_a_car_accident_in_an/https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelUniverse/comments/1fctsf8/constantly_wanting_to_go_home/Sarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
