The Haunting of Brownsville Road: A Demonic House in Pittsburgh | True Paranormal Folklore

In 1988, Bob and Lesa Cranmer moved their family into a large old house on Brownsville Road in Brentwood, Pennsylvania, believing they had found their dream home. But over the years, the family claimed the house became the centre of violent supernatural activity, including shadow figures, moving objects, broken religious items, mysterious scratches, and blood-like stains on the walls.

  • The Ghost of Superman: George Reeves, Benedict Canyon, and Hollywood’s Haunted Death House

    27:14|
    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/

  • The 1988 Anomaly: Did Reality Shift? Strange Timeline Stories, Broken Time and Glitches in the Matrix

    29:01|
    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/
  • The Bleeding Houses | The Atlanta Blood House and La Plata’s House of Blood

    31:31|
    In 1986, blood began to rise from the floor of a family photography shop in La Plata, Argentina, drawing police, priests, believers and frightened neighbours to a house suddenly treated as both crime scene and shrine. Less than a year later, in Atlanta, Georgia, another ordinary home became known as the Blood House when human blood appeared across its floors and walls, with no body, no injury, no break-in, and no explanation.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.laplata1.com/2021-10-17/el-gran-misterio-sin-resolver-de-la-plata-el-dia-que-broto-sangre-del-piso-en-una-casa-por-la-visita-de-una-virgen-65046/https://www.diarioeltiempo.com.ar/nota-milagro--crimen-o-engano-el-dia-que-broto-sangre-del-piso-en-una-casa-de-la-plata-172416https://www.airedesantafe.com.ar/la-terrorifica-historia-la-casa-sangrante-la-plata-el-misterio-que-sigue-resolver-n585877https://theghostinmymachine.com/2021/08/02/unresolved-what-caused-the-atlanta-blood-houses-mysterious-mess/https://www.trulyadventure.us/blood-househttps://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/12/us/source-of-blood-in-atlanta-house-still-a-mystery.htmlSarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
  • The Pit of Ghosts: Morfa Colliery’s Haunted History

    25:26|
    Before the 1890 Morfa Colliery disaster, miners claimed they heard strange sounds in the four-foot seam, including doors opening and slamming in the darkness, and some believed the pit was warning them of fire or explosion. When the mine later exploded and dozens of men and boys were killed, those ghost stories entered the inquiry itself, turning Morfa into one of Wales’s most unsettling haunted mining legends.The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://folklorethursday.com/halloween/the-pit-of-ghosts-exploring-the-haunted-mines-of-victorian-wales/https://theatr-nanog.co.uk/ghost-morfa-collieryhttps://thevictorianbookofthedead.wordpress.com/2022/03/09/morfa-resonance-the-pit-of-ghosts/https://asiw.co.uk/reviews/ghost-morfa-colliery-theatr-na-nog-dylan-thomas-theatreSt James’s Gazette, 25 April 1890, “The Morfa Colliery Disaster — Ghost Stories”.Sarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
  • The Jamison Family Mystery: Witches, Spirits and the Vanishing on the Mountain

    In 2009, Bobby, Sherilynn and six-year-old Madyson Jamison drove into the Sans Bois Mountains to look at land for a new off-grid life and vanished, leaving behind their truck, their dog, their phones, their IDs and $32,000 in cash. But before they disappeared, the family had reportedly spoken of hauntings, spirits, demons, apocalyptic fears and a spooky warning painted on a shipping container: “Witches don’t like their black cat killed.”The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/mysterious-death-of-the-jamison-family/https://oklahomacoldcases.org/bobby-jamison/https://allthatsinteresting.com/jamison-familyhttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/jamison-family-mysteryhttps://medium.com/@thewickedtruthyt/the-disturbing-case-of-the-jamison-family-7972f52b09c5https://int-missing.fandom.com/wiki/Jamison_FamilySarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
