The Trail Camera Caught Bigfoot Watching From The Cedar Trees Behind The Bait Shop

Editorial recreation of the Trail Camera Caught Bigfoot Watching From The Cedar Trees Behind The Bait Shop story, image 1.

The first thing I noticed wasn't the shape standing between the cedar trees. It was the way every stray cat that usually wandered behind the bait shop had disappeared overnight, even though there were scraps of fish lying untouched beside the dumpster. If you look toward the old chain gate behind the building, notice that the heavy padlock is still hanging exactly where it should be. Nothing had been opened, … Read more

The Museum Storage Camera Showed A Shadow Sitting Inside The Empty Display Case

Editorial recreation of the Museum Storage Camera Showed A Shadow Sitting Inside The Empty Display Case story, image 1.

I knew something was wrong the second I looked through the glass. Inside the old museum display case, where there should have been nothing but an empty velvet platform, someone looked like they were sitting with their knees pulled up. The strangest part wasn't the shape itself. It was that the heavy brass lock on the display case door was still hanging exactly where it always was. If you look … Read more

The Hotel Laundry Chute Camera Saw Claws Pressing Through The Dark Opening

Editorial recreation of the Hotel Laundry Chute Camera Saw Claws Pressing Through The Dark Opening story, image 1.

The first thing I noticed wasn't the noise. It was four long gray claws resting against the edge of the hotel laundry chute like something inside was slowly testing the opening. If you ever look at the picture, don't stare at the claws first. Look at the steel access door hanging open and the heavy padlock still locked through the latch beside it. That's the part nobody at work could … Read more

My Sister Found A Blurred Face Watching From The Locked Choir Loft

Editorial recreation of the My Sister Found A Blurred Face Watching From Locked Choir Loft story, image 1.

The first thing my sister said wasn't that she saw someone inside the church. She said, "Look at the padlock." The old iron gate leading to the choir loft was still chained shut, but above it, between the wooden railing, a pale blurred face was looking down as if someone had been standing there the whole time. If you look where the lock hangs instead of the face, that's what … Read more

I Saw A Translucent Man Standing Behind The Closed Florist Cooler

Editorial recreation of the I Saw A Translucent Man Standing Behind Closed Florist Cooler story, image 1.

The first thing I noticed wasn't the flowers. It was the man standing behind the cooler glass after we had already locked it for the night. Look closely at the cooler door if you ever find yourself in a place like this. If the brass padlock is still hanging exactly where you left it but someone is standing inside anyway, don't convince yourself you imagined it. I worked evenings at … Read more

A Silver Saucer Hung Behind The Radio Tower During The County Fair Power Outage

Editorial recreation of the A Silver Saucer Hung Behind Radio Tower During The County Fair Power Outage story, image 1.

The strangest part wasn't that the county fair lost power. It was the silver saucer hanging perfectly still behind the radio tower while every light across the fairgrounds went dark. It looked close enough to touch, but it never moved even when the emergency generators finally kicked in. If you ever look at the picture my cousin took later, don't watch the rides first. Look at the radio tower on … Read more

The Trail Camera Caught Bigfoot Half Hidden In The Pine Trees Behind The Fishing Cabin

Editorial recreation of the Trail Camera Caught Bigfoot Half Hidden In The Pine Trees Behind The Fishing Cabin story, image 1.

The first thing I noticed wasn't the size of it. It was the way one shoulder stayed perfectly visible between two pine trees while the rest of its body somehow disappeared behind trunks that were much too narrow to hide something that big. If you ever find yourself looking at that clearing, pay attention to the old locked tool shed behind the cabin. The padlock never moved, but whatever stood … Read more

The School Auditorium Was Empty But Someone Was Sitting Under The Stage Curtain

Editorial recreation of the School Auditorium Was Empty But Someone Was Sitting Under The Stage Curtain story, image 1.

The first thing I saw wasn't on the stage. It was someone sitting perfectly still beneath the heavy front curtain where there shouldn't have been enough space for anyone to fit. If you ever look toward the front of an old school auditorium, don't watch the seats first. Look at the brass padlock hanging on the stage access gate beside the stairs. That lock never moved, and it's the only … Read more

The Grocery Freezer Camera Saw Two Eyes Under The Empty Meat Case

Editorial recreation of the Grocery Freezer Camera Saw Two Eyes Under The Empty Meat Case story, image 1.

I was halfway through closing the meat department when I noticed two eyes staring at me from the dark space under the empty display case. Not beside it. Not reflected in the glass. They were underneath it, where there shouldn't have been enough room for anyone to hide. If you ever look at the picture from that night, pay attention to the employee service door behind the meat case. The … Read more

My Cousin Found A Veiled Woman In The Closed Church Side Room

Editorial recreation of the My Cousin Found A Veiled Woman In Closed Church Side Room story, image 1.

My cousin froze halfway down the church hallway because someone was standing inside a side room that had been locked all afternoon. He said the woman wore a long white veil that covered everything except the bottom of her face, but the strangest part was that the veil never moved even though every hallway door nearby was rattling from the wind. If you picture the room, pay attention to the … Read more
