It all started here, the strange and creepy side of the web. HCS has migrated mostly to YouTube and has started to branch off towards horror stories, but in these pages you will find a mixture of all sorts of bizarre things.

I became aware of The Hum quite a while back and find it very strange. I think I might have even heard it and not known about it, thinking it was a car running or distant industry. Again for this one I am not going to go off in too much detail as below is a wonderful video from Thoughty2 who I highly recommend you check out on YouTube, I love his videos.
In short, The Hum is a low rumbling sound that has been reported all over the world with no clear cause. There are many theories on what it is and where it comes from but an answer has never been found. The Hum has even driven some people insane and terrified others.
You can check out The World Hum Map and Database Project if you want to see where the reports of The Hum are coming from and what people have to say about it. Has someone in your town reported it? You can ever make a report yourself if you believe you have heard it.
Now get a cuppa, sit back and relax as the wonderful Thoughty2 explains all about The Hum. Do subscribe to his channel, he is awesome.
Hello and welcome to the new Spooky Thursday which I am doing in partnership with Haunted Britannia. The ghost hunting team are a new, more wide spread venture from the long standing local group Pontefract Paranormal. I have been a member of PP for quite some time now, well over a year I think, maybe nearly two, and I am also now a crew member with HB. I have a separate blog called Finding Slimer in which I enter my report as I see it from investigations I go on and I have a couple of personal spooky experiences on there too. I am aiming to have something related to the paranormal world on here every Thursday for the purposes of debate among Haunted Britannia patrons and fans, so without further ado, let's get on to the first one and let's make it a big one to celebrate this newness.
This video was captured at Disneyland in 2009. It is a recording of the security monitors as a ghostly figure roams around the closed park in the night. Some people say it is a ghost, maybe even Walt himself, and others have rather different explanations. I am going to try and go through some theories and ideas to see what I can make of this. When doing any kind of paranormal investigation you need to try and debunk everything in as many ways as you can, otherwise you just end up believing anything and everything is a ghost. Eg the cat fell off a table in the next room "ohh it was a ghost". That kind of thing. And that proves nothing. Only once you have ruled out as much as possible can you then begin to really look at something as a real candidate for para normality.
So this video I have chosen because it is pretty clear to see what we are talking about and it is compelling. You can see the figure is very human in some of the shots, not just a strange mass. It walks across different cameras which all line up perfectly and passes through some closed gates and does a Jesus impression over the boat lake. So what are the possible explanations for this?
Someone on the net has mentioned the idea of screen burn, the image has been shown on the screen for so long that it has burned in. So the background would be burned in, not the figure. I think the person was suggesting that there really is a person walking through the park but they didn't show properly through the burnt images. This should not really make any difference to the image of people on the screen, they should still show up fine not like a white transparent figure. If this was the case then all people would show like this all the time on that screen. That would be creepy to look at but unfortunately there are no other people in the shot to confirm this. Having watched old TV screens in my youth with screen burn though, I'm not buying this one at all. If it is a real image of someone walking through, how do they walk through closed gates and over a boat lake?
Old VHS tapes being reused with the 'ghost' image still hanging around. I buy this one more as that does happen. Like a double exposure, you can see a little of what was on the tape before you recorded over it with something else. I do have a little niggle with it. This does explain how the figure walks through closed gates and I am guessing all the tapes will be recording the same cameras all the time over and over. The figure walks the path perfectly but then walks over the lake? It could be that the tape was changed from recording another location before BUT we are talking about this same image crossing over four different screens which are either A those same 4 cameras are on a constant feed to one tape so it would have meant someone did walk over the lake or B that 4 different tapes record each camera feed and this same image is on ALL of them separately at the same time which seems very unlikely.
It was suggested it might be a reflection on the screen. This one I am not buying either because it's very human looking and it shows on 2 screens at once walking between cameras which perfectly sync up.
After all that you are left with the question of it being a hoax. If this is a hoax then it's quite a good one and must have taken a bit of skill and time. It was uploaded on a YouTube channel called ghostatdisneyland on the 15th September 2009 and was followed by another video on the 23rd and a final one on the 29th. The channel has no real information on it and just these 3 videos all as from the security cameras. So what can we get from this?
These were put here anonymously on a channel that was made just for them with the look of the name and the fact it was created on the same day as the first upload. So it could be someone who works there leaking footage they have found or they have taken the basic footage and manipulated it digitally. That could be just for fun as the videos do not seem to have been monetised for viewer revenue. Seems like a lot of trouble to make content that you will not have credit or money for creating but some people do still do these things. Another idea is that it was a viral ad created by Disneyland to promote Halloween events. The date would check out on this one with it being mid to late September.
If you take a look at the other 2 videos on there you have this Tower of Terror one which shows flashes of someone sitting first behind and then to the side of this maintenance worker going through the ride. Someone said this was images of the same man repeated and reflected but it clearly isn't the case as you can see from my still shots below. This ride does however use screens and holograms to scare the riders. I can't help but feel that the ghosts in this video look quite conveniently like holograms in a place where hologram projection is installed.
The final video does look to me like a good candidate for ghost image on VHS as it is one camera view of one spot. It could be someone getting in the train before imprinted on the new recording.
So personally I am going with this being a Disneyland viral ad. I think anonymous channel creation ties in to that well. Not monetised so no links to another account for payments and no other advert interruptions over their videos which are in themselves adverts, well timed for Halloween and pretty good images like it might have had some real thought and money put in to it to make it quite convincing. It does look from a quick search that they had a 2009 Halloween festival so that links in well too.
This is just my thoughts on it all and my personal conclusion but as with all things ghost, it is open to interpretation and it can be hard to truly pinpoint an exact right answer. It is possible I am wrong and it really is a security guard who wanted to show the spooks without getting fired for releasing Disneyland security footage. They could be real or there could be another explanation for them.
Thanks to modern day medical science you can. Not just with regular contact lenses, but with a chunk of plastic permanently jammed under your cornea. I don't know about you but I can think of nothing more appealing than having my eye balls sliced up like a cooked chicken.
Here is a news report on Bright Ocular and their eye changing ways, below this is a video from Bright Ocular of an implant being placed in the eye. If that makes you cringe then get ready to hide behind something for the next video, removal of an implant that went baaaaaaaaaaaaad.
If you are happy with the current colour of your iris but still want to give your eye a little artificial pop of colour, why not consider an eye tattoo. The white of your eye can be changed to any colour you like with a few injections of ink in to the cornea. Lovely.
Botfly larvae are the things of nightmares. The human Botfly (Dermatobia Hominis) female will capture a mosquito and attach her eggs to it's body and let it go. Once the mosquito lands on a human (and some other primates) the eggs will enter at he point of the mosquito bite to incubate for 8 weeks in the subcutaneous layers of the skin. It will fall out and develop for a further week in the ground.
This species is native to the Americas from Southeastern Mexico (beginning in central Veracruz) to northernArgentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The adult fly is quite large and resembles a bumblebee.
Here is a video of Botfly larvae removals. Be warned, it's cringe inducing. also if you suffer from Trypophobia it might trigger that too.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me. So it's my birthday today and I decided to make an attempt at using the date to create a special Creep Sauce to celebrate. The searching has brought up some nasty things and some pointless things. I already know that Antonio Banderas is my birthday buddy and I have just found out that so is Kylie Jenner (woo bloody hoo).
One thing I found that stood out above all others, something that is the right kind of creepy for Holy Creep Sauce was related to Charles Manson. On August 10th 1969 his cult killed Leno and Rosemary LaBianca after killing Sharon Tate and four of her friends just the day before on August 9th.
Read about the August 10th murders Includes photos of the bodies but through external links so you don't have to see them if you don't want to.
Hi creepsters. I know I had been putting a creepy thing on everyday and that just recently I have been missing a few days. I have not had as much time to dedicate to the blog lately as I had before. I don't want to stop the blog though so I am going to reduce the post frequency to weekly rather than daily. On that note, here is a man going to the doctor with a tickle in his ear.
