Oradour-sur-Glane

Remember when I posted the video about Chernobyl and said I can think of a ghost town more ghostly than Pripyat?  Well this is the one.  Oradour-sur-Glane.  This is a very sad story from WW2 and the video below does show images of some of the bodies.  They are not really that graphic but people have different tolerances for such things and put the images together with the story and it's horrifying.

The village was destroyed by Nazis on the 10th of June 1944 and 642 of it's occupants were massacred including woman and children of all ages.  The men were put in a barn where machine guns were aimed at their legs.  They were shot down but mostly still alive, this is when they had fuel poured over them and they were burned alive.  The women and children had been put inside the church and locked in.  fires were lit around it and as they tried to escape from doors and windows they were met with the machine guns.  Many simply burned to death.  Only one 47 year old woman managed to get out alive.  She, another woman and a child had managed to get out at the back but all were shot.  She crawled, wounded in to some bushes and hid there until rescue came the following day.

After the war a new village was build nearby but Oradour-sur-Glane was ordered to be kept as it was by the French president.  It stands to this day and a museum and memorial.

The Polaroid in the car park

On June the 15th 1998 a woman found a Polaroid in a car park which depicted what seemed to be two young kidnap victims.  She said she had parked next to a windowless white van and gone in to a shop.  When she came back out to her car the van was gone and the photo was on the floor.

It is believed that the girl in the photo is Tara Calico who went missing the year before on September 20th in New Mexico.  She went out in the morning for a bike ride only to vanish, her and the bike, and never be seen again.  No one saw her being taken but it is widely accepted that she was kidnapped.  There was a sighting of a truck following her as she was riding but this could be just a truck going the same way as her cycle route.  The boy in the photo has not been identified.  There was a claim it was Michael Henley who went missing in April 88.  However his body was found in 1990 in the Zuni mountains, 7 miles from his families camp site and 75 miles away from where Tara had gone missing.  It is believed he had gone off alone for some reason, maybe he became lost, and died of exposure. 

There has been recent efforts to find Tara and look in to the origins of the photo but so far they have turned up empty handed.

Botcaster

I was going through a site called PetitTube (go try it, it's odd) and I found this.  Botcaster.  It says it is a smart robot that learns from the net and uploads videos from what it learns.  It has shocking numbers of videos even though it was only started in January this year.  If you go on the playlists you will see the mammoth collections of different video types.  It's been telling jokes (bad ones) and reading the Bible as well as giving definitions for thousands of words.

Don't Move

Time for a short horror movie me thinks.  The kind of thing you can watch before going to bed tonight to give you some good old fashioned nightmares.

Don't Move is set in a house just after playing with an Ouija board.  I am a part time ghost hunter and have used them loads, they are not scary and do not summon demons.  However this one does summon a demon because it's a horror film.  This demon is hard of hearing and has sight problems so the people are reasonably safe if they just Don't Move and stay quiet.  The last one alive gets to live.

Give the full movie a watch here, it only 15 minutes of your life but it might haunt you forever.

Creepypasta

I know this site is already a very popular one but not everyone knows about it so I am going to point you in it's direction anyway.  Creepypasta is the place for the public, yep that's you out there, to write creepy fiction and have it featured for the world to read.  The site is packed full of creepy stories for a night in alone.

The Sodder Children

The Sodder children were either killed in a fire or went missing. No one knows which, no one knows where they are and it's likely that no one ever will.  This video from the wonderful Cayleigh Elise tells you the full story in depth.

Salad Mix Up

I made this ages ago.  It's a cross over of David Firth's Salad Fingers and Aphex Twin.  Please do give it a watch and hop on over to the Holy Creep Sauce channel and subscribe to get the usual creepy stories in video form.
