We over here at Top 5 Scary Videos love a spooky story.
A tale of the supernatural that folks tell around campfires to keep you up at night.
However, not all of them are tales, some of them are born in reality, and some you may
even be able to experience yourself, if you dare.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going to be counting down our list of the Top 5
Scariest Unsolved Hauntings.
Before I begin, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to some of your comments.
Let’s jump in.
5 Hotel Monte Vista, Arizona Hotel Monte Vista is a famous and historic
hotel located one block north of US Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The hotel was built back in 1927 and is a centerpiece of the historic downtown district.
However, it has become more popular for the otherworldly going ons inside it’s walls.
Guests who have stayed in room 220 have experienced the TV changing channels on its own, and some
have even said they have felt cold hands touching them while they slept.
However, arguably the most popular ghost story to emerge from the hotel is that of the phantom
bellboy who is said to knock on doors and announce, ‘room service’, but when guests
open their doors, no one's there.
Another popular haunting, and perhaps one of the most disturbing, is the sound of an
infant crying in the basement.
I quote, “Staff have found themselves running upstairs to escape the sound of the cries.
Though the sounds are very real to those who hear them, there has been no information that
has explained the phenomenon.”
-- That is a direct quote from the hotel’s website.
Would you dare stay here?
4 Ariana Grandes Haunting Now, we have a Hollywood ghost story at this
number, coming from the mouth of none other than Ariana Grande.
Yep, that’s right, Ariana Grande was supposedly haunted by a ghost back in 2013 when she visited
Stull Cemetery in Kansas, a place that is so scary the Pope refuses to fly over it because
it’s reputed to be one of the seven gates to Hell.
Ariana explained to Complex, I quote, “I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity
over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon, and there was
a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon.
I was like, ‘This is scary, let’s leave’.
I rolled down the window before we left and said, ‘we apologize.
We didn’t mean to disrupt your peace’.
Then I took a picture and there are three super distinct faces in the picture -- they’re
faces of textbook demons.”
Now, the story gets even creepier, stick with me.
According to Ariana, when she tried to send the picture to her manager the next day, she
was met with an error message that read, “This file can’t be sent, it’s 666 megabytes.”
Weird things began to occur following the incident, and Ariana was forced to delete
the picture.
I quote, “I was going to sleep about two weeks ago.
I had just gotten off the phone and as soon as I closed my eyes I heard this really loud
rumble right by my head.
When I opened my eyes it stopped immediately, but when I closed my eyes it started again
with whispers.
Every time I closed my eyes I started seeing these really disturbing images with red shapes.
Then I opened my eyes and scooched over to the left side of my bed, and there was this
massive black matter.
I don’t know what it was.
It was like a cloud of something black right next to me.
I started crying.
I watched it move to the front of my bed and then I fell asleep.
I woke up and it was gone.”
Now, I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to believe this one, without the evidence
to back it up, but if Ariana says it happened, then I guess it happened?
3 Please Stop Moving The Kitchen Table Uploaded to My Uni Days by a user named Barbara,
this story tells the haunting tale of a ghost that just won’t stop messing with a kitchen
table.
I quote, “My house was fraught with weird stuff happening when we first moved in.
The kitchen table would move overnight 12 to 18 inches.
My keys will disappear and show up in the weirdest places like my quilt trunk.
My son, Christopher, went into the basement and things came flying off the shelf at him.
He also saw someone walking on our wraparound porch once but no one was there.
The most obvious one was a few years ago, twice this happened.
I was sweeping the kitchen floor.
The door to the porch started shaking uncontrollably.
It was like someone was trying to open the door without turning the knob.
It lasted about 15 seconds.
Keep in mind this is a wraparound porch completely enclosed.
I knew it was bad because my dogs who will bark at a butterfly flying past the window,
all looked up at the door and stepped back.
Both times it happened I was doing the same thing about the same time at night.
By the way as a side note, I walked into the kitchen table one night while going to the
bathroom.
It was not the first time I walked into the kitchen table because it was moved.
So I just said “Please stop moving the kitchen table”, and it never moved again.”
Spooky stuff.
Do you believe Barbara’s story, and if so, who do you think the ghost was?
A former resident of the home perhaps?
Or just someone who was obsessed with moving kitchen tables -- perhaps a former interior
designer, you never know!
2 Demon in the Dark Another creepy ghost story uploaded to My
Uni Days, this one comes from a guy named Dave, who explains his very real encounter
with a scary demon.
I quote, “My family travelled to the south of France to stay in a cottage owned by someone
my Dad worked with.
The owners visited occasionally but that summer it was free and we had 10 days booked in there.
After a long two days on the road we drove down a steep driveway towards a secluded mill
cottage, with the water wheel sat static alongside the stone house.
There was a deep cellar with stone stairs down under the wheel next to the house, and
a small river circled the place.
We went into the house and chose rooms, but being set down in a small copse, the house
was draft and cold from lack of use.
We settled in and turned all of the heating on, yet the house remained cold and felt damp.
The first night we had set a fire in the living room and listened to a couple of audiobooks
before my sister and I went to sleep.
My parents stayed up a little longer then went to bed.
Around midnight they both woke up at exactly the same time, and the door to their bedroom
was opening slowly.
At first they thought it was my sister until they saw a large dark silhouette of a man
framed in the doorway, standing stock still, just looking in their direction as if appraising
them.
After a short period, the shape turned and started to move, as if satisfied, and disappeared.
They looked at each other, but didn’t speak, and both went back to sleep.
The next morning the house felt warm and dry, and sunlight was back through windows, as
if something had lifted, and accepted them.
They spoke the next day and both agreed that although they were skeptics, it could not
have been anything other than something supernatural in that doorway, deciding their worth.”
What do you guys think about this one?
Demon encounter, intruder, or trick of the light?
Do you think there was a man there, or is this all pretend?
You tell me.
1 Hotel Cecil Ah, of course, there is no building more haunted
than the Cecil Hotel that has numerous unexplained deaths and haunting that are still ongoing
today, even after it changed its name to Stay on Main.
Creepier still, there’s an entire list of suicides reported on its wikipedia page, with
the first reported case happening in 1931 followed by a long string of similar deaths
in 1932, 1934, 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1940.
The 30’s were not a good time for the Cecil that’s for sure.
During the same time, other tenants of the building also died by suicide off property
and one man was pinned to the exterior wall by a truck.
In 1962, a woman jumped from the ninth floor window and landed on a pedestrian, killing
them both.
In 1964, tenant Goldie Osgood was brutally murdered, which had remained unsolved.
And, of course, one of the most famous cases is that of Elisa Lam, a 21 year old traveler
who was found dead in the rooftop water tank of the hotel after guests began to complain
of a funky taste.
Now, with this number, it isn’t so much the ghost themselves that are the unsolved
haunting, but the hotel itself.
Which seems to curse anyone who stays in it or near it.
Well, there we have it!
Let me ask you this, do you guys believe in the supernatural?
If so, do you have any stories of your own?
If so, leave me your scariest encounters in the comments down below and I’ll be responding
to some of the spookies.
Before I go though, I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos,
Top 5 Worst Horror Movie Endings - Part 2.
Eternal Communism -1974 said “Lucy McPhee, with you...there’s always a happy ending.”
-- I don’t know how to interpret that.
Who did you speak to?...you’re not wrong though.
Homerjnick said “Lucy...I hope you pledge your allegiance to Leeds Utd just like Jack
did recently.”
-- HA HA, that’s a good one.
I’m Arsenal through and through, if you have a problem with that I kindly ask you
to leave, before Dark Lucy emerges.
Robert Rudolph said “More Lucy, less guy with Beard.
The Pale Goddess has spoken, so mote it be.”
The people have spoken, Jack must be taken down.
