Hey Youtube, Jim here! Welcome to Top10Archive!vSome
of my favorite stories come from the time when photos had to be developed. It was such a mystery
wondering what you had captured. The true mystery from that time may be lost forever,
but we still get some mysterious and dark photos every now and then. Love mysterious photos that
can’t be explained? You’re in for a treat! Here are 10 WEIRD photos that can't be explained!

If you end up enjoying this video, let us know by giving it a thumbs up and in the comment section,
tell us your explanations for these photos! 10. UFO Man
This Canadian man allegedly had an encounter with a UFO near Falcon Lake. This happened in 1967,
though not much has changed regarding the perceptions of UFO encounters,
except perhaps they got slightly more attention before.
When this man came forward saying he got these strange burn marks from a UFO encounter, the media
came in and didn’t send him to a mental facility. Should we have paid more attention or was he full
of it? Want to find the full story? His son Stan wrote a book about it called "When They Appeared".
9. Hampton Court Ghost This strange large figure was captured by Hampton
Court security cameras in London. According to the footage, the figure opened and closed the door
but was seen by no one when guards arrived. As you can see, in relation to the doorway, the
figure is quite large. Tall, and the extremities disproportionately long. Perhaps it was in the
guards’ best interest not to have found it or they would have been toast. Hampton Court is said to be
full of ghosts and even has a ghost tour - so maybe the guards are just used to it anyway.
8. The Babushka Lady The location, Dallas, Texas. The day,
November 22nd, 1963. For those privy to history, you'd know we're at the date and location
of John F. Kennedy's assassination. To this day, the identity and whereabouts of who we all know as
the "Babushka Lady", have never been discovered. Her nickname arose from the headscarf she wore,
which bore a striking resemblance to a babushka, a headscarf which many elderly Russian women wear.
Other films that have surfaced, and eye-witness reports state that she either filmed or took
pictures of the entire event, and then disappeared without a trace. Her tapes,
pictures, and true identity have never been found. 7. Stairway ghost
A man named Ralph Hardy took a snapshot of the Queen’s staircase at the National Maritime Museum
in Greenwich. For whatever reason, he found it worth photographing. After it was developed,
both the photo and the negative showed this figure, which appears to be clinging to the stairs
with both hands. In fact, there even seems to be another figure in the middle of the photo,
but the origin of the image is entirely unknown. 6. 1941 Hipster
Some believe this is a photo of a time-traveler. The photograph depicts 1941 British Columbia with
a variety of Canadians, middle to elderly-aged, out and about, perhaps during a parade.
To the bottom right of the photo, we see a guy in a cardigan, a tee shirt, a portable camera,
and sunglasses. He even seems to be holding a modern camera. If this thing’s real,
there’s no way this guy is too much further into the future. Those clothes almost look like they’re
last decade’s trends. Though very unusual for the times, everything he was wearing was available
for the times. I guess give this hipster props for being 30 years ahead of his time.
5. Evelyn McHale This woman was 23 when she was found on top
of a car next to the Empire State Building. Though some sources on the incident say she “fell,” it’s
hard to believe anyone “falls” from the world’s tallest building, especially when a suicide note
was found. This photograph was taken four minutes after her death by photography student Robert
Wiles, which subsequently gained iconic status and has been referred to as "the most beautiful
suicide". Aside from her shoes and stockings being out of place, she could have crawled up
and staged it. It’s still unbelievable today. 4. Until death did they part, and beyond
This 1998 photo wasn’t developed until 2000, perhaps taken by families who liked to store
up disposable cameras and pile them up, just to do a mass develop and see what happens. Well,
whatever the reason, they sure got a surprise when that picture of grandma ended up showing their
dead grandfather behind her who had passed away in 1994, four years before the photo was taken.
He’s far enough away where he seems to just be looking out, but close enough to still be
pictured and maybe even comfort her. 3. Stay Away From Hospitals
This next photo is not only scary because of what can be seen, but also because of the story
behind it. Before it was observed on CCTV and screenshotted, it was seen in-person by a nurse.
She said she saw a dark,not-human figure dancing on a patient. After the patient died,
the surveillance cameras showed that it was not just a shadow, it was this figure,
which is infinitely scarier and unexplainable. 2. Spontaneous Combustion
Our next photo depicts a phenomenon called “spontaneous combustion”. It’s when something,
namely humans, burst into flames for no apparent reason. You may have heard of it, as it’s often
referred to in pop culture. Until this photo, you may not have seen what it actually looks
like. Here’s a photo of the remaining limb of a woman who allegedly combusted spontaneously. Why
does this happen? Why doesn’t it consume the whole body? How can we stop it if it happens to us? The
phenomenon is a total mystery, and many medical professionals still think it doesn't exist.
1. Lights of Phoenix In 1997, thousands of Phoenix
residents claimed to have witnessed the same exact unexplainable phenomena. In this case, everyone
saw a line of about 7 bright lights, appearing to be similar to stars, that never showed up again.
Of course, many believe it’s UFO sightings, but we still have no clue what it might have been.
Does this look like anything to you? Fife Symington, the governor of Arizona at the time,
was one witness to this incident; he later called the object "otherworldly".
The United States Air Force identified the second group of lights as flares dropped by A-10 Warthog
aircraft that were on training exercises at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona,
but many witnesses think otherwise.
Thanks for watching! I think the weirdest picture I ever saw was my third grade school picture … not
quite photogenic … but that’s another story. But hey, picture this, a snapshot of you hitting
the subscribe button and notification bell with a look of delight that you’re becoming an Archivist.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments about these weird photos!
