there are many documented cases where people have taken photos and realized after the fact that they
captured something inexplicable in the background some scary photos are the result of quick thinking
when the photographer managed to snap a shot of an unexplained event but in the majority of these
cases there is no explanation and the objects caught in these creepy images remain a mystery
number five
on the 26th of november 2011 the mars science laboratory was launched from cape canaveral
together with its rover called curiosity just over eight months later on the 6th of august
2012 it landed in the gale crater located on mars the rover's mission is to collect
data on the planet's climate and geology whether it has the environmental conditions
needed to support microbial life as well as planetary habitability studies to prepare
for human exploration of the planet in the future since landing the rover has beamed numerous photos
of the surrounding landscape back to earth and many of those photos have been closely examined
as they seem to show mysterious and unknown objects on the planet's surface
one such unexplained image was taken in march of 2012 and it shows an object that does not seem to
fit in with the rest of the surrounding landscape as with so many photos claiming to capture
extraterrestrial objects it is out of focus making it hard to see the finer details of the object
nevertheless many people have theorized that it's the remnants of an alien spacecraft
that has been left behind on the planet others have been quick to dismiss these claims however
stating that it is far more likely that it's the debris from the rover's landing gear
or from its skycrane landing system it seems very plausible as the rover has been known to
take photos not only of its own landing gear but of itself as well but for now the creepy photo
remains a mystery and as is noted by nigel watson the author of the ufo investigation's manual
unless we get more detailed information it's likely another case of wishful thinking
number four
in august of 1975 husband and wife peter and diane birth lot were on a holiday in
warstead north norfolk in the uk they decided to visit a local church called saint mary's
to escape the stifling heat and diane took a pew near the front of the church
peter however decided to take a few photos of the building and it wouldn't be until they
had the film developed that they realized they had taken a very creepy photo indeed
sitting behind diane in a pew that was empty at the time the photo shows what appears to
be a woman wearing a bonnet and old-fashioned clothing when they realized what they had captured
they were shocked and decided to show the photo to one of the leaders of saint mary's the following
year when they returned to warstad when he viewed the photo he told them that he knew
about the spirit which is called the white lady of orstad and it's a tale that dates back centuries
in the 1830s a man was staying at the king's head tavern when he was told about the legend
of the white lady it's said that she appears in the church every christmas eve and anyone
who was unlucky enough to catch a glimpse of the spirit was doomed to succumb to an untimely demise
the man not being a believer in such things decided to climb the church's belfry stating
that if he saw her he would give her a kiss his friends waited for him to return but when
he hadn't done so for some time they decided to check on him they found him still in the belfry
huddled over and shaking from fright he muttered to himself and in obvious distress when they asked
him what had happened he said i've seen her i've seen her and promptly fell over deceased
number three
in hess daylen norway people have the opportunity to take photos of an unexplained phenomenon
known as the hessdalen lights the phenomenon occurs in the 7.5 mile long hessdalen valley
which is occupied by only 100 residents and has become a well-known destination for tourists
who are curious about the strange orbs of light that can be seen in the many photos that have
been taken at the site no one is certain why the lights appear but they have been described as
materializing both at night and during the daytime seemingly floating through and above the valley
they differ in color and size with some being bright white while others are yellow or red and
often described as being the size of a car the duration also varies as the lights are sometimes
visible for only a few minutes while other times they stay in the valley for well over an hour
on some occasions they seem to hover in place or sway from side to side while they sometimes
move at great speed the phenomenon was most active between december of 1981
and mid-1984 when the lights would appear between 15 and 20 times per week since then
sightings have become less common with only 10 to 20 observations being reported each year
since 1983 project hessdalen has been carrying out investigations on the lights
the triangle project was launched by students engineers and journalists in 1997
and 1998 and they found that some of the lights are pyramid-shaped often observed as bouncing
up and down in 1998 the hess dalen automatic measurement station was set up in the valley
to record the strange appearance of the lights as for what caused them to appear no one is certain
though there have been many theories put forward some people believe that they're the result of
an incompletely understood combustion that occurs between hydrogen oxygen and sodium
and that they are so prevalent in hestalin due to the valley's large depolits of scandia
other theories suggest that they're formed by a cluster of macroscopic coulomb crystals in a
plasma which is produced by the ionization of air and dust by alpha particles during radon
decay in the area's dusty atmosphere others have noted that the valley is rich in crystal rocks
including quartz grades which produce a very high charge density resulting in piezoelectricity
this theory has been heavily debated as piezoelectricity does not account for the
fact that some of the orbs have been observed to have geometric shapes in their center but despite
all the research that has been done the origin of the hessdalen lights is still unknown until
further scientific research is conducted they remain a mysterious phenomenon without explanation
number two
the strange event of the chenery ghost and the creepy picture that accompanies it
occurred on the 2nd of march 1959. mabel chenery and her husband jim had driven to a cemetery in
england to take photos of her mother ellen hamill's grey she had passed away the previous
week and mabel wanted a photo as a keepsake she went to the grave site while jim waited in the car
and when she had finished taking photos she decided to take a candid snapshot of
her husband as he sat in the car it was only after the film had developed that they noticed
something creepy and unexplained in the photo in the back seat of the car behind the passenger seat
was the clear image of mabel's mother mabel would later explain that the seat is the exact
spot where her mother used to sit whenever she was in the car with them an unnamed photo expert who
examined the picture stated that the lady in the back seat can't be the result of double exposure
if it were the upright section between the car's windows wouldn't obscure part of her face
and he added that it was also impossible for it to be the result of a reflection in the window
when the picture appeared in the sunday newspaper supplement parade
it was published alongside a photo of mabel's mother exiting the car while she was still alive
and it's noted that she was holding the same glasses that the figure in the creepy photo
appears to be wearing when they were interviewed mabel and jem explained that
ellen liked to sit in that seat so that she could talk to gem when they were out driving
jim also added another interesting fact which was that just before ellen passed away
she told him that they would never come to any harm because she would still be with them the
photo has been examined by many experts over the years with some suggesting that the figure in the
car is indeed the result of an accidental double exposure and that there may possibly have been
a picture of ellen on the film role taken when she was still alive and that this photo somehow
copied a part of itself to the photo of the car this all remains pure speculation however as
there's no solid undeniable proof for the theory that it is a spirit or that it's the result of
a photographic error and so it seems the chenery ghost will remain an unexplained mystery forever
number one
a creepy photo taken by reverend kenneth f lord in 1963 appears to show the spirit of an unknown man
and to this day there has been no clear explanation as to what exactly he managed to
capture on phil the image has since been regarded as one of the most captivating supposed paranormal
images to come out of the 1960s while lord was taking pictures of the church he aimed his camera
at the altar which he was particularly fond of when the pictures were returned to him after
being developed he noticed that the picture of the altar showed a strange transparent figure standing
next to it upon closer inspection he realized that it looked like a monk cloaked in a black robe that
extended all the way to the floor the figure also appeared to be wearing some sort of white
sheet that covered its face possibly to hide the effects of leprosy or another type of physical
deformity he also noted that it appeared to be wearing a hood with a delicate pattern on its
head and that it was facing directly towards the camera the appearance of the figure in the photo
completely baffled the reverend as he was certain that he was alone in the church at the time that
he took the photo and because the church had never had a history of paranormal activity
once the image was made public it was immediately scrutinized by skeptics since it was deemed to
be too perfect of an image of a spirit and too convenient that it was cloaked from head to toe
they also noted that if the objects surrounding the figure were taken into account it would
need to be at least nine feet tall and it was written off as a hoax produced by double exposure
this annoyed the reverend since he considered himself to be an honest man
he decided to send the photo for further analysis and scientists at the time stated that there was
no evidence whatsoever that the image had been altered or tampered with in any way
this has also caused the image to be considered one of the best photos
of a supernatural being ever captured both because of the clarity of the photo
and the fact that it has been declared as genuine the identity of the monk however remains a mystery
