Police officers deal with all kinds of strange calls that they have to attend to, from petty
crimes such as shoplifting or disturbing the peace to more serious cases like kidnapping
and bank robberies.
But some police officers have experienced scary mysteries while on duty when a seemingly
normal day turns into a paranormal police case.

Indian Island
Jamie Dube is a former patrol officer from Maine and one of the founding members of East
Coast Ghost Trackers.
While he was still a patrolman, however, he experienced a scary paranormal mystery on
Indian Island at an area called The Pond.
While he was driving around, he saw a woman emerging from the pond area, dressed in all
white clothing.
At first, he thought that she may be a hospital worker who was on her way to her car or to
work.
He decided to call it in, stating that he would be there for a while and as he sat in
his car, the woman walked ever closer to him.
At this point, she was about 25 feet away from his vehicle and he started to feel uneasy,
thinking that he should probably get out of the car to investigate.
But in the next instant, she was right in front of his car, looking straight at him.
He realized that she didn’t seem to have any facial features as if her face was blurred
and she seemed to be floating rather than walking.
Then, inexplicably, she disappeared.
He jumped out and looked all around as well as under his car, but there was no sign of
the woman.
He returned to his vehicle and radioed dispatch, stating that he was on his way in and that
he had some questions.
He would later be told by the dispatch operator that he had seen a woman known as “The White
Lady”.
They explained that it is the spirit of a woman who is often seen at The Pond and there
is a belief that, if you were to tell her a wish, she would grant it.
Dube went back to The Pond on several occasions but never saw the White Lady again.

Lanarkshire Poltergeist
On the 8th of August, 2016, a mother and son from Scotland contacted police after they
suffered a series of terrifying encounters with what they described as a supernatural
force.
They told police that they contacted them because they had become panicked and didn’t
know where else to turn.
Officers who responded to the call at Stonelaw Road initially assumed that the incident was
related to a mental health issue, but when they entered the house, they realized that
they were dealing with an actual paranormal case.
As they entered the house, officers witnessed lights throughout rooms in the house going
off and when they went back on, the lampshades had inexplicably been turned upside down without
anyone being near them.
They also saw oven doors opening by themselves and clothes flying across one of the rooms
as if being thrown by an invisible force.
The family’s pet dog, a Chihuahua which had been playing outside in the garden when
they arrived, was found standing on a 7-foot high hedge.
A police source later explained that they were baffled by the incident and had no idea
where to go from there since no crime was committed.
All they could do was follow up on any further reports of disturbances.
They further stated that police officers with more than 20 years of experience have said
that they’ve never experienced anything like the incident before and that they were
struggling to get their heads around it.
Since they could find no reasonable explanation for what they saw, officers contacted a Catholic
Church who sent a priest to the house to bless it.
The family has since left the scary house and police were looking into the history of
the building to determine whether there had been similar incidents in the past.

Jennifer Groesbeck
On Friday the 6th of March, 2015, Jennifer Groesbeck and her 18-month-old daughter, Lily
had been visiting with her parents in Salem in Utah and were making their way back to
their home in Springville.
The following morning, her father, Chad, woke up early and unexpectedly, feeling like something
was wrong.
He couldn’t call Jennifer, as her phone was broken, but he couldn’t shake the feeling
that he needed to go and find her.
And so, he climbed in his car and travelled to Springville, but when he reached her house,
he saw that her car wasn’t there and he knew his instincts had been right.
He then backtracked from Jennifer’s house, driving the roads that she would likely have
taken and to his despair, came upon a scene that made his heart drop.
Jenifer’s SUV was upside down in the Spanish Fork River where it had been discovered by
a local fisherman.
The man alerted police who, when they arrived, believed that it was a possible case of an
abandoned vehicle.
But as they moved closer to the car, they noticed someone inside and they quickly moved
to flip the car over.
Before they could reach the vehicle, however, they heard a woman’s voice calling out for
help from inside and they rushed over to get the car right-side-up.
Inside, they found Jennifer and Lily who was still strapped to her car seat, inches above
the freezing water.
Jennifer, however, had passed away on impact and it would be determined that she lost control
of the car before plunging into the river.
Lily would go on to make a full recovery, despite spending nearly 14 hours upside down
in freezing conditions.
The 7 first responders were, however, baffled at the female voice that they all heard crying
out for help as they approached the car.
When they visited with Jennifer’s family, they explained what they had heard and her
brother, Garrett, explained that he believes it was Jennifer calling out for Lily to be
saved.

Rendlesham Forest Incident
The Rendlesham Forest Incident is a documented paranormal case that occurred between the
26th and 28th of December, 1980 near Rendlesham Forest in England.
Since that day, it is still regarded as the most famous claimed UFO event in the history
of the United Kingdom and remains one of the most baffling reported UFO events in the world.
While stationed as a senior security officer at a former U.S. Air Force facility called
RAF Bentwaters, Sgt.
Jim Penniston and his Air Police team were called out to investigate reports of unexplained
lights in the forest and at first, they assumed that it must be an aeroplane that had crashed.
But when they arrived at the scene, they discovered a strange, triangular craft resting on three
legs in a small clearing.
He described it as about 9 feet long and 6.6 feet high and as they approached it, their
radio equipment started acting up and they switched to a communications relay system.
Penniston and Airman First Class, Edward Cabansag (Kuh Bann Sag), decided to inspect the craft
more closely and they noticed blue and yellow lights swirling around on its surface.
They also noticed that the air around them and the strange object seemed to have an electric
charge to it.
He explained that they could all feel the static charge in their clothes, skin and hair
and that nothing in his training had prepared him for what they were witnessing.
He further described the craft as having strange symbols, about three inches high and 2.5 feet
long, etched into its surface and when he touched it, it felt like warm metal.
He made notes and took photographs of what he saw, but when the photos were returned
from the photo lab, they were all blurred.
About 45 minutes after finding the strange object, the light that was emanating from
it started to grow more intense and as they ran for cover, it soundlessly lifted off the
ground, manoeuvred through the trees and accelerated away at unbelievable speed in full view of
more than 80 policemen who had been assigned to the Security Police Squadron.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared and he added to his notebook the comment;
Speed: IMPOSSIBLE.
Penniston would later state that this was by no means like any type of aircraft that
he had seen before.
All the information that was collected at the site was reported to the military through
the proper channels and Penniston’s team, as well as all other witnesses, were told
to treat it as “Top Secret” and that no further discussion on the matter was allowed.

Teresita Basa
Teresita Basa was born and raised in the Philippines and would go on to graduate from Assumption
College in Manila, Spain.
She then relocated to the United States where she studied at Indiana University, earning
a master’s degree in music.
She would eventually go on to become a respiratory therapist and by the time she was 47 years
old in 1977, she was living in Chicago while working at Edgewater Hospital.
On the 21st of February of that year, she finished her shift at the hospital and went
back to her apartment.
There, she spoke to her friend, Ruth Loeb, on the phone for about 20 minutes before saying
that she had to go since she was getting ready for a visit from a man.
At around 8:40 pm, fellow tenants thought they could smell smoke, but couldn’t find
where it was coming from.
They decided to phone the building’s janitor and he immediately contacted the fire department.
When firefighters arrived, they found that the smoke was coming from Teresita’s apartment
and they forced the door open.
They were able to contain the fire in a matter of minutes but found that it had been started
intentionally, as Teresita was found deceased under a mattress, her life ended with a blade.
Detectives determined that the perpetrator had lit the fire to destroy any evidence that
may have been left behind.
There were clear signs that a struggle had taken place, but they couldn’t tell whether
anything had been stolen.
The only vague clue that was found was a note that Teresita had written that read: “Get
theater tickets for A.S.”
Police interviewed her friends and colleagues, but were unable to find any further helpful
information until July, when they were asked to speak to a Doctor called Joe Chua.
Chua explained that his wife, Remy, had been having strange dreams about Teresita.
At first, she tried to ignore them but on one occasion while she was sleeping, she started
speaking to Chua in a female voice that wasn’t her own.
She stated that she was Teresita Basa and that she had been murdered by a man called
Allan Showery.
He had come to her apartment to fix her TV but ended her life instead and she pleaded
for Chua to go to the police with this information.
When his wife woke up, she had no memory of the incident and Chua decided not to contact
the police.
The next week, it happened again, only this time, Teresita was angry and demanded to know
why he hadn’t done as she asked.
He stated that he needed proof before contacting police and she stated that Showery had stolen
some of her jewelry and given it to his girlfriend.
After a thorough investigation, it was found that Showery, who also worked at Edgewater,
had indeed promised to fix Teresita’s TV and he had planned to rob her as he needed
rent money.
After ending her life, he found only $30 in her apartment and stole her jewelry instead.
Police interviewed his girlfriend and realized that she was wearing the stolen items as they
spoke.
Teresita had solved her own scary mystery and Showery was given a sentence of 22 years
in prison.
