a quick search on the internet reveals hundreds and thousands of creepy photos that seemingly have
no explanation many vintage photos claim to have paranormal entities attached to them though this
is often explained away by double or overexposure creepy creature sightings often turn out to be
hoaxes and some mysterious photos are merely the result of a dirty lens but some scary and creepy
photos kept many people scratching their heads before they were finally solved decades later
number five
sts-88 was nasa's first space shuttle mission to the international space station on the 4th
of december 1998 the space shuttle endeavour was launched in order to take the first american
module known as the unity node to the station in a mission that would take just short of 122 days to
complete a creepy photo taken during the mission seems to show what many people believe to be
the black knight satellite many ufologists claim that this object is an artificial satellite that
was created by extraterrestrials and that it's been orbiting our planet for about 13 000 years
it's believed that the theory originated from natural repeating extraterrestrial sources
that were supposedly heard by nikola tesla during radio experiments that he was carrying out
in 1899 long delayed echoes that were first heard by a norwegian amateur radio operator have also
contributed to the theory in 1954 a ufo researcher claimed the united states air force had reported
that they detected two satellites orbiting earth this was during a time when no country had the
technological ability to launch a satellite into orbit and so the theory gained more traction
it would later be noted however that the researcher was promoting a book on
ufos at the time and that he had probably written the reports as a publicity stunt
many conspiracy theorists still insist that the image does in fact show the black knight satellite
but the truth is far less exciting when the image was taken the iss was still under construction
and the american team was on its way to attach their module to that of the russian team
they had taken four thermal covers with them which were to be wrapped around a set of pins
that are used to attach the modules to the shuttle while it's being moved but while the module is
being transported one of the covers came undone and floated away and that is the object that can
be seen in the photos it would eventually fall from orbit and burn up in the earth's atmosphere
number four
on the 13th of june 1993 police were called to the titicus reservoir in new york city
when a deceased man was spotted in the water when the man was retrieved it was found that
he had no identification on him and the only clue to his identity was a vintage photo and a glass
frame that he had with him it was also found that he had about 38 pounds of rocks in a backpack that
was still strapped to his back when police checked local missing persons reports no matches came back
and they were at a loss of who this man could be the photo which showed an elderly man holding a
toddler in his arms was still their only lead and they assumed the man in the water must be
the young boy in the photo as he was wearing clothing from the 50s and 60s in the picture
when they scrutinized the photo more closely they noticed a vintage light fixture in the background
that they assumed was from massachusetts they decided to circulate the photo in the berkshires
and sent it to the berkshire eagle newspaper who printed it a retired teacher named terry
yakovich who had just moved to pittsfield from belleport in new york recognized a building
behind the figures in the photo as one that she had known when she was living in long island
it would then come to light that the man's family had lived in the same spot where the photo was
taken many years ago police would also learn that the light fixture had been installed throughout
western massachusetts decades ago and had also been installed on long island's south shore
but what caught yaakovich's attention was the church auditorium in the village where she had
lived for 47 years and she instantly knew where the photo was taken she contacted police who
were able to find the exact spot now an empty lot the land ownership history was tracked down
through town deeds and found that the house behind the man and the toddler once belonged to the
bookless family before it was destroyed in a fire the man that was found was named andrew bookless
and he was indeed the toddler in the photo being held by his grandfather
his identity was officially confirmed by the westchester county medical examiner's office
and it was found that he'd fallen through the ice on the reservoir months before he was discovered
his family was notified and they told police that andrew had a habit of disappearing for long
periods of time hence he wasn't reported missing for years after he disappeared
number three
a creepy photo found on google earth shows what seems to be a pentagram measuring
1200 feet in diameter etched into the ground on the southern shore of the upper tabal reservoir
in the wilderness of kazakhstan and upon its discovery theories were rife as to why it was
there and who might have created it some people speculated that it was an ancient ritual site
others believed that it may have been the entrance to the underworld but no one was
certain why the symbol would be placed in such an isolated area that seemingly had nothing close by
areas around the symbol show almost no other signs of human habitation the closest settlement being
about 12 miles away to the east the area however is riddled with ancient archaeological ruins
such as bronze age settlements burial grounds and other ruins to add to the confusion when zooming
in on the image on google maps two other areas show up that have been marked by previous visitors
one spot named adam and the other lucifer but the mystery would finally be solved when
the pentagram's true purpose was revealed by emma yusmanova an archaeologist who had been
working in the area for years she explained that the symbol was the outline of a park
made in the form of a star she further clarified that it wasn't some omen of evil
or the entrance to hell but that the star symbol was in fact popularly used during the soviet era
when kazakhstan was still part of the soviet union before its dissolution in 1991 it was common at
the time for buildings flags and monuments to be decorated with stars and the park which is now
being overtaken by weeds bushes and trees would have been a popular camping spot back in the day
number two
since 1978 residents of cornwall england were on cautious lookout after reports were made
of a big black panther-like cat that was spotted in the area specifically in the bodemen moor which
in itself is a creepy isolated place more than 60 sightings of the creature reported and it
was said to be between five and seven feet in length with white yellow eyes
the rumors were quickly justified when livestock in the area started to go missing and in some
cases found after seemingly being hunted by a large animal at first scientists were skeptical of
the sightings as there would need to be a number of the beasts in the area in order to maintain a
breeding population and since the climate and food supply wouldn't support such a creature's survival
but when giant cat-like paw prints were found in october of 2016
near saint estelle it became fairly certain that there was indeed a massive cat lurking in the area
the print was found by a man named john parkinson and when he used a tape measurer to measure the
size of the print it was found to be four inches wide confirming that whatever the creature was
it was massive a man then reported that two months earlier he saw a creature leaping out in front of
him as he was driving in the area he was relieved when they too found a set of prince because he was
certain no one would believe his story in july of 2013 a salesman called city yates saw the beast
at about 9 a.m when he walked out of his house he looked up the street and about 50 yards away
and saw what looked like a black labrador but with longer legs and a flat nose it was the third time
that he had seen the cat since then many people have managed to take creepy photos of the beast
whose existence was by that time fairly certain but in 2016 it was finally revealed that the
cats are indeed real and that they have been there for decades benjamin me the owner of the dartmoor
zoo came forward and told police that three pumas were scheduled to arrive there nearly 40 years ago
the cats were being transported to dartmoor after plymouth zoo was forced to close down and rather
than having her favorite breeding pair sent to another zoo plymouth zoo owner mary chipperfield
decided to release them into the wild along with a younger male to keep them company
me confirmed that he was supposed to take ownership of the three pumas at the time
but that they never arrived chipperfield would not have been legally obliged to report what
she had done as releasing exotic animals into the wild was not illegal in england until 1981
number one
one of the most iconic creepy photos of a ghost sighting is the photo of the brown
lady from raynham hall it's believed that the photo shows the spirit of dorothy walpole
the sister of the first prime minister sir robert she was known as a notorious society beauty
who caused a scandal when she entered into an affair with the penniless lord before marrying
an elderly widower she would eventually pass away at the age of 40 under mysterious circumstances
but her infamy lived on when a photo was taken in raynham hall in 1936 more than two centuries
after her passing and it was hailed ever since by paranormal experts as the most compelling
photograph of a spirit that has ever been taken it has served as the cornerstone of claims for the
supernatural for many decades and until now there has been no alternate explanation for the ghostly
figure that was captured on a staircase in the 400 year old building but alan murty a barrister
and researcher of the supernatural has now found evidence that proves the photo doesn't actually
show a spirit at all a fact that will not sit well for those who have considered the vintage photo
as the holy grail of spiritual photography for so long in 2011 murty discovered a folder in the
manuscripts department of cambridge university's library detailing a massive investigation
undertaken by the society for psychical research into the photograph shortly after it was taken
and the explanation is rather mundane evidence found in the folder includes information revealing
that the camera used to take the photo had leaked light into the photographic plate
this would have caused an abnormality in the image and it was mistaken for a spirit for 75 years
