From the disturbing case of a true exorcism to a young girl who saw her own face on a
milk carton!
Here are ten of the spookiest real-life stories you’ll never believe!
10: Face on the Milk Carton Bonnie Lohman was 7 years old when she visited
her local grocery store and saw her own face on a milk carton.
She couldn't really wrap her head around it.
The black and white photo plastered to the milk carton was definitely her.
It had her blonde hair and her blue eyes.
She was basically looking in a mirror.
So, she showed her father, who actually took the milk carton home and cut the photo out
of it, then gave it to her and said to forget about it.
Bonnie promised that she would never tell anyone and that was it.
What Bonnie didn't know was it the man she lived with was not actually her father.
As it turned out, Bonnie had been abducted when she was only three years old.
Ever since, she had been living in seclusion, hardly ever allowed outside.
But while Bonnie was locked up with someone she thought was her father, her real parents
were out there looking for her.
This is why she was featured as a missing child on a milk carton in the middle of the
1980s.
And as a side note about those milk cartons in the 80s, out of the 200 children who had
their faces printed on cartons, only two of them were ever found still alive.
Bonnie would become one of these survivors.
She was discovered after carrying the photo to a friend’s house one afternoon.
She left the photo inside a box of toys by accident, the family discovered the picture
and called the police, and after a whole lot of confusion, Bonnie was eventually reunited
with her father.
It's not clear why exactly this guy had kidnapped her in the first place, but he was apprehended
and everything turned out just fine.
Can you imagine seeing your own face on a lost person poster??
What would you do??

9: The St. Louis Exorcism In 1949, something strange happened in St.
Louis.
A 14-year-old boy allegedly became possessed by demons.
Priest who bore witness to the child's possession claimed that during the night, he would become
impossibly strong, his body would distort and transform, and he would twist himself
into unusual positions as if his bones were made of rubber.
He would convulse, the bed he lay on would shake, and obscene words would appear as red
welts on his skin.
Doctors couldn't understand what was happening and so the Reverend William S. Bowdern was
called in to conduct an exorcism.
This is the exact case that William Peter Blatty based his bestselling novel The Exorcist
on.
William even claimed to have a copy of the official report of the exorcism.
He spoke with friends of the reverend who had completed the ritual to get as much information
as possible for his book.
Apparently, the Roman numeral X would often appear on the boy's chest, suggesting there
were at least 10 demons involved in the possession.
One of the strangest things that ever happened to the boy was one night while the reverend
watched him sleep.
Thin lines appeared from the boy’s thigh down to his ankle, looking like an invisible
pitchfork was being dragged across his skin, drawing blood!
The exorcism was apparently a huge success.
The demon was finally exercised from the boy after 12 weeks, and the kid actually went
on to live a totally normal life – though all involved in the horrible affair would
be scarred forever.
Yikes!!
Would you be brave enough to try this??

8: Disappeared The vanishing of Bruce Kremen is one of the
most disturbing in history.
The vanishing happened in California on July 12, 1960.
Bruce was last seen near Buckhorn Flat in the Angeles National Forest.
He was with a group of 80 children from the Young Men Christian’s Association, playing
with a bunch of kids his own age on a camping trip.
But then something happened.
Bruce vanished into seemingly thin air.
He was only six years old at the time, unprepared to deal with any kind of survival situation.
But here's where things get crazy.
The group realized he was gone within minutes and began searching the area.
Theoretically, Bruce wouldn't have had enough time to run away anywhere.
Considering how many people were nearby and how many took part in the search, Bruce should
have been found quickly.
But he wasn't.
In the days that followed his disappearance, a massive search party combed the mountainous
area.
Everyone assumed Bruce was lost in the forest somewhere.
But alas, Bruce was never found and the search was called off.
It would be 10 years later in 1970 when Mack Ray Edwards pleaded guilty to killing a trio
of children in California back in the 60s.
He then requested to be sentenced to death for his crimes.
While Mack never admitted to murdering Bruce Kremen, authorities believe he may have been
responsible.
But to this day, Bruce’s body has never been found and since Mack Ray Edwards is dead,
it's not exactly like he can be questioned.
7: South Pole Poisoning The mysterious murder of a man named Rodney
Marks has been unsolved for over 20 years and the investigation is still ongoing.
But there's more to this case than just a bit of murder.
It all started on May 11, 2000.
Rodney came down with a fever, stomach pain, and nausea.
Just 36 hours after he began feeling sick, he was dead.
If Rodney had been back home in Australia, he probably could have been saved by doctors.
But considering he was posted at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, there was not much that
could be done for him.
This is the remotest place in the world and in short supply of medical professionals.
They couldn't even do anything with his body other than keep it inside a freezer at the
observatory for half a year before it could eventually be flown back to society for an
autopsy.
At the time, nobody was really concerned about the autopsy.
They figured he simply died of natural causes.
But six months later when the results came back saying Rodney died because of methanol
poisoning, panic spread through the station like wildfire.
Methanol poisoning means that somebody actually poisoned Rodney on purpose.
An investigation revealed that Rodney had needle tracks on his arms but no illegal substances
in his blood.
They learned Rodney had suffered from alcohol abuse and some assumptions were made that
he may have been driven to ingest the methanol himself because of the loneliness he experienced
in the South Pole.
However, the other scientists at the station said that could not have possibly been the
case.
Rodney was way too panicked after discovering that he was sick, and it definitely was not
part of an act.
To this day, nobody knows who murdered Rodney Marks.
There were only 49 other people on the base at the time and investigators couldn't prove
any of them guilty.
Even more bizarre is that nobody had a motive.
6: A Ghostly Crash In England, the police received a desperate
call from motorists on the A3 highway that a car had veered off the road and crashed.
But when officers arrived to investigate the supposed car accident, they didn't find any
traces of a wrecked car.
But those who reported the incident were convinced that a car had driven off the road.
After all, it wasn’t like they hallucinated a crash.
So, the police searched more extensively and soon discovered, hidden about 20 yards away
from where the crash was reported to have happened, a car twisted in the undergrowth,
blocked from view.
Inside the car was the skeleton of a man.
According to the report from the Daily Mail, he had clearly been dead for a very long time.
The big question is how could a skeleton have driven off the road?
Obviously, nobody witnessed the accident.
The car had been there for months.
The driver of the vehicle was a 21-year-old man who had been reported missing.
He must have gotten into an accident, drove his car all the way through the brush so that
it was impossible to see from the road, and there it sat for months and months.
But what could possibly explain the people who witnessed the crash and phoned the police?
The only thing that makes any sense, even though it doesn't make any sense at all, is
that they somehow saw a repeat of the crash, as if seeing a ghostly replay of it months
after it had actually happened.
It’s impossible and unexplainable, and yet it’s the only explanation!
5: Spontaneous Combustion On December 22, 2010, a man in Ireland died
inside of his home.
The circumstances surrounding his departure from the world were nothing short of baffling.
According to coroner Dr. Ciaran McLoughlin, who was involved in the case, he had never
seen anything like it in the 25 years of his career investigating deaths.
The victim's name was Michael Faherty and he was discovered in his home burned to a
cinder.
What confused investigators was that the fire never spread through the house.
The only damage was to Michael’s body.
It was completely burnt, inside and out.
The floor beneath his body was a bit charred, and it looked like some flames may have scratched
the ceiling above where he was engulfed in an inferno.
Other than that, the fire never went anywhere.
Police searched for the usual suspects.
They tried to find an accelerant, a motive, or anything that could explain why this guy
had seemingly erupted in flames for no reason.
But they didn't find a single clue.
In the end, the coroner ruled it a case of spontaneous combustion.
To date, this has been the only case of spontaneous human combustion ever recorded in Ireland
– and nobody knows why it happened.
4: The Mary Celeste The story of the Mary Celeste is one of the
spookiest.
It was November 7, 1872.
The Mary Celeste set sail from New York Harbor on route to Italy.
The captain of the ship was on board, his wife and daughter were with him, and the vessel
was crewed by eight seamen.
But after just one month, everyone on the ship vanished without a trace.
The Mary Celeste was spotted by a passing British ship on December 5.
The Mary Celeste appeared to be adrift.
So, the other crew went on board.
They discovered a bit of water in the hold, a missing lifeboat, and half a year’s worth
of food and water untouched.
Nobody knew where the captain, his family, or the crew went.
There was no sign of a struggle.
To this day, the Mary Celeste is one of the strangest unsolved maritime mysteries.
Nobody understands why a perfectly sane captain on a perfectly sound ship abandoned it for
no reason in the middle of the ocean, not even bothering to take supplies.
Some have guessed a pirate attack.
Some claim the ship was besieged by a giant octopus.
Some even say the crew simply vanished into thin air.
3: Cell Phone Stalker In 2007, three families in Washington state
were left feeling like they were living inside a horror movie.
These three completely unrelated families experienced some of the creepiest stalking
in history.
According to one of the alleged victims, Heather Kuykendall, she would receive phone calls
at all hours of the night with threats of murder.
The phone calls began out of nowhere, with the caller professing intimate knowledge of
the families.
The caller would know what the individual was wearing, they would sometimes send voice
mails of recordings of private conversations, and they would threaten to kill children,
pets, and even grandparents.
But throughout all the terrifying phone calls, neither a motive nor a demand was ever given.
The police had no idea what to do.
Some claimed the families were making it all up, but that wouldn't make sense unless the
families were all in cahoots with one another.
But why would anyone fake something so silly?
Some have blamed the violent phone calls on pranks, some have said that the police weren’t
prepared to deal with cyber, telephone crimes, and then one day – the phone calls just
stopped.
Nobody was ever hurt and the torment just ended.
No explanation was ever given to the poor families.
2: Supermarket Possession The last place anyone expects to be possessed
by a ghost is in the supermarket, and yet distressing video footage has recently surfaced
online showing an unknown man becoming suddenly possessed by some kind of spirit.
In the video footage, the man can be seen walking through the aisle of the supermarket
totally fine.
It's when he passes the fridge doors and a ghostly reflection appears in the glass that
the man begins to spasm.
It looks as if he’s having an epileptic seizure.
He starts to jerk and grunt and yelp, then drops to the floor and starts pulling on his
T-shirt as if trying to rip something out of him.
Even more bizarre is that things around him start falling off the shelves by themselves.
It’s an absolutely horrifying thing to see.
Keep in mind all of this happened in just a few seconds.
Toilet paper rolls burst from the shelves, something that could have been an apparition
flickered in the glass of the fridge, the man collapsed and stopped moving, and then
it was over.
Unfortunately, we don’t know what became of these this – but hopefully he’s not
possessed anymore.
1: Animals in the Walls A family in Auburn made a very strange discovery
while trying to add insulation to a room in their home.
It seemed like a good idea to take down the drywall and finally add some much-needed insulation
to keep the temperature regulated inside the house.
But when the family opened up the walls, they found dozens of animal carcasses, jars of
spices, and other strange items.
According to the mother of the family, they've been finding animals in their walls ever since
2012.
Any time they do a renovation, there are more and more animal bones.
It's as if somebody constructed the entire home with animal bones hidden behind every
surface.
From what the family can tell, the animal bones came from sometime in the 1930s.
This is based on the old newspapers found along with them.
The poor family bought the house in 2011 as their dream home.
They had no idea it would turn into a nightmare home, and have so far spent at least $20,000
ripping apart the walls, taking out the old bones, and fixing the place up.
Nobody knows exactly why the bones were put in the walls, though some say it could be
a type of Dutch magic believed to heal ailments.
They just better hope the bones weren’t put in the wall for some more nefarious purpose,
like summoning the devil!
What would you do if you found dead animals in your walls?
