I can't be certain due to the rough pictures, but that looks like a flea market on a wall. The swords are almost 100% fakes, but it's entirely possible among that mass are some actual gems the owner may not even know they have.

They actually had a silver bullet press and a silver blade set to kill monsters. Got to love the pink handcuffs in the last photo there. I forgot a photo check this one out. a booby trap gun? What even is that and its a recreation but still made in the 60's? I really like the working cap and ball pistol though just $325 and its an antique so no waiting.

The cap and ball looks in the picture to be in what's called "relic" condition so that would explain the price. It probably doesn't have any major markings either. If they have anything remotely like the old booby traps people would put in their houses back in the early 20th century, they could have a legal firestorm on their hands. The booby trap guns I know of consisted of some type of mechanism to fire the weapon when a particular door was opened, etc. Usually through stringing them up in corners.

Really old handcuffs can bring good money, but the ones in the upper corner look to be your run of the mill cop cuffs from the modern era.

Yeah, I don't mind. I've witnessed several "shadow people". You know, the quick darting solid black mass types. I've seen UFOs a few times (please understand UFO doesn't always mean aliens), and I've heard more weird noises than I dare to try to count. I've seen a lot of stuff. Believe me, I'll take all of that over BDSM clowns

Speaking of shadows, were you only able to see them at a certain time? or was it on a permanent basis? Could these very shadows have made the sounds you're talking about? On the subject of UFOs, I was a little confused. What did you mean by that?" Could you confuse military planes, missiles, tests, etc. or count them as UFOs?

As background, I live in a country where a small amount of people practice Santeria.

So, one day as I'm taking my bike route I see some weird colorful thing a bit deep in the side of the road. My pea sized brain, for some godforsaken reason, decided it was worth to stop and see. I'm in my twenties by that point, so I can't even blame me being young for being stupid.

So, in the most character gets killed in slasher film way, I go past several trees and bushes to get to this small clearing. There I find a portrait hung on a tree, a couple of statues of their saints, some weird doll things attached to the trees, some drums, rotten food, a plastic table with what once used to be a white cloth on it, several used candles on it and all around the place. The cloth had big dark stains on it, I don't know of what, but I do know santeros practice animal sacrifices.

Shit looked straight up out of a movie set. I took a shitload of pics, but I posted them on social media at the time and I don't want my comments here to be tracked to IRL me, so I can't share them. I'm not a fucking video game character who can deduce how long the place was left abandoned with a single glance, so I couldn't answer that either. I just left after a bit.

Cool sight, left me creeped out for a while.

I've come across some crazy sights in a few foreign night clubs. I've seen paranormal things too...but unfortunately the night clubs were still more baffling.

I saw the

"Shadow people", contrary to Youtube ghosthunter experiences, can be seen any time of day. I know there are tons of explanations for how they manifest, but the truth is unless you yourself are dead then there's no way anyone knows how this stuff occurs. In many cases yes, the sounds are accompanied by the manifestations.

As far as UFOs go, lots of things can be under that name. Just because you see some lights in the sky, it doesn't mean there's a little green man or tall grey man behind it. For centuries people saw things near the ground and up in the air that we eventually found a natural explanation for. That's going to happen for modern society too someday. However, there are those rare situations where you just aren't gonna ever figure it out.

Having been in a military family and being around a lot of bases, it's generally easy to know when the boys and girls in uniform are playing with the latest tax-payer funded toys, hehe.

Edit: By the way, you asked about military examples. Flares dropped from aircraft are very often confused as UFOs. They can have parachutes attached to them which lets them stay airborne for some time. Someone miles away doesn't see the release, but only the flares hanging around in the sky, boom, you've got a UFO sighting.

Another kinda cool thing I stumbled onto out in the woods, it was probably an Indian watch tower or a small shack for a watcher to bunk in at night. It was 6 or 7 miles away from Shoofly village ruins. Here is a sign from the ruins that tells a bit about it. A 79 room apartment complex from over a 1,000 years ago.

at the sight no walls are still standing but here is what I found just bellow the top of a ridge that let you see for miles in 3 directions but was a real bitch to climb.

Definitely people. Too many to list, and I forget a lot over time. Some did end up in the mental hospital. Long term.

People are way more weird than the paranormal ever will be. I'm convinced spirits often don't show themselves because a couple of 20 year olds with a camera can't even handle a bird flying around in the dark without screaming. Or, if they do show up and are violent, it's because they had to deal with Zak Bagans daring them to do something.

I wish I still had some of the Polaroid pictures I've taken in various places. I had some funky stuff on them.

I don't have any photos of either of these events, though this first one happened relatively recently.

I was driving along a backroad on the other side of an air srtip with my family when I happened to glance to the right and notice that there was an airplane seemingly hanging in the air. Like, not moving. At all. Just frozen there. Thinking I was hallucinating I asked the fam to look, and they were all astonished too. We slowed down to nearly a crawl and the plane was still just... hanging there. Now this road is flat af. I have driven it before, and it is smoother and flatter than a loli's chest. This wasn't some kind of weird motion/movement thing caused by perception. I got so creeped out we all sped off, and for some reason no one thought to take a picture of this.


This one is truly creepy to me still today.

I had a cleaning gig that I did with a friend of my parents(gonna call this person C for short). It was only on Saturdays because we cleaned... churches. Yep, just churches. Surprisingly good money in that and you can hit several in one day if the area is small enough.

Well anyways, there was a separate backroom in this church. It was oddly placed, but according to C this was always the last place that got cleaned since it was kind of out of the way. So we cleaned the whole church, took maybe 30 minutes to do what we had to do as it wasn't especially large or dirty. We met up in front of the room to this door and prepared to go inside as C had done so many other times before.

We opened the door and both of us froze in the door. The light was weird in the room. It's like light wasn't following the normal rules. There was a narrow band of light about 3 quarters back, but the light was quite bright. Somehow it didn't seem to light the rest of the room at all. Even the light from the main church seemed to stop at the door frame. What's more, I've always had excellent night vision, but the interior of the room seemed like it was barely perceptible. It was like it was... fuzzy almost? I could see vague shapes and objects, but I couldn't make out anything. And it felt like I should be able to see things, but the room at large was like it was only lit ever so slightly, enough to just barely tell there were things in it. This was all underscored by some low music, like something out of the 50's maybe, but it was just instrumental.

Both C and I got the vague sense there was someone in the room, but we couldn't see anyone, and no one responded to our calls. We ran outta there. When we got out to the car we talked about it a bit. C told me that they felt fear like they had never felt before, and I agreed, except for a strange dream I'd had once when I'd felt the same sense of fear. We both agreed though, that whatever was going on in that room was evil, dark. But it was a strange, primal fear. I was so scared I felt nauseous and like I had heartburn at the same time. That feeling comes back even now when I think of that day, that door, that room. Like I narrowly escaped some fate that I can't even begin to fathom.

I met up with C again recently, and they brought up the topic of that room. Turns out they had quit cleaning that particular church. Right after they dropped me off all those years ago, they had called the church and told them they wouldn't be cleaning for them anymore. Oddly, C felt the need to take me aside from everyone else to tell me this. I really think this traumatized C as much as it did me, and that shared trauma became both a bond and but also something that could only be spoken about in hushed tones away from others. But C, like me, still feel fear at the thought of that room. I'll never know what was in there, and I don't want to.

Another strange place is a shop in the town I live close to. It is only open on Sat for 4 hours and on Sun for 2 hours. That is it, it is locked up with huge dogs roaming the fenced in parking lot the rest of the week. There is a howitzer gun in the parking lot also. It gets stranger as you go in though. the photos are shitty because no camera allowed so had to be sneaky.

This place looks so cool! Even if mysterious and possibly cursed I'd love to have a store like that in my neck of the woods.
