THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF THE WHALEY

In August 1858, an arson attack destroyed some of their businesses. Crushed by this loss and the death of Thomas at the beginning of that year, the family moved to San Francisco where Whaley worked as curator of the US Army.UU.

After the tragic divorce from violet one of the daughters of Thomas Whaley, which caused a tremendous humiliation in this in 1884 and a period of great depression, supervised by the local doctor, violet ended up committing suicide in house skyrocketing a bullet in the heart on August 18, 1885.

The first ghost documented in the Whaley House is James Robinson nicknamed "Yankee Jim". James Robinson was charged with attempted robbery in San Diego in 1852, and hung on a gallows on the back of a pickup truck at the place where House is now. Although Thomas Whaley had been a spectator of the execution, don't let that deter you from buying the property a few years later and the construction there itself a House for his family.

The ghost of Anna Whaley has also been, usually in the rooms on the ground floor or in the garden. In 1964 a researcher could see the ghost of Mrs. Whaley: "suddenly I realized something in the wall", said Philbin, "there was something airy white, seemed an apparition of some sort, no doubt was the silhouette of Anna Whaley"

The Whaley House continues to live quietly on the Avenida San Diego as it has done for a century and a half. Every day visitors come from all over the world to visit the historical Museum. It contains so much history within its walls, that even skeptics will enjoy the tour. For believers and skeptics alike, the House brings them back again and again, in search of those elusive ghosts.

MANCHAC SWAMP

Manchac is a small town in the State of Louisiana, in the United States, which is located on the shores of Lake Maurepas and close to New Orleans, the traditional southern area where the French and their slaves from Africa settled.

Precisely, with slaves became traditions and beliefs of the other continent, some religious such as Voodoo.

Legend has it that a Queen (Marie Laveau, 1794-1881) Voodoo was accused of exercise acts of witchcraft and imprisoned in by life in a horrific prison in the region. Deprived of their liberty forever view cast a curse on these watery parts. The beautiful cypresses claimed dark forms, the water became turbid and crocodiles learned to wait for their victims silent.

It was to Laveau to who responsible for the hurricane that wiped out three small towns in the area, in 1915 leaving trail of habitability. But this depends on what villager asked, since there are people who tell another story. It's the legend of Julie White, a Princess Voodoo that used to sit on the porch of his house and sing: "one day I'm going to die and I will take all of you with me". Believe or burst, the day of his funeral - in 1915 - was when the mentioned hurricane was unleashed.

Not only legends Voodoo there is to fear. Also the cajun French immigrants belief that colonized the region argues that there dwells the bloodthirsty Rougarou, what others know as the man Wolf.

The dark form of the trees, which are like claws trying to catch who ventures inside; the frogs singing at night, that worries the bravest; or muddy waters, which convey the feeling that fall nobody will hear SOS and will come into rescue, make Manchac swamp an ideal area for filming horror films, which have been able to appreciate several classic directors of the genre.

Also during the second world war there was damage caused by the fire of some vaults, because of which some corpses were the action of fire. In 1966, there was another fire that had greater consequences and later due to the paving of the neighboring streets, water leaks appeared.


 

BLAIR WITCH

In February 1785, in the old village of Blair (currently Burkittsville), that was in the central North of Maryland, two hours away from Washington DC, an elderly woman called Elly Kedward lured several children from the city to go to his house and brought them blood. When the children told it to her parents and taught them the wounds, citizens reacted with brutal speed.

The Bermuda triangle

Also known as the Devil's triangle and Limbo of the lost, it is a place where there have been numerous seemingly inexplicable disappearances of boats and planes. Likewise, there have been numerous reports of UFOs and there are even those who believe that the place can be a dimensional gate...

Several explanations have been suggested to account for the mystery, from alien abductions to artifacts of defunct Atlantis until others with scientific basis as the theory of the bubbles of methane.

However, while almost all cases may be scientifically explainable at the present time, there are some stories that could be labeled as indecipherable mysteries that keep alive the legend of the also called "Devil's triangle"

"fanciful explanations"

A jump in space-time
There are those who say that in the triangle could be a worm hole, a singularity in the space-time fabric by virtue of which ships and planes missing could have been transported to another universe.

"UFOS and aliens"
It has been suggested that the triangle could be working as a station of aliens in which people, boats and planes missing would be kidnapped in order to be studied or perhaps (at least in some cases) in order to be saved from a Holocaust.

"Sea monsters"
One of the more fanciful theories is the one according to which sea monsters (type the Kraken...) would be responsible for both wreck...
