This dark story begins in New Orleans, the most haunted city in the world… when Robert and Yvette, a high society couple, desperate for the blessing of not having a child, went to Dr. Gottschalk who helped the couple with a fertility method with some sort of occultism, through which months later a beautiful baby girl named Violette was conceived. 

The girl’s name was given in allusion to her dazzling violet eyes, which matched perfectly with a pair of amethyst earrings, a gift from Dr. Gottschalk.The girl brought happiness to her loving parents and to the servants who worked in the house.

Violette had a nanny, a mulatto woman, who was always on hand to make sure she lacked nothing, she was even so crazy that the girl kept throwing tantrums, but still, her tenderness delighted everyone.

Violette’s father had to go out frequently for work for several days, the girl always burst into tears to take her with him, but the mother would not let her because the place her husband was working was dangerous.

One day Yvette’s mother had a severe illness, and she had to travel to another city to take care of her. Robert had to go on another trip, but this time Violette would get her way, for by means of tantrums he managed to convince his father to take her to the nanny.

Sadly, with the trip, the days of happiness were about to end… Violette got a disease that led to her death. Robert took her to the eye doctor to see if he could do something for the child, but it was too late, so he had to write a letter to his wife announcing that their daughter had just left.

The parents were devastated, if it wasn’t for the servants, the house and the work would have fallen apart. A month passed since the girl had been buried but they couldn’t move forward, they didn’t want to have another child, they wanted their Violette back more than anything, so they decided to go beyond what human power can achieve.

They approached Dr. Gottschalk to bring their child back to them, but he refused because he said they should let their child rest in peace, even so, there would do anything to find someone who would help them.

With a large sum of money, a voodoo sorceress agreed to bring Violette back, they dug up the body on a full moon and during a moon cycle, the witch performed rituals to revive her. The next night of the full moon, Robert and Yvette answered the knock on their doors, it was Violette who was knocking, repeating the word: Mama.

Violette had come back to life and her parents were happy to embrace her again, but what they could not see, is that Violette was not the same, she was now a cold and expressionless child, she seemed to be always absent…

As time passed, the girl became wild, began to eat animals and raw meat, and grunted as if she was some kind of animal.

The servants knew that the girl’s return came from something dark and powerful. Her nanny could not bear to see Violette in those conditions, as if she was a zombie, so she, along with other servants hidden from their parents, took her to Marie Laveau’s daughter, a powerful sorceress who could help them.

The sorceress was beside the witch who resurrected Violette, who was ashamed of what she did for money, so she would cooperate in making amends for her sin, although unfortunately what is already dead cannot be killed, so the sorceress could not return Violette to her previous state.

So the Resurrecting Witch took responsibility and took Violette… The girl’s parents as if by magic overcame the second loss more easily and were then blessed with a baby.

Time passed and the witch who was looking after the girl died, but no one found out the whereabouts of Violette, until many decades later a family discovered something creepy in their home, which was that of the witch in ancient times, a mummy who had some violet stone earrings in the attic.

They said that at night they heard the mummy come to life, as they heard footsteps and grunts… but that which tormented them would be gone forever, when Hurricane Katrina arrived, taking the mummy away by its waters, so it is unknown where Violette lives today, who after so many years still cannot rest.

Many of us know and have even sung the song “La La La” produced by Naughty boy and interpreted by Sam Smith, which is quite catchy being honest…

But what you are about to know, might change your perception about this song since it is the terrifying story behind it. Many do not know that this song as well as the movie “The Wizard of Oz” is based on a Bolivian legend related to a boy and “The Uncle” a demon that usually lives in the mines…

It all starts with the difficult life of an 8 year old deaf boy, who is in the care of his violent and alcoholic father, until one day he decides to run away; On the street, he meets a homeless dog who becomes his best friend.

As days go by, the boy discovers that he has a gift, he can perceive evil and also has the power to make it stop.

The first person he helped was an old man, who was constantly humiliated by the children and adults, people threw stones at him and constantly made fun of him. When the child felt the evil, he faced the old man’s attackers and shouted as if an earthquake was born from his mouth, everyone present ran away, and the grateful man decided to follow the child on his aimless journey.

Fate led them to meet a deformed man who had been part of a satanic sect. When he wanted to get out of it, a demon named “The Uncle” had disfigured his face out of revenge. It is said that this demon has the appearance of a goat with human features, he lives in a cave in the desert, where he whispers the evil that exists in the world, the people who have heard that infernal voice, cannot understand what he says, but they remain crazy for life…

The boy and his friends went to the devil’s lair to fight him. As they stood in front of the entrance to the cave, the adults were already beginning to hear the horrible whispers of the evil being and were beginning to lose their minds, so they decided to leave before the damage was permanent.

The child entered the cave alone, from which he never came out, yet it is said that the child continues to fight evil, for when people approach the gloomy place you can still hear the empowering cry of a child.

A chilling and creepy story may be the case of Elisa Lam, a woman who had a very unusual experience inside an elevator.

Well, it all starts in February 2013, when a Canadian student named Elisa Lam decided to take a trip to Los Angeles, and then chose to stay at the “Cecil Hotel“, known for having an affordable stay downtown.

The hotel is also known for housing somewhat peculiar guests like the Black Dahlia, it has been the place from which many people have lost their lives, either accidentally or not…

Shortly after Elisa Lam stayed at the Hotel, the young woman was found inside a water box almost 2.5 meters high, which means that it would be almost impossible for the young woman to reach the top of the water tank.

When the cops found her there were no stairs or anything that could be used to climb, the main question was raised: how did she get there?

After much speculation, the authorities decided to request the recordings made by the hotel security cameras to see if there was anything that had happened to the student before she died and that’s where the mystery begins…

When they saw the tapes, they noticed that Elisa Lam was behaving strangely.

In the pictures, it was possible to see Elisa Lam entering the elevator and when she realized that she did not move, she started pressing all the buttons, but she did not stop there.

Elisa starts to behave in a strange way, looking through the elevator door to see if someone is coming and then running to hide in a corner as if she were running away from someone… but strangely when looking at the video there is no evidence of someone actually pursuing her so, what is actually happening?

The video itself is pretty spooky and mysterious, you can watch the video and observe the strange behavior of the young student:

As you can see, there are moments where Elisa got out of the elevator and started making very unusual movements with her hands, as if she was interacting with someone or something that was not visible for the human eye.

Then, when she decided to leave the elevator, you can notice that it begins to work again, in a normal way, just going through all the floors that Elisa had clicked before, but now completely empty…

What was even more intriguing is that the test results showed that Elisa had not consumed any substances that could have affected her condition, she was completely healthy.

Eventually, the case was given as an accident, but to this day this case remains a mystery.

After all, how could Elisa Lam have gained access to the terrace? If the area was restricted, to gain access it would have been necessary to open a couple of locked doors… And what’s more, how could she have climbed into the water box and then entered, how would Elisa have blocked the water tank again?

This case left everyone thinking, what could have happened to Elisa Lam?

Their creepy and their kooky, mysterious and spooky, their all together ooky…

If you didn’t sing along or hum to the rhythm of the Addams Family’s theme song as you read the paragraph above, then there is something wrong!

The Addams Family were a very unusual and bizarre family and every time we knew a little more about them, we were more interested in their history and their lives. Each of the characters is unique and interesting, but all together they are simply wonderful.

“The Addams Family”, created from Charles Addams’ comic strips, was subsequently made into a popular series from 1964 to 1966.  After the tremendous success of this crazy family, a series of cartoons and some films among other adaptations were released.

One of the biggest mysteries of this family was their huge and enigmatic mansion, which left astonished anyone who entered it, and not only for how beautiful it was but for the crazy things that could be found there…

“Their house is a museum when people come to see ’em, they really are a screaming, The Adams family”

In honor of the animated flick which was on theaters October 11, 2019, Brownstone Brooklyn was home to the Addams Family Mansion!  

Booking.com was inviting people to spend an extra spooky and special Halloween night at the Addams Family themed Mansion and everyone freaked out, who wouldn’t?

“Super fun! Every room was so nice and spooky! I would love to do this again!” Stephanie

The 3,700 square-foot 19th-century townhouse was personalized with such a terrifying yet aesthetic decor to fit our favorite macabre family, there was a lot of detail in every corner and in every room.

The mansion was filled with amazing decorations and items that would rank you in the creepy, magical world of the Addams Family. Items such as Morticia’s carnivorous plants, Wednesday’s beheaded doll, Lurch’s “you rang” bell. The best thing ever is that guests were able to interact freely, and fully immerse themselves into the spooky and freaky universe of the Addams.

Booking.com gave a little treat to the guests that got a “golden ticket”, a nice private screening of the movie accompanied with some delicious spooky snacks.

The mansion was opened for booking on October 28 until November 1, with stays available for one night only. It had a capacity of up to four people and the overall experience had a price of $101.10 per night. 

This was not the first time Booking.com created a themed or fairytale-like setting for a special overnight stay, and even though the property isn’t taking reservations at the moment, we hope another event like this will be available once again… if so, we will make sure to let you know!

For all the lovers of the unusual, medical students and the curious in general, have a must-see the Mütter Museum if they come to Philadelphia.

The Mütter Museum is a medical museum located in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where you can find a collection of medical rarities, pathological and anatomical specimens, wax models and antique medical equipment.

The original purpose of this collection donated by Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter in 1858, was for research and medical education and Although most visitors are not fully interested in medicine or do not seek to become doctors, this museum is surprising, a bit creepy and interesting…

It is guaranteed to leave you perplexed to see everything on display!

You have to put it in the context of the time, where overly bleeding and surgeries without anesthesia were things that hospitals would deal with every day, that is if you were not exorcised or sacrificed for being possessed by a demon…

One of the objects found in such an insufferable collection is the brain of Albert Einstein.

When the physicist died in 1955, Thomas Stolz Harvey, a pathologist from Princeton, stole Einstein’s brain and cut it into 170 pieces which are now on display in this museum. 

Among his collection are also the enormous 3-meter-long colon, which contained more than 18 kilograms of fecal matter at the time of the bearer’s death (due to constipation), and a large collection of skulls with various malformations and skeletons, such as Siamese twins.

There is also the wax model of a human horn that came out of a woman called Madame Dimanche.

She lived in Paris in the early 19th century and strangely at the age of 76, in her forehead, a horn began to grow. When she was 82 years old this horn had reached 20 cm in length. It has been correctly removed by the famous French surgeon Joseph Suberbeillom (Joseph Souberbeille, 1754-1846)

This collection continued to grow, and today has no less than 20,000 pieces and is undoubtedly an extravagant yet fun and educational tour of Philadelphia.

A nightmare is an unpleasant dream that produces horror while you sleep, our parents used to tell us that dreams could not hurt us, unfortunately, this is not the case since apparently there have been some cases where nightmares could even take your life…

In Los Angeles, California during the 1970s, a group of Asian refugees began to report very intense nightmares, some refusing to sleep because of the deep fear, which was so immense that they found it difficult to rest. 

The origin of these nightmares was due to the fact that many people had lived in deplorable conditions in the past, within their countries of origin: immigrants of the ethnic group known as Hmong or Miao had fled the war when Vietnam attacked Laos. 

However, even though many had the opportunity to escape to new horizons, unfortunately, this was not enough to save their lives, the war was still in their dreams since a large number of these immigrants had died in their sleep.

The first known case occurred in 1977 in Orange County. There, Ly Houa – a hardworking, physically fit man – died inexplicably. That was the beginning of a dozen deaths of the same nature. Within five years, more than twenty healthy young Hmong immigrants had suffered the same fate.

The parents of one of the victims mentioned that their son was afraid of falling asleep, said that there was an entity that was chasing him and would end up catching him if he stayed too long in the dream, so he stayed awake for 3 days. 

Eventually, his father worried parents decided to give him sleeping pills, but instead of helping him to rest, they led him straight into his worst nightmare with just that monster chasing him.

At midnight and for no reason, the young man began to scream in his sleep. His screams were so loud and frightening that they woke his parents up. But unfortunately, it was too late, when the parents arrived at the young man’s room, their poor son who they believed would find a moment of peace in his sleep, was unconscious and lifeless, for that monster had finally caught up with him. 

This syndrome came to be known as sudden unexpected death syndrome although this led to various explanations based on mythology and the paranormal, which spoke of monsters and witches paralyzing their victims in their dreams.

This paranormal event was the watershed that inspired Wes Craven to create Freddy Krueger, a character in the film “Nightmare on Elm Street”.

Have you ever heard about this syndrome and what do you think about it?

Villisca is a small but beautiful town located in the state of Iowa, United States, its name means “nice view”, however in this remote and lonely place, there is a house that scares all its inhabitants because of its horrible past, it’s categorized as one of the most haunted houses in North America.

It all began that day in June 1912 with the Moore family: Josiah, Sarah, and their four children Herman, Katherine, Boyd, and Paul. Sarah spent the day coordinating an event at the church and by the end of the day, Katherine invited a couple of friends, the Stillinger sisters, to a sleepover. 

Everything was happiness and peace, but this would last until nightfall… for a terrible tragedy was about to happen.

While everyone was sleeping, a wicked man entered the house, and room by room it became the family’s worst nightmare. First, he entered the marriage room, where the last thing the poor couple saw was the evil man with an ax, this same tragedy struck the four Moore siblings…

After having taken all those lives, it was not enough, because he went to the last room where the Stillinger sisters were sleeping, andand he did the same to others

Just thinking of this act, one can imagine what kind of a ruthless person the man would be, and curiously enough the man covered all the mirrors in the house as if he did not want to see his reflection…

The next day the villagers found out about this incident, and their peace would be over forever, as they never knew who really ended the lives of those 8 people, starting a war of accusations between neighbors, as it was suspected that it was one of its inhabitants.

Not only did this terrible event dull the shine of the town, but in the house, a dark portal was opened, which allows the spirits to be in our world, even though they no longer belong to it…

During the day you can feel a heavy negative vibe coming from the house, but at night, it seems that the victims come alive again, as you hear the cries of the girls, occasionally laughter too, and objects are moved by themselves.

People who lived in the house after the incident had to leave it because the father of the family was induced by something to do evil things.

Today the house has been converted into a tribute to the victims and was remodeled to look exactly like it did at the beginning of the last century, when the Moore family and their guests, after a perfect day, had the most tragic and unimaginable experience.

Have you heard about this case before and do you believe the spirits of these families still haunt the house?

In 1822 at Huntsville, Alabama, the largest and oldest cemetery was built: Maple Hill.

During the day it is a beautiful place where more than 80,000 souls rest in peace, but at night it becomes a sinister and chilling place, as many spirits rise… especially the spirits of children, whose frequent paranormal manifestations led the state to build them a playground so they could play.

The legend begins with a pitiful story: during the 60s in Huntsville there was a wave of child missing, which days their bodies would, unfortunately, be found and buried in a lonely area of the pantheon. Days after, the children would be properly buried within the cemetery, now with their respective graves, where their families could mourn them.

The time of misfortune passed, and the night visitors and workers of the pantheon began to witness children appearing among the tombs and in the area where they had been buried by their captors. The stories that these children still lived in our world were spread by word of mouth, and it was decided to put a playground for them so that they could have fun at night.

Since then that playground decorates the cemetery, giving it a little bit of a youthful look, but also a little bit of a disturbance. However, the most frightening part of this legend, is that the people of Huntsville say that between the desolate and dark hours of 10 at night and 3 in the morning, the children really use the playground that was given to them.

Witnesses report that whether the wind is blowing or not, the swings move in a synchronized and autonomous manner, as if infants we cannot see were rocking, but the impression does not end there for some, as they can suddenly notice that the earth in front of the swings rises, as if someone had jumped.

In the swings, as well as in another of the games that include a slide, you can hear the shaking laughter of the children and you can also see their small silhouettes playing and running; even some people who are more receptive to superhuman presences, have been invited to play with them.

Daredevils who have gone at night and taken pictures in the garden can see luminous circles in their captures, and paranormal researchers claim that the spirits react to their attempts at communication.

Although there was once an attempt to remove the courtyard in order to bury the dead, local people preferred to keep it, and also managed to get new games installed. It can be said that the children of Maple Hill always liked to play, even after death.

Have you ever encounter the spirit or ghost of a child?

There is a long-told and creepy story about the Hotel California, related to a catchy song that seems to have dark meanings, to its lyrics and even it’s said to be related to the devil…

 

In 1976, the song “Hotel California” reached the ears of the world with the group “The Eagles”, and even though we all have found ourselves singing the catchy chorus of this masterpiece, there is a peculiar and chilling meaning behind which led to several rumors and theories about the song being related to paranormal phenomenons and Satanism.

The legend behind Hotel California:Famous artist Don Henley is said to have written the song based on his experience in the magical town of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur.

In the song, it is mentioned that a man arrives in the darkness of the night at a hotel where he is received by a charming woman, who with a candle in hand, shows him the way. The man asks for his wine and gets as a reply “we haven’t had that spirit since 1969”.

 

And although Don Henley denies having been a guest of the hotel, since before the song was created, in the “Hotel California” there was a legend that the spirit of a girl named Mercedes, invited the locals to drink wine, and then disappeared.

Other rumors are that the song is about a black mass and that the girl who receives the man is a priestess who wants to introduce the new man to the church of Satan.

There are phrases that support this theory such as:“This could be heaven or this could be Hell”, “We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”, “They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast” and “You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!’

Another, slightly darker, legend says that the group of The Eagles signed a pact with the devil in order to obtain a huge success before writing the song.

 

The song could be dedicated to the Satanist “Anton Szandor LaVey”, since the year 1969 mentioned in the song, is the year in which the Satanic Bible written by him was published. And the name “Hotel California” refers to the place where Anton founded Satan’s church, on California Avenue in San Francisco.

We can even see on the cover of the “Hotel California” album, at the top a sinister face that seems to be Anton, who proclaimed himself “The Black Pope”.

 

Some claim that in the part of the song: “Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say” if you play it backward you can hear “Yeah Satan hears this, he had me believe in him”. Some say they can clearly hear this satanic message when played backward, others say this message is none existent, plenty of theories can be found online about this topic.

The many theories that emerged from this song had people questioning the inspiration for this hit, to the point that the artists were being asked multiple times about it.

 

During an interview, Glenn Frey once said “Everybody wants to know what that song was about, and we don’t know”

Don Henley also said that every fan had their own interpretation of the song, however, he shared what the lyrics meant to him: the dark side of the American dream, it’s about excess, narcism, and the music business. Still, it can have a million interpretations.

 

They also explained the vision they had in mind regarding the music video…

“It was just one shot to the next – a picture of a guy on the highway, a picture of the hotel, the guy walks in, the door opens, strange people.  We decided to create something strange, just to see if we could do it. And then a lot was read into it – a lot more than probably exists.”

 

This is certainly one of the most popular and sort of creepy theories within the music industry, what do you think about it?
