If you are looking for some conspiracy theories, paranormal activity, creepy stories that makes you question everything in life, this list is for you

Lost in Space

Legend has it that the ‘Black Knight’ satellite has orbited the world for 13,000 years. Although its true origin remains unknown, there are some theories. The first is that it is actually a thermal blanket that was lost in space during a mission. The second theory is that it’s just some pieces of debris. It is also said that the Black Knight has allegadly sent signals to Earth that have been inspected by NASA, but there have been no clear answers regarding its exact purpose.

Ape on the loose

In 2000, a woman who has chosen to remain anonymous mailed photos of what she claimed to be a monkey in the backyard of her home in Sarasota County, Florida. In addition to the photographies, the woman also sent a letter to the sheriff’s department that detailed the monkey’s strange behavior. While skeptics believe that the creature was just a black bear, the truth is that it does not look much like a bear, but rather a creature like an large ape.

Guests no identified

On May 20, 1967, near Falcom Lake in Manitoba, Canada, Stefan Michalak experienced something he would never forget on his weekend getaway. While hanging out in the lake, Michalak saw two circular objects descending in his direction, landing right next to him. He claimed that when the objects landed, the doors got opened and heard voices speaking to him in a strange language. When he tried to examine the alleged spacecrafts, he burned himself with a grid-shaped vent that also flamed his clothing. What actually happened that day remains a mystery, however Michalak has the burns on him that proves that what he said may be true.

Haunted hospital

This abandoned hospital in Waverly Hills, Kentucky, has had some creepy visitors hanging around for a while. In this photo, you can see what appears to be an old hospital patient who has returned to roaming her old grounds, even stopping for the picture.

Extra hands

For these young students, to have a pic together may be something fun. However when it was revealed, it probably scared them for life as there are two dark hands that do not belong to any of the students. While this could be due to a problem of motion, some believe these are the hands of real ghosts.

Christmas spirit

As this adorable family gathers around the tree, another person is there patiently to open some presents. The spirit that you can see on the ground may have lived in the house, or it was just felt lonely during the holidays. Either way, this was a huge surprise to the family when they looked at the photo after it was taken. Their Christmas celebrations must have been so epic that this hideous guest wanted to join in too!

Everything We Know About Hocus Pocus 2 So Far

Last year it was confirmed that a sequel for the 1993 Halloween classic was being developed by Disney+.

Jen D’ Angelo was hired to write the script for Hocus Pocus 2 and also had been tasked to find a way to include the original main cast, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy at the time.

The film was originally directed by Kenny Ortega, and told the story of a teen boy who moves to Salem with his family and struggles to fit in before awakening three witches known as the Sanderson Sisters. Throughout the years, Hocus Pocus has become something of a cult classic.

“I would like to see a sequel, and I think that the fans would like to see a sequel,” Ortega told ET at the time. “I think it would be much more fun to bring the ladies back. They’re all still vital and in their prime and capable of doing so much that it would be great to see Bette and Kathy and Sarah come back together to do another movie and I think they would like to.”

Early this year, Adam Shankman (Hairspray)  confirmed to be the director on Instagram.

He is currently working on another film for Disney, the Amy Adams-starring Enchanted sequel, Disenchanted.

“I feel incredibly honored and humbled to be guiding forward these two Disney crown jewel legacies. My only hope is to honor those who came before me and build something new and exciting, as I desperately try to not let down the fans and enchant the new initiates! Fingers crossed! Xo”, he expressed.

On Twitter, he added, “I hope to please all the loyal fans. That’s what I tried to do with Hairspray. That’s what my goal is here.”

Our favorite trio have yet to be officially confirmed for the sequel, though each has expressed interest in returning. In the meantime, they will virtually reunite for a good cause in October for “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover.”

Hocus Pocus wouldn’t be the same without the original cast so let’s finger crossed to get these news anytime soon!

Don’t Breathe 2: Stephen Lang Confirms That He Has Already Shot His Part Of The Film

Don’t Breathe was released in 2016, produced and directed by Fede Álvarez. The film stars Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang, and focuses on three friends who get trapped inside a blind man’s house while breaking into it.

The film became one of the surprising horror hits of 2016, which led to the news of a sequel was being developed a while back, and when ScreenRant asked Stephen Lang who played the very deadly blind man in the first film, he replied, “Oh yeah, we’re doing a sequel.”

Now, Don’t Breathe 2, which is reportedly titled Don’t Breathe Again, lately, is currently in the works. Stephen Lang reported via twitter that he’s wrapped filming.

There are not many details  yet about the plot for the sequel, only that the film is being directed by Rodo Sayagues. Producer Sam Raimi is really excited about the project, telling IGN: “It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding.”

In that same interview, Álvarez added: “The challenge obviously is we just don’t want to do the same movie again and just have 2 in it. We’ll feel so embarrassed if we do that. At first our reaction when they told us was no no no no no that’s Hollywood, that’s the devil pushing us to do something just because we can. And then we had an idea that we got really excited about, we won’t tell you what it is, it’ll spoil the whole thing.”

Álvarez also said: “It’s exciting to see a character you want to see more out of it. At least I do. I’d love to see the blind man on the screen do some other things. What’s going to happen with him in his life?” This certainly indicates that Lang’s blind man character plays a major part, which brings us back to the start of this story: filming is either completed or close to it.

Have You Ever Experienced The Mandela Effect?

There’s an unexplained phenomenon that you’ve probably experienced without knowing what it’s called. But those curious instances in which many of us are certain we remember something in a particular way, but it turns is not like that, then you are experiencing what’s known as the Mandela Effect.

The name derives from the popular belief that Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prision after 27 years. The truth is that he died in 2013 and was also the president of South africa between 1994 and 1999. This was because a self-proclaimed “paranormal consultant” described how she remembered Nelson´s dead in prision, and all the media effect that came by it. However, none of it happened. Short after, she discovered other people remembered the same thing as she did.

This effect occurs when a large group of people believe that something happened in a certain way when it did not.

You can also create false memories for yourself or create a fake sequence of events with your group of friends or any social group, most likely because they fill gaps of memory with things they “remind” occurring it at that time. Like a famous dictator once said: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently, it will be believed”.

An example of the Mandela effect is with the most famous quote in “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” film. A lot of people are certain that the phrase goes “Luke, I am your father”, however, Darth Vader actually says, “I am your father.”

Some people believe that these false memories come from having a bad memory, others considered is related to time traveling or a parallel universe. There are many examples in the entertainment media that can cause this effect, either logos, posters, quotes…

Like, just imaging yourself trying to remember an old memory because you are going to use that idea that was on your brain. While bringing back that memory and using that idea in a conversation, you make changes to that memory with new information and then you put it back into your memories. Next time, you’ll probably going to remember that old memory in a different way as time passes by. So you’ll be experiencing the Mandela Effect.

Have this happened to you?
