The Real Story Behind Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary”

In 1989, one of the most iconic films in the history of horror cinema was released: “Pet Cemetery”, based on the chilling novel by the talented master of horror Stephen King. It surpassed the numbers at the box office and even though, the movie is terriyfing, there’s a true story behind.

Real Pet Sematary

Not many know this, but a pet sematary actually exists. It is located in a deep wooded area in Haldon Hills, England. It’s a cemetery entirely dedicated to the residents’ deceased pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, hamsters, birds and even fish.

It is usually a quiet place to say your farewells to your best friend. However, it may not be the last time you see your pet, because legend has it that during the night, all the animals come back to life and wander around.

It is unknown what causes this or what’s on the ground to make this mysterious event come true, but there are countless stories about the resurrection of these animals.

Testimonies about the pet cemetery

A well-known story was about a family who lived near the forest.

One afternoon, they found out their dog was hit by a car and even when they tried to help it, it was too late because, their pet had passed away. The family was devastaded but decided to take the dog to the cemetery to bury and mourn their loss.

Weeks passed by and one morning, one of the sons left the house to play with his skateboard. Suddenly, he saw a dog identical to his, only that it looked dirty and somehow fuzzy. He decided to get closer bit by bit. The more he did, the more he was noticing how the dog would move his tail excitedly. He was doing the exact same movements his deceased dog used to do when receiving the family at home.

When the boy was really close to the dog, he realized that it was his pet. He was wearing the same necklace and nameplate. The boy really amazed by this, tried to take him but the dog ran away into the forest until he no longer could see him. The son returned home excited and yelling at his parents what he had seen. For hours the family looked for the dog but never found him.

While investigating through the cemetery, everything was exactly the same except that there were some footprints with the same size of their dog’s. They were found above the place where he was buried.

 

Story of Ghost Pets

There are many other stories of people who have seen ghostly-looking animals wandering through the forest. And they can tell they were domestic, because some of them wear necklaces.

Another story comes from a couple who was driving near the cemetery. When they were returning, appear out of nowhere, crossing the road. They thought they would run him over, however, the dog disappeared when having contact with the vehicle. Even if they witnessed this odd event, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The couple even got off of the car looking for the dog, but he was nowhere to be around.

The monster of the cemetery

The stories about ghost animals are not the most terrifying thing, if we compare those with the monster that lives in the area.

It’s been reported about the appearance of a creepy looking creature, on different occasions which looks humanoid but runs on all fours and it’s huge, hairy and dirty.

Since there is no other explanation yet, it is said that this creature is the caused of the pet cemetery coming to life. Also, by the fact that most versions are about seeing this figure walking through the dark forest that surrounds the cemetery.

One night, the car of a man broke down on the road near the area. He claimed to have seen a large black beast jumping among the trees and that in a matter of seconds , the creature went down and ran away.

Years later, the same man was walking through the cemetery, when suddenly, he saw again the creature while this one was digging up a little animal.

Another version tells the story of a teenager who was walking with his dog in the forest. When he arrived at the cemetery, he heard noises and the sudden feeling of being watched as if some animal was stalking him. When he turned back and saw into the trees, he found a creepy creature staring at him that ended up disappearing after being noticed. The boy described the creature like a furry bear but long tail.

“Pet Sematary” by Ramones

The story not only inspired the movie but also great bands like Ramones, named one of their singles like that, and the lyrics goes like: “I don’t want to be buried in a pet sematary, I don’t want to live my life again.”

For many, this place can be quite scary, which in fact is. But for some others, it would be a great place to see their pets one more time.

Despite all, this is a clear example that life exists after death. And maybe one day we will meet again those pets we loved so much.

The Curse Of The Exorcist

In 1973, one of the most terrifying films of its time was released in theaters, The Exorcist. There was such commotion over with some of the scenes that many people suffered from fainting and having panic attacks. Some even claimed to have been possessed after watching the movie, which only increased its horrible reputation.

However, the most eerie thing about the movie is not its plot or the scenes, but a supposed curse that, since the beginning of the movie production was said to be true. And this curse has to do with death.

For those who have not seen it, the movie was a real box office success and it’s about the demonic possession of a little girl who gets worse little by little until her exorcism becomes a real challenge for a priest.

It might sound like a superstition thing by the people involved however, it reached such a point in which it’s unlikely that all those affected could have had such bad luck.

During the first day of filming, Linda Blair’s grandfather (Regan) and Max Von Sydow’s brother (Father Lankester Merrin) lost their lives, as if some kind of demonic force was punishing both in order for them not to make the movie.

Of course, this could have been just a coincidence, but odd things continued to happen while making the film such as the tapes appearing completely empty and clean after shooting with them or the loss of focus without anyone touching the camera.

Some of the creepiest things were the sound recordings in which weird noises and even voices that weren’t there while recording, could be heard.

As time passed by, the odd events increased. Incidents with telephones or objects disappearing without anyone to have touched them and even a fire occurred that reduced a large part of the sets for them film. This delayed the making of the movie by 6 weeks, which in terms of filming, it’s a lot of loss money.

Apart from the fact that during all these accidents, it is said that between 4 and 9 people passed away for different reasons, including actor Jack MacGrowran, actress Vasiliki Maliaros and two team workers were confirmed. All of them during the filming period.

This same curse is attributed to the accident Linda suffered in her  levitation scene. The harness that was supposed to lift her, broke while they were filming, so she injured her spine which caused her problems for life. It was after this that the rumor of a possible curse began since such bad luck couldn’t be anything else but paranormal events.

For this reason, a priest was hired to bless the place. However, the opposite of what everyone would have thought, the events didn’t end up there.

Apart from the events that took place during the filming, death reached not only the people who were involved but also those close to them. One of the most notorious and disturbing cases was from Mercedes McCambridge’s son (Mercedes played the voice of the devil in the movie). Year laters, he ended up with the lives of his family and his own.

Much has been speculated about this supposed curse and it has become so well-known that many people invited to participate in the following films decided not to and stated publicly this was the reason. Whether the curse is true or not, the fear surrounding the film is for sure, very real.

And do you think the curse is real?

Real Interview With A Demon While A Girl Was Possessed

In the 1970s, England was shocked to learn of the frightful events that took place in Enfield, a small city outside London.  It became the center of attention in media when a family claimed they were being chased by a ghost.

But it was more than a ghost, even worse… This thing was taking over Janet Hodgson, an 11 year old girl who had recently played a Ouija board.

On August 30th, 1977, the fear started to take over Peggy Hodgson, a single mother who lived alone with her four children when Janet, the middle daughter, complained that her bed was shaking at night.

From that moment, the family realized that what was happening was nothing but paranormal activity.

Forty years later, in an interview for the movie The Conjuring 2, Janet said, “We were good children. We had no idea about the story of the house before the events. I was used and stalked. There was levitation,  voices and incidents that tormented my life”.

She also stated, “The emotions, the thoughts. I think if I had to go through that again, I wouldn’t make it”. Just like in the movie, the real Ed and Lorraine Warren came from the United States to help the Hodgson family.

The Warren came to the conclusion that the Hodgson children were vulnerable to demonic possession, especially Janet, who was possessed by 6 demons.

Here’s the video of the interview with Janet Hodgson when the demon manifested through her while she was talking.

 

The Red Book – One Of The 7 Games Forbidden By The Church

It is said that ther’s 7 games which are prohibited by the church and one of them is called: The Red Book.

It may seem like a joke, some people will laugh at the subject, but the truth is that this game is actually very dark and if you don’t play with due respect, you could get into serious trouble. Many people describe it as the game of life and death.

But how hazardous could a book be? A simple book that anyone could have at home. However, the real danger is the game itself. The rules are very easy, but first, it’s recommended to play accompanied by at least one or two more people. And if you’re too sensitive, better not try to play it.

Rules of The Red Book

Rule 1

An old red hardcover book is needed. The less information there is on the cover the better.

Rule 2

Get a candle of the same color.

Rule 3

Put the red book on the table and only by candlelight. No spotlights should be on.

Rule 4

One of the players must put his or her left hand on the closed book. The player must pronounce: “Red Book”, and proceed to ask a question. It’s important to have eyes closed for it to work correctly.

Rule 5

With the left hand and the eyes still closed, the player must pass his or her fingers between the pages randomly and should stop on one of the sheets. Then the player will lay a finger somewhere on the sheet, open the eyes and read the segment until there’s a period. That will be the answer to the question.

Sometimes the answers may not make any sense, but that could be because the question was poorly formulated or because there’s no spirit present into the book. If the answer is consistent, it means the game has started.

Rule 6 (Last and most important one)

Say goodbye to the spirit before concluding the game. The player must ask the spirit in a respectful way to leave.

Warnings

Although it seems like a childish and innocent game, to play The Red Book is actually very similar to the Ouija because in both cases, questions are made and a spirit can answer them. The advice of many specialists on the subject is to never play the Red Book, and if so, to be cautious when playing it. It should not be forgotten that the book is not the one answering the questions, but rather some entity who awaits to be invoked and when that happens, a portal opens. That’s why the last rule is so important.

Los 7 secretos más locos de Disney World

¿Sabías que hay un rumor de que Walt Disney está criptoconservado en hielo debajo de las calles de Disney World? Eso es solo una teoría, por supuesto, que ha sido “probada” falsa. Sin embargo, las cosas en esta lista son todo lo contrario. ¡Han sido comprobadas como verdad!

Conoce los 7 secretos que suceden en el “lugar más feliz del mundo”

Patos asados

 

Disney presentó su espectáculo Fantasmic en la atracción Ríos de América. Durante el espectáculo, un gran dragón que prende fuego al agua.

El espectáculo original tenía patos que se colaban durante el espectáculo y se quemaban lentamente mientras el agua ardía. Al principio, no podían hacer nada, pero después de un tiempo, encontraron una solución. Hicieron burbujear el agua para ahuyentar a los animalitos.

El lugar más letal

 

Esto puede parecer una exageración, pero ha habido más de 100 perdidas de vidas humanas y lesiones graves en el parque.

Uno de los casos más sonados es el de Dolly, una madre que disfrutaba un recorrido en la montaña rusa, cuando de pronto sintió la necesidad de ver que su hijo estuviera bien en el asiento de adelante, por lo que por un momento se paró en una curva pronunciada y lamentablemente cayó a las vías del tren, donde perdió la vida.

Policía secreta

 

Si alguna vez has estado en Disneylandia, probablemente hayas notado la ausencia de agentes de la ley. Eso no significa que no haya ninguno. La policía secreta de Disney se esconde en dos lugares.

El primer lugar son los túneles subterráneos, esperando una llamada del personal. El otro es donde menos te lo esperas, paseando por los parques en ropa casual para no alejarse de la magia de los parques de diversiones.

Huesos reales

 

Se trata de esa atracción de Piratas del Caribe con calaveras sentadas y colgadas por todas partes. Todos estos cráneos son falsos, a excepción de uno.

Un miembro del equipo del parque dijo: “Hay una calavera real, en realidad está en las habitaciones del capitán. Es el cráneo en la cabecera justo encima de la cama. Es el único que conozco que es real, escuché que hay dos más, pero aún no los he encontrado”.

Códigos secretos

 

Hay muchos códigos secretos en Disney World, si escuchas a alguien decir “25” corre porque se trata de un incendio.

La señal 70 significa: “niño perdido”.

Pero ninguno es tan común como el Código V, los custodios odian escucharlo, pues significa: vómito.

Cenizas por el Parque

 

No creerías cuántas personas han esparcido las cenizas de un ser querido por el parque. Puede ser desde la cima de su viaje favorito o a través de los Ríos de Luz.

Esto ha ocurrido seguramente cientos de veces, y no se detiene ahora. Parece que todos quieren que sus seres queridos descansen en el lugar más feliz del mundo.

El mundo secreto por debajo del Parque

 

Debajo de Magic Kingdom se encuentra lo que ellos llaman un sistema de utilidor. Se dice que es el área detrás del escenario de Disney donde solo se permiten miembros del elenco.

Les permite a los trabajadores trasladarse más rápido y “aparecer de la nada” dando un sentido mágico a los personajes. Sin embargo, hay muchas leyendas que rodean estos túneles.

Aquí se lleva a cabo la eliminación de desechos, los servicios de emergencia y los traslados de vehículos blindados llenos de miles de dólares en efectivo, pero ¿qué más podría esconderse debajo del lugar más mágico de la tierra?

Who’s Smile Dog? – The Scary Story Behind The Creepypasta

Get to know about Smile Dog, the story about a curse picture…

Smile Dog is the name of a mysterious file that it’s been on the internet for many years. Nobody knows where it came from nor how it reaches to people. However, there are creepy rumors about those who saw the picture behind the file, have suffered terrible consequences.

The file is known as “Smile.dog,” and it shows the picture of a Husky smiling grimmly inside a dark room. A palm of a hand appearing to be drenched in red, can be spoted. It is said that the picture is so malignant that when you see it, it makes you enter into a state of shock, causing you to lose mental health over time or worse, your own life.

Living through the curse…

One of the best known cases is from Mary E. A woman who had a normal life and was married to a good man. One afternoon, while she was alone, a stranger knocked on the door of her house. When she opened, she only saw a package on the floor. There was no card, name or some way to identify the sender, yet she was still curious and decided to open it.

There was a floppy disk she had to download on her computer to answer her questions. Inside it, there was this file with the name of Smile.dog which opened it just for her to get a disturbing surprise, because it was that weird picture of the smiling dog.

As a consequence, this led her to a dark misfortune. From that moment, things started to change. She could not sleep or think straight, nor even eat because on her mind, there was always that picture of the dog, telling her to “share the picture with others or else you will suffer”. Mary refused to do it, and as time went by, things seemed to get worse and worse because not only she couldn’t stop thinking about it but she could see the picture in every corner of the house.

Her husband was concerned about her wife so he took her to visit some psychologists. However, the whole situation was too much for them that they were unable to help her and advised her a psychiatrist instead. Things went from one extreme to another and Mary was completely losing her mind to the point of completely isolating and shutting herself up for days in her room not able to see his husband’s face directly. No one knew what was going on.

Fifteen years later, Mary E. wrote an email to her psychiatrist. She with complete frustration open up about her feelings after staring at that disturbing picture and how bit by bit was ruining her life. It was the first and last time that she was able to mention about the topic, because she mysteriously lost her life that same day.

There were several testimonies of people who remained anonymous and told about the horrible curse that was persecuting them. It is unknown if they are still alive, though…

The origin of Smile Dog

It is said that the origin began a while ago. There was a 12-year-old girl obsessed with the idea of having a pet, but her parents always denied her such desire. She wished so much to get a pet that she decided to make a drawing that could portray her desired pet which was very similar to a Husky dog, but she imagined it with a huge smile. Excited about her drawing, she decided to take a photo with an instant camera.

But something evil took hold of it and the image in the photo became very gloomy and scary. It was no longer the cute drawing she did. There was something dark on it, a dog with demonic features and hypnotizing eyes. Since then, the girl completely changed. Her obsession grew and she couldn’t stop staring at the picture and hear a voice that called her every day saying “share the image”.

Since then, the picture has been circulating and reaching new victims to drive them crazy until they reach their last day of life. What was known later about the girl was that she completely lost her mind and was admitted to a mental hospital but up until this day, there’s not much known about her anymore.

There are many imitations and anyone can tell since they don’t have the same effect as the real one. The feeling of losing your mind and a severe anxiety that can lead you to lose your life. Though, the original picture may still be somewhere on internet…

Had you heard about Smile Dog before? Would you dare to stare into the real picture?

Dead Man’s Switch – Get Messages From The Afterlife

Have you ever thought about the day of your death? About all the things you would like to say to your loved ones and friends? Maybe you might never have the chance to do so, because at any moment, an accident can happen and all those things would not matter anymore. But what would you think if there could be a chance to say those things after dead?

For some people, receiving an e-mail coming from someone who passed away months ago can be an obvious reason to freak out. There are also some cases which have gone viral on the internet for being such sensitive and displeasant experience.


Nonetheless, the truth could be less supernatural than what people think. That’s the case on this website, Dead Man’s Switch, which could be considered as one of the creepiest sites that exist.

It sends the letters you want your loved ones to receive and in such case of passing away, you get the opportunity to tell them everything you wanted but couldn’t when alive. Sure likely, they will get scared if months after your decease, receive a letter from you, but it’s a great opportunity to express them your thoughts.

The intriguing thing about this is how the website works. Once you make an account, you will be asked to write the letters you want to send along with the email addresses for each one. Once in a while, the website will send you some emails that you should always reply, because that way, you’re notifying that you are still alive. A quite gloomy process, but apparently it works for them.

The moment you stop replying, they will send you three notes to confirm nothing happened to you. The first one will be 30 days later, the second one after 45 days and the last one after 52 days. If you don’t respond to any of those, means the time has come to send the letters you wrote.

The website allows you notify if you won’t be available for a certain time to reply, so that way they don’t send your letters at the wrong time. Since there’s no other way around, you can leave two emails when making an account, but if you want to leave more than two, you may have to pay.

It is quite interesting though, that leaving messages to all your loved ones is now easier than ever. If you leave this world, no one needs to be looking through your stuff expecting to find anything, the letters will be sent automatically. And as you can send good messages to the ones you loved, perhaps you might want to send the opposite too since the letters can be to whomever you want.


If this website caught your attention to write your future posthumous letters, you can go to deadmansswitch.net. It’s either up to you to leave nice messages or end up frightening off someone.

The Dark Story Of Barney You Didn’t Know

Many of us fondly remember the cute purplish dinosaur named Barney, the one who was always willing to help his little friends when they needed him. The show was phenomenal. But maybe some episodes might not have been so innocent as everyone believed. That’s what the other side of the story suggests. There’s this hidden episode where, beyond showing the cute dinosaur we know, looked chilling and devilish.

This rumor was well-known, since several children now adults, share different stories through social media. They declared that they’d been victims of what seemed to be a “harmless Barney DVD”. They said that when reproducing the dvd, it became a really traumatic experience for them.

It was mentioned that the DVD box showed a common picture of Barney along Baby Bop, BJ and Riff with a description that read there were new episodes never seen before. Of course many children fell into the trap, trusting to watch something new and ended up convincing their parents to buy the DVD for them. Though, they never could have imagined that they were about to watch such disturbing scenes that marked them forever.

One of the most horrifying stories, was written by an anonymous young man who told about his experience while watching the DVD.

He said that it was an ordinary day when everything started. He was walking with his mother through a kind of fair. The boy was a big fan of Barney, and saw that in a small stall, all kind of toys and DVDs of the dinosaur were sold. The boy was interested by one in particular, a DVD with “new episodes” and soon convinced his mother to buy him the film.

Once they arrived home, the boy, excited and without wasting any more time, asked his mother for help to play the videotape. She agreed to do it and then left him alone. Everything looked normal, the boy was enjoying each episode included until he considered watching an extra one that seemed very strange.

When he chose the episode, it started just like the other ones with the famous song everyone knows, but suddenly the scenes became a bit bizarre… There was a little girl sitting on her back at the corner and was not close to the dinosaur. The camera then, focused on Barney who looked different. He had a chilling smile and very piercing eyes.

The boy didn’t understand what was happening at that moment but after the camera was focused on the dinosaur for several minutes, desperate cries from frightened children asking for help, could be heard. At that moment, Barney’s song started again but this time backwards.

Later, the scene went completely dark with just a middle red dot turning on and off. A little girl started crying very loudly, wailing and saying how sorry she was. Suddenly, Barney’s laughter began to sound sinister while the girl screamed in horror.

The creepiest thing was that, when the picture on the screen became clear again, the dinosaur could be seen right at the corner where the girl was before, but now without her.

After that, the stage on the next scene was completely destroyed chapter and there were several children lying on the floor with very frightened eyes. Unexpectedly there was a power outage at the boy’s house who was just terrified after watching such traumatic scenes, so he ran to his mother.

The young man ended his story by saying that he woke up that night and realized the power was restored because the television was on and paused in the last scene of before. The only difference was Barney standing in the middle looking towards the camera with a malevolent smile.

The DVD disappeared and never found it back.

The Ventriloquist Who Used A Child’s Lifeless Body As A Puppet

There are ventriloquists with the talent of making the public smile by making shows with their puppets. Although many of these tend to have disturbing expressions, in the end, they show us symphaty with their funny jokes.

Charlie McCarthy used to be one of them. He was recognized for being a successful ventriloquist in the 20th century, as during his performances, he used to have a rather peculiar puppet. However, things would change when it was discovered that he had a dark secret that he had been carrying for some time.

In 1920, McCarthy became famous in one of his first shows by introducing Edgar, a ventriloquist puppet with quite different characteristics from a normal one. It represented an 8-year-old boy. His complexion was plump and his facial features were very expressive and somewhat chilling, and even though his eyes were made of wood, it could reflect a look of sadness or even evil.

Still, what made McCarthy grow and turn him into a master, was his ability to change his voice in an extremely different way and without showing any facial movement when interpreting Edgar’s voice. This was what got the attention of many people who followed him through his tours.

However, not all people thought the same back then. There were many who were superstitious and started rumors of McCarthy being an apprentice of witchery, since they believed that he used some evil trick to make the puppet speak. This rumor spread so fast that people began banning children from attending to his performances.

People started talking even more about the topic when it was found out that McCarthy, had a strange fascination with the puppet. He used to take care of him as if it was his own son and didn’t allow the public or the work staff to get close to Edgar. He was the only one who could touch and keep him inside his box.

At the end, his career ended one night while McCarthy was touring the United States. When the show was over, he went to the dressing room and locked himself in there for hours. The theater workers realized that he was still inside the place, so they knocked through the door to warn him they were about to close, but McCarthy didn’t answer.

After countless rumors that ran over the star, it was expected that employees feared coming into the room. They decided to call the police thinking the worst. When they arrived and forced the dressing room door, they found something that left them totally in shock…

McCarthy was lying on the ground lifeless, his neck completely destroyed and soaked in red.

After reacting to the terrible scene, the authorities focused on finding Edgar. They thought that some individual had entered into the dressing room in order to take McCarthy’s life and steal the puppet.

But when they found the box and opened it, the puppet was there with a penetrating and chilling gaze that even the officers themselves feared to grab him, but it was necessary to, since they had to carry out the investigation to discover who had caused that horrible tragedy.

While analyzing the puppet, they discovered something even more terrifying. The investigation into McCarthy’s death was interrupted when they found out that Edgar was not actually a puppet but the actual body of a child.

There were fingerprints on the puppet’s fingers and his face was covered with a latex mask to cover his paleness. They couldn’t figure out the identity of that poor boy and the most dreadful thing is that nobody knew how McCarthy got to keep up the body of that innocent.

Charlie McCarthy wasn’t actually a bad person. There’s this theory which mentions he lost his son and after much sadness and being in denial to accept his loss, he decided to keep his body and turn him into a puppet so that way he could live even if this was only during his shows.
