Reader Report: Strange Night Noises and the Hat Man
"I had been living with my elderly parents in a very nice home in Bellingham, Washington in 2011," reports Tracy. "I started having 'episodes' at night. I would hear women's voices low-talking as I tried to fall asleep. Then I started to hear a very loud buzzing type noise always coming at me from the left side of the room. These noises would actually enter my body and travel from the tips of my toes all the way up my body, like electricity. Just awful! I could not move during this. The scariest thing was waking up and seeing to my right a shadow man with a fedora hat standing next to my bed very close...." Read more.

Arthur Conan Doyle: Ghost Hunter
No, this is not some supernatural fantasy like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries really was a paranormal investigator and ghost hunter, who attended séances, befriended the world's top psychic mediums, and sought explanations for haunted houses and poltergeist activity. Doyle even had a few ghostly encounters himself.... Read more.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
For a long time I've known that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had an interest in Spiritualism and paranormal matters, but I did not know that he had several possible ghost encounters himself -- until I found one of his books in an antique shop. See this week's feature. We also have a new addition to our Ghosts at Sea gallery, an update to the Baltic Sea underwater object mystery, and the week's news.

Arthur Conan Doyle: Ghost Hunter
No, this is not some supernatural fantasy like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries really was a paranormal investigator and ghost hunter, who attended séances, befriended the world's top psychic mediums, and sought explanations for haunted houses and poltergeist activity. Doyle even had a few ghostly encounters himself. Read all about them.

The Mystery of the Ourang Medan
In 1947, after sending out an S.O.S., the entire crew of the Ourang Medan freighter was found dead aboard the ship. There was no sign of trouble, and each crew member died with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, as if he had witnessed some unspeakable horror before dying, yet there were no signs of injury. What killed the crew of the Ourang Medan? Read all about it in this latest addition to the Ghosts at Sea Gallery.

Underwater Mystery - update
As with most interesting mysteries, an investigation only brings up more questions than answers. Such is the case with the intriguing disc-shaped object found on the floor of the Baltic Sea in June, 2011 by the Ocean X Team, a group of Swedish treasure hunters. The team returned to the site of the find in May, 2012, and what they were able to photograph only puzzled them further.

Tales of the Ouija - Volume 13
Here is Volume 13 in our series of true experiences with the Ouija board that the authors say are true. And if there's a common theme among most of them it's: Don't mess around the with Ouija -- it's too scary and/or dangerous. Included in this batch are: contact with what the authors fear are demons; the prediction of a friend's death; an encounter with the dreaded Zozo; a Ouija session that brought on poltergeist activity; contact with a murderer.

Underwater Mystery
In June, 2011, two Swedish treasure hunters were searching in the Baltic Sea for old bottles of champagne from shipwrecks when their sonar recorded this mysterious object on the ocean floor. No one knows what it is. The disc-shaped object is huge: 197 feet in diameter -- as big as a 747 jumbo jet. Its shape indicates that it is not a natural formation and appears to be made of a hard substance, such as concrete or metal. What is it?
