The world we live in can be a terrifying and eerie place, and while we like to think we live in a world that is reliably protected by technology and community, unexplained occurrences and creepy encounters happen every day. Peculiar mysteries, unexplained phenomena caught on camera, and cold blooded criminal cases permeate this supposedly safe society we live in more than we'd like to think, and today, we will be exploring five such cases.
From an eerie photo which may depict life beyond death, to the tales of grisly murders that took place over one hundred years ago, sit back, hit the lights, and enjoy, as we bring you 5 true scary examples of horror stories, creepy footage, and unsettling encounters.
