This story starts with James White, who bought a property called the Overtoun Farm in 1859. He built the Overtoun House three years later in 1862. When White died in 1884, his son, John Campbell White, inherited the house and its estate and started planning to extend the driveway of the house across a deep ravine in order to provide easier access. The bridge was completed in June of 1895. During the 1950s, locals started referring to the bridge as the "Bridge of Death" or the "Dog Suicide Bridge", as it was reported that dogs were leaping from the bridge into the ravine below. The mystery of why dogs become possessed to jump has never been solved, but many theories persist, ranging from the scientific to the supernatural…

The Oklahoma Girl Scout murders took place on the morning of June 13, 1977, at Camp Scott in Mayes County, Oklahoma, United States. By 10 am, they evacuated the entirety of Camp Scott without telling the other campers why they were heading back home after only one night of being there. This was the last day that Camp Scott was open after almost 50 years of hosting the Girl Scouts of Oklahoma. This story is horrifying, and we can only hope that one day the families of the victims will have some closure as to what happened and why.

Stay safe out there.

Many people say that Pocomoonshine lake is a beautiful lake in Princeton, a northeastern town in Maine. But it became really notorious in the 1800s when witnesses claimed that a large creature lived in the lake. A giant snake, 30-60 feet long and 4 feet wide. And though a snake that large seems quite unbelievable, the story actually stems from Native American Folklore, specifically in a battle between giant snakes. So, could there really be a giant snake in Maine? Or maybe there's another explanation? But either way, join us for this short and sweet paranormal story!

Stay safe out there.

On September 21st, 2001, (just 10 days after the 9/11 attacks in America) a man called Aidan Minter found the torso of a young boy in the River Thames as he was walking across Tower Bridge in central London for a business meeting.

“The tide was quite high at the time, I thought it was a tailor's mannequin. Then it came under the bridge, and that's when I saw the detail - the wounds and the body itself.I  do think about him. I'll never forget it for as long as I live.”

The police, unable to find who the identity of the boy, called him Adam. Today we talk about this unsolved murder, and we can only hope that Adam’s family may someday get the closure they deserve.

Stay safe out there.

The Logan Inn, located in New Hope Pennsylvania, and it is very famously known to be haunted by no fewer than 8 ghosts at a time. The most famous of them all is actually the haunting of room 6, which is actually likely to be a few different ghosts. But despite how haunted the Inn is, all of these ghosts seem to be quite friendly, and is probably a good place for what we’d call a “beginner” haunting experience. This haunted Inn is definitely on our list of places we’d like to visit some day. And not just the Inn though, the town also has a few other resident ghosts who like to make themselves known sometimes…

Stay safe out there.

From the German words “polter” ("to make sound" and "to rumble") and Geist ("ghost" and "spirit"), a poltergeist is fundamentally a “noisy” or “rumble” ghost. And that is exactly what appeared to happen on the night of February 10, 1935 in the basement of building number 43 on Francisco Giner de Gràcia street. This is when the Montroig and Mendoza family heard a faint banging sound throughout the walls, which was slowly getting louder and louder. What followed was a series of events which were witnessed by the family, neighbors, and even the media. But what really happened that night? We may never really know…

On February 24th, 1978, a group of 5 young men went to watch a basketball game at California State University, Chico.

These men were:

- 29 year old Bill Sterling

- 24 year old Jack Huett

- 32 year old Ted Weihler

- 30 year old Jack Madruga

- And 25 year old Gary Mathias

That night, instead of coming back home in preparation for their own basketball game the next day, their car ended up on a dirt road, stuck in a show drift about 4,400 miles in elevation and in the wrong direction from home. Months later, the remains of four out of the five men were found. Why did this happen? What happened to the men? What happened to the fifth man? We might never know…

Stay safe out there.
