Karen Wetterhahn was an internationally respected Professor Of Chemistry and an expert on heavy metals' effects on living systems, especially their role in causing cancer. She was a rising star and destined to become one of the most celebrated professors Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, had ever seen. During the 20 years Karen dedicated to the college, she published more than 85 research papers and helped establish the Women in Science Project, which enabled women to increase their share of science majors from 13 to 25 per cent. However, the heavy metals she so passionately researched to save others, by a cruel irony, took her life in the most heartbreaking way imaginable.

The best spooky stories are those that are true. They are the ones that make you lie there at night, with the covers pulled up to your nose, straining to hear every creak of the house. The ones that make you toss and turn but eventually sleep with your back facing the wall so that nothing can sneak up behind you.

These incredible stories were sent in by Mary, one of our valued patreon. Mary has been fascinated with the paranormal since she was a toddler and has been a Tarotist since she was 12, reading professionally since college. From an early age, it seems that, for whatever reason, Mary’s life has been plagued by strange occurrences and unsettling unexplained incidents. There have been so many we have had to condense them for this video. We know Mary is not alone in experiencing these things, and I’m sure she would love to hear in the comments if any of you have encountered similar things.

Up until the late 1980s, the Wyricks were a normal family. They were tight-knit, loving and dealt with the standard worries of any young family. But all that changed when they moved into their first purchased home on Swint Loop in Harris County, Georgia. It was here that things began to spiral out of control when the couple's eldest daughter, Heidi, began speaking with imaginary friends and being haunted by a shadowy, mysterious figure who harmed the family and spread chaos. So just what exactly happened to the Wyrick family? And who was this cloaked figure? We aim to explore these questions and more as we examine the life, and hauntings, of Heidi Wyrick and her family.

Would you be brave enough to sleep in a home knowing its floors were once covered in blood? Looking at many of these dwellings, you'd think they were perfectly ordinary houses. But digging a little deeper you will discover that inside these four walls, some of the most horrific crimes occurred, and that serial slayers once called these buildings 'home'. In today's video, we'll be exploring some normal-looking homes with disturbing backstories.

Tonight’s terrifying tale comes from the small market town of Pontefract, situated in West Yorkshire, England. Some of you may have heard this story, others may be new to the legend that is 30 East Drive, and to The Black Monk myth; an insidious entity that terrorised the young, innocent family who lived at the residence in the 1960’s. So, what happened inside the walls of this seemingly normal house during those care free years of Peace and Love? What nightmarish events occurred and tormented the Pritchard family so badly that they had to pack up and leave? Why has no one lived in this (now) famous house ever since? And what exactly is the malevolent phantom known as The Black Monk, who roams the hallways and bedrooms waiting to torment and terrorise its next victim?

On Friday 10th August 2018 there were plenty of news stories around the world making headlines, but in the maelstrom of the Trump presidency perhaps one of the biggest was something that happened in Seattle that despite being one of the strangest, scariest, most bizarre events of 2018 pretty much slipped under the radar especially outside of America. 

In this video we look at the extraordinary events that led to one of the most serious domestic airline security breaches since 9/11. However it was not connected to a criminal plot or terrorist ideology. In fact when you hear the facts of the story it is hard not to feel sorry for the perpetrator who comes across as a nice guy.

Here is the incredible but disturbing story of Richard (Beebo) Russell.
