Between 1956 and 1968, a quiet house in Battersea, South London became the center of one of the strangest and most disturbing poltergeist cases in British history. For over a decade, a young girl named Shirley Hitchings was plagued by unexplained knocks, flying objects, and chilling messages from an unseen force.

In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the terrifying true story of the Battersea Poltergeist — through real accounts, media coverage, and theories that still divide believers and skeptics to this day.

Lake Superior is full of secrets. They call it Gitche Gumee — the Great Sea. But the waters of Lake Superior hide more than waves and wrecks. They hide the unexplainable. Stories of ghost ships seen in the fog… of voices heard in lighthouses long abandoned… of fighter jets that vanish from the sky. This isn’t just a lake, it’s a graveyard, a mystery, and maybe something more.

From shipwrecks that vanish without a trace to haunted lighthouses, ancient copper miners, and ghostly figures seen along the frozen shores — Lake Superior is not just vast, it’s deeply haunted. In this video, we explore the terrifying folklore and true mysteries that have plagued this inland sea for centuries. You’ll hear stories rooted in Native American legend, high strangeness that links UFOs and spirits to the same remote places, and unsettling accounts like the Kinross Incident — where a military jet disappeared while chasing something unknown.

Beneath the lake’s cold, black surface lies more than just shipwrecks… it holds stories that refuse to stay buried.

Some mysteries fade with time. Others grow darker.

In 1980, the body of a coal miner named Zigmund Adamski was found atop a coal heap in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, five days after he mysteriously vanished just miles from home. His clothes were clean, his watch and wallet were missing, and strange burn marks had been treated with an unknown gel.

But that was only the beginning.

Just months later, the very officer who discovered Adamski’s body (PC Alan Godfrey) reported an encounter with a UFO while on patrol. What followed was a hypnotic regression, missing time, and a story that has never been fully explained.

00:00 A Poets Vision

In 1971, America watched as a real-life exorcism played out on television.

When Edwin and Marsha Becker moved into their Chicago home, they didn’t expect the strange occurrences to escalate into a full-blown haunting. Objects moved on their own, violent outbursts struck without warning, and apparent apparitions of the dead walked its halls. They slowly began to uncover the traumatic history of their home. Desperate and terrified, they turned to a group of mediums… and ultimately, to television.

Broadcast to millions on NBC’s The Tomorrow Show, the televised exorcism shocked audiences and made history. But the haunting didn’t end there.  Edwin Becker documented the ordeal in his books True Haunting and True Haunting 2, offering deeper insight into the terrifying events that unfolded behind closed doors.

His chilling account lives on—one of the most disturbing and under-discussed paranormal cases in American history. This is more than just a ghost story. It’s a haunting legacy.

Or that a cryptid with bat-like wings might be connected to UFO activity? From the Dade City Flowers case to the strange Space Penguins of Tuscumbia, these stories push the limits of what we think we know about UFOs and extraterrestrials. Buckle up—this is UFO history at its strangest.
