Angel apparition on Egyptian TV

In 1968, while American TV has filled with images from the Vietnam War and the Chicago riots during the Democratic convention, Egyptian TV was broadcasting live television of what many believed was the Virgin Mary appearing atop a Coptic church. The church had been constructed in Zeitun to commemorate the area where Mary and Joseph had fled from Herod. Since April of 1968, visitors to the site had seen the glowing apparition of a woman above the church at night.

 The image was captured by Egyptian TV cameras. It was reported that Egyptian President Abdul Nasser, an avowed Marxist, had personally witnessed the miracle. The apparition was said to last from just a few minutes to as long as nine hours. Mary again appeared in Egypt last year. For several nights in a row, witnesses claimed, the Blessed Mother appeared at St. Mark's church in the little town of Assiut.

Family Under Siege- Kentucky

August 21, 1955 this journey into the unknown took place in Kelly, Kentucky.

Billy Ray Taylor was visiting Lucky and his family. Billy went to get some water from the well. While getting water he saw a bright light land in a gully about a 1/4 mile from the home.

Shortly after he got back to the home, the dog began to raise a ruckus. Lucky and Billy grabbed their guns and went outside to see what was going on.

Outside the home a 3-4 foot tall creature was walking towards them with its hands in the air. The green creature was described as having large eyes, a long thin mouth, large ears, thin short legs, and claws.

Both Lucky and Billy fired at the creature, the creature did a back flip and fled into the woods.

As soon as they returned back to the house they saw another creature appear at a window, they shot at the creature leaving a hole in the screen. They went outside to see if they had killed it and found nothing there. Both were terrified when a clawed hand reached down from the roof in an attempt to grab them.

both men ran inside the home and found themselves under siege for several hours from these little green men. The creatures seemed to tease the men by popping up in one window and then another.

Eventually they got away from the home. They went to the local police department and told their story. Once the police arrived to check it out, there were no little green men and a house full of holes from the men shooting at the creatures.

LEGEND- THE MISSING PEOPLE - HOTEL 33

32 people attended an opening gala of The Grand Hotel on the outskirts of town. What happened that night was nothing anyone could have ever predicted in his or her wildest imagination.

On May 10, 1953 the Williamsport Police Department received a chilling phone call in the early morning reporting that all persons, including guests and staff, inside The Grand Hotel were missing.

A thorough investigation was immediately underway. After weeks of tirelessly searching and questioning almost every single person in town, they came up empty-handed. A commission was formed to discuss what to do about the tragic situation. After a lengthy deliberation, the case was closed- the hotel was shut down and boarded up. An urban legend was created that was passed down for generations to come and everyone in town referred to the mysterious hotel as “Hotel 32.”

OnJanuary 15, 1993, wealthy real estate developer, Timothy Miller reopened the hotel, with the goal of attracting tourists as a haunted house. The opening was a big success. People familiar with the legend came to stay at the hotel in hopes of having some type of supernatural experience.

Among the curious people, were local college students, Rob Laden, Troy Belger and Jarod Carr. They set out to “Hotel 32” in hopes to see or experience something out of the ordinary. Apparently, their wish came true. Jarod Carrdisappeared inside the hotel without a trace- never to be seen or heard from again. The infamous legend moves forward in history and the local townspeople renamed the mystical site, “Hotel 33.”

When the Williamsport Police Department got word of the missing boy, they put their top investigator on the case, Detective Richard Kaminsky. He conducted a thorough investigation of the site and interrogated Belger and Laden regarding their missing friend.During the interrogation of one of the boys,Kaminsky died. The police report sited that Kaminsky had an aneurism, but interviews with police staff and witnesses argue otherwise, stating that the cause of death was unexplained and unnatural.

The hotel burned down, shortly after- no cause was found.

The mystery remains and legend lives on.

Slender Man

Slender Man is very tall and thin with unnaturally long, tentacle-like arms, which it uses to capture prey. It has a white, featureless head and appears to be wearing a dark suit and tie. He often appears to be floating or drifting. He is commonly said to stalk, abduct, or traumatize people, particularly children.

Often it is reported that he has been seen in sections of woods in and around suburban areas. He has also been reported to be seen with large groups of children.

He enjoys stalking people, making those people become overly paranoid of his existence. Many feel he enjoys psychologically torturing his victims.

According to Wikipedia- Slender man is a fictional character
(The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a fictional character that originated as an Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Victor Surge in 2009.)

Aleks Krotoski, a commentator for BBC Radio 4, called the Slender Man "the first great myth of the web".

Many that have had experiences with the Slenderman would disagree that he is a myth.
