Reader Submission: Man on the Water

lake_at_night

In Texas, there’s a park in Granbury on the lake called Hunter Park. One night when I was about 12, we went camping out there. It was me, my brother Cody, my mom, and her boyfriend. Cody claims to have seen something that night after we all went to bed that I still can’t explain.

The two of us were fishing really late at night. I went to bed at about midnight. Cody says that about an hour later he was pulling in his lines so he could also go to sleep when he looked up and saw a man in the water about 10 feet away. That’s a little strange, but it gets worse. He said the man was standing ON the water. This person was dressed like a cowboy from what he remembers of it.

Ghost Photo of the Day: The Figure in Black

reddit_ghost_photo

Here’s a new pic from Reddit.com’s paranormal community. First, the background story:

“This photo was taken at a wedding by a friend of a colleague. The wedding party was held at an old farm in Norway, famous for being the former home of M. Munthe (a children’s book author). There was no one present at the wedding wearing black, and the picture was taken by one of the guests. The professional photographer had no ‘natural’ explanation for the ‘figure.’ He hadn’t seen any camera ‘glitch’ like it before, and they said no one else was standing where the figure is standing. So what do you think? Could this be something…real?”

The folks on Reddit have several theories to explain the figure in black ranging from slow shutter speed to the ghost of Margaret Munthe appearing to protest (or celebrate) the same-sex wedding. Check out the discussion here. What do you make of the pic?

This new ghost photo comes from the Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Canada, the final resting place of over 100 Titanic victims. Is that a victim near the tree? Or is it merely the way the light falls on the trunk?

Ghosts Around the Globe: Thailand’s Krasue

thai ghosts

In Thailand, a krasue is the spirit of a beautiful young woman that manifests as a floating head with internal organs trailing below the neck. An eerie glow accompanies the krasue as it floats up and down the countryside, searching for blood to drink or raw flesh to consume. Cambodians know this horrifying specter as an ap, while Laotians call it a kasu. Similar spirits appear in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

According to Thai folklore, krasues pose a real danger to pregnant women. Tales speak of floating heads that attempt to slay babies within the womb or devour expelled placentas. If there aren’t any pregnant women around, a krasue might feast on cattle, chicken, or even feces.
