MYSTERIOUS AND CREEPY PHOTOS

HOOK ISLAND SEA MONSTER

In 1964, French photographer Robert Serrec spotted and took a

quick picture of what resembled a giant snake-like creature

resting on the sea floor off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

Some sources claimed it could have been a long tarp or

something similar. However, no credible explanation has ever

been found for this bizarre photo.

HESSDALEN LIGHTS

Since the 1940’s (possibly earlier) there has been a strange light

phenomenon observed in the Hessdalen Valley, Norway. The

spectacle has a form of white or yellow light of unknown origin

standing or floating above ground level. Between 1981 and 1984,

the lights were observed up to 20 times per week but have

drastically reduced in frequency since then to about 10–20

times per year. Despite ongoing research and numerous working

hypotheses, there is no convincing explanation of the origin

of these lights.

COOPERS´ FAMILY PHOTO

Back in the 1950´s, the Cooper family from Texas moved into

their new house. Once there, they took a family photo but

when the picture was developed, the image of a body falling from

the ceiling was clearly visible. As further investigation on this

story has brought no plausible explanation, there exist many

speculations; including one that argues that the shadow is

the ghost of the previous owner of the house.

TIME TRAVELER

On footage from a Charlie Chaplin´s promotional film shot in 1928,

there is a woman who appears to be talking into a cell phone.

Needless to say, back in the 1920´s mobile phones were yet to be

invented. Nevertheless, even the lady´s gestures and behaviour is

eerily familiar to what we see on the streets nowadays.

FALCON LAKE INCIDENT

In 1967, Stefan Michalak reportedly encountered an unidentified

flying object near Falcon Lake, Canada. Michalak was close enough

to touch the object but then, it suddenly lifted off, knocking him

on his back. Michalak claimed to have been burnt by the object´s

exhaust vent that was covered with a grid. The hot gases even

left burn marks on his chest as it can be seen in the photo.

After this bizarre accident, Michalak got very sick, suffering from

symptoms typical of radiation but the nature of the burns

have remained a mystery.

HAMPTON COURT GHOST

This ghostly figure was captured on a security camera at the

Hampton Court, a royal palace located in the Greater London area.

The figure appeared to be closing one of the palace´s doors but

when the guards arrived at the place, nobody was there.

As the palace has a long and violent history, the figure is believed

to be one of several ghosts that are rumoured to haunt the building.

FAIRY CIRCLES

Found in the arid grasslands of the western part of Southern Africa,

the fairy circles are circular patches of barren land. Typically

occurring in monospecific grassy vegetation, the circles vary

between 2 and 15 metres (7 and 49ft) in diameter. The origin and

history of fairy circles have long been a puzzle and even now,

scientists are still not sure who or what create them. One favoured

assumption is that a sand termite is responsible for the circles,

but the range of the phenomena is much wider than that

of the termite species.

SOLWAY FIRTH SPACEMAN

One of the world´s most famous mysterious photos, this image

was taken by Jim Templeton near Solway Firth in Cumbria,

in 1964. Behind Templeton´s daughter who was supposed

to be the only figure in the picture, there is another entity

resembling a spaceman. But Templeton insisted he did not

see anyone else present when the photograph was taken.

Modern analysis suggested that the figure might have been the

photographer’s wife, standing with her back towards the camera,

but not even this explanation is convincing enough.

PYRAMID ON THE MOON

This image was taken by Apollo 17 in December 1972 during its

flight to the Moon near the area known as Geophone Rock.

NASA listed this image as “blank”. But after retouching the photo,

you can see that is not completely blank. Turning up the contrast,

a pyramidal structure can be observed. NASA has never given a

credible version of the issue which has led to some speculations

about what else can actually be on the Moon, hidden to

public awareness.
