Oculus, A Great Drive-in Movie

Guest post by Billy Russell Going to the ol’ drive-in is still one of the most fun ways to experience a movie. You don’t go to the drive-in if you’re obsessively concerned with having the best possible sound and audio quality surrounding you with such pristine remasterings that any flaw or error will stand out […]
Dario Argento’s Nightmare Fuel: the Surreal Horror of Suspiria

*Guest Post by BILLY RUSSELL Much more so than many other “surreal” or “nightmarish” horrors, Suspiria truly captures the feeling of being trapped in a bad dream and being unable to awaken from it. There’s a self-contained logic that is never fully explained and real life is never allowed to intrude on the macabre story […]
Passenger from MH Flight 370 Sends Photo/Metadata from Diego Garcia!

We had a feeling this one wasn’t over yet. The incredible media attention to the Malaysian Flight 370 mystery has yielded a shocking new revelation. We already knew that the United States had a military base, DIEGO GARCIA, in the Indian Ocean near where the plane may have gone down. New information has surfaced from […]
Creepy Vintage Photos of MUMMIES!

Mummy unwrapping ceremonies used to occur fairly regularly. For Victorians and 1950s German academics, it was actually a form of entertainment. Held in lecture halls and universities, mummy unwrapping parties became morbid high brow academic ceremonies fusing the latest archeological discoveries of the time with the public’s own twisted love of the dead and grotesque. […]
Old Mysterious Photos of Psychics and Fortune Tellers

Since the beginning of history, psychics have been both worshipped and feared, their powers a subject of both belief and cynicism. Yet, whether you believe in psychic powers as real or unreal, psychics have played a significant role in the shaping of human history. In centuries past, royal families planned marriages and wars were fought […]

Old Mysterious Photos that will Haunt Your Dreams

Looking at old vintage photos out of context is not only a recipe for creepiness, it’s also one of our favorite pastimes. What passed for everyday life 60+ years ago might send you running down the block screaming today. The following photos are downright eerie, anyway you spin it. And since we cannot explain many […]

The Best Horror Movies of 2013

These are the days and months when many people start reflecting on their year’s accomplishments and failures–the Ghost Diaries reflects on horror movies. We look back on the year with nostalgic fondness, running a slow motion highlight reel of brutal murders, screaming faces, demonic possession, and pools of blood spreading across new laminate floorboards. 2013 […]

The Creepy Urban Legend of the Black Eyed Kids

For a few years now, a collection of strange stories about black eyed kids has been bouncing around the Internet via paranormal forums and supernatural chat rooms. These stories have a single originating point–a creepy experience reported by journalist Brian Bethel on January 16, 1998. Brian claims he was approached in his car by two […]

The Best Horror Movies Of 2012

As explorers of the paranormal realm, we here at The Ghost Diaries relish few things more than a great horror movie. In fact, the horror movie genre is about as close as we get to transcendence. Fortunately, 2012 turned out to be a beast of a year in this department, as over a dozen quality […]

Was Stanley Kubrick Killed By The Illuminati?

One of the more outlandish conspiracy theories holds that Stanley Kubrick was killed by the Illuminati for revealing too much about the secret society in his final film Eyes Wide Shut. While the official cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest (certainly not shocking for a 70 year-old man), some conspiracists point to the […]

Attorney Claims Photographic Proof Of Time Travel

“The time-space age has begun.” — Andrew D. Basiago In decades past, the concepts of time travel and timeslips were relegated to pop culture references to Back to the Future and The Terminator. But, according to “chrononaut” and american lawyer Andrew Basiago, time travel not only exists, it is part of a real life Philadelphia […]

Hollywood’s Most Haunted and Cursed Movie Sets

Every now and then a horror movie comes along that is so plagued by deaths and disaster that one can’t help but wonder if the film production itself might be haunted or cursed. What many of us may not realize is that some horror movies were just as terrifying to create as they are to […]

The Most Convincing Ghosts on Video Ever

The web is saturated with sites featuring amateur ghost videos. After all, capturing a ghost on video is the holy grail of a paranormal investigation. On YouTube, most of the ghost videos are fabricated. Unfortunately these hoaxes are mixed in with a gold mine of video that homeowners have shot featuring authentic paranormal phenomena. Remember: […]

UFOs and Aliens in Ancient Art

The earliest depictions of ancient aliens and UFOs are those carved on a mountain in Hunan, China. They are said to be dated 47,000 years old, which puts them in the time span of the Neanderthal man, predating Homo-sapiens. These paintings seem to suggest early encounters with unknown beings and, perhaps, visitations from extraterrestrials. The […]

Disturbing Final Quotes from Serial Killers, Deranged Minds, and the Condemned

Serial killers say the darndest things. As do many deranged minds and criminals in the final moments before execution. We’ve been collecting final quotes from all around the web and we’ve been very picky. These are the ones that resonate most with us: Robert Erskine Childers: “Take a step forward, lads, it’ll be easier that […]

Old Mysterious Photos of Witches

Witches. One of the most persecuted, least understood groups of people on the planet. Blending ideas of occult magic with Wiccan and pagan traditions, practitioners of witchcraft have been labelled everything from demonic to jesters. For most of their history, witches were treated with savagery and contempt; they were frequently run from towns during ‘witch […]

Movie Dystopias That Will Actually Happen!

Dystopias, gotta love ‘em. Great artists have been scaring the crap out of us with grim prophecies of the future since time immemorial. Movies have made the visions just that much more real. We’ve put together a list of the movie dystopias that not only could happen, they probably will happen. So remember, this isn’t […]

By Finding Aliens, Will We Find Demons?

There are few entities that dominate our society more than aliens and demons. Whether you’re talking about science fiction, SETI, or religion, either the search for extraterrestrial beings or ghouls from Hell will be present somewhere. Both so close and so far, humanity as a whole can’t quite figure out where these entities live or […]

Incredible Movie Poster Art by LAURENT DURIEUX!

They don’t make movies posters like they used to …or do they? We’ve recently been drooling over the movie poster art of Laurent Durieux, who has risen from the ashes of a dying art form. The days are long gone when movie posters were thrilling conceptual works of art you’d proudly displayed on the walls […]

Time Travel Proof on Video?

The persisting fascination with time travel is likely a symptom of the malaise of modern man. I highly doubt that the inventors of steam power sat around imagining what it would be like to travel back to the Dark Ages. Yet I’m sitting here with a supercomputer in my pocket speaking in real time with […]

4 Worst Vampire Movie Sequels of the 21st Century (so far)

This would be easy, if I was including the Twilight series. They would have knocked out 2 of the four, but I’m not because that would be a cop out. Blade: Trinity (2004) The first two Blade movies are kind of decent, but Trinity is as bad as the Blade TV series. In the beginning […]

5 Signs the Age of Paranormal Transhumanism Is Upon Us

The age of paranormal transhumanism is upon us–when humans will use machines to realize magical, psychic powers once relegated to the realms of science fiction and fantasy.

Old Mysterious Photos that will Haunt Your Dreams : Part 2

The following photos were culled from the dark archives of the past. Once again, we have no explanation for them. They could be works of art. Maybe they’re the photographic relics of a deranged family or cult. Or perhaps they’re messages from possessed entities. We honestly can’t comprehend how these images came to be. Clearly, […]

How To Make Money With Psychic Powers

ESP skeptics often ask: if there are people out there who have psychic abilities, why don’t they use those powers to make money at casinos or on the stock market, or to win the lottery? There are several problems with this question. One, it is assuming that financial gain would necessarily be the top priority […]
