We humans are fond of asking hypothetical questions. Sometimes these come in the form of torturous, disgusting ultimatums: would you rather make out with a drugged warthog for half an hour or live in a sewer for a week? Or in the form of potential superpowers: would you rather have the ability to fly or [...]
You asked for it and we’re delivering the goods. We’ve watched over 150 zombie movies in order to compile this list. Our minds are lost. And yes, this includes many different types of zombies. Whether they’re infected with a virus, or turned undead by a voodoo curse or radioactive goo, as long as they resemble [...]
A ghost story is a hard one to manage. As far as concocting a scary story for a horror movie, it’s easy for a movie about a haunting to slip into utter ridiculousness as each scare, by formulaic definition, must top the last one until, at the very end of the movie, anything that once [...]
We’ve all experienced instances of synchronicity in our lives, moments that seem so incredibly coincidental it’s as if the cosmos themselves are laughing at us. The Ghost Diaries decided to gather the most haunting coincidences ever reported. Prepare yourself for some of the most sinister examples of synchronicity you could possibly imagine…and remember, they actually [...]
The concept of reincarnation has grown from its roots in ancient mysticism to a vibrant culture meme, recycled and reinvented from generation to generation. Reincarnation, at the very least, suggests a collective human memory bank and powerful cosmic synchronicity. Contemporary views on reincarnation are beginning to transcend stale religious platitudes, which is refreshing for those [...]
Though it’s hard to believe, there are thousands of people who claim to have witnessed strange entities who suddenly shift physical appearances. Fringe conspiracists believe there could be extraterrestrials or even demons living among us in disguise. Some claim these shifts have even been caught on video. The following post was submitted to us by [...]
Everyone wants to be scared when we’re watching a horror movie, but why? Why do we crave the worst? Why do we want to see movies where the unspeakable things only our imaginations could create will be lurking in the darkness to jump out at us? My theory is that we go to the movies [...]
In the early 1990s, a well-traveled man arrived in Tokyo for a business trip. But he had a problem. Though the man spoke several languages and possessed a variety of international currencies, he found himself utterly marooned in the wrong country. Why? His passport and driver’s license tied him to a country called Taured, which [...]
The Ghost Diaries recently rated the best horror films of 2012. Now that a new year is upon us, it’s time to look forward, into the darkness. So far, 2013 looks like it’s going to be a mind-blowing year for horror films. This is the most excited we’ve been in years to see what Hollywood [...]
Milton William Cooper was either a gun-toting nutcase or a whistle-blowing patriot, depending on who you talk to. One of the most influential conspiracy theorists of the 20th century, Cooper was shot dead at his Eager, Arizona home in 2001 after years of anti-government activism. His seminal book Behold a Pale Horse has recently experienced [...]
One could fill an encyclopedia with all of Disneyland’s hidden worlds and histories. Since 1955 over 600 million people have walked through Disneyland’s magical gates. But legend has it that some of them never left. You see, Disneyland is said to be one of the most haunted areas in California. Guests and cast members alike [...]
This post is about cavemen ghosts and dinosaur ghosts. Yes. If you’re smirking let us humbly point out that half the world’s religions believe in deities arising from the dead. Are prehistoric ghosts really that much more absurd? People interested in paranormal activity often speak of ancient Indian burial grounds haunted by tribal spirits. But [...]
Well, Christmas is upon us. Time to go to sleep and wait for an old fat man in a red robe to slide down your chimney and creep around your house in the dark. Ever thought about old Santa wielding an axe? Or what about a zombie uprising on Christmas? We were going to list [...]
In some circles, the legendary Chupacabra is believed to be a genetic experiment that escaped from military control. Others theorize that it’s of extraterrestrial origin, or even a cover for an underground vampire cult. One thing that most cryptozoologists can agree on is that the Chupacabra is a vampire-like creature that drains all the blood [...]
*Featured image by Gustvoc The idea of ancient aliens, ancient UFOs, and ancient astronauts have often skirted around depictions of Vimanas, elaborate dirigibles from India that supposedly predated modern technology. In the Sanskrit texts “Vimanas” refer to religious temples. Interpretations of what these temples actually were run the gamut from interstellar spaceships to early prototypes [...]
****SPOILERS BELOW**** It’s been a couple weeks now and the withdrawal is starting to kick in. After consuming 2 and 1/2 nail-biting seasons of The Walking Dead, The Ghost Diaries now finds itself jonesing for new episodes, much as a walker might fiend for human flesh. If you were able to check out our Top [...]
“He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake”. While most of us enjoy drinking egg nog and being merry at Christmas time, for some kids the idea of Santa Claus can be an absolutely terrifying prospect. A fat man who lives in a glacier and has telepathic control over a pack of [...]
If you’re like us, you’ve probably laid in bed at night wondering, “Where are all the aliens?” Radio astronomer Frank Drake once estimated that there are 10,000 advanced civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy alone. This calculation is known as the Drake equation. Carl Sagan upped the number to a million. And these figures are [...]
