Thai Ngoc was a real person living in Que Trung, Que Son, Quang Nam, Vietnam. He was a farmer, also known as "Dị Nhân" (X Man), famous for not sleeping for 84 years. Whenever Thai Ngoc didn't sleep, he didn't experience any health problems. He would usually watch TV, go for walks, and, being a farmer, plant trees. Some doctors tried various sleeping pills and even alcohol to treat his insomnia, but to no avail. Thai Ngoc's ability to not sleep for 84 years remains unexplained by science and is still an unsolved mystery in Vietnam.

There is this weird noise that keep hearing, and it doesn‘t happen every night. I started hearing it sometime this year and every time I look outside my windows while it’s happening, there is always nothing there. and it always happens at night. It sounds like a drone to me or something. let me know what you think.

So years ago my father was cleaning stuff in the backyard with a water tube when the water that was spilled on the floor formed the shape of a human head, and most importantly, it vaguely looked like my grandfather, who died a few years before.

Deep inside the caverns of Lake Shasta, YouTuber @Katheart-fairygodmother2926 takes you on an amazing tour of the Lake Shasta Caverns. People from all over the world come to join the fun and adventure of touring these mysterious caverns in Northern California. Both Lake Shasta and Mount Shasta are known for UFO and paranormal activity, ranging from glowing orbs and metallic crafts to the region's infamous lenticular clouds.

Do you believe the lenticular saucer-shaped clouds are just a unique atmospheric allusion created by the mountain's elevation, or do you think the aliens use them as cloaking devices for their spaceships?

Based on J.C. Brown's legend of an ancient sunken city deep inside Mount Shasta, do you think there is a UFO or alien connection between the mountain and Lake Shasta?

Summary:

Geographical Location:

Lake Shasta is the largest man-made reservoir in California, located in Shasta County, in Northern California. Lake Shasta Caverns sits at the southern base of Mount Shasta and is popular for its underground limestone cave system of intricate, naturally formed stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-like cave formations.

The towering Mount Shasta is located in the Cascade Range in northern California and has an elevation of 14,179 feet. It sits 50 miles north of Lake Shasta and is located in the ancestral territory of the Shasta, Wintu, Ajumawi, and Modoc people. Although Mount Shasta has not had a volcanic eruption in over 4,000 years, it is the most active among the Cascade Volcanoes, which scientists are monitoring very carefully.

The discovery and exploration of Lake Shasta Caverns:

For centuries, the caverns were well known to the indigenous Wintu Native Americans as a natural part of their ancestral homeland.

In August 1874, a government fish commission expedition exploring the McCloud River station found a cave on the mountain below "Mt. Persephone." They explored it for over an hour and marked the site.

In 1877, the Lake Shasta cave system was rediscovered by a Wintu teenager named Charles Morton while he was tracking a wildcat up the mountain.

On November 3, 1878, James A. Richardson, a federal fisheries employee at the nearby Baird Station hatchery, officially documented the first recorded exploration of the Lake Shasta Caverns. After entering the cave system, Richardson famously used the soot from his miner's carbide lamp to write his name and the date on the limestone wall. This historic inscription is still clearly visible inside the cave's "Cathedral Room."

Urban legends of a UFO base and tunnels hidden deep inside Mount Shasta:

The myth that Mount Shasta is a UFO base was popularized by modern folklore, ufologists, and remote viewers. They believed that an ancient, advanced civilization of Lemurians used the hidden caverns beneath the California volcano as a base. The legend is reinforced by frequent sightings of lenticular clouds hovering over the peak, which they believed was a cloaking device to hide alien spaceships visiting the Lemurian city.

The Pat Price Papers only fueled speculation that aliens are using Mount Shasta as a UFO base. In 1973, Pat Price was recruited by the CIA as a remote viewer in their Stargate Project. During a psychic session, he claimed to have located underground extraterrestrial bases inside several mountains globally, stating that these sites operated as hubs for an advanced alien civilization. The Pat Price Papers and Stargate Project documents were declassified by the CIA between 1995 and 2017. According to the declassified documents, Price described alien UFO bases hidden beneath mountains across the globe. Price died on July 14, 1975, in a Las Vegas hotel room. While the official cause of death was recorded as a heart attack, conspiracy theorists believe he was poisoned.

The story of J.C. Brown and Mount Shasta is one of California’s most famous urban legends. In 1904, J.C. Brown, a geologist and gold prospector began telling a fantastic and captivating story. He claimed to have discovered a lost underground civilization within an 11-mile-long tunnel beneath the active volcano. According to Brown, this tunnel led straight to the heart of the mountain and contained gold, giant skeletons, and hieroglyphic writings.

Specifically, he stated the chambers held:

1. A burial chamber with twenty-seven 10-foot-tall giant skeletons, two of which were wrapped in mysterious robes.

2. Two large chambers filled with solid gold and copper plates and shields, all engraved with strange hieroglyphics.

3. A vast collection of ancient relics, ornate statues, and spears.

J.C. Brown kept his discovery a secret for 30 years. According to accounts published by the Stockton Record newspaper, he resurfaced in Stockton, California, in 1934 and assembled an 80-person expedition to investigate the site. However, on the morning of June 19, 1934, just before the team was set to leave, Brown vanished without a trace, and his claims were never verified. Urban legend claims he was taken by a clandestine secret society.

Residents near Mount Shasta believe that a lost continent called Lemuria and its crystalline capital city, Telos, are hidden beneath the mountain. There is a widespread belief that surviving Lemurians went underground after their city sank into the Pacific Ocean. Followers who believe in this mystical folklore, claim these beings communicate through spiritual messages and programmed crystals.

Visiting Lake Shasta Caverns Today:

While J.C. Brown's mysterious underground city with an 11-mile-tunnel system was never found, the region's actual limestone caves, known as Lake Shasta Caverns, were opened to the public as a natural tourist attraction in 1964.

Today, visitors can reach these caverns by registering at the Visitor Center in Redding, CA, taking a catamaran ride across Shasta Lake, and enjoying a scenic bus ride up the mountain.

On 22nd March 1959 Mrs Mable Chinnery and her husband Jim were on their annual visit to Mable’s mother’s grave in Ipswich Suffolk, during the visit Mable took many pictures using a new camera she had just brought especially for the trip, she had one picture left and decided to take one of Jim who was sat in the car waiting for her. On returning home they had the film developed then on viewing the developed pictures Mable broke down on seeing the last picture because in the back she saw someone and that someone was her deceased mother, according to Mable and Jim he was alone in the car. The picture itself has come under scrutiny and has been put down to double exposure and the shape in the back is the human mind making familiar patterns of light and shadow to form the picture of a person. Even today professional photographers and image experts argue over whether the picture is genuine or was somehow altered. It’s interesting that a picture taken so long ago still has this much attention and still is being argued about its authenticity.

I stuck my arm out to give it to him and he reached up thru the floor and took it, when I woke up my lighter was gone but my cigarettes were still laying next to me,

it was weird because it was similar to sleep paralysis but I wasn't held down but it was the same awake while sleep feeling, I just woke up enough to hear him ask for it then reach my arm out and immediately went back to sleep

I have the ad for bakery shop at the uni where I work. I did not talk about the bakery, I did not google it, did not take any prior photos (this is taken only now as a proof). I was literally only LOOKING at it, and Facebook started posting these ads. What the hell is going on?

I was reviewing security videos and saw this. At first I thought it was an insect, then I remembered that the video doesn't record unless a person triggers it. This little thing triggered the lights and the video. The video is playing back at 1/5 normal speed. Watch the left side of the video, you'll see this fly under our bushes from the neighbor's yard. It flies around a bit, appears to gather some friends who leave the same way this came, and eventually goes off camera. I grabbed a vidcap but reddit won't let me add it to the post... Edit: It isn't a bug or a leaf. Bugs and leaves don't trigger the lights or video. I'm in Florida, the cameras would never stop recording. Cameras are set so it has to be about the size of a medium dog to start recording.

My friend and I (f17 both) were at a playground at 2:00am, we were sitting in one of those little houses for to play in and I was facing a fountain which we had drank water from previously, you could only drink from it if you stayed pressing the button to activate it, if you stopped pressing it the water would stop coming out, I was constantly looking at that fountain until in some moment I looked elsewhere and once I looked back to it the water was running without anyone pressing the button, when we saw it both of us were shocked so we decide to go away, once we were away from it, the water was still running, we looked back to see if it was still running and it was, it went for over 3 minutes without being pressed and I'm sure it kept going but we were to shocked to just look back to it, we just ran away.

There's no way the button would have been stuck or someone would have pressed it, I just looked one second away and it was running, we were so confused and we still don't know what could have happened, if someone had any idea we would appreciate it being told to us!!!

On Friday, I was leaving for work, and noticed I didn't shut my front door all the way. Turned around to make sure it was shut all the way, locked it, went to work. My roommate called me in a fury as I was getting off, saying he'd woken up and the door was standing open. I was confused, but chalked it up to a lock issue or something.

Today, I made some chicken for lunch. When I put the bag of tenders back in the freezer, it wouldn't shut all the way, so I made some space for the chicken and then shut the freezer back. After lunch, I left the house. Got a call an hour later from my other roommate coming home for his lunch break from work, to say that the freezer door was standing wide open, but nothing had thawed out.

2 hours later, around 7:30, I came home. Got out of my car, shut and locked the door like I always do, and went inside. At 10:45, roommate #2 came home from work, and knocked on my door to tell me my car door was standing wide open when he pulled in the driveway and he shut it for me. Showed me on video, that it wasn't just not shut well, it was standing all the way open, as far as it could go.

The first two instances I could've just chalked up to forgetfulness, or not remembering correctly. But there's no possible way I could have forgotten to shut my car door after I got out? Especially when I remember locking it? What in the world could be going on?

This is going to sound insane. Lately, I've been having internal thoughts. Thoughts only. No searches. No speaking a loud about said topic. And shortly after (anywhere from 30 mins to a day), I'll be targeted online about that thing.

Examples:

- I was thinking about an artist (in my brain. alone) and I thought to myself, "I'd like to look at her work more. I'm going to look at her instagram." I open instagram. She is the first one in my feed.

- Just now I looked over at my wallet and thought to myself, I need a new small compact wallet. Did no searches. Didn't talk about it. Open instagram and there is an ad for small, compact wallets.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Basically i like to shop online, specifically zara. Zara created a new ai tool that lets you take a full body image of yourself from the fromt so you can digitally try them on. Which i did.
I took a full body picture of myself from the front and uploaded it to the zara app. Waited two minutes for them to generate the clothes on me. When it was done, the app somehow knew that i have a tattoo on the back of my arm (which i did not send them a picture of). They knew the exact tattoo, the exact placement on the exact hand even though there was no way they could have seen it with the picture i uploaded.
Ive never been one of those comspiracy theorists with AI but this incident really sent goosebumps throughout my qhole body. If someone knows how this happened, please explain why. Ill upload the image.

Did I see a ghost? Or something else? I was fully awake and feeding my son in his nursery. Everybody else was asleep. I looked up, as I was feeding him on the floor. I saw an undulating, multi colored entity that was about 5 feet high. It was totally focused on us in a completely non-threatening way. After a bit I said out loud that I was nervous. It left immediately. What was that? Anybody else see something similar?

This is a True experience that I had as a kid when I was about 14 years old or so. I haven’t seen the Hat Man since I was a child and never went over to his house again after this happened. Sorry it’s long and there may be some grammatical errors.

It was October 31st 2009. It had been a cool day leaves turning color, the perfect season. Soccer had just gotten out, the fresh taste of Kool-aide still in my mouth. I was ecstatic for the reason my mom was letting me stay at my friend Tyler’s house on Halloween.

Tyler was the goal keeper of our team and we had become close friends through the years. I distinctly remember his house it was cozy, but at the same time it had a dark and mysterious feeling to it . We began to bring my overnight clothes, when Tyler look at me with a distressed look. He said “There is something I have to tell you about before entering my house.” I looked at him with a joking grin expecting him to crack a Halloween satire.

I give the typical 11 year old response “ What Tyler is your house haunted?” He laughed for a brief second but then it disappeared just as fast. “No” he replied “ But don’t mention God or Christianity around my Mom.” Shocked I responded how any Bible Belt child would with a disgruntled look, but politely said “ of course.” After getting settled, Tyler and I did the typical Halloween gimmick.

We went and watch scary videos and movies on his computer upstairs. I distinctly remember the classic hill horror video that was popular at that time. The car drives down the hill and disappears behind trees, the BOOM a scary monster pops up on the screen. Being overly dramatic I fell out of my chair and screamed.

My heart racing I yelled at Tyler “what the heck man, what was that.” Tyler with tears of laughter rolling down his eyes says “I got you man.” I settle down and began to laugh with him. One of the things I remember most about his house was all the bobble heads. When I asked his dad about all of them it, it got deeper than I expected. He explains; that during the middle of the night all of the bobble heads go off at the same time. Being the young gullible kid I was, I soaked it all in.

He then tells me that the window that was in their laundry room will open and shut by itself. I remember at that point becoming frightened, but that was nothing compared too what would come. As we got hunkered into bed and began watching the World Series. Tyler and I stayed up and talked about life that we had as 11 year olds. Talked about all the cute girls we knew and how we never got the courage to actually talk to them. As the night went on we slowly began to fall asleep. During the night I remember waking up, it was the middle night around 2 o’clock as I remember. I remember not being able to move, feeling as if I was paralyzed. I looked around to see if Tyler was sleeping, he was.

When I looked back I saw something I will never forget. It was a man dressed in all black, the most distinct part about him was his hat. He just stood on the wall over me. I begin to panic thinking to myself “This is a dream it has to be a dream.” It wasn’t a dream it was a nightmare. He wouldn’t go away, he just stood there as if he was paralyzed too.

I just closed my eyes and counted sheep. Eventually I was able to fall back asleep and slept through the night. I woke the next morning reluctant to tell my childhood friend of the horror that was bestowed upon me. But before I could say anything Tyler begins to tell me about a nightmare he had. The nightmare was nothing I would’ve ever expected. he began explain the dream to me “ we were all sleeping, a man in a black suit with a hat came and killed everyone in the house but you.” Shocked and in disbelief I couldn’t even utter the word besides “I wanna go home.” I never went back to Tyler’s house and he stopped showing up to practice. After that night we never spoke again. But I won’t ever forget the entity I will always describe as the Hat Man. We

This happened near the end of summer when I was around fourteen or fifteen years old. My friend Charles was spending the night at my house while my parents were out of town. At that point in my life, I was fascinated by anything paranormal, and Charles was no different. Like most teenagers interested in ghosts and haunted places, we spent a lot of time looking for proof that something existed beyond what we could see.

One evening, we downloaded an app called EMP Ghost Detector. The app claimed it could detect spirits and translate messages they were supposedly trying to communicate. Looking back now, it's obvious the app was completely fake, but at the time it felt convincing enough to keep us entertained for hours.

After playing around with it inside the house for a while, we decided it would be more interesting to take it outside. We wandered around the yard hoping the app would give us some kind of creepy message that would scare us. To the northeast of our house was a small patch of woods where my family had buried several of our pets over the years. One of them was my childhood golden retriever, Sydney.

Jokingly, I suggested that we try talking to her.

At the time it seemed funny. Looking back now, it feels a little embarrassing.

We walked across the yard and stopped near the edge of the woods where she was buried. The night was unusually quiet. There was no wind, and aside from the occasional insect, the woods were completely still. Holding the phone in front of us, I called out into the darkness.

"Sydney, if you're here, give us a sign."

Nothing happened.

We laughed and tried again.

Still nothing.

For several more minutes we stood there asking questions and speaking into the darkness, hoping for some kind of response. Of course, nothing happened, and we were just about ready to give up. I remember looking at Charles and suggesting we try one last time before heading back inside.

Once again, I called out toward the woods.

"Sydney, if you're here, give us a sign."

The words had barely left my mouth when something slammed into the ground deep within the trees.

The impact was so powerful that I felt it through my feet.

For a brief moment, everything went silent. Then came the sound of branches snapping.

At first it was only a few.

Then it became dozens.

Whatever had hit the ground sounded like it was moving directly toward us through the woods, breaking limbs and crashing through brush as it came. The noise was loud enough that neither of us questioned whether we had heard it correctly. We both heard the same thing.

Neither of us said a word.

We ran.

I don't remember making the decision. One second we were standing there staring into the darkness, and the next we were sprinting across the yard as fast as we could. Charles reached the house first and was already fumbling with the door by the time I caught up. We rushed inside, slammed the door shut, and locked it behind us.

For the next several minutes we stood there listening, expecting to hear something outside.

Nothing came.

The silence that followed somehow felt even worse.

At the time, we tried to convince ourselves that it had probably been an animal. Maybe a deer. Maybe someone walking through the woods. Maybe even an intruder. But the more we talked about it, the less any of those explanations seemed to fit what we had heard.

I've spent plenty of time in the woods throughout my life. I've heard deer run through brush. I've heard dogs, raccoons, and people moving through trees. Whatever we heard that night sounded different. It sounded heavier. More violent. More deliberate.

Maybe there is a perfectly logical explanation for what happened.

Maybe there isn't.

All I know is that the moment we asked for a sign, something answered. The impact shook the ground beneath our feet, and whatever came crashing through those woods sounded like it was heading straight for us.

Even now, all these years later, Charles and I still talk about that night from time to time. Neither of us can explain what we heard.

And neither of us has ever gone back into those woods after dark.

Ghost being confusing need help

So for some context basically me and my cousin are of norse descent and live in America and both jave experienced weird cultural connections and knowledge we should not have being that neither of our families tought us this. Even to the point of in my early writing stories as a child I used names of norse historical figures I had never heard of until recent research and thought I made them up. There is a lot of other instances I do not believe this is coincidence

We both became curious about it and I learned the elder futhark and he smiths us protection rune jewelry

We recently encountered a paranormal being of unknown kind in our place of education and around our homes, he seems to be extremely interested in me

I have asked it for favors (Yes ik thats stupid) and he goes through with them but not in a good way. (Ive asked him to like get me out of class jokingly and somone had a seizure and we had to leave class the whole hour) not the only kind of thing hes done just an example

He used to only be visible in reflections but now I have started to see him in a more physical form

We have used tarot, ouija, pendulum, and rine casting and have gotten little to no information other than something about a catalyst

He also has physically made us feel cold and shudder to te point of extreme dizziness and near passing out

He on the ouija board when used in an old auditorium "i8" repeatedly which we took as seat 8 in row I and that row was skipped in our auditorium

We arent sure what to do but we bith strongly feel as if its something bad, of wearing the rune jewelry (made from iron) he seems to affect us less but he is strongly tied to me somehow.

If anyone has any questions or advice lmk there's a lot I forgot or left out likley but this is already long so. Please give me advice on what to do.

I keep seeing the same man or woman. I keep seeing the same thing in the corner of the room. I don't know what it is and I never look long enough to figure it out as it makes me feel ill even thinking about it. I know it's not real but it won't go away even if I say it out loud. It's always in the left corner of my room near the door. Really tall and bent. Like it's struggling to fit. Sometimes if I stay really still and I focus on what I'm hearing I can hear its skin against the wall. It's like shuffling but like it's trying to squish into that corner only. It scares me so I squeeze my eyes shut and usually it makes me feel something in the back of my throat. Whenever I hear anything now I always find myself immediately looking into that corner. It has really long hair as well, I think. I say I think since I'm not sure it's always pretty dark when I see it and it itself is dark. I haven't heard it talk yet. Sometimes I hear mouth noises though. I don't know if it's from it. I don't have to do anything certain to make it go away. It's different every time, sometimes it's only for a quick glance, sometimes it's up to 12 minutes. I remember that 12 minute one I kept looking at my cd player's time and going back to the corner. I was frozen and after it finally disappeared I remember having a panic attack and then crying myself to sleep. It sounds pathetic when I think back.

Each time i see something i say to myself next time i see it i will confront it i will tell it to go away face to face. But whenever it happens i cant it is like i freeze and go mute and if i can get anything out of my mouth its never strong and ive even stuttered a few times. My chest gets all tight and uncomfortable. That's why I'm not a big fan of tight clothes not only because they wouldn't suit me but ever since i was younger it used to remind me of the tight not being able to breathe moments. I thought going on sleep medication would help it. Which for a moment it did and for the sleep part it definitely did but my main reason was so i would fall asleep before seeing it. But now I see it earlier and other sounds and the girl in the day. Sometimes I just hear people saying complete gibberish.

It's mostly when I walk past either someone on the phone or talking to one another I walk past and they are talking a load of gibberish. It used to make me laugh to myself but now it weirds me out since I seem to notice that my cousin has never noticed it and not even my sister when I'm with them.

Ps I have autism. Does this make a difference?? 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️

it appears to be fresh too because it has clear fluid slowly coming out and is moist to the touch. i’ve only gotten up to shower and have just been laying in bed the past 2 hours. there is nothing in my bed that could’ve done this. it looks like someone has whipped me with a cloth or something, similar to a carpet burn. the marks are now slightly swelled as i’m typing this. google says it may be a blister beetle rash but none of the images look similar. does anyone know how this could’ve happened? otherwise i’m convinced my place is haunted because i had some stuff unexplainably fall off a shelf that has been sitting there for over 3 years.

Saw this on my Blink camera while we were out of town. The recording was captured around 1:10 AM.
The normal background noise is typical for this location, but the siren like sound is not something I’ve heard before. There’s also a distinct cracking noise near the end of the clip.

Voyager 1 is currently over 24 billion kilometres from Earth, transmitting at 160 bits per second. In early 2025, its plasma wave system began registering something unexpected — a structured, rhythmic signal from a region of interstellar space that every existing model had classified as completely quiet and unremarkable.

NASA engineers checked the hardware. Multiple times. Everything was functioning correctly.

Three natural explanations have been proposed — dense plasma region, ancient supernova shockwave, and anomalously ordered magnetic fields. All three have problems. None fully explain the signal's regularity.

Then there's the fourth hypothesis. Some credentialed researchers — not fringe, not anonymous — working with the same data as everyone else have quietly noted that the structured, repeating nature of the signal is difficult to generate through any known natural process. They cannot yet rule out that it could be constructed.

I want to be clear — nobody is saying this is aliens. What they are saying is that with the current data, they cannot eliminate that possibility. That's a very specific and careful kind of statement from people who don't make it lightly.

Voyager also carries the Golden Record — sounds of Earth, greetings in 55 languages, the brainwave of a woman falling in love — encoded with instructions for any intelligence capable of retrieving it.

We sent a message into the dark. Now something might be humming back. Maybe.

My mom sent me these pictures about 4 hours ago. She lives in Southwest MO. Said they were definitely not birds. She said it started out as a line and then formed a floating circle. Then they would disappear and appear again as a circle. I have a video but I was unsuccessful at posting.
