In 2014, Kenny Veach went missing in the Mojave Desert looking for an odd cave in the area. Veach went out on hiking trips frequently and would sometimes leave for days camping and hiking. On November 10th 2014 Veach told his girlfriend that he was going to go exploring and left. For months before he disappeared he had mentioned a cave that was shaped like an M in the desert and supposedly the cave emits odd frequencies and caused the visitors to vibrate and feel fear. Veach had mentioned the cave when he commented on another hikers YouTube vlog. He commented on the video that he would take a video camera and look inside the odd cave after other hikers asked for proof. Although he was encouraged by other YouTubers, some discouraged him from trying to find the cave. Veach left early in the morning and intended to stay overnight. Unfortunately Veach never returned home while looking for the cave. His girlfriend filed a missing persons report when he didn’t return home, his phone was found abandoned in the desert near an old mine. When cameras were lowered into the mine no body was found ruling out falling.Veach was notorious for avoiding the use of gps and maps, stating that amateurs used them. Many people in his community as well as other hikers on YouTube went and searched the desert. There have been theory’s such as being bitten by a snake, dehydration. However if that were the case his remains would have certainly been found in the vast area that was searched. Due to the nature of the M shaped cave, ufo abduction and being kidnapped by the government or a local gang have been thrown out as explanations. Some suggest that he had stumbled upon something that was not meant to be seen such as an experiment or killing of a rival gang member. Veach’s girlfriend believes that he died by suicide and went into the desert to do so. She mentioned on his YouTube channel that depression ran in his family and that he told her that he would rather die in the wilderness so that his loved ones would not find him, like he had found his own father in the past. Veach is presumed dead and his remains as well as the mysterious cave have never been found.
Well, look what she can do… if she wanted us dead. When we cut into her. She tried to stop us each time. It’s like there’s something she doesn’t want us to find.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Located in Central Pennsylvania near the Maryland border lies Rehmeyer’s Hollow. Before being renamed, it was ominously called Hex Hollow.
A two-storey wooden house tucked in among the forest still stands. This house was the home of Nelson Rehmeyer. On the night of the 27th of November, 1928, it was the scene of his murder. Another resident, John Blymire, had been unable to sleep or eat for a prolonged period. Believing he was under some kind of curse, he went to local witch, Nellie Noll (also known as the River Witch of Marietta), for advice. Nellie told John that he was correct: he had been placed under a curse. But by who? Nelson Rehmeyer, Nellie replied.
There was a strong believe in witchcraft and curses in Pennsylvania at the time with many people practicing a form of folk magic called “powwow.” However, powwow focuses on healing ailments as opposed to creating them. It certainly was true that Nelson practiced magic but he practised powwow magic and had once allegedly cured Nelson of an illness. Nevertheless, Nellie said Nelson had placed this curse on John which was causing his ailments. He needed to kill him to life the curse, he believed.
On that fateful evening, John and two accomplices, John Curry and Wilbert Hess, made their way to the “hex house.” Once inside, the trio strangled and bludgeoned Nelson to death before mutilating his corpse and setting fire to his home. Somehow, the house survived the blaze, citing so-called further evidence of Nelson’s association with the supernatural. The three killers were soon apprehended; the trial garnered widespread notoriety. John and John were sentenced to life imprisonment while Wilbert was sentenced to 10 to 20 years.
All three of the killers were released from prison early and went on to live quiet and unassuming lives. The hex hysteria became a distant memory and then transformed into something of an urban legend. Powwowing still exists today.

The Borley Rectory Haunting
Borley Rectory was a house that gained infamy as “the most haunted house in England”. It had been alleged to be haunted ever since it was built in 1862. These reports multiplied suddenly in 1929, after the Daily Mirror published an account of a visit by paranormal researcher Harry Price, who wrote two books supporting claims of paranormal activity.
One of the most interesting manifestations of the haunting were the writing on the wall. It is believed the writings had come from a young deceased catholic woman who wanted her body to be discovered and receive a proper christian burial ceremony. she was trying to communicate with Marianne, wife of the reverend Lionel Foyster, the couple living in the rectory in October 1930.
The scribbled writing is allegedly from the ghost while the writing below is from Marianne’s attempt to communicate with it.
What I can read: -Marianne light mass prayers -Marianne please help get -
The house burned down in 1939 and was later demolished in 1944. LIFE photographer David Scherman was on hand to cover the event. While covering the demolition of England’s most haunted house, Scherman photographed a brick that rose from the ruins and floated in the air for several seconds.
Worst. Sensation. Ever.
Have you ever felt pins and needles all over your body along with the sensation of falling from the last floor of a skyscraper, then realize you can’t move any part of your body? Welcome, this is sleep paralysis.
Scientifically it’s a sleep disorder consisting in the paralysis of all your muscles, no one excluded, while you’re conscious. In fact it usually happens before falling asleep or during awakening. It’s caused by a disconnection between body and mind: your body is sleeping while your mind is awake. Troubles come if it happens in your R.E.M phase, that’s when you start having nightmares while lucid dreaming.
This event has been frequent all around the globe since the dawn of time. That’s why every culture has its legend and all of them talk about a common cause: spirits, goblins and demons, like Incubus, Succubus, Lamia, Mara, Lidérc, Vrachnas, Gui ya shen and so on. Their main purpose is to haunt our dreams to absorb our energies. They are with us, sitting on our chest. 🙂
