As a society, we have always been fascinated by the paranormal. From ghost stories passed down through generations to the rise of modern-day ghost hunting, the unknown and unexplainable have captivated humans for centuries.

With the advent of the internet, it has become easier than ever to share and document paranormal experiences. In this blog, we will explore some of the most notable paranormal activities that occurred in recent history.

The Amityville Horror

Perhaps the most famous of all paranormal cases, the Amityville Horror occurred in 1974 in Amityville, New York. The Lutz family moved into their new home on Ocean Avenue, but soon began experiencing strange and terrifying events.

Doors would open and close on their own, the family saw apparitions, and green slime oozed from the walls. The family became convinced that their home was haunted by the ghosts of the DeFeo family, who had been murdered in the house just a year prior.

The story of the Amityville Horror has been retold in books and films, and remains one of the most chilling and controversial paranormal cases of all time.

The Stanley Hotel

The Stanley Hotel in Colorado is best known for inspiring Stephen King's famous novel, The Shining. King famously stayed in the hotel and was inspired by the eerie and unexplainable events that occurred during his stay.

In addition to King's experience, guests of the hotel have reported seeing ghosts, hearing unexplained noises, and feeling the presence of an otherworldly force. The hotel offers ghost tours for those brave enough to explore the haunted rooms and halls.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

In 1980, US Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England reported a series of strange events that have come to be known as the Rendlesham Forest Incident.

Over the course of several nights, the personnel saw strange lights in the forest and encountered a triangular-shaped craft. Many experienced strange physical symptoms after the encounter, including nausea and loss of time.

The event has been studied extensively, and while many people believe it to be a UFO sighting, skeptics argue that it was simply a military exercise. Despite the controversy, the Rendlesham Forest Incident remains one of the most intriguing and mysterious UFO sightings in history.

The Enfield Poltergeist

In 1977, the Hodgson family in Enfield, England reported a series of paranormal events that lasted for over a year. The family claimed that objects moved on their own, furniture was thrown across the room, and they heard unexplained knocking and thumping noises.

The events became known as the Enfield Poltergeist and were investigated by a team of experts, including author Guy Lyon Playfair. While some believe the events to be a hoax, many people, including the investigators, believe that the family truly experienced paranormal activity.

Conclusion

The paranormal has always been a topic of interest and intrigue, and these cases are just a small sampling of the countless stories that have been shared throughout history. While some people are skeptical of paranormal activity, the experiences of those who have encountered the unexplainable cannot be discounted. Regardless of one's beliefs, the paranormal remains a fascinating and often-chilling subject.
