In September 1988 Tara Calico disappeared without a trace. What happened to her remains a mystery, however, almost a year after it was last seen a woman found this polaroid shot in the parking lot of a supermarket and it is strongly suspected that the 19yo girl is Tara.

During the investigation of the events in the house of Amityville, researchers found this eerie photo.
All claim that the time in which they photographed the house it was empty and nobody remembers taking that picture specifically, but say they just appeared there and the child who is in it is very similar to one of the children murdered there three years before the Lutz family moved to the site and all paranormal events began that made this story so famous.
However the truth behind the picture remains debatable.

Two engineers hug and cling to each other as fire and smoke creeps toward them. They both died after. According to news reports, one of them jumped off the turbine while the other succumbed to the fire. What makes this more heartbreaking is that the two engineers are just aged 19 and 21. This accident happened in October 2013 at a wind farm in Ooltgensplaat, Holland. A crew of four were conducting routine maintenance at the 67-meter high wind turbine when fire suddenly broke out. Two of the four people were able to escape while the other two got trapped.


One of many alleged cases of spontaneous human combustion.

Omayra Sánchez was 13 when the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano destroyed the town of Armero in Colombia, where she lived.
At the time of the tragedy Omayra was trapped in the rubble of her home amongst mud and the bodies of her family. Rescuers discovered that it was impossible to remove her unless they amputated both her legs. Not having the equipment necessary for surgery it couldn't be done. The other option was to use a pump to suck the mud away but the only one available was too far from the site, so the only option was to let her go.
For three days Omayra remained conscious and talked to rescuers and journalists around her, who did their best to keep her calm until eventually she died because of her injuries and hypothermia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omayra_Sánchez

Here lately I've had a few lighters that have stayed lit after I released them. Another appeared to have leaked fluid. Spontaneous human combustion, anyone?

[GregK]

[chuck Dean]

[Pyramid_Head]

Seen all of them and they all amaze me for different reasons.

I love this stuff. The little girl who could not be rescued and the engineers were extra disturbing.

Great thread mate

Wow, some seriously haunting and, yes, disturbing photos (except for that Enfield and Amityville crap, both long since debunked). The little girl trapped in the water waiting to die is especially disturbing
