The Phantom Girl in Photographs

During the digitization of a series of photographs that dated back to the early 1900s, the authority of Krasnoyarsk Regional Museum in Siberia found this mystical tiny girl in around 20 different images and in four glass negatives. The startling thing was that the little girl is always dressed in white, standing in the same position with the same expression on her face, and always she occupies a discreet position in the photographs. Her dress and boots change but her demeanour is always the same. Although she is suspected to be related to the photographer, no one has yet come forward to identify the mysterious young girl.

During the Cold War, some low-frequency radio stations would broadcast a few series of numbers in synthesized voices or Morse code, which were believed to be for intelligence officers listening in foreign countries. Starting with a weird melody or the sound of several beeps, these transmissions might be followed by the unnerving sound of a strange woman’s voice counting in German or the creepy voice of a child reciting letters in English. Today, people think they still hear interruptions that sound just like the old number stations. Hear an example here, but be warned, it’s creepy!

Prabhdeep Srawn is a Canadian military reservist who disappeared on a hiking trip in Australia in May 2013. Srawn parked his rented camper and set off on the Main Range Walk in Kosciuszko National Park. A staff member called the police when he noticed that the vehicle hadn’t moved for almost a week, though it only had a 24-hour parking pass on it.
