Ohio is home to a staggering number of haunted locations, each steeped in history, mystery, and eerie folklore. From abandoned buildings to cemeteries, old theaters, and even entire towns, the Buckeye State has a diverse array of sites that have earned reputations for being haunted by restless spirits. One of the most famous and terrifying locations is the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, a former prison that housed some of the state’s most notorious criminals. This imposing Gothic structure, which closed its doors in 1990, is often cited as one of the most haunted places in Ohio. The prison has witnessed countless tragedies, from violent prisoner uprisings to harsh conditions, which have left lingering energy throughout its halls. Visitors frequently report strange noises, shadowy figures, and even full-body apparitions, making it a popular destination for ghost hunters and thrill-seekers alike. Another notorious haunted location is the Franklin Castle in Cleveland, a massive Victorian mansion built in the 1800s. The castle is said to be haunted by the spirits of the Tiedemann family, who lived there during the late 19th century. The mysterious deaths of several family members, including children, have fueled rumors that the house is cursed. Some stories suggest that the mansion’s original owner, Hans Tiedemann, was involved in the tragic deaths, and the hauntings are a result of the family’s unresolved grief. Visitors to the Franklin Castle have reported hearing footsteps, seeing apparitions, and feeling sudden drops in temperature, all of which contribute to the house’s chilling reputation. Ohio also boasts some spooky cemeteries, with one of the most notable being Woodland Cemetery in Dayton. Known for its Gothic atmosphere and sprawling grounds, Woodland Cemetery is home to many ghost stories. Local legends speak of mysterious figures seen wandering the grounds at night, as well as ghostly apparitions that appear among the graves. Other visitors have reported hearing ghostly whispers and the sound of footsteps echoing through the cemetery when no one is around. The cemetery’s eerie aura has made it a popular site for paranormal investigations. One of Ohio’s most famous haunted sites is the Moonville Tunnel, located in the Appalachian region near McArthur. Built in the 1850s, the tunnel was once a vital part of the railroad system. Today, it is the site of numerous ghost stories and legends. The most prominent tale involves the spirit of a railroad brakeman who was reportedly struck by a train and killed while working in the tunnel. His ghost, along with other apparitions, is said to haunt the area, with reports of strange lights, eerie sounds, and even sightings of the ghostly brakeman himself. The Moonville Tunnel is particularly known for its otherworldly atmosphere, especially when the fog rolls in during the early morning hours. The Loveland Castle, located in Loveland, is another Ohio landmark that is said to be haunted. Built in the 1920s by a man named Harry D. Andrews, the castle has an eerie, medieval charm. Andrews, who dedicated his life to creating the castle, is said to still haunt the property, along with the spirits of his family members. Visitors have reported hearing strange sounds coming from the castle, as well as seeing shadowy figures in the windows. The castle’s dark, historic past has made it a prime location for those interested in exploring Ohio’s haunted heritage. These locations are just the beginning of Ohio’s haunted history, which extends across the state from the haunted theaters of Cincinnati to the ghost-filled streets of old mining towns in the hills of Appalachia. Each site holds its own unique blend of tragic history and supernatural phenomena, making Ohio a rich destination for those intrigued by the paranormal. With so many haunted locations, it’s no wonder that the state is considered one of the most eerie and ghost-ridden in the United States.

In this episode we continue on with some bigfoot fun from last weeks episode. We talk about some stories we found and dive into bigfoots love of bunt cake. Its all in fun as we do love the big guy. Bigfoot, the legendary cryptid, is usually depicted as a mysterious, elusive creature hiding in the forests, but there's definitely a humorous side to him too! Here are a few playful ideas about Bigfoot that bring out his funny side:     The World's Shiest Superstar: Bigfoot could easily be the most famous creature no one has ever truly met. He's like the introvert of the cryptid world—always leaving blurry photos and questionable footprints but never sticking around for the autograph!     Master of Hide-and-Seek: Bigfoot's entire existence could just be one long game of hide-and-seek. Imagine him seeing a group of campers approaching and thinking, "Oh no, they're coming! Time to blend into the trees and pretend I'm a log again." He might just be the champion of forest hide-and-seek, winning every time without even trying.     Clumsy Fashion Icon: Bigfoot is often described as a big, hairy, oversized creature. What if he’s just trying to keep up with the latest trends? Imagine him walking into a forest and suddenly tripping over a rock in his oversized, shaggy outfit. "You’re supposed to be a creature of grace!" he'd mutter, adjusting his mossy beard.     Giant Prankster: Maybe Bigfoot isn’t avoiding people so much as pulling pranks. He might leave a huge set of footprints, only to later walk in circles just to confuse the humans who try to follow him. Or, maybe he occasionally runs past a campsite just to hear the scream of a surprised camper before vanishing into the trees. "Classic Bigfoot," he thinks, chuckling to himself.     Bigfoot’s Love for Nature’s Selfies: The myth of Bigfoot might just be the result of him loving selfies. Maybe he's just out there in the wild snapping photos of himself against a scenic backdrop. The blurry images? Probably just a case of him not quite getting the whole "focus the camera" thing. "I swear, this time it looked great!" he’d say after taking a blurry shot of himself in front of a waterfall.     Bigfoot's Fitness Routine: Everyone talks about how Bigfoot must be some kind of super-athlete—running through the woods, avoiding human sight. But what if he’s just a really out-of-shape cryptid? "I’m just trying to get my 10,000 steps in!" he'd say, huffing and puffing through the trees after one of his short "sightings." Bigfoot could easily be the most misunderstood creature in the cryptid world, just a big, goofy guy trying to live his life, avoiding paparazzi, and maybe playing a few pranks along the way.

Living in Alaska has given Beans the unique opportunity to investigate Alaskan cryptids and mysteries such as the abandoned town Portlock, in Port Chatham, Alaska. Beans has participated in expeditions to other Bigfoot hotspots around the country and has appeared in multiple documentaries and television shows. Beans currently hosts the podcast Alasquatch and has written the first non-fiction book on the subject of Port Chatham: Abandoned the History and Horror of Port Chatham, Alaska. You can find him at his website www.alasquatchpodcast.com   Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature that has been a part of North American folklore for centuries. In Alaska, sightings of this elusive creature have contributed to the state's rich tapestry of mysterious stories. Often described as a large, ape-like being covered in dark hair, Bigfoot is said to inhabit the dense forests, remote mountain ranges, and vast wilderness areas of Alaska. The state's rugged terrain, with its dense woods, snow-covered peaks, and expansive swamps, makes it an ideal setting for such a cryptid to remain hidden from human eyes. Many locals and visitors claim to have seen large footprints, heard eerie howls, or found strange hair samples that they believe belong to Bigfoot. Native Alaskan tribes, including the Tlingit and the Athabaskan, have long had their own versions of the creature in their oral traditions, describing forest-dwelling beings that are often seen as spiritual or supernatural entities. The legend of Bigfoot continues to thrive in Alaska, where it is part of a larger fascination with the unexplained and the wild frontier. Whether myth or reality, the idea of Bigfoot adds to the allure and mystery of Alaska's untamed wilderness. The presence of Bigfoot in Alaskan folklore is not a new phenomenon. Indigenous groups, such as the Tlingit, Athabaskan, and Haida peoples, have long had their own traditions of wild, forest-dwelling beings that bear similarities to the modern-day Bigfoot legend. These creatures are often viewed not just as physical beings but also as spiritual entities with deep ties to the natural world. The region’s isolation and vast expanses of wilderness contribute to the mystery surrounding these sightings, as the wilderness remains largely unexplored. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot in Alaska or anywhere else, the continuous reports of strange encounters keep the legend alive. Whether rooted in myth, misidentification, or a genuine unknown, Bigfoot remains a captivating part of Alaska's culture and its allure as a land of mystery and discovery.

They discuss how this celebration, held on October 31st, marked the end of the harvest season and was believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest. Joe highlights how the Celts lit bonfires and donned costumes to protect themselves from wandering spirits. Jenifer adds that as Christianity spread, the festival evolved into All Hallows' Eve, setting the stage for modern Halloween. They explore the significant impact of Irish immigrants in the 19th century, who brought the holiday to America and helped shape its contemporary form. Trick-or-treating emerges as a key topic, with Joe explaining how this custom evolved from ancient practices into a community-centered activity by the 1920s. Jenifer notes that Halloween became increasingly popular, transforming from a night of superstition into a festive celebration characterized by costumes, parties, and candy. Together, they emphasize how Halloween reflects a blend of ancient traditions and modern influences, ultimately becoming a beloved holiday that captivates people of all ages across the globe.

Nicolle shares her unique journey, recounting the details of her abductions, the emotions she felt. We'll explore her thoughts on why some people experience these phenomena while others do not, as well as the impact of her experiences on her life and worldview. Join us as we navigate the fascinating intersection of personal testimony and the broader questions surrounding alien encounters, perception, and reality. Don’t miss this captivating conversation! Nicolle Lynn is a lifelong, fully conscious alien abductee, and she is just beginning to share her intriguing story of alien contact with the public. Her experiences are wide-ranging, complex, and beyond bizarre, involving encounters that challenge the very fabric of our understanding of reality from vivid memories of otherworldly beings to the surreal encounters. "Nicolle’s narrative weaves together moments of fear, wonder, and profound insight. As she navigates the emotional landscape of her experiences, she feels a growing sense of responsibility to share her truth with others. Nicolle's excitement is palpable as she prepares to unveil her shocking true story, hoping to spark curiosity and open minds to the possibilities of life beyond our planet. With each revelation, she aims to encourage dialogue about the nature of alien encounters, the implications for humanity, and the mysteries of consciousness itself. Nicolle believes that her experiences could resonate with others who have faced similar phenomena, fostering a sense of community among those who feel misunderstood. As she embarks on this journey of sharing, Nicolle Lynn is determined to shed light on a subject often shrouded in skepticism, inviting the world to explore the unknown alongside her. The claim that 1.5 million people are abducted by aliens is a sensational assertion often cited in discussions about UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. While anecdotal reports and some surveys suggest a significant number of individuals believe they have experienced alien abductions, the scientific community remains skeptical. These figures typically arise from extrapolating responses from small sample sizes, lacking rigorous validation. Many alleged abduction stories can often be explained by psychological phenomena, sleep paralysis, or cultural influences. Despite the fascination surrounding this topic, concrete evidence supporting widespread alien abductions remains elusive, relegating such claims to the realm of folklore and speculation.    Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

Elliot poem, The Waste Land. The poem was inspired by the real-life experience of Ernest Shackleton — an Irish explorer who went on a near-death expedition in Antarctica in 1916. After their ship got trapped in ice, he and two other members of his crew made a 36-hour long trek across the Arctic, over mountains and glaciers, to a whaling station. During that time, several members of his three-man team — Ernest included — kept feeling like there was a fourth man alongside them. T.S. Elliot wrote this stanza inspired by that phenomenon: What is the cause of the third man syndrome? No one really knows what causes third man syndrome. Many people claim it is a hallucination or coping mechanism triggered by extreme stress while others believe it is help given by a guardian angel. What is an example of the third man phenomenon? Examples in the book The Third Man Factor by John Geiger include a solo sailor who believed an unseen companion steered his ship through a storm, a woman in a collapsed building who reported a monk gave her an apple, a solo mountaineer who believed he was roped to someone else and thus descended a peak cautiously. What is the third man syndrome in Christianity? There is a phenomenon that many people who found themselves in survival situations have experienced. The phenomenon? It's something referred to as the "third man factor", where a person finds that even though they are physically alone, they feel a presence by their side. A new study reveals that these sorts of hallucinations -- sometimes called ``third man syndrome'' -- are more mysterious than scientists previously thought, since the visions cannot be fully explained as a side effect of altitude sickness or the brain swelling that frequently accompanies it. What is the third man syndrome in car accidents? ``Third Man Syndrome'' is the phenomenon in which people hear, see, or feel the presence of an additional person who isn't actually there comforting, supporting, or saving their lives during emergency situations.   Stories of the internet. When my husband was in his 20s, he fell asleep while driving and crashed into a telephone pole. He was hurt and remembered a teenage kid knocking on his window and telling him he called the police and not to get out of the car because there were live wires everywhere. When my husband was finally rescued, there was no sign of the kid. The police said that no one had called them — they just came because the power was out. Not only that, but they said there was no way anyone could have gotten close to the car on account of the wires, and if my husband had tried to get out of the car, they probably would have probably killed him. My husband so vividly remembers the kid, he believes he was real, but his mom believes it was his guardian angel." —Anonymous "I was dancing with my friend at a foam party, which is where they hang a machine from the ceiling that dumps TONS of bubbles onto the dance floor. The foam was super deep under the machine and the floor was super slippery because of the soapy bubbles. My friend slipped into the foam and I fell down to the floor, under the bubbles with her. When I tried to breathe, it was like I was drowning — the foam filled my lungs like water. I couldn’t open my eyes, my feet and hands kept slipping so I couldn’t stand up, and no one could hear us choking and screaming over the music. I was slipping all over on the floor holding onto my friend's shirt. Just as I thought we were going to drown in the bubbles, someone pulled us up. It was as though we'd been lifted or pushed, because there was no way anyone could have grabbed me by the arm. I was way too slippery — Heather and I couldn’t even hold hands, our skin was so slick. I was lucky just to hang onto her shirt." "We came out of the bubbles, choking and gasping, covered in soap, clinging on to each other. When I wiped my eyes clear, there was no one there except the other people dancing around us. They were all oblivious to us, though — they didn’t even know we had fallen and no one had seen anyone pull us out nor did anyone ask us if we were OK! Needless to say, I never went to a foam party again." —Anonymous   Discover the world of the supernatural with the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your ultimate source for spine-chilling tales and expert insights into the unknown.

As a passionate explorer of the unknown, Nick’s journey began with a deep fascination with the supernatural, fueled by a series of unexplained events in his own life. His path led him to become an avid researcher and investigator of paranormal phenomena. Initially, Nick approached the paranormal with a mix of skepticism and excitement. He began by immersing himself in literature about ghost sightings, hauntings, and other supernatural occurrences. His early investigations were marked by a methodical approach—using tools like EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recorders, infrared cameras, and motion sensors to document evidence. Nick's journey took a significant turn when he participated in several high-profile investigations of allegedly haunted locations. These experiences ranged from eerie and unsettling to downright chilling. In one notable case, he explored an old, abandoned asylum reputed to be haunted by the spirits of former patients. His team captured strange noises, shadowy figures, and even unexplained temperature drops, which they documented meticulously. Throughout his journey, Nick developed a reputation for his thoughtful and scientific approach to the paranormal. He often collaborated with other researchers and historians to gather background information on the sites he investigated, aiming to separate genuine phenomena from mere coincidence or trickery. His commitment to debunking false claims while remaining open to the possibility of the supernatural earned him respect in the paranormal community. Despite the occasional skepticism from outsiders, Nick remained dedicated to his pursuit. His investigations often revealed not just spectral entities but also deeper insights into the human experience and the power of belief. Over time, his experiences led him to write articles, give lectures, and even host a podcast where he shared his findings and discussed the broader implications of paranormal research.   Nick Mulae’s journey is marked by a blend of scientific rigor and open-minded curiosity. His story reflects a quest to understand the mysteries that lie beyond the veil of everyday experience, driven by a desire to uncover truths that challenge our perceptions of reality.   Discover the world of the supernatural with the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your ultimate source for spine-chilling tales and expert insights into the unknown.

Marie, MI for the 14th time. Between August 22 and 24, 2024 in Sault Ste. Marie’s Kewadin Casino’s DreamMakers Theater, experts and television stars will be on hand to cover such topics as paranormal investigating, psychic powers, demonology, and UFOlogy. Come see the biggest names speak on today’s hottest topic, the paranormal! Brian J. Cano TV personality, paranormal researcher, curator, lecturer, author. Brian is a featured analyst for Travel Channel's Paranormal Caught on Camera (2019 - Current) and Doomsday Caught on Camera (2020), a guest on History Channel's The Curse Of Oak Island (2019) and The UnXplained (2020), and well known as tech Specialist for SyFy's Haunted Collector team (2011-2013). His interactive History of the Paranormal Exhibit, introduced in 2018, was taken mobile in 2020 with successful showings at eight historical locations (NJ, PA, NY, CT, MA, VT, RI, OH) thus far. In February of 2022, his first book, "Grains of Sand:Tales of a Paranormal Life" was published through Roswell Press.     From Wikipedia, Sault Ste. Marie is a city in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Chippewa County and is the only city within the county. With a population of 13,337 at the 2020 census, it is the second-most populated city in the Upper Peninsula, behind Marquette. It is the primary city of the Sault Ste. Marie, MI Micropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses all of Chippewa County and had a population of 36,785 at the 2020 census. Sault Ste. Marie was settled by mostly French colonists in 1668, making it the oldest city in Michigan. Sault Ste. Marie is located along the St. Marys River, which flows from Lake Superior to Lake Huron and forms part of the United States–Canada border. Across the river is the larger Ontario town of the same name; the two cities are connected by the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge. Between the two cities are the Soo Locks, a set of locks allowing ship travel between Lake Superior and the Lower Great Lakes. For centuries, Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ (Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda), or Sioux, people lived in the area. Around the 1300s, the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) began to move in from the East Coast, gradually pushing the Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ westward. They called the area Baawitigong ("at the cascading rapids"), after the rapids of St. Marys River. French colonists renamed the region Saulteaux ("rapids" in French). The Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ came to call the Anishinaabe "Ḣaḣaṭuƞwaƞ", or "Dwellers of the Falls." In 1668, French missionaries Claude Dablon and Jacques Marquette founded a Jesuit mission at this site. Sault Ste. Marie developed as one of oldest European cities in the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains, and the oldest permanent European settlement in Michigan.

The phenomenon is called Apport.   In parapsychology and Spiritualism, an apport is the alleged paranormal transference of an article from one place to another, or an appearance of an article from an unknown source that is often associated with poltergeist activity or séances. Apports reported during séances have been found to be the result of deliberate fraud.  No medium or psychic has demonstrated the manifestation of an apport under scientifically controlled conditions. History A famous apport fraud is attributed to Charles Bailey (1870–1947). During a séance, Bailey produced two live birds seemingly out of thin air, but was undone when the dealer who sold him the birds appeared in the crowd. Common objects that are produced are stones, flowers, perfumes, and animals. These objects are said to be "gifts" from the spirit(s). In March 1902 in Berlin, police officers interrupted a séance of the apport medium Frau Anna Rothe. Her hands were grabbed and she was wrestled to the ground. A female police assistant physically examined Rothe and discovered 157 flowers as well as oranges and lemons hidden in her petticoat. She was arrested and charged with fraud.[4] After a trial lasting six days she was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment. In 1926, Heinrich Melzer was exposed as a fraud as he was caught in the séance room with small stones attached to the back of his ears by flesh coloured tape. According to neurologist Terence Hines "Some female mediums went so far as to conceal in their vagina or anus objects to be 'apported' during the seance and gauzy fabric that would become 'ectoplasm' during the seance. These were places that Victorian gentlemen, no matter how skeptical, were highly unlikely to ask to search." There are many cases where apports have been smuggled into the séance room. Other apport mediums that were exposed as frauds were Lajos Pap and Maria Silbert.[ Victims of such incidents think they merely forgot where they had placed the objects, and dismiss these experiences from their minds. But sometimes, what is lost is something of value and never appears again. Such is the case of a man who lives alone in the same condo where I hold office. He told me that $100 to $500 disappear from his wallet every now and then. Since he lives alone, the money could not have been stolen from him, this is probably the work of elementals, which are often mischievous or naughty and make life miserable for some people. Elementals are also called “nature spirits.” They correspond to the four elements of matter identified by the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles (495-435 BC) and later by the 15th-century Swiss physician, alchemist and astrologer Paracelsus (1493-1541). He classified these invisible creatures or nature spirits into four categories: gnomes (earth), undines (water), sylphs (air) and salamanders (fire). They help preserve the balance of nature. Most elementals, however, are harmless and should not be feared, but their presence can be annoying because they are capable of doing mischief, like hiding or making personal objects disappear. Most of the time, however, they return such objects, but in another place in the house or office. Two weeks ago, one heavy book I was reading disappeared from my desk at home and I could not find it. After three days, the book suddenly appeared under my bed in my library at home. It was found by my housekeeper when she cleaned the library. How it got there, nobody knew, of course. I was just thankful it was returned to me. The only thing I can suggest when such things happen to you is to try to talk to such creatures, even if you feel foolish for doing so, and plead to them to return your missing items. If you can find a clairvoyant or psychic who can see and talk to them, so much the better.

Most claims or fictional descriptions of poltergeists show them as being capable of pinching, biting, hitting, and tripping people. They are also depicted as capable of the movement or levitation of objects such as furniture and cutlery, or noises such as knocking on doors. Foul smells are also associated with poltergeist occurrences, as well as spontaneous fires and different electrical issues such as flickering lights. These manifestations have been recorded in many cultures and countries, including Brazil, Australia, the United States, Japan and most European nations. The first recorded cases date back to the 1st century. Etymology The word poltergeist comes from the German language words poltern 'to make sound, to rumble' and Geist 'ghost, spirit' and the term itself translates as 'noisy ghost', 'rumble-ghost' or a 'loud spirit'. A synonym coined by René Sudre is thorybism, from the Ancient Greek θορυβείν (thorubeín) 'to make noise or uproar, to throw into confusion'. A POLTERGEIST that reportedly terrorised a Humpty Doo home for four months in 1998 is considered one of the most significant supernatural occupations of its kind, according to a new book by men who spent time in the house. “It doesn’t take long for most reasonable people to believe there is a genuine effect, a genuine phenomenon, the disagreement comes over what causes it, a departed spirit, a demonic other or mind of matter ...” the Humpty Doo poltergeist experience started in about January 1998 and went on for about four months. ghost in Darwin’s rural area was known for hurling stones, batteries, spanners, shards of broken glass and even knives at the housemates who resided at 90 McMinns Drive. two Catholic priests and one Greek Orthodox priest tried to exorcise it, but it just seemed to aggravate it. One priest reported a crucifix flying across a room.   A bullet from nowhere. The weirdest incident of all was when was a slow steady rain of tiny gravel stones fell on my head one morning as I sat alone at the same table. They seemed to drop slowly from the ceiling right above me. Plink, plink, plink. The stones weren’t tossed from outside the room. If the TV people were right and the whole situation was a setup, then why continue the ‘show’ just for Tony and I over the last few days before everyone left the house? We weren’t reporters, and there was no money or publicity involved, yet the activity continued for the whole time we were there. At least thirty-seven incidents according to my notes. Tricky stuff too, like the shower of gravel I saw in the kitchen and the slow drizzle of stones on my noggin. Another intriguing aspect to the Humpty haunting was the fact that the TV crew had engaged a thermal camera operator, Brendan Gowdie, to join them in the house. The plan was that Gowdie would use his camera to identify evidence of human contact on the objects being thrown about. As an example of how that works, I’ve used my own FLIR One thermal camera to show how handprints can be identified on an object. The thermal image below shows a small knife on my kitchen bench.

Arnold, researcher of the giant in Aruba, author of "The Islands of the Giants: The Lost Race of Giants of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao. joins us to give new updates on her findings and to talk about the research she did of the Rapa Nui, the giants of easter Island and the amazing journey to the Isla de Pascua.  Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui) is an island and special territory of Chile in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. The island is most famous for its nearly 1,000 extant monumental statues, called moai, which were created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park. Experts disagree on when the island's Polynesian inhabitants first reached the island. While many in the research community cited evidence that they arrived around the year 800, a 2007 study found compelling evidence that they arrived closer to 1200. The inhabitants created a thriving and industrious culture, as evidenced by the island's numerous enormous stone moai and other artifacts. But land clearing for cultivation and the introduction of the Polynesian rat led to gradual deforestation. By the time of European arrival in 1722, the island's population was estimated to be 2,000 to 3,000. European diseases, Peruvian slave raiding expeditions in the 1860s, and emigration to other islands such as Tahiti further depleted the population, reducing it to a low of 111 native inhabitants in 1877. Chile annexed Easter Island in 1888. In 1966, the Rapa Nui were granted Chilean citizenship. In 2007 the island gained the constitutional status of "special territory" (Spanish: territorio especial). Administratively, it belongs to the Valparaíso Region, constituting a single commune (Isla de Pascua) of the Province of Isla de Pascua. The 2017 Chilean census registered 7,750 people on the island, of whom 3,512 (45%) considered themselves Rapa Nui. Easter Island is one of the world's remotest inhabited islands.[8] The nearest inhabited land (around 50 residents in 2013) is Pitcairn Island, 2,075 kilometres (1,289 mi) away; the nearest town with a population over 500 is Rikitea, on the island of Mangareva, 2,606 km (1,619 mi) away; the nearest continental point lies in central Chile, 3,512 km (2,182 mi) away. Etymology   The name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday (5 April), 1722, while searching for "Davis Land".[10] Roggeveen named it Paasch-Eyland (18th-century Dutch for "Easter Island"). The island's official Spanish name, Isla de Pascua, also means "Easter Island". The current Polynesian name of the island, Rapa Nui ("Big Rapa"), was coined after the slave raids of the early 1860s, and refers to the island's topographic resemblance to the island of Rapa in the Bass Islands of the Austral Islands group. Norwegian ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl argued that Rapa was Easter Island's original name and that the Bass Islands' Rapa (Rapa Iti) was named by refugees from it. The phrase Te pito o te henua has been said to be the island's original name since French ethnologist Alphonse Pinart gave it the romantic translation "the Navel of the World" in his Voyage à l'Île de Pâques, published in 1877.[15] William Churchill (1912) inquired about the phrase and was told that there were three te pito o te henua, these being the three capes (land's ends) of the island. The phrase appears to have been used in the same sense as the designation "Land's End" at the tip of Cornwall. He was unable to elicit a Polynesian name for the island and concluded that there may not have been one.

Click her to go to Aaron Sagers Website Click here for the article we based this show on.   Myths are stories that are based on tradition. Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures. Myths are sacred tales that explain the world and man's experience.   What is the purpose of a myth? People created myths thousands of years ago to tell how the world and things in it came to be. Myths also help to explain how people act or why things exist. What is a myth that explains something? An origin myth is something that cultures use to explain natural or social events in mythological terms. An example of this is the creation of the world through the tearing apart of a giant. What is classified as a myth?  A usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon. What does a myth contain? While all myths are different, myths as such attempt to explain everyday phenomena. They typically involve gods or deities with supernatural powers, may or may not contain a hero or someone on a quest, and were passed down through oral tradition. Is a myth a lie or truth? The Oxford English Dictionary defines myth as a synonym for "untruth", "falsehood", or "lie". But the word has a long history and an equally long range of meanings.   Aaron Sagers ... is a Storyteller.

Sixty-two pupils at the Ariel School aged between six and twelve said that they saw one or more silver craft descend from the sky and land on a field near their school. Some of the children claimed that one or more creatures dressed all in black then approached and telepathically communicated to them a message with an environmental theme, frightening them and causing them to cry. The Fortean writer Jerome Clark has called the incident the “most remarkable close encounter of the third kind of the 1990s”. Some skeptics have described the incident as one of mass hysteria. Not all the children at the school that day stated that they saw something. Several of those that did maintain that their account of the incident is true.   Background Ruwa is a small agricultural center located 22 kilometers (14 mi) south-east of the capital Harare. At the time of the incident, it was not a town but only a local place-name, "little more than a crossroads in an agricultural region". Ariel School was an expensive private school. Most of the pupils were from wealthy white families in Harare. Two days prior to the incident at Ariel there had been a number of UFO sightings throughout southern Africa. There had been numerous reports of a bright fireball passing through the sky at night. Many people answered ZBC Radio's request to call in and describe what they had seen. Although some witnesses interpreted the fireball as a comet or meteor, it resulted in a wave of UFO mania in Zimbabwe at the time. According to skeptic Brian Dunning, the fireball "had been the re-entry of the Zenit-2 rocket from the Cosmos 2290 satellite launch. The booster broke up into burning streaks as it moved silently across the sky, giving an impressive light show to millions of Africans. “Local UFO researcher Cynthia Hind recorded other alien sightings at this time, including a daylight sighting by a young boy and his mother and a report of alien beings on a road by a trucker.   Incident The sightings at Ariel occurred at 10am on 16 September 1994, when pupils were outside on mid-morning break. The adult faculty at the school were inside having a meeting at the time. The entire incident lasted about fifteen minutes. When the children returned to class, they told the teachers what they had seen but were dismissed. When they returned home, they told their parents. Many of those parents came to the school the next day to discuss what had happened with the faculty.[8] The sighting was reported on ZBC Radio, from where Cynthia Hind learned about it. The BBC's correspondent in Zimbabwe, Tim Leach, visited the school on 19 September to film interviews with pupils and staff. After investigating this incident, Leach stated "I could handle war zones, but I could not handle this". Hind visited the school on 20 September 1994. She interviewed some of the children and asked them to draw pictures of what they had seen. She reported that the children all told her the same story. That November, Harvard University professor of psychiatry and Pulitzer Prize winning author John Mack visited the Ariel school to interview witnesses. Throughout the 1990s Mack had investigated UFO sightings and the alien abduction phenomenon. According to the interviews of Hind, Leach and Mack, 62 children between the ages of six and twelve said that they had seen at least one UFO. One or more silver objects, usually described as discs, appeared in the sky. They then floated down to a field of brush and small trees just outside school property. Between one and four creatures with big eyes and dressed all in black, exited a craft and approached the children. At this point many of the children ran but some, mostly older pupils, stayed and watched the approach. According to Mack's interviews the creature or creatures then telepathically communicated to the children an environmental message, before returning to the craft and flying away. According to Dunning, this telepathic message aspect of the story was not included in Hind or Leach's reports, only Mack's, although Hind reported it later. In Mack's interviews one fifth-grader tells how he was warned "about something that's going to happen," and that "pollution mustn't be". An eleven-year-old girl told Mack "I think they want people to know that we're actually making harm on this world and we mustn’t get too technologic." One child said that he was told that the world would end because they are not taking care of the planet. The children were adamant that they had not seen a plane. Hind noted that the different cultural background of the children gave rise to different interpretations of what they had seen and they did not all believe that they had seen extraterrestrials. She noted that some of the children thought the short little beings were tikoloshes, creatures of Shona and Ndebele folklore.

Music by Dead in 5, Second Season.     Ohio State Reformitory The Ohio State Reformatory was designed by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield. Scofield designed the striking limestone building to be an uplifting, inspiring, and intimidating structure. The Reformatory was originally called the “Intermediate Penitentiary” since it accepted inmates who were too old for juvenile corrections but had committed offenses more minor than those that sent others to the Ohio State Penitentiary. The facility admitted its first inmates in 1896 after ten years of construction. The goal of the institution was truly to “reform” and rehabilitate its inmates, who received three things during their time at OSR: religion, education, and a trade. Inmates were admitted for 18 months, and if they showed progress, they could be released after that time. If not, they received another 18 months.  The model was successful and OSR had a high success rate and a low recidivism rate. By the early 1960s, however, the state pulled its financial support from the Reform model and began converting OSR into a maximum security facility, a purpose for which it was never intended. By the 1980s, the conditions had deteriorated to the point where the inmates sued the state of Ohio. The lawsuit was successful, and construction began on a new modern facility nearby. The Reformatory was finally closed in 1990. It sat empty for several years until local activists rallied to purchase the building from the state (for $1) and committed to repairing and restoring this historic structure.   Stimson Hospital This structure was built in 1870 as a private home. Years later, it was acquired by a dentist, Dr. William Claudius Puffenberger. Sometime around 1917, Puffenberger sold the house to Harriet Chapman, who, along with co-owners Charles Stimson & Francis R. Blanchard (both doctors), turned it into a hospital in 1918. Only a few months after the hospital opened, Dr. Blanchard stepped into an open elevator door and fell to his death down the shaft. A few years later, on August 17, 1922, Dr. Puffenberger committed suicide at the age of 45 by shooting himself.     AuGlaize Village AuGlaize Village was founded in 1966 by the Defiance County Historical Society.  The society received 40 acres and the big red barn in 1966 from the Mansfield Family.  An additional 80 acres was later added.  In 1975, the Society decided it best to turn over the museum complex to the people of Defiance in hopes that the County Commissioners would be able to get grants and assistance that a small 501c3 would not be able to get on their own.  The Defiance County Historical Society operates the Auglaize Village through a Maintenance & Use Agreement for the Defiance County Commissioners. 55 plus years later, AuGlaize Village is still going strong drawing people from the tri-state area for its activities and festivals.  But our world has changed.  People are busier than ever and volunteers are hard to recruit.  The locally owned factories are a thing of the past in Defiance and so AuGlaize Village must change with the times. We are always looking for Tuesday volunteers and people willing to work in the office with the collection as well as Event Volunteers.  We are willing to train!  Please contact us if you are interested.

Horror entertainment can trigger the fight-or-flight response, which comes with a boost in adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine. The brain can then process surroundings and conclude that the experience is not a genuine threat. A fascination with the dark and macabre has deep roots in human psychology and culture. At a very simple level, being scared can trigger an adrenaline rush, which is a visceral, exciting experience — enjoyable for many people. Reading and writing horror also often serves as a form of emotional release, in which people can confront and process their own fears in a controlled and safe environment. In other words: we can experience danger from a safe distance. Through this experience, we also learn a little about ourselves: How do we react to fear? What does it feel like? How much can we take? Humans are naturally curious, so confronting the unknown and scary “what-ifs” through fiction is enticing. Not only are ghost stories entertaining, they can also help ​​children experience courage, learn about different cultures, and expand their sense of community. Sharing ghost stories can even help children grow braver as they face their fears in a safe setting reading a book or listening to a ghost story.   Why should you read horror even if it scares you? For some it is the thrill. For some it is the opportunity to be spooked out in the comfort of our own surroundings. For some, it even helps manage our own anxiety or personal situations. For whatever reason, reading horror books is different than reading any other genre. What is the purpose of a ghost story? It is a form of supernatural fiction and specifically of weird fiction, and is often a horror story. While ghost stories are often explicitly meant to scare, they have been written to serve all sorts of purposes, from comedy to morality tales.

As an island, England is the perfect location for some of these creatures to exist as they are separated from the rest of the world. It could be possible that these creatures are merely trapped on the island—hence the reason they never seem to leave.   Jenny Greenteeth Jenny Greenteeth, or Wicked Jenny to some, is a legendary river-hag from English folklore. She is said to look like an ugly old woman with sharp teeth, long hair, and distinctly green skin. This strange cryptid is believed to lurk in the upper levels of trees stalking unsuspecting travelers. But aside from her gruesome appearance, Jenny Greenteeth is so terrifying because she is known to pull unaware children or the elders into the murky waters and drown them when given the chance. Be sure to keep an eye on your children if hiking through the United Kingdom.   The Kelpie is a cryptid from rivers and lochs in Scotland and Ireland. In mythology, the kelpie is described as a strong and powerful horse. It is a white and sky blue colour and appeared as a lost pony, but could be identified by its constantly dripping mane. Its mane and tail are a bit curly. Its skin was said to be like that of a seal, smooth but as cold as death when touched. Kelpies were said to transform into beautiful women to lure men into their traps. They created illusions to keep themselves hidden, keeping only their eyes above water to scout the surface. The fable of the kelpie varies by region. The kelpie's mane is said to be a sky blue colour. The water horse is a common form of the kelpie, said to lure humans into the water to drown them. The water horse would encourage people to ride on its back, and once its victims fell into its trap, the water horse's skin would become adhesive and the horse would bear the victim into the river, dragging them to the bottom of the water and devouring them—except the heart or liver. A common Scottish tale is the story of nine children lured onto a kelpie's back, while a tenth kept his distance. The kelpie chased the tenth child, but he escaped. Another more gruesome and macabre variation on this tale is that the tenth child simply stroked the kelpie's nose but, when his hand stuck to it, he took a knife from his pocket and cut his own hand off, cauterizing it with wood from a nearby fire. Loch Ness monster, large marine creature believed by some people to inhabit Loch Ness, Scotland. However, much of the alleged evidence supporting its existence has been discredited, and it is widely thought that the monster is a myth.   Reports of a monster inhabiting Loch Ness date back to ancient times. Notably, local stone carvings by the Pict depict a mysterious beast with flippers. The first written account appears in a 7th-century biography of St. Columba. According to that work, in 565 ad the monster bit a swimmer and was prepared to attack another man when Columba intervened, ordering the beast to “go back.” It obeyed, and over the centuries only occasional sightings were reported. Many of these alleged encounters seemed inspired by Scottish folklore, which abounds with mythical water creatures.   Loch Ness, in the Highlands of Scotland. At the head of the loch is the monastery at Fort Augustus. In 1933 the Loch Ness monster’s legend began to grow. At the time, a road adjacent to Loch Ness was finished, offering an unobstructed view of the lake. In April a couple saw an enormous animal—which they compared to a “dragon or prehistoric monster”—and after it crossed their car’s path, it disappeared into the water. The incident was reported in a Scottish newspaper, and numerous sightings followed. In December 1933 the Daily Mail commissioned Marmaduke Wetherell, a big-game hunter, to locate the sea serpent. Along the lake’s shores, he found large footprints that he believed belonged to “a very powerful soft-footed animal about 20 feet [6 metres] long.” However, upon closer inspection, zoologists at the Natural History Museum determined that the tracks were identical and made with an umbrella stand or ashtray that had a hippopotamus leg as a base; Wetherell’s role in the hoax was unclear. The news only seemed to spur efforts to prove the monster’s existence. In 1934 English physician Robert Kenneth Wilson photographed the alleged creature. The iconic image—known as the “surgeon’s photograph”—appeared to show the monster’s small head and neck. The Daily Mail printed the photograph, sparking an international sensation. Many speculated that the creature was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that went extinct some 65.5 million years ago. The Loch Ness area attracted numerous monster hunters. Over the years, several sonar explorations (notably in 1987 and 2003) were undertaken to locate the creature, but none were successful. In addition, numerous photographs allegedly showed the beast, but most were discredited as fakes or as depicting other animals or objects. Notably, in 1994 it was revealed that Wilson’s photograph was a hoax spearheaded by a revenge-seeking Wetherell; the “monster” was actually a plastic-and-wooden head attached to a toy submarine. In 2018 researchers conducted a DNA survey of Loch Ness to determine what organisms live in the waters. No signs of a plesiosaur or other such large animal were found, though the results indicated the presence of numerous eels. This finding left open the possibility that the monster is an oversized eel. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, the Loch Ness monster remained popular—and profitable. In the early 21st century it was thought that it contributed nearly $80 million annually to Scotland’s economy.

One of the chief proponents of the theory of a coven was the English Egyptologist Margaret Murray in her work The Witch Cult in Western Europe (1921). According to her a coven consists of 12 witches and a devil as leader. The number is generally taken as a parody of Christ and his 12 disciples. (An alternate theory, stressing the Murray view of a pre-Christian tradition of witches, explains 13 as the maximum number of dancers that can be accommodated in a nine-foot circle.) Each member of a coven is said to specialize in a particular branch of magic, such as bewitching agricultural produce, producing sickness or death in humans, storm raising, or seduction. The actuality of covens was also accepted by Montague Summers, a well-known Roman Catholic writer on witchcraft in the 1920s and 1930s, and more recently by Pennethorne Hughes in his Witchcraft (1952, 1965). Many students of witchcraft, however, dismiss the Murray theory of covens as unfounded and based on insufficient evidence. Nonetheless, 20th-century witchcraft groups continue to use the term coven, and reports of coven activity in the United States and Europe are not uncommon.   What is ESP? Extrasensory perception (ESP) is an unproven paranormal phenomenon in which people allegedly receive information about, or exert control over, their environment in ways that don't use the five senses. Also known as "the sixth sense" or "psi," ESP refers to a wide range of purported abilities, including telepathy (mind reading), psychokinesis (moving objects without physical contact) and precognition (predicting the future). ESP violates our understanding of basic scientific principles. Still, estimates suggest that around two-thirds of people in the United States believe in its existence, according to a 2019 study published in Europe's Journal of Psychology. Even in academia, ESP has inspired serious scientific debate. While some psychologists argue that the subject deserves consideration, skeptics point out that the evidence is weak at best, and fraudulent at worst. History of ESP Fascination with ESP is rooted in the spiritualist movement of 19th-century Britain and the United States, according to the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Members of the fashionable elite would hold séances, in which mediums would attempt to communicate with spirits. By the end of the 19th century, scientists and other thinkers were joining research societies devoted to studying not only communication with spirits, but a whole host of so-called "psychic" phenomena, including telepathy and hypnosis (which, unlike telepathy and séances, is now backed by science). In 1882, the Society for Psychical Research emerged in London, and in 1885, people founded a corresponding society in the United States. (Both still exist today.)

In a field east of Cleveland, the ghost of a missing farmhand returned to expose his murder. The violin music of a Cincinnati-area abolitionist continues to linger at a small burial ground in the hills west of the city, and a grave in Central Ohio is haunted by the spirit of a young girl with an ancestral connection to a dark chapter of America's past.   E.R. Cutright, founder of Columbus Ghost Tours in Columbus, explores the sundry Ohio cemeteries and graveyards where the dead demand their stories be told.   5 haunted places in Columbus The Thurber House James Thurber, the former home owner, is said to be lurking the halls. The famed author and cartoonist reportedly throws books off the shelves and roams around at night. Perhaps the home is to blame — Thurber described his own paranormal experiences while living there. The Ohio State University There are plenty of ghostly visits, but we’re highlighting The Hopkins Handprint. The story is of a young student who had a breakdown after becoming trapped in an elevator for an entire night. After being discovered, the elevator had been covered in scribbles and hand prints. Now, as a spirit fueled by spite, she sometimes leaves her handprint on the side of the building. Walhalla Road There’s no evidence that the Mooney Mansion resided here, but local lore claims a doctor went mad and attacked his family. Now, the blue light that once shined from the mansion’s attic can sometimes be seen at night — symbolic of Dr. Mooney’s eerie presence. Elevator Brewing and Draught Haus Col. Randolph Pritchard, an alleged abuser in the 1900s, was stabbed by one of his victims on a snowy night. Some claim they’ve seen the two in present day, with Pritchard lurking inside + the woman occasionally leaving footprints in the snow around 10:05 p.m., the time of the stabbing. Underground Tunnels There’s something off-putting about abandoned projects, and that’s the case with these 100+ year old tunnels. These were built, in-large part, due to community outcry after a local man was hit by a car crossing High Street, resulting in him losing his leg.

Proponents say it works through the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to the client. What happens in a Reiki session? Practitioners will typically give Reiki treatment in a peaceful, private setting. However, the treatment can take place anywhere. During a session, the client will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed. The practitioner will then place their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the client’s head, limbs, and torso. They will typically keep their hands in these positions for 3–10 minutes. If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the practitioner will hold their hands just above the wound. Advocates state that while the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, an energy transfer takes place. During this time, the practitioner may report that their hands feel warm or are tingling. They will hold each hand position until they sense that the energy has stopped flowing. When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has gone, they will remove their hands and place them over a different body area.

Matt Slys is a DJ for WOBL/WDLW-Host of The Magical Mystery Hour. Also an Investigator with 111 Paranormal. Today’s Ohio State Reformatory The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society is a non-profit overseen by a volunteer Board and every donation goes directly to the maintenance and restoration of the building. The Reformatory houses the official Ohio State Corrections History Museum, is a popular site for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts, hosts numerous special events, and as of 2018 welcomes more than 120,000 visitors per year. The building’s striking architecture is a favorite choice for filmmakers. A number of films and music videos have been made at OSR over the years, with The Shawshank Redemption as the best known and most widely loved. Other films include: Harry and Walter Go to New York, Tango and Cash, Air Force One, Escape Plan: The Extractors and Judas and the Black Messiah.   Design and Construction The Ohio State Reformatory was designed by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield. Scofield designed the striking limestone building to be an uplifting, inspiring, and intimidating structure. The Reformatory was originally called the “Intermediate Penitentiary” since it accepted inmates who were too old for juvenile corrections but had committed offenses more minor than those that sent others to the Ohio State Penitentiary. The facility admitted its first inmates in 1896 after ten years of construction.   Reformation and Rehabilitation The goal of the institution was truly to “reform” and rehabilitate its inmates, who received three things during their time at OSR: religion, education, and a trade. Inmates were admitted for 18 months, and if they showed progress, they could be released after that time. If not, they received another 18 months.  The model was successful and OSR had a high success rate and a low recidivism rate.

Click here to see Joe’s book.   Since the beginning of recorded time, man has claimed to be able to communicate with the spirit world. However, it would not be until the heyday of the Spiritualist movement that he would begin claiming to do so as an everyday occurrence. That particular movement was founded by two young girls, Kate and Maggie Fox, who established a way to communicate with a ghost. They used a series of knocks and raps that answered “yes” and “no” and eventually assigned a code for letters of the alphabet. In this way, they were able to spell out longer and more detailed messages.   As Spiritualism grew in popularity, those with an interest began to establish what were called “home circles”, small groups of friends and family members who would gather around and attempt to communicate with spirits. They experimented with the knocking and rapping sounds and later with Table Tilting, which was accessible to everyone and no professional mediums were needed. The knockings and rappings of the early movement continued to spread in other directions as ordinary people began experimenting with their own skills as mediums. Soon, the tiresome and time-consuming method of knocking and tipping tables began to fall out of fashion and so mediums began a new form of contact called “automatic writing”. While practiced almost solely by spirit mediums, it still became very popular at séances as a direct line to the spirit world.   The open circle When Vince, now 30, was a child, one of his friends goaded him into playing with a Ouija board in his basement. Young Vince didn’t expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, so he went along with it. Once they started to play, however, the lights began to flicker, the air around them grew cold, and a spirit began to communicate with them through the board. The spirit spelled out a Russian name and claimed he had been murdered.   “We took a break to make some pizza rolls,” Vince says, “but we forgot to close the circle when we were done.” (If you’re new to Ouija board stories, that’s a giant no-no!) “After returning to the basement, the energy was much heavier, and books and things were sprawled out on the floor.” And yet, the board remained perfectly still in the center of the room, just how they had left it. “Upon looking at a mirror that we had nearby, the eye of the Ouija board was moving sporadically in its reflection.”   Solo play Most people play with a Ouija board in groups, or at least with one other person. But Ossiana wanted to try to use it on her own. She put her hands on the pointer and asked questions, but nothing happened. She took her hands off of the pointer and was about to put the game away when the planchette began to move around on its own. “I’ll never try that again,” says the 30-year-old from New Jersey. In 1933, Dorothea Turley and her 15 year-old daughter, Mattie, were convicted of the murder their husband and father. On the witness stand, Mattie stated how the Ouija board, which had been directed by her mother, had told her that it was all right to kill her father so that her mother could marry "cowboy". Mattie later killed him with a shotgun. The jury determined that the crime had more to do with insurance money and Dorothea's lover than a Ouija board and Dorothea went to prison and Mattie for reform school, where she stayed until she was 21. Her mother was released on an appeal three years after the original trial.

The wormhole theory postulates that a theoretical passage through space-time could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. Wormholes are predicted by the theory of general relativity. But be wary: wormholes bring with them the dangers of sudden collapse, high radiation and dangerous contact with exotic matter. We asked physicist Robert Kehoe, some frequently asked questions about wormholes. Robert Kehoe Professor, Department of Physics, Southern Methodist University Robert Kehoe is a physicist currently studying the nature of the accelerating expansion of the universe. He is a lead researcher on the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESO), which is creating a far-reaching map of our universe. His research has also included work in particle physics, including contributing to the discovery of the Higgs boson, a previously only theoretical subatomic particle that allows for things to have mass. Are wormholes theoretically possible? A wormhole is thought to be essentially a tunnel from one place in space to another. When you have a massive object in spacetime, it basically creates a curvature of the spacetime in the nearby region. As you get more and more mass, we expect that that curvature becomes more and more extreme. We think such objects occur in the universe, and they are what we call a black hole, where light cannot escape due to this extreme curvature of spacetime. We think what happens is, at some point, if the mass of an object becomes large enough, the other forces of nature besides gravity can’t support the matter, and it becomes a black hole. You could think about this as one side of a wormhole. Could you have a situation in which the curvature is extreme enough to connect up with something analogous on the other side somewhere else in spacetime? Theoretically, that could be true. Has a wormhole ever been found? No. We have a substantial amount of evidence for the existence of black holes.  But there's been no wormholes found.   Are there different types of wormholes?  There are different theoretical implementations of our theory of gravitation, called general relativity, that would describe wormholes with somewhat different properties. For instance, one of the big distinctions in the types of wormholes that are described are whether or not they are traversable — by that I mean, whether you can go from one end to another.   When was the wormhole theory created? Wormholes were first theorized in 1916, though that wasn't what they were called at the time. While reviewing another physicist's solution to the equations in Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, Austrian physicist Ludwig Flamm realized another solution was possible. He described a "white hole," a theoretical time reversal of a black hole. Entrances to both black and white holes could be connected by a space-time conduit. In 1935, Einstein and physicist Nathan Rosen used the theory of general relativity to elaborate on the idea, proposing the existence of "bridges" through space-time. These bridges connect two different points in space-time, theoretically creating a shortcut that could reduce travel time and distance. The shortcuts came to be called Einstein-Rosen bridges, or wormholes. "The whole thing is very hypothetical at this point," said Stephen Hsu, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oregon, told our sister site, LiveScience. "No one thinks we're going to find a wormhole anytime soon." Wormholes contain two mouths, with a throat connecting the two, according to an article published in the Journal of High Energy Physics (2020). The mouths would most likely be spheroidal. The throat might be a straight stretch, but it could also wind around, taking a longer path than a more conventional route might require. Einstein's theory of general relativity mathematically predicts the existence of wormholes, but none have been discovered to date. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by. Certain solutions of general relativity allow for the existence of wormholes where the mouth of each is a black hole. However, a naturally occurring black hole, formed by the collapse of a dying star, does not by itself create a wormhole.
