Back in 1892, 29-year-old Julia Thomas headed out into the heart of Arizona's Superstition Mountains in search of an apparently lost gold mine, after having its location disclosed to her by a dying man. Said to have been the richest mine in the world at the time it has since become known as The Lost Ducthman's Mine.

Some say it still lies out there, just waiting to be discovered...

Just like Miguel Jose Viana and Manual Pereira da Cruz, 32-year-old Granger Taylor, from Vancouver Island, Canada, also had extensive knowledge of electronics and a burning desire to visit another world.  

And just like Miguel and Manuel, his too is a tragic tale clouded in mystery.

In Brazil, in August 1966, two years into a military dictatorship, there was every reason to assume the bodies of two men, found dead on a hill outside the city of Niteroi, could well be victims of the country's cruel new reality.

Within minutes of surveying the apparent crime scene, however, it quickly became clear to police that something far more bizarre was going on.

It may seem far-fetched to believe that a vampire had been living at the site of London's Highgate Cemetery since the 18th century.

But did you know the so-called vampire plague said to have ravaged parts of eastern Europe in the 1730s was in one way or another, entirely real...

In the late 1960s, a large number of acts of vandalism perpetrated in English churchyards were thought to be linked to a resurgent interest in black magic. 

In Highgate Cemetery in North London especially, the evidence was becoming increasingly difficult to deny. 

Something dark and sinister, it seemed, was brewing...

Author Elliot O’Donnell wrote widely about all manner of apparent hauntings in Britain and the United States, but there was one story – or rather location, for which he had a particular soft spot.  

The place, a mid-terraced Georgian townhouse in London’s Berkeley Square is often referred to as quite simply the most haunted house in London...

In the English north western town of Runcorn in 1952, like most typical working families of the time left dealing with the economic aftershocks of the second world war, the Jones and Glynns of 1 Byron Street had little choice but to keep calm and carry on regardless.

Almost every culture it seems has a story of wild mythical creatures living out in the woods and mountains. 

Sometimes they break out from the myth, to be apparently captured on film, recorded on audio, and seen in real-life.

In July, 1924, a group of prospectors returned from a trip working their claim in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, with an incredible tale to tell having apparently come face to face with some kind of terrifying ape-like creatures...
