I'd considered putting this Washington (state) story in the "Low Strangeness Disappearances" thread, but the strangeness of the mother's actions argued against that. A mother parked her car at a gas station and left it. The car was towed away. The driver's daughter reported her severely...

I have just come across these strange cases and can find no thread about them, here is the story: "Keith Reinhard was a middle-aged journalist who is taking a break from his daily activities. He then visited a small town called Silver Plume. This man rents a place where the previous resident...

(By reference to an old thread which itself disappeared ... ) This happened, I'm told, to someone in my street, in the late 60s. She was a young mother of two little children and one morning her elder child, who was 3, was run over in the street, having wandered out through an open front door...

Reading about theatre history and yet again came across stories about Les Dawson seeing the ghost of Sid James, not long before his own death. And it's clear that whatever he saw, was absolutely terrifying. But I can't seem to find an account I thought I found a while back, that did actually...

Is it possible that Fred West or his equally nasty brother John, had something to do with the disappearance of Suzie Lamplugh? There is a theory that Fred and John West were procurers for a high-level Satanic group. Fred West was certainly scared when he made this comment to police during an...

Well guys, whaddya reckon?! :D

Here’s an old Worcestershire story about an alleged re-appearance (this is the short York-notes style version). Sir John Attwood, a 14th century knight, was captured during the Crusades and imprisoned. Back at home, his wife waited. And waited. And waited. One morning, shortly after she’d...

I sometimes wonder if these people who disappear into thin air are found later but we never hear of their re-emergence because why ruin a perfectly good yarn of spooky goings on or maybe the two stories are never married up. I base this sweeping assumption on reading in some paranormal book...
