• From ocean fireballs, to mythical apes
and ghosts that only show up on film,
• These are 20 photos so mysterious, so
impossible that it's often said they shouldn't
exist at all
20 - The Tadpole Monster
• 1964, Queensland Australia
• French photographer Robert Serrec along
with his family were vacationing off the coast
inside row boats when this large snake-like
creature appeared
• It was 6 feet below water, approximately
80 feet long with a giant wound in its back
• One person managed to snag this photo
before the creature swam off, never to be
seen again, still a mystery to this day
19 - The Modern Time Traveler
• 1941, the South Forks Bridge grand opening
in Canada
• This photograph supposedly contains a
time traveler seen in the dark shades
• His clothing, sunglasses and especially
the camera he carries are far beyond were
not available nor even invented back then
• A good deal of theorists claim this is
definitive proof that time travel is indeed
possible
18 - Naga Fireballs
• These fireballs, or Mekong Lights as the
locals call them, is a phenomenon with an
unconfirmed source said to be seen in Thailand's
Mekong river, but also said to appear in Isan
and Laos
• Basketball sized glowing balls shoot out
of the sea and into the air, vanishing after
a few hundred metres
• Theoriest suggest phosphine gas, but no
current science can accurately explain why
this photo is possible
17 - The Hampton Court Ghost
• 2003, Hampton Court Palace, London
• A fire alarm sounded, alerting guards
that a door had been opened
• The guards searched every door but they
were all sealed and bolted
• However, this disturbing image was found
via their CC security cameras, even though
the door remained sealed minutes later
• Nobody could explain how this was possible
16 - The Solway Firth Astronaut
• 1964, Burgh by Sands in Cumbria, England
• Jim Templeton was in a marsh taking photos
of his daughter, everything fine, but when
he developed said photos this spaceman appeared
in the background
• According to Templeton, there was nothing
behind her at the time, a clear day, and Kodak
verified the photo had not been tampered with
15 - Babushka Lady
• 1963, Dallas, Texas, the Assassination
of John F. Kennedy
• A mysterious old woman with a brown overcoat
and scarf appears in a huge number of photos
during the assassination
• It's highly speculated she was taking
photos at the time, and despite the FBI publicly
requesting for her to come forward, she never
did
• Nobody ever heard from her again
14 - Battle of Los Angeles
• 1942, three months after the start of
World War II
• On the evening of the 24th of February,
an aerial barrage assaulted the sky over LA
with no planes in sight
• The official word was: soldiers had gotten
trigger happy when a weather balloon passed
over LA, but UFO conspiracists have speculated
it was a coverup for extraterrestrial spacecrafts,
a common belief at the time
• This is one of the only known photos of
the mysterious battle
13 - The S.S. Watertown Ghosts
• 1924, an oil tanker sailing toward the
Panama Canal
• James Courtney and Michael Meehan were
aboard at the time, and accidentally killed
by gas fumes
• They were then buried at sea, but those
still aboard the S.S. Watertown noticed something
peculiar following the ship
• Two ghostly faces, floating along the
ocean, silent and staring, the ship's captain
took one snapshot of this phenomenon, and
you're looking at it now
• It couldn't be explained
12 - Freddy Jackson's Ghost
• 1919, a photo of Sir Victor Goddard's
squadron, men who had served in World War
1 aboard the HMS Daedalus
• This ghostly face was said to belong to
that of Freddy Jackson, an air mechanic accidentally
killed two days prior by an airplane propellor
• All the men in this photo confirmed it
was Jackson's face, as his funeral was being
held that day
11 - The Falling Body
• The story is simply and fairly obvious
• The Cooper family moved into their new
home in Texas, a photograph is taken and when
it's developed, a body appears from the ceiling
• There isn't much context here, it could
be real, it could be fake, but there's no
way to know for sure
10 - The McMinnville UFO
• 1950, McMinnville, Oregon, super famous
photo, thought to be the "original" UFO
• The reason this one was so famous? It
was picked up by LIFE magazine and went on
to get featured in hundreds of newspapers
across the country, mind you this is only
12 years after the infamous "war of the worlds"
broadcast and fear of the unknown was fresh
in pop culture
• To this day the flying saucer blob on
the photo remains controversial - what could
it possibly be?
9 - Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
• 1936, photographers from Country Life
magazine took this snapshot in Raynham Hall,
Norfolk
• The story went in 1835, a houseguest in
the Hall noticed a phantom in a brown dress,
eyes gouged out, wandering the halls
• To this day nobody can explain what this
white image in the photo could be, though
skeptics argue it lacks a good deal of authenticity
8 - Hessdalen Light
• These mysterious lights over Hessdalen
valley have been reported multiple times for
the last 80 years
• But it was during the years 1981 and 1984
that the lights started appearing much more
frequently, over 20 times a week - to the
point where people would show up just to see
• Some suggest it's an unstable tear through
space-time, one we can't yet understand
7 - Skunk Ape
• 2000, Florida, sightings of a large, foul-smelling
ape creature have been frequent for 30 years,
but it was an anonymous woman that mailed
this single photo to her local Sheriff's department
that put a face to the name, Skunk Ape
• She wrote that on three separate occasions
this ape entered her backyard to steal apples
• Since that time nobody can disprove this
photo, it looks authentic, and it's highly
possibly it belongs to the group hominid cryptid
said to inhabit Floridy, Carolina and Arkansas
• And it could very well be creeping around
to this day
6 - The Spectre of Newby Church
• 1963, a church in North Yorkshire, England,
Reverend K. F. Lord took this photograph inside
his church alongside several others
• He thought nothing of it until the film
was developed, and this hooded creature appeared
• Experts say the photo is not the result
of a double exposure, the figure is truly
there in the shot, but what it could be, nobody
knows
5 - The UFO painting
• The mid 14 hundreds, while technically
not a photo, this painting called the Madonna
with Saint Giovannino by Domenico Ghirlandaio,
depicts something very unsettling
• Above Mary's right shoulder you can clearly
see a round, spiky object in the sky
• Air travel wouldn't be invented for another
400 years, and there is no known phenomena
that could account for this bizarre shape
in otherwise standard painting for the era
• Did they see something we didn't? We'll
never know
4 - The Phoenix Lights
• 1997, 5 giant lights appear in the sky
over the city
• They appear one at a time, stay for a
while, then disappear
• Reports from earlier that day described
a colossal mile-wide dark aircraft in the
sky moving from town to town
• A nearby air force base claimed the lights
were simply flares attached to helium balloons,
but because of how perfectly in line they
were, people don't buy it
• There's a full documentary on this, Youtube
link below
3 - Loch Ness
• Old Nessy is a sea monster, massive urban
legend, rumoured to be a still-surviving dinosaur
known as a Plesiosaur
• Most famous image, the "surgeon's photograph"
from 1934, though this was later revealed
to be a giant hoax, made of a toy submarine
and plastic wood neck
• However, eyewitness accounts and even
live footage of Nessie are evidence enough
that there at least one creature in the Loch,
but we may never know if it's the fabled dinosaur
2 - Big Foot
• Also known as the Sasquatch, found in
the American Northwest
• Like Nessie, the legend of Bigfoot has
grown with folklore, hoaxes and faked photos
• But there is a very real possibility that
Bigfoot isn't a hoax
• Giant apes known as Gigantopithecus blacki
existed as recent as 100,000 thousand years
ago, and they were over triple the size of
humans and walked on back legs
• It's very much possible a few survived,
somewhere out in the wilderness
1 - The Black Knight
• The legend goes: a mysterious black object
orbits that Earth, one that's been around
for 13,000 years
• This object dubbed "The Black Knight"
had alledgedly been beaming signals to Earth
for a long time but only recently have we
acquired the technology to receive it
• The legend claims it was put there to
watch us, to study Earth's development, and
this is one of the few photos taken of it
• However, like a lot of myths, it took
on a life of its own, unreleated stories about
noises from outer space combined with Black
Knight theories gave birth to this legend,
and there hasn't been much evidence of its
continued existence
• But it's not impossible that somewhere
out there, someone or something is studying
us, silently, and it may be Batman. I hope
it's Batman.
