Stadium 'Ghost' Runs Through Soccer Fans

Courtesy Fox Sports/YouTube

Un Fantasma! Was the dark figure darting through the stands and looking like it was passing directly through the spectators at this soccer game, a ghost? According to Nine MSN, "The human silhouette was captured moving through the bleachers during a Fox Sports live transmission of Bolivia's The Strongest versus Defensor Sporting, of Uruguay, in La Paz's Hernando Siles Stadium on Thursday."

Apparently this is not the first time spectral activity has occurred in this city's oldest stadium and another figure was purportedly seen near its northern end. The article mentioned that skeptics are labeling this as a "reflection or double exposure of one of the players on the field." All we know is that it looks strange and that the addition of "The X-Files" theme in the background makes it extra fantasmatastic (not a word, but it should be?).

Check out the video below and let us know what you think is running around in this stadium...

Did a 'Ghost' Pay a Valentine's Day Visit to One of England's Oldest Pubs?

Here's another 'ghost' video for your perusal and it just happened last week. The UK's Manchester Evening News reported that staff at one of Britain's oldest pubs got pretty spooked when they investigated why the CCTV camera stopped recording at 6:18am on Friday morning (February 14). It seems that in the Ye Olde Man and Scythe, Bolton, Greater Manchester, Valentine's Day may have been confused with Halloween.

According to manager Tony Dooley, "I came down and saw a glass smashed on the floor so I was instantly suspicious and went to check the CCTV and found it has stopped working. We checked the footage and it revealed this figure. To be honest I was a bit concerned - I'm a bit of a sceptic when it comes to ghosts but you become more of a believer when you see things like that."

The pub dates back to 1251, and is the "fourth-oldest pub in Britain and is reputedly haunted by the Seventh Earl of Derby, James Stanley." It also has quite the bloody history including the fact that hundreds of soldiers and civilians were "killed outside the pub in the Bolton Massacre of 1644." It is said to be haunted by at least 25 spirits, and Tony revealed, "Occasionally you hear things and wonder if it's just the building settling down or whether it's something else."

The beginning of the video sets it up nicely and it does look like something or someone appears. Let us know what you suspect. Could it be one of the resident ghosts, a camera glitch, cupid?

'The Walking Dead'... 'Seinfeld'-style?

What happens when you take a throwback scene between Rick and Shane from "The Walking Dead" and add a "Seinfeld" laugh track? Well, hilarity obviously ensues! Boy, I forgot what a jerk Shane (Rest in Pieces) was. Check out the video below, done by Martin Comedy, and share it with your zombie-loving friends for a good laugh.

Bigfoot Video Captured in Alberta, Canada

Bigfoot just loves making his way into the news lately. Is he tired of hiding? Did this family enjoying a snowy walk in the woods of Calgary actually find some compelling evidence? Do we need to alert Dean Cain? So many questions...but aren't there always when it comes to this elusive cryptid?

Posted January 31 on GhostTheory.com and mentioned on FEARNET.com, the video depicts a humanoid creature at the edge of the woods near a river and a little girl's voice proclaiming, "That is not a human." Their reactions indicated they truly weren't expecting to see such a creature during their walk and based on these reactions and the way the 22-second video was shot, it's hard to determine if this is an elaborate hoax.

It's a pretty compelling video but we'd love to know if the area was explored further. Were there hair samples taken or footprints captured? Check out both the original video and the slowed down version for a better look at the creature and let us know what you think.

'Twin Peaks' as You've Never Seen it...Illustrated!

Courtesy: WelcometoTwinPeaks.com

Artist Martin Woutisseth, the man behind the illustrated "Breaking Bad" video, is at it again. This time he has delved into David Lynch's mad world of "Twin Peaks."

Woutisseth offers up some insight to the project on his personal website:

The universe of ‘Twin Peaks’ is so rich that I always wanted to add more symbols, transitions, details, [...]I based my character illustrations on pictures found on the Internet, and put them in a different backgrounds with different light. Kind of like the opening of ‘The Simpsons,’ I wanted to introduce the viewer to the town of ‘Twin Peaks’ and its residents by going from one place to another place with soft transitions, instead of the famous ‘Twin Peaks’ opening titles [...] Sometimes people comment on my illustrations that they’re just photos with an instant Photoshop filter applied to it. That’s not true. It takes hours to make them and portraits have between 100 to 250 layers! I wanted to show up how many layers I use in something more original and graphic design.

This video is about as amazing as a cup of coffee that's black as midnight served up with a slice of cherry pie!

'A Krampus Carol' By Anthony Bourdain Is Devilishly Good

Chef Anthony Bourdain just became a little cooler with this two-and-a-half minute video depicting just how evil Santa's devilish side-kick, Krampus, really is. Uploaded back in 2011, Bourdain's story "A Krampus Carol" has Santa directing his dark companion to the home of two naughty children with the command, "Go get 'em, Krampus!" Nope, that's not Santa, kids. They certainly get quite the lesson, but it's just a legend, right?

Please to enjoy this animated Zero Point Zero Production, Inc. video and remember to behave or Krampus might pay you a visit!
