Strange and mysterious photos that have no explanation.

In this publication we have collected 50 photos of ghosts and spirits, which were captured at different times by different people around the world.

A selection of mysterious shots, some of which have stories behind them that have not yet received a clear explanation. There are also pictures that have long been solved, and they can be easily explained.

Mysterious murders at the Hinterkaifeck farm

The murder of six people at the Hinterkaifeck estate, located between the two German cities of Ingolstadt and Schrobenhausen, still remains unsolved. The victims of the unknown killer were: farmer Andreas Grüber and his wife Secilia, their widowed daughter Victoria Gabriel and her two children - Secilia and Josef, as well as housekeeper Maria Baumgartner. All were killed with a hoe. The photo shows one of the victims.

About a hundred people were interviewed, but no arrests were made. The maid, who had left the house six months earlier, claimed that Hinterkaifeck was haunted. The new maid arrived at the estate literally a few hours before her death.

Lights over Phoenix

The Phoenix Lights are a series of unidentified flying objects observed by thousands of witnesses in the skies over the US states of Arizona and Nevada, as well as over the state of Sonora, Mexico. No clear explanation was given, but it became known that at that moment four people disappeared in the state of Arizona - precisely in the vicinity of the appearance of the objects.

Astronaut from the Solway Firth

In 1964, fireman, photographer and local historian Jim Templeton photographed his daughter near the Solway Firth. Later, one of the photographs revealed the silhouette of a man who closely resembled an astronaut in full uniform. Kodak, where the film was sent, confirmed the originality of the frame. The solution has not yet been found, but they say that this is just the silhouette of Jim's wife, turning away from the camera.

Falling body

This photo was taken by a member of the Cooper family as they moved into their new home in Texas. Right as they were taking the picture, a body fell onto them from the attic. dezinfo.net does not have any more information about this photo, but you must agree that it looks creepy.

Phantom Hand

A small puzzle for which no solution has been found. The photo is real - no photoshop. You see a hand with a raised finger behind the ear of a boy in a black T-shirt. Who might it belong to?

Battle of Los Angeles

This photo appeared in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942. Many modern supernatural researchers claim that in the picture the spotlights are directed at the alien ship. In fact, experts on fake photographs interviewed by the editors of dezinfo.net claim that this is the result of high-quality retouching. However, the photo caused a lot of noise at the time.

Lights of Hessdalen

The Hessdalen lights - flashes of light in the sky over central Norway - were first reported in the 1940s. The highest activity was observed from the early winter of 1981 to the summer of 1984 - the lights could be observed 15-20 times a week. Since then, the frequency of occurrence has decreased and is now 10-20 times a year. The nature of the phenomenon is still unclear.

Time traveling hipster

Some believe this photo, dated 1941 and taken at the opening of a bridge in Canada, shows a time-traveling hipster. Indeed, the man looks completely different from most people of that era. Compare at least the cameras circled in red. However, it was proven that such gadgets existed at that time, and similar clothes could easily be bought in the store.

Satellite "Black Prince"

There is evidence that there is a satellite orbiting the Earth, called the Black Prince, which is approximately 13,000 years old. Little is known about its origin - astronomers are inclined to believe that it is a fragment of some kind of cosmic object, but the question still remains open.

Woman from the South Tower

These photographs, taken after the planes struck the shopping center on September 11, 2001, clearly show a woman standing on the edge of a cave-in. This is Edna Clinton, and how she managed to survive the explosion is still unclear.

Skunk monkey

In 2000, a woman who wished to remain anonymous sent the Sarasota, Florida Police Department photographs of an unknown creature that visited her house at night to devour apples. Naturally, enthusiasts immediately dubbed him a skunk monkey (I don’t know why) and decided that this was Bigfoot.

Madonna with Saint Giovaninno

This painting was painted in the 15th century by the artist Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 - 1494) and is located in the Palazzo Vecchio. Experts in matters of painting have never been able to understand what kind of object is soaring in the sky.

Falcon Lake Incident

On May 20, 1967, Stefan Michalak went to Whiteshell State Park near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, Canada, to study quartz deposits when he discovered two cigar-shaped objects, one of which landed next to a man. Michalak said the door to the facility opened and he heard voices coming from inside. Stefan tried to make contact in several languages, but there was no response. After some time, the object rose into the air, leaving behind a strange exhaust in the form of a lattice, which left a burn on Stefan's chest. The man received another burn after he tried to pick up “multi-colored pieces of glass” left at the landing site of the ship.

People have long been interested in various mysteries; they have also always been attracted to mysticism. It evokes in almost every person Unsolved situations force the brain to come up with its own solutions and details.

This article presents mysterious photographs that cannot be explained. They are the only ones in the entire history of art that defy logic. Even scientists are unable to find the answer. Maybe it will come to the mind of one of the readers?

List of photos

A list of mysterious photographs that are difficult to explain will help you navigate the article. What interesting photographs will we talk about?

1. Grandmother at the Kennedy assassination site.
2. Glow in the Hessdalen Valley.
3. Sea monster.
4. Astronaut.
5. Water ghosts.
6. Strange image.
7. Mountain on the Moon.
8. Ghost in the photo.
9. Killer hotel.

Lady Grandmother

Lady Granny was the name given to the woman who allegedly filmed the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She got this name because of her appearance: in the photographs she was wearing a scarf, which is a bit reminiscent of Russian headdresses. Scientists and police have tried hundreds of times to identify Lady Granny, but all attempts have failed. There is a version that it was Beverly Oliver. This assumption arose after the woman’s statement in 1970, in which she “identified” herself in the photo. However, researchers found her words to be false.

On November 22, 1963, shots were heard in Dallas. All the people who were filming immediately ran away. But one woman, who hid her face with a scarf, continued this act and left only after the shots stopped. When the body was discovered, the police ordered the production of all amateur videos taken at the time of the murder. The material that Lady Grandmother made has not been found. Moreover, of all the available videos, there was not a single one that was filmed from the same angle.

Now mysterious photographs of the past are circulating freely on the Internet. On them you can see the woman described.

Glow in the Hessdalen Valley

The Hessdalen Valley is located a few kilometers from Trondheim. It is 15 km long and 5 km wide. Around the valley on the western and eastern parts there is a ring of one of the local mountains, with a height of more than 1 km. In the southern territory you can find a couple of lakes. There are small settlements of 200 people here.

For several decades now, scientists have not been able to unravel the mystery of the “birds of fire.” This glow appears regularly over the valley. He is constantly visible in different places. Glowing objects can be seen above the roofs of houses or somewhere high in the sky. Most often they appear at night during the winter season. In summer, the glow is so rare that it can be completely invisible.

Luminous objects could sparkle motionlessly over the valley for several hours, and sometimes settlements noticed that they were moving at a certain speed across the sky. One day, scientists caught them using special radars. Then they moved at a speed of 8500 m/s. The shape of the objects is different, the color ranges from white to yellow.

Such mysterious photographs and stories about them cause a lot of controversy among Internet users. However, it is almost impossible to know the truth.

Sea monster

The next photo is familiar to many. Users on forums claim that the photo is the result of working with an editor. But they don't know that Frenchman Robert le Serrec filmed this giant animal in 1964. Subsequently, photography became the object of controversy among zoologists.

The date of the photo makes it clear that no one used an editor when creating it.

Robert and his wife were vacationing at Stonehaven Bay, which is located near Hook Island. The first to notice the giant animal was a woman, whose call was answered by her husband. According to their description, the object looked like a tadpole. Its length was 2.5 meters. The animal showed no signs of life, so the couple assumed it was dead. As people got closer, the object began to move.

This picture is included in the list of real, but most mysterious photographs. After all, it really defies any explanation.

Mysterious astronaut

A man, Jim Templeton, decided to take photographs of his daughter and wife in Cabria in 1964. He and his family were vacationing near the local bay. Jim did not think at that moment that one of the photographs taken would someday join the ranking of the most mysterious photographs in the world.

After the image was developed, the man noticed that a man in a spacesuit was standing behind his daughter. At the same time, Jim claimed that at that time there was no one near them. When the photo became available to the public, viewers began to say that, most likely, her mother was standing behind the girl. Others suggested that the picture is really an astronaut who landed not far from the couple.

Ghosts in the water

In the winter of 1924, a ship was moving through the Panama Canal, heading from California to New Orleans. It was on this flight that two sailors died. Presumably, they suffocated with oil or gasoline vapors. They were buried at sea off the coast of Mexico.

The very next day, one of the crew noticed two faces on the waves. According to his stories, he immediately recognized them as dead comrades. Before arriving at their destination, the team saw them several more times. After this, the captain reported this to his superiors, and he was given the task of photographing the ghosts.

When the faces appeared, the crew chief captured them in photographs. After this, the sailors contacted the Bureau of Investigation to verify whether these photographs were true. No traces of falsification were found. That is why this picture is included in the list of mysterious photographs that are difficult to explain.

UFO

The photo below was taken in 1950. After a mysterious flying object was recorded, a rumor appeared about the existence of aliens. Researcher Keyhoe then submitted a request to the United States Air Force outlining the claims. They are associated with the discovery of two satellites surrounding the Earth. However, the country's administration stated that no one had launched research objects into orbit. Moreover, nothing is known about them. Thus, another mysterious photographs appeared that cannot be explained.

Strange image

The photo shows a family that has just moved into a new home in Texas. Photographs were taken on this occasion. After their appearance, it turned out that near the two women there was some kind of silhouette either hanging from the ceiling or floating in the air. Naturally, no one saw him when the photographs were taken.

After a little investigation, some facts emerged that made it possible to claim that the photo was faked. However, the real explanation for the photo never became known. That is why it is included in the review of mysterious photographs that cannot be explained.

Mountain on the Moon

Below is a picture that was taken during one of the studies. When scientists reviewed the photographs, this one was included in the “exposed” list. Indeed, it suffered from a lot of light exposure. After it was “darkened” a little, something was noticed located on the Moon. As a result of research, it turned out that mountains or pyramids. At first it is not entirely clear why these images are mysterious photographs that cannot be explained, but have similar formations ever been seen on the Earth’s satellite?

Ghost in the photo

Freddie Jackson died in 1919. It happened during a working day - he was killed by an airplane propeller. Two days later the entire squadron was invited to take a joint photo. After it was developed, all the workers were very surprised - after all, their friend was also in the photograph. By the way, the funeral took place at the same time the photo was taken. Such mysterious photos that cannot be explained often circulate on the Internet, but this one shocked everyone. After all, there was no Photoshop at that time!

Killer hotel

In all Internet lists where the rating of mystical photographs is compiled, this one ranks first. The photo “tells” about the guest who died at the hotel - Elisa Lam. Why did this story so shock the whole world? Published mysterious photographs that could not be explained at the beginning of 2013 immediately excited America. They also come with a video (it can still be found on the Internet). This gives reason to believe that the photographs are genuine.

Elisa Lam arrived in America from Canada on January 26. She stayed in an inexpensive hotel. She was only 21. The girl was an exemplary daughter, she called her parents every day, talking about what interesting situations were happening to her in the United States.

After Elisa arrived in the City of Angels, her loved ones became worried because she stopped answering calls. She was last seen in a bookstore. Returning to the hotel, she took the elevator to her floor. After the girl left, she disappeared without a trace.

Lam was remembered on February 19, when new guests began to complain about the quality of the water, the unpleasant smell and strange color. After repairmen went to the roof and opened the water tanks, they found Lam naked there.

The mysterious, unexplained photographs (the review of which is shocking) supporting this story would not have attracted much attention if not for certain oddities. It all started with the release of a video taken by an elevator camera. It shows a girl - Eliza. For some reason, when I pressed the floor button, the doors did not close. After this, it is clear that the girl is trying to hide from something in the corner of the elevator. The next action of the guest was chaotic glances, she ran out of the room, looked around and fought with someone. At the same time, the elevator doors continued to be open. It feels like someone was holding them. After the girl’s strange actions, she finally left the elevator. By the way, he immediately closed and went to the next floor. What’s strange is that six months after Eliza’s death, the information on her blog was updated.

Over the almost 200-year history of photography, several unique photographs have been taken that no one can explain to this day. (Next 10 mysterious stories)

In 2004, the Opportunity rover discovered curious microscopic spherical formations on the Martian soil. However, Opportunity took an even more interesting image at the end of 2012, which clearly shows a much larger number of much larger spheres.

These spheres, made of hematite, could mean that there was water on the “Red Planet” in the past.

Sea Monster filmed off the coast of Hook Island (March 1965)

This well-known photo is considered by many to be the result of Photoshop. But few people know that French photographer Robert le Serrec photographed this unknown giant sea animal back in 1965, and this photograph became the reason for heated discussions among zoologists.

The first photograph of an unknown object, called the “Black Knight,” was taken in 1960 by one of the first Earth satellites. An unidentified object is clearly visible in polar orbit, which could not be either a USSR satellite or a US satellite. Since then, this object has been seen many times - it appears and disappears at certain time intervals. The images below are photographs of this object taken by NASA's STS-88 mission.

Among these images was STS088-724-66. Enlarging the image makes it possible to view the object in more detail. After careful study, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a fragment of artificial origin.

On November 22, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. While analyzing photographs taken at the murder scene, experts noticed a mysterious woman in a light brown raincoat and scarf. She appears in many photographs and almost always holds a camera in her hands. The FBI was looking for this woman for a long time, but they were never able to establish her identity.

The Collector's Edition DVD of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus includes a bonus featurette of the 1928 premiere. One of the frames shows a woman holding in her hand something very reminiscent of a mobile phone. Belfast-based film director George Clarke said he believes the footage is evidence of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that the woman is holding an auditory tube in her hand. But then it is not clear why she smiles and says something to her.

In 1907, a group of teachers, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Lights.

Björn Hauge took this one on a clear night using a shutter speed of 30 seconds. Spectral analysis showed that the object should consist of silicon, iron and scandium. This is the most informative, but far from the only photo of the “Lights of Hessdalen”. Scientists are still scratching their heads as to what it could be.

This photo was taken during the Tiananmen Square riots in Beijing in June 1989. Some unarmed man alone held back a column of tanks for half an hour. The identity and further fate of this man remained a mystery. But this photograph was published in almost all major publications in the world, and the unknown rebel himself became a symbol of resistance to power.

In 1964, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth, where he decided to take Kodak photographs of his five-year-old daughter. The Templetons assured that there was no one else in these swampy places except them. And when the photographs were developed, one of them revealed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl’s back. The analysis showed that the photograph had not been subject to any changes.

This is a group photo of Goddard's squadron, which fought in the First World War. It contains one intriguing detail: at the very top, behind one of the officers, you can see a face in which the squadron members recognized their former mechanic Freddie Jackson, who died two days before this photo was taken. And on the day the squadron was photographed, Jackson’s funeral took place.

What you see above is a photograph of the lunar surface numbered AS17-136-20680, which was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. In the catalog of photographs, it was listed as “exposed.” She clearly suffered from excessive light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, it captured structures resembling pyramids.
