What if the Lost Colony of Roanoke was never truly lost?For over four centuries, this story has been wrapped in mystery, conspiracy, and fear. A vanished colony. A single word carved into wood. No bodies. No evidence. No explanation.But what if the truth isn’t hidden…What if it’s just uncomfortable? In this video, we explore the real history of Roanoke, separating fact from fiction, and uncovering the most widely supported theory—one that challenges everything we think we know.Because Roanoke may not have ended in violence.It may not have ended at all. From historical records and archaeological evidence to DNA research and forgotten accounts, we break down what likely happened—and why it continues to haunt us today.And more importantly…why this story feels so familiar.

Some places don’t stay behind when you leave them.Across the world, from the mountains of Wales to the cities of Japan, people tell the same chilling story. You visit a place where something terrible happened.A battlefield.An abandoned hospital.A forgotten road.And weeks later…You start to feel like you’re not alone anymore. In Japan, this presence has a name: the Onryō, a spirit born from grief, betrayal, and rage so powerful it refuses to fade. Unlike most ghosts, the Onryō doesn’t haunt buildings.It follows people.But what makes this even more disturbing is that similar stories appear in Welsh folklore, centuries before Japan and Wales had any cultural connection. The Cyhyraeth, the Gwrach y Rhibyn, and strange mountain spirits said to follow those who answer voices in the mist. Different cultures.Different names.But the same behaviour.In this video we explore the terrifying possibility that these encounters aren’t just ghost stories, but something much stranger.Why do witnesses across the world describe the same rules?Why does acknowledging something unseen sometimes make it go away… while ignoring it makes it worse? And why do people who visit certain places report the same unsettling feeling:That something followed them home.From documented historical accounts in Wales to modern urban legends in Japan, this is the story of the spirits that don’t haunt places… they haunt people.

They were there one second… gone the next. No screams. No bodies. No trace. Across forests, oceans, skies and mountains, people have vanished in ways that defy logic, science and explanation. From the chilling disappearances inside the Bennington Triangle to the mystery of Amelia Earhart, from lighthouse keepers lost without warning to a Welsh prince who stepped into legend, this video explores the most terrifying unsolved disappearances in history. Are these simply tragic missing person cases, or is there a hidden pattern linking them across countries and centuries? In this deep dive into unexplained mysteries, paranormal theories and historical enigmas, we investigate cases where footprints stop mid trail, planes fade mid transmission and witnesses watch someone vanish in plain sight. We explore rational explanations including psychological factors, environmental dangers and historical context, but we also examine the darker possibilities. Could thin places exist where reality bends? Could some disappearances be connected by something older than nations and older than language itself?

The Oldest Question in the World: What Really Haunts Us? For as long as humans have told stories, we’ve been haunted by the same question: What are ghosts? This video traces the origins of the supernatural from the world’s oldest civilisations to the haunted landscapes of Wales today. It explores how Mesopotamian priests, Greek philosophers, Chinese scholars, Celtic bards, and modern paranormal investigators have all confronted the same mystery. Ghosts have never belonged to one culture, they belong to every era, every belief system, and every human fear. This episode dives deep into the history, science, and psychology of hauntings. We examine, medieval sightings, and the rise of modern ghost evidence. We look at world-famous cases such as Anne Boleyn’s haunting, Borley Rectory, and the chilling spirits of Plas Teg. We explore Welsh traditions including the cyhyraeth, the phantom funeral, and the Otherworld that lies just beyond the mist. Every story reveals the same unsettling truth: the line between the living and the dead is far thinner than we’d like to believe. We also break down major theories about the paranormal, Stone Tape Theory, residual hauntings, consciousness as energy, time slips, tulpas, emotional imprints, parallel universes, and the possibility that hauntings may come from within us rather than outside us. At the same time, we address skepticism, psychology, pareidolia, and the scientific explanations people use to dismiss what they’ve seen. The video doesn’t tell you what to believe, it gives you the evidence, the history, and the patterns, and lets you decide what truly haunts us.
