*SLEEP PARALYSIS*

Well, look what she can do… if she wanted us dead. When we cut into her. She tried to stop us each time. It’s like there’s something she doesn’t want us to find.

The Overtoun Bridge

Over 300 dogs have jumped off this bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland.  Since the 1960s, the Overtoun Bridge has been a mysterious hotbed for what locals have called “doggy suicides.”

Owners walking their dogs on the bridge would scream in terror as their dogs got away and leapt to their deaths. The dogs that jumped but didn’t die would climb their way back up only to jump again.

One day Lottie MacKinnon was walking her border collie, Bonnie, over the Overtoun Bridge during one of their walking sessions. Suddenly, MacKinnon said she could sense something change in her dog.

“Something overcame Bonnie as soon as we approached the bridge,” MacKinnon said. “At first [Bonnie] froze, but then she became possessed by a strange energy and ran and jumped right off the parapet.” Bonnie, however, was one of the lucky ones to survive a jump off Overtoun Bridge.

There are many theories about why dogs are doing this. Some people believe its supernatural. Animal experts believe its due to the fact that the dogs are simply attracted to the strong scents given off by the mammals living in the lush gorge below the bridge.

Whatever the cause may be, the Overtoun Bridge continues to be a hotspot for jumping dogs. Thus a local member of parliament called on the Dumbarton Council to erect clearly marked warning signs around the area of the Overtoun Bridge in hopes of curbing this bizarre and macabre trend.

Dead Children’s Playground

Located in Huntsville Alabama, this haunted playground is situated behind Maple Hill Cemetery (the state’s largest and oldest cemetery).It is set in a low spot and surrounded by rocks and trees on three sides, making it all the more claustrophobic.

The playground has accumulated a deep catalogue of supernatural associations. Locals have claimed to hear children laughing/screaming in the middle of the night. They have seen swings move on their own and ghostly orbs floating around at night.

Legend says that during the 1960s, the area around Huntsville was gripped by a terrible rash of child abductions that devastated the city. Unfortunately, many of the children didn’t survive the clutches of their captors, and their bodies were discovered around the area where the macabre playground now sits.

SCOOB! by Zac Retz

The killing of Elsie Frost is one of the UK’s most violent unsolved murders. On Saturday 9 October 1965, Elsie, 14, set off home on the outskirts of Wakefield from a nearby youth club sailing event. Dressed in a bright red anorak, yellow cardigan and floral skirt, Elsie walked along the canal towpath – so she didn’t get her new leather shoes muddy. But she never made it home.

As she walked through a 30ft tunnel beneath a railway embankment she was attacked. Struck from behind and stabbed – twice in the back, twice in the head and once through the hand. One of the blows pierced her heart. Fatally injured Elsie stumbled through the tunnel to the bottom of a steep flight of stone steps – known as the ABC steps as there are 26 – that led up to the main road.

That’s where she was found, dying by a local dog-walker. Others soon appeared on the scene. An ambulance was called, but Elsie was dead by the time they arrived. The hunt for the killer was national news. Elsie was intelligent, bookish, close to her family – police couldn’t establish any motive.

Officers went door-to-door, interviewed 12,000 men and teenage boys – but her killer was never found. Decades past, her parents, Arthur and Edith, died without seeing justice for their daughter. The case is still one of the UK’s most violent unsolved murders, and Elsie’s family continue to push for justice. Still, over half a century on, the killer, murder weapon and motive remain unknown.
