Is there something else out there or can our minds literally be scaring us to death?

On should have been a regular sunny day, harvesters in the small town of Woolpit, England, made a strange discovery. In a pit made to trap wolves that would attack their livestock, they found two children: a young boy and his older sister. They would've been considered ordinary children if it weren't for one odd detail: their skin was a bright green color. They also didn't seem to be able to speak English or any other known language. Fortunately, one of them started learning the language and was finally able to explain where they came from. But the more the town started finding out about these children, the more the mystery grew.

For centuries, hikers and travelers have seen strange beings at the top of the Santa Lucia Mountains.
This is a lesser-known, short eerie legend of Ketell, as found on Chronicon Anglicanum by Radulphi de Coggeshall. You might recognize the chronicle's name because it's the same one where the story of the Green Children of Woolpit appears. In this story, an innocent teenager that works the fields has an encounter with small demons that are planning to scare everybody in town. He soon realizes that he's the only one that can see demons and decides to keep the secret for himself. This story reached Radulphi's ears and he documented in the book as a true account. But how terrifying is it to be able to see these evil spirits? Find Edwin on social media as @edwincov or more stories at HorrorStory.com
On November 30, 1948 in South Australia, a man in a suit appeared on the beach. Despite the many efforts of detectives, scientists, and the public, the man could not be identified. What made this mystery bizarre, was that there were cryptic messages and clues that made no sense. A small rolled up piece of paper, no labels on his clothing, and no apparent signs of struggle. However, in 2022, science finally caught up with the case and the identity was revealed. But even with that information, the case still remains a mystery.
