WELCOME TO UTOPIA - On a remote island, a rich former executive and his wife wait for the world to end.

IT’S often how the best stories arrive: a relative of a friend tells another friend and eventually that information ends up with a journalist who thinks, “What a great yarn.”

That’s what happened to Trent Dalton when he heard of a strange place being built in the wilds of Vanuatu by a wealthy businessman preparing for the end of the world. Only 23 people will be allowed in the 800ha sanctuary before it is sealed off from civilisation. Dalton and photographer Eddie Safarik set off to visit the ark, wondering whether they would find a weird cult or just a couple of cashed-up hippies searching for life’s meaning. It was a bizarre journey during which Dalton would have his own light-bulb moment.

Old, Dark Places With Really Creepy Backstories

Old, dark places are prime candidates for ghostly tales. Tunnels add a touch of claustrophobia to the mix. Humans have been digging through things for a long time, so the world isn’t short of tunnels with more history than lighting. Whether people were crushed building them or run over by trains, many have lost their lives underground. Tunnels have taken their place in folklore, fascinating both ghost hunters and those of us with a general interest in the macabre.

The Screaming Tunnel in Niagara Falls

The legend of The Screaming Tunnel in Niagara Falls begins with a young girl that met an unfortunate fate. There are a few versions of the story, but each one agrees that that she lived in a farmhouse on the south side of the tunnel. One night her house caught fire, and she fled the building with her clothes ablaze. She reach the tunnel before she fell to the ground, and that is where she perished. Other tales say she was set on fire deliberately by her raging father, or that she was raped and burnt in the tunnel to hide evidence.

The legend says that if you stand in the center of the tunnel and light a match, the match will go out. You will then hear the screams of the dying girl.

The tunnel’s a popular destination for ghost hunters, and you can take it in as part of a guided tour, if you wish. YouTube hosts many videos of it, though none of them appear to have captured the actual scream. One video does have coyotes in the background, making high-pitched yelps, of the sort that might well sound like screams with a bit of echo.

Sensabaugh Tunnel 

If you want a haunted tunnel in North America but don’t like Canadians and their mapley ways, there are plenty of tunnels in the US. Sensabaugh Tunnel is was built in Tennessee in the 1920s as part of a road and was named for the man that owned the land, Edward Sensabaugh. Old Ed features prominently in the legends behind the place. Your opinion on Ed is likely to be very different depending on which version you hear.

In the kinder version, Ed let a homeless man into his home as an act of charity. Their guest tried to steal jewelry, so Ed confronted him with a gun. The thief grabbed Ed’s baby daughter to use as a shield and ran out of the house. He got away and drowned the baby in the tunnel. Another version omits the homeless man, and paints Ed Sensabaugh as a madman that killed his entire family, baby included, and threw their bodies into the tunnel. However she died, that baby is said to haunt the tunnel today

Locals say that if you switch off your car engine in the middle of the tunnel, it won’t switch back on (dead babies love interfering with automotive electronics). You can also hear the baby’s cry and the approaching footsteps of Ed himself. An investigation by the Southern States Paranormal Research Society concluded that ghostly activity is sadly lacking, but they suggest an even more fascinating explanation for the tunnel’s reputation.

Edward Sensabaugh lived into his old age, not dying until the 1950s. None of his children died as babies. By the time Ed grew old, vandals and hormonal teenagers had taken to using the tunnel for their respective fun. Ed wasn’t happy about that fact—if you had your own tunnel, you’d probably not want teenagers ruining it either. Ed’s weapon was an unusual talent for mimicking animal cries. He would hide at one end of the tunnel and fill it with an eerie shriek, scaring off anyone hiding inside.

Moonville tunnel

The town of Moonville, Ohio would probably be long forgotten if not for its rail tunnel. In fact, if the tunnel wasn’t there, the town might never have existed. The tunnel was built when a local landowner offered a shortcut to the rail company building a track toward Cincinnati. This allowed him to haul coal and clay, and a few small settlement sprung up for people to take advantage. Moonville was among them, and its population peaked at about 100 in 1870.

The railway around the tunnel seemed almost designed to be a deathtrap. It was thin, and it led out onto a trestle above a high canyon that was itself just wide enough to fit the rail tracks. Given that it was a significant shortcut compared to walking around the valley, at least five people died after being hit by trains, the most recent in 1986. The line is no longer in use, except by an infamous phantom.

There are a few stories of the ghost’s origins. In some versions he was simply a drunk who took the tunnel as a shortcut home. When he heard a train coming he waved his lantern at it, but it didn’t stop in time. One story says that during a hard winter the town was running desperately low on supplies. Trains were passing by but not stopping, so locals hatched a plan to get someone to stand in the tunnel and wave a lamp to stop the train. The person they chose fell asleep and ran into the tunnel too late. The train killed him.

The lantern waving man is said to still be there, trying to flag down trains with his lantern. Some reports say that the rail company installed a signal at the mouth of the tunnel, and told drivers to ignore any lights they saw inside. The story has inspired songs, and there’s even a novel about the story of a conductor that met an unfortunate fate there.

Gold Camp Road tunnel

Gold Camp Road is a winding route through the wilderness of central Colorado. The 56 kilometer (35 mi) stretch has three tunnels, imaginatively named “one,” “two,” and “three.” A local legend says that a school bus full of children was travelling the road in 1987, when tunnel three collapsed on top of it and killed everyone inside.

Today, you can hear the giggles of children in the first two tunnels, but if you stand close to the entrance of the third you hear screams. When you pass through the third tunnel in your car, you will leave with mysterious handprints on your windows. People have even put videos of it happening online, with a “totally LEGIT” disclaimer.

Unfortunately, it’s not true. Or rather fortunately, because that means a bunch of children didn’t get killed. At least, if they did, no one has been able to find any mention of it in the news reports of the time. Tunnel three partially collapsed in 1987, but no one was hurt. Nevertheless, there are also tales of rail workers haunting the place (the tunnels used to be for railway lines) so you could catch a glimpse of one or those.

Even if you don’t experience anything out of the ordinary, the scenery is stunning, so you might prefer to visit during the daytime anyway.

Shanghai tunnel

For around a century, the city of Portland, Oregon was home to an unfortunate practice known as being Shanghaied. Men were kidnapped, locked up, and eventually forced to work on ships sailing to Asia. Women were kidnapped and sold for the same reasons they are today, to be forced to work as prostitutes. While there’s no direct evidence, local legend says that the victims were transported and held in the underground tunnel system beneath Portland’s Old Town.

This legend has made the tunnels extremely popular with ghost hunters. Most people that claim ghostly activity report a woman in a white dress. Others say they hear harsh male whispers, telling them to “get out” or, perhaps more worryingly, “stay.” Another ghost reported by the tunnel’s tour guides is Joshua, a 9-year-old boy who used to empty chamber pots for money.

The tour guides have a lot of stories of sounds and apparitions. While they may believe what they report, they do so with drama. The tunnel’s main curator, Michael P. Jones, has the demeanor of an unassuming horror film character. If nothing else, he was able to thoroughly creep out one local TV news presenter. If this was a horror film, she’d probably have been among the ghosts’ first victims.

Church Hill tunnel

The collapsed railway tunnel under Church Hill in Richmond, Virginia has the distinction of being haunted not just by ghosts, but also by a vampire. The tunnel originally opened in 1873 but closed in 1902. It was in the 1920s, with a growth in both the city’s population and economy, that the local rail company decided to reopen the 1,200 meter (4,000 ft) tunnel. It needed to becleaned and reinforced before it was ready for use.

On the afternoon of October 2, 1925, 200 men were working in the tunnel. They stood on flat cars, pulled by a steam locomotive, working on the tunnel’s roof. The ceiling above the locomotive collapsed, burying the train in rubble and clay near the western entrance. Steam squirted from the squashed boiler, scalding the train’s fireman. He was able to crawl out of the tunnel to the east, but he died of his injuries in the hospital.

The train’s driver came off even worse. He was found dead after an eight day rescue operation, buried in the cab. He was badly burnt and a lever was jammed into his chest. Record keeping was very informal, and most of the workmen were day laborers, but at least one other person was never recovered. The locomotive, and likely a few bodies, are still in the tunnel. It’s since been filled with sand and the entrances blocked with concrete.

Those near the tunnel have reported hearing a number of sounds. Voices saying “get me out,” the sound of digging, and even the screech of locomotive wheels have all been reported. The Richmond Vampire, a famous resident of a nearby cemetery, is said to have feasted on the dead workers. Rescuers in the days after the collapse found him crouched over a body, before seeing his bloody fangs. They chased the vampire back to the crypt of a man that had died in 1922.

That grave has since been padlocked, and the bodies inside have been removed. It suggests an interesting scenario, though. If the Richmond Vampire did indeed feast on the blood of the trapped workers, then perhaps some of them turned. Could the noises people hear perhaps come not from ghosts, but from immortal vampires that have been waiting 90 years for their first drop of blood?

This Guy Is Shouting At Random People. You’ll Never Guess What He’s Saying

We all have the power to make a difference and have our voice heard. Thanks to megaphones our voices can become that much more prominent in many public settings to share truth or to spread an inspiring message.

Blake Grigsby has done just that with a concept he has called ‘Drive By Compliments,’ which as the name suggests involves shouting compliments to random strangers while driving by them in a car.

As Blake’s YouTube channel states the aim of his videos is to make us smile, both as a viewer and for those directly involved in his videos.  Check it out:

No matter how simple or even comical they may be, a simple compliment can go a long way in brightening up an individuals day, week or  life -especially when they come about unexpectedly. Living in a world that so many of us regularly operate within individualized bubbles, where the majority of our so-called “connections” occur via social media or other technology platforms, personal interaction can be a very welcomed experience. As Blake’s video shows us we all have the power to interact with one another in positive ways and may just have a good time doing so.

The Origins of Human Beings According to Ancient Sumerian Texts

Sumer, or the ‘land of civilized kings’, flourished in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, around 4500 BC. Sumerians created an advanced civilization with its own system of elaborate language and writing, architecture and arts, astronomy and mathematics. Their religious system was a complex one comprised of hundreds of gods, rites and cosmology. According to the ancient texts, each Sumerian city was guarded by its own god; and while humans and gods used to live together, the humans were servants to the gods.

The Sumerian creation myth can be found on a tablet in Nippur, an ancient Mesopotamian city founded in approximately 5000 BC.

The creation of Earth (Enuma Elish) according to the Sumerian tablets begins like this:

When in the height heaven was not named,
And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name,
And the primeval Apsu, who begat them,
And chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both
Their waters were mingled together,
And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen;
When of the gods none had been called into being,
And none bore a name, and no destinies were ordained;
Then were created the gods in the midst of heaven,
Lahmu and Lahamu were called into being… 

It is interesting here to note that no one god is responsible for creation, as even gods are themselves part of the creation.

Sumerian mythology claims that, in the beginning, human-like beings of extra-terrestrial origin ruled over Earth. Those beings, or gods, could travel through the sky in either round or rocket shaped vehicles. These beings toiled Earth’s soil, digging to make it habitable and mining its minerals.

The texts mention that at some point the gods mutinied against their labour.

When the gods like men
Bore the work and suffered the toll
The toil of the gods was great,
The work was heavy, the distress was much. 

Anu, the god of gods, agreed that their labour was too great. His son Enki, or Ea, proposed to create man to bear the labour, and so, with the help of his half-sister Ninki, he did. A god was put to death, and his body and blood was mixed with clay. From that material the first human being was created, in likeness to the gods. 

You have slaughtered a god together
With his personality
I have removed your heavy work
I have imposed your toil on man.
…
In the clay god and Man
Shall be bound,
To a unity brought together;
So that to the end of days
The Flesh and the Soul
Which in a god have ripened –
That soul in a blood-kinship be bound.

It is interesting here to note that the spirit is connected to the body, as is the case in many other religions and myths.

This first man was created in Eden, a Sumerian word which means ‘flat terrain’. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Eden is mentioned as the garden of the gods and is located somewhere in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Initially human beings were unable to reproduce on their own, but were later modified with the help of Enki and Ninki. Thus Adapa is created as a fully functional and independent human being. This ‘modification’ was done without the approval of Enki’s brother, Enlil, and a conflict between the gods begins. Enlil becomes the adversary of man, and the Sumerian tablet mentions that men served gods and went through much hardship and suffering.

Although not the exact creation story involving two trees in Eden, Adapa, with the help of Enki, ascends to Anu where he fails to answer a question about ‘the bread and water of life’. Opinions vary on the similarities between these two creation stories, but one thing remains clear: immortality is meant for gods, not for men.
