Lawrence Joseph Bader, a cookware salesman from Ohio, disappeared in 1957 whilst on a fishing trip at Lake Eerie. Authorities found his empty boat, tackle, but Lawrence was nowhere to be seen. A freak storm made it probable that Bader had been injured and died. In 1960, he was officially declared dead. His wife, Mary Lou, was heavily pregnant with their fourth child and was understandably devastated. That was until, in 1965, Bader was miraculously found alive; Living as John ‘Fritz’ Johnson, a local TV personality, in Omaha, Nebraska.
It was only by sheer coincidence that Lawrence was recognised. On February 2, 1965, Johnson was at an archery tournament in Chicago when he was spotted by an old friend. Bader’s 21-year-old niece, Suzanne Peika, then approached him to have a look. Convinced, she asked him, “Pardon me, but aren’t you my Uncle Larry Bader, who disappeared seven years ago?” Johnson laughed it off, but Mrs. Pieka insisted that had his fingerprints compared with Bader’s military records. They matched. Johnson was now faced with the fact that all his memories were false and that he had two wives.
This case has been described as one of the most baffling amnesia disappearances on record, and it will never be properly answered as Lawrence/John had no recollection of the events leading up to it.

Who Killed Betsy Aardsma?
On November 28, 1969, the body of 22-year-old Betsy Aardsma was found stabbed to death between rows 50 and 51 on level 2 of the stacks of the Pattee Library of Penn State University. Aardsma was originally from Holland, Michigan, and was an alum of the University of Michigan. She had transferred to Penn State’s main campus to follow her boyfriend, David S. Wright, a med student at Penn State’s Hershey campus. Her murder is unsolved, and the details surrounding her death make it all the more tragic.
Aardsma was born in Holland, Michigan, a town rich in Dutch-American culture and steeped in Reformed Church religious practices, which include the concept of predestination. But more on that later.
She enrolled in Hope College, a Reformed church liberal arts college that was close to home, as a Honors pre-med student in 1969. She was described as very smart by most of her classmates, and was one of the only women in her science classes. However, by sophomore year she switched to English, as she found a deeper connection with the liberal arts, and often wrote poetry. Her friends described her as a liberal, and she adopted many ideas of early feminism, as evidenced by her decision to major in pre-med. She was also silently supportive of the Civil Rights movement and was vocally opposed to the Vietnam War. By the end of her sophomore year, she made the decision to transfer to the University of Michigan, most likely to escape the strict conservative and religious rules that dictated life at Hope College. She soon found a dream in the Peace Corps, and made the decision to join after she graduated.
However, life was not exactly peaceful during that time at the University of Michigan. John Norman Chapman, then known as the Co-ed Killer, Michigan Murderer, or Ypsilanti Ripper, was an active serial killer on campus at the time. Students such as Aardsma were living in fear as they attended classes. Additionally, Aardsma’s junior year at the University of Michigan was also when she met soon-to-be boyfriend David S. Wright, a pre-med student. The two lived in neighboring apartments their senior year; he with his fraternity, and she with some friends. Aardsma graduated with honors from the University of Michigan in 1969, and still planned to join the Peace Corps later that year. However, Wright was not keen on the idea of being separated from his girlfriend for over a year, and let his insecurities be known. The two were also “unofficially engaged.” He stated later that he regretted making Aardsma choose between him and her dreams.
Wright was accepted as a student of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for the following school year, and Aardsma made the decision to apply to Penn State’s main campus, and become a teacher. She was quickly accepted, and started classes in the fall of 1969. She and Wright drove or took a bus to see each other every weekend, and Aardsma had many friends on campus. Her parents were happy with the transfer, as it meant she was getting away from the violence at the University of Michigan. Little did they know, violence would find her anyway.
On November 28, 1969, a day after returning from a Thanksgiving get-together with Wright and friends, Aardsma headed to the library to work on a project for her English 501 class. She and roommate Sharon Brandt headed to the stacks of the Pattee Library around 4:00 pm. She was wearing a sleeveless red dress and white turtleneck, which friends thought was an odd choice of outfit, especially for Aardsma. Police speculated at that time that she was going to meet someone, although there was no evidence of tension in her relationship with Wright. Around 4:45 pm, assistant stacks supervisor David Brungart spotted Aardsma between rows 50 and 51, along with two men chatting nearby.
Witnesses reported hearing falling books and a gasp, but no one saw anything because the rows of books were so packed together. Barely anyone was in the library at the time because of the holiday, and no one went to immediately check on what the sounds were. Another student, Mary Erdley, ran into to two men on their way out, one of whom told her, “Somebody better help that girl.” They led Erdley to Aardsma, who was lying on the ground, seemingly dead. They then disappeared. It apparently took twenty minutes before Erdley could get someone to stop to help Aardsma. An ambulance took her body to the Ritenour Student Health Center, where she was eventually pronounced dead at 5:50 pm. A librarian had previously tried to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and ambulance attendants thought she was alive and had suffered an epileptic seizure.
Aardsma had not suffered a seizure; she had been stabbed. Her cause of death was one swift stab to the heart with a 3 ½-4 inch hunting knife. The killer stabbed her in the front through her breastbone. There were no defensive wounds, and no scream. The bleeding was mostly internal in her lungs, and the little blood that did make it outside was disguised by her red dress. Aardsma had been caught off guard and killed in one fatal move.
So who killed Betsy Aardsma? It’s a mystery that’s plagued investigators and the Penn State community for almost 50 years. Police have no suspects, no leads, and barely any evidence. The two men who alerted Erdley of Aardsma’s body are thought to be the killers, but they’ve never been identified. Moreover, no motive have ever been discovered; no one had any reason to want Aardsma dead.
What makes this murder all the more mysterious is the fact that Aardsma predicted her own death many times. She wrote that she’d die young in letters to friends and told it to her family. Her church believed in the concept of predestination, and the priest at her funeral told her family that she had been destined to die, even reportedly reading one of Aardsma’s letters out loud. Her predetermined destiny, it seemed, came to fruition. But as to who killed her, or why, those questions have remained answered for decades, and likely will for many more.

PSA:
being half native, i am beyond tired of this reoccurring theme. for all of you cryptid fans, the wendigo, thunderbirds, skinwalkers, etc. are NOT cryptids. they are a part of indigenous culture and are spirits/entities, and not anything like mothman. they are religious and cultural folklore, despite the fact that cryptozoologists try to classify them as cryptids.
also, do not associate any non-indigenous oc’s with ANY spirits from native culture and folklore, as it is very insensitive (i.e. kylo ren wendigo, named “rendigo”) to the culture and considered white-washing. our culture, practices, and religion has already been stretched far and thin over the years. be respectful please.

In the forest of California, there’s a rooted legend that has gone for generations, beings that seem to have no arms, no body but they have a head and long legs, tend to walk through the forests at night.
The Nightcrawler, also called the Fresno Alien, is a mysterious new cryptid that has so far made two appearances, both in Fresno, California. On both sightings, it was only seen in video footage. It appears to be a relatively short creature (approx. 4 feet in height). It is an extremely thin, white humanoid with no discernible arms. It also appears to be wearing a white gown or cloak of some sort. It is thought to be like a grey.
Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMv85lRAmuk
Take a look for yourself, and you make a decision. What do you think it is? Could it be a hoax? Or something else?

Bigfoot on Police Dash-Cam
This is a quite famous Bigfoot video that was filmed back in 2009. It is of a couple officers driving down a dark road in Georgia. As they’re driving a bipedal creature darts out in front of them and crosses the road. The video is too dark to see the top half of the creature but its legs are visible, which proves whatever it was is bipedal. The anomaly appears at 0:40.
There has been no proven or disproven theory as to what was captured on the dashcam that night. There have been claims that one of the officers involved believed it was two college kids pranking drivers that night with a gorilla suit, but this has never been proven. Nor has it been proven that it was a Sasquatch. The explanation for what was caught on camera is still unknown to this day.

“ In Japanese folklore, there are a number of spirits rumored to appear in bathrooms. Some reach out from the insides of toilets; others whisper through the stall walls. Each one has its own grim story and particular behavior, but they all share a connection to the bathroom. “

Video
youtube
so here’s something, it’s been on the internet for a couple years, but i just heard about it.
This guy has a youtube channel where he just posts videos of him exploring old abandoned mines in the western united states. In 2013, he visited the Horton Mine in Nevada. Due to flooding in the cave he can’t go very far in, but he does come across a section with heavy chains hanging from the ceiling, he also mentions in the notes on the video that he felt as if something sinister was watching him and didn’t want him going any further into the tunnel (~1:42 in the video.) Despite this, he does move a little further into the tunnel, (2:25 in the video) where a chain off in the distance can be seen swinging back and forth despite the fact that others right next to it are completely still. By then, he’s thoroughly creeped out and leaves the cave.
He doesn’t return until a year later, when he filmed this video:
youtube
He explores for a while, showing off parts of the old mine, until around 7:40 in the video when he prepares to leave and suddenly hears something very strange. Have a listen in the video yourself, because it’s unclear what it is that he’s hearing, though it seems to be the sound of a radio broadcast? or maybe a walkie-talkie sounding thing? Some sort of announcement echoing through the cave? As he hurredly leaves the cave, he says that he felt a cold blast of air right before the noises started. To me, it sounds like a woman’s voice, then a man’s voice, then the woman again. And then it all ends with the sound of a siren-- a European siren, however, not typical of one used in the United States (as far as I know anyway.)

The Mather Mine Disaster
Mather, PA is a small former coal mining town in Greene County. On May 19, 1928, this little town was rocked by what would later be determined to be the seventh worst mining disaster in US history, and second worst in Pennsylvania. 195 men died in the mine shafts when dust and methane gas were ignited by an arc in a nearby mine train battery. Today, the ghosts of these miners are said to still be walking the streets of Mather.
The paranormal activity is reported all over town, but mostly in the town center, where a small church, post office, and former general store and schoolhouse are located. Just before dawn, the sounds of gravel crunching under feet and men’s voices can be heard in this otherwise quiet area. Near the old schoolhouse, people have reported the sounds of children playing. Many of the older homes have basement showers left over from the town’s mining days, and many residents have reported their showers turning on by themselves, or have at least heard the sounds of people taking a shower. Many believe this town-wide activity is caused by spirits of the died miners, who still get up each morning to walk to work.

This picture was taken by Photographer Oren Jeffries while he was exploring some un-mapped area of the Grand Caverns(Virginia). Jeffries liked to use long exposure technique to catch anything without any light what so ever. While he was setting up for his snaps, he heard something in the distance which spooked him. He set off one of his Blitzlicht flashes he used for taking traditional photos underground and ran. In a later interview he gave to a local newspaper, he said that he saw “humanoid” figures looking back at him. A few days after that he went back with a few friends to retreive his box camera which had this picture recorded inside of it.
