Reportedly – the video posted on March 30, 2012, on YouTube – was taken outside a Dupont factory in Massachusetts. A user called planetcheck wrote that the woman, named Gertrude Jones, was his great grandmother and that she remembers that day very clearly.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she grabbed her camera and snapped a quick photo of the creature. What was it? It had features of both a bear and an ape, two animals that can be dangerous in the wild. She alerted the authorities, but the creature seemed to have vanished into thin air. What was this mysterious creature spotted in this Florida backyard?

He seems way too casual about his pet lion, and we can only imagine how his neighbors might react to this. They’d probably be too afraid to tell him anything! One thing’s for sure, we’d be terrified to see some guy walking down our street with a fully grown lion!

The tire is intact and there’s no way this could have been put over the tree or underneath, due to the deep roots. So, we can only assume that the tire was there before the tree started growing. We can’t wait to hear your theory behind this enigma!

Could this be an ancient species of wild bird never heard of before? Some believe the photo was edited over time, but it appears too strange to be fake.

Upon showing the image to the priest at the church, the mystery was solved – the woman had unknowingly been joined in her devotions by the spirit of a well-known healer who was said to haunt the premises. Thankfully, it appears that not all spirits are out to cause harm!

The image shows a darkly dressed figure standing next to the altar of the church. The figure is wearing a cowl. What made it even more spooky was that there were no people inside when the photo was taken.

At first glance, it looks like he is playing the guitar for his family, but if you look closely, you will be amazed to see him suspended by his chin on an exercise bar. How he is able to do this without suffocating is a mystery. It looks like he must have been training for this all his life. Truly a remarkable feat!

His attempt has left us puzzled as to how he managed to get himself inside the swirly ladder in the first place, and we’re sure he was hoping that what goes down must come up! Unfortunately, it looks like he may need to enlist the help of the fire department to get out of this one!

Taking the photo, the girl’s father was certain there was no one else around. But when he developed the film, he noticed a space traveler standing behind her!
