Apparition (1207-1273, Konya, Turkey)

Kira Hatun, the wife of the great Turkish thinker; Mevlana, witnessed her husband encountering “6 imposing men” who came in from a “door” that strangely appeared on the wall of the house. According to Kira; the men carried roses in their hands and presented them to Mevlana. Then all began to pray. When the prayer session ended, the six men vanished in plain sight. Kira took some of the roses and asked her gardener about the origin of these flowers. Amazed, he said that these were invaluable Indian roses. (Some speculate that these visitors could have been from Agartha; reputed to be an ancient mystical underground civilization in India).

Light Being (November 10th, 2014, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico)

A Mexican man by the name of Ismael Carrillo was filming his young son’s game of baseball, and only noticed that his film had captured a bizarre and diminutive mystery being after rewatching the clip. The figure is around 2-3ft in height, judging from the scale given by the other children present, and is appears to be translucent and wearing a white gown-like garment. It has arms (or similar appendages) that also appear to be covered in fabric or cloth, and strange surges of light or energy can be seen emitting from the entity’s body. As you can see in the GIF-format videos above, the so-called surges of light could just as easily be misidentified reflections of a tin foil-like cloak being worn by the little thing. However, the more that I look at the vidoes, the more it seems that the entity is actually two-dimensional, and appears to turn at one point in the video, revealing a very thin body. This fluctuation in shape could also be due to the entity either being an artifact on the film itself - something like a scratch on the lens - or something non-physical like a ghost or apparition.

Dancing Spirits (1973, Nympsfield, Gloucestershire)

A teenager standing on this hill looked down into a clearing in the woodland to see women in period costume. They appeared to be wearing very tall cone hats and dancing. The women vanished without warning. The lack of information given on this report doesn’t necessarily that it is a fakery, but it also makes it incredibly difficult to trace back to its original source and properly research. This article is acting as a sort of placemarker, so that I can come back to it later when I (or maybe an intrepid reader of this blog) finds the source, or at the very least another reference to the story outside of paranormaldatabase.

Deva (June 1922, Lake District, Cumbria)

While visiting the Lake District, Cumbria, in June 1922, theosophist Geoffrey Hodson (who witnessed numerous other entities, some of which he illustrated, as shown above) claimed to have witnessed an astonishing being that he believed to have been a deva or nature spirit. According to his description of what he had seen, it was an enormous bat-like entity, brilliant crimson in colour with a human face and burning piercing eyes that fixed themselves upon him as its wings stretched out over the mountainside, before sinking into the hillside and disappearing. It later reappeared before him, but now in much smaller form, this time standing a ‘mere’ 3-4 m high.

Apparition (January 2008, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia)

L. Davis (a witness involved in other encounters) reported seeing a dull, darkish grey creature of medium height glide from the lounge to the bathroom in her mother's house. She said that it was not a 'friendly' being and that it became aggressive when it had been spotted, and then continually made its presence known in the house for about 3 days before disappearing. The witness says that she was 5 months pregnant at the time, but the foetus disappeared - bizarrely. She remembers having a strange dream where she gave birth in an open paddock on a medical table during the day. Apparently there were many bizarre humanoids standing around her. They took the newly-born baby girl away for some time, before letting the witness nurse her for a while, and then took her away again. She didn't realise that something was wrong until a few days after the dream. This encounter was originally found on this website http://www.iwasabducted.com/ufoboard but the site has since been taken down. I found the case itself through Albert Rosales’ website http://iraap.org/rosales/2008.htm.

Apparition (January 3rd, 2008, Warnham, England)

After watching a late-night film on the TV, the witness (who was supposedly involved in other cases) retired to bed after 12:30 am. She soon fell asleep but was then woken up by a strange dragging sound outside of her block of flats. She listened, trying to decipher the sound, and eventually turned on her side to free her right ear in an attempt to hear better. This didn't work, and she decided to climb out of bed to observe the source of the sound through the window on her left. As she opened her  eyes, however, she saw a strange apparition on the left-hand corner of the foot of her bed. It resembled a glowing young lady wearing a bright white shiny gown. The apparition stood there - looking at the witness with what she could only describe as 'pure and clear' eyes. A silvery glow emanated from its very essence and extended to a few inches around it, but was confined to its body and didn't light up the room. No communication took place between the entity and the witness, neither telepathic nor verbal, and so the witness expressed that she was confused as to what was happening. As they looked at each other, the witness could still hear the strange sound that had woken her up, and thought that the two must be connected. This event lasted for about 30-60 seconds, and then the being simply vanished. The witness lay in bed for a couple of minutes after this, trying to comprehend what had just happened. She decided to finally see what was happening outside, and so sheleft her bed to see that a can of Coca Cola had been blown about on the tarred road outside, and the noise ceased when the can hit a curb. After this, the witness went back to sleep. This case could have been an apparitional entity of some kind, but it seems more likely that it was a hypnagogic hallucination.
