The Brown Lady of Raynham

The Brown Lady of Raynham is one of the most famous ghostly stories known.There is no proof till date to complete disapprove her existence

The Brown Lady of Raynham is the ghost of Lady Townshend who was married to Charles Townshend, a man known for his fiery temper. When Charles learned of his wife's infidelity, he punished her by imprisoning her in the family estate at Raynham Hall, located in Norfolk, England. He never allowed her to leave its premises, not even to see her children. She remained there until her death, when she was an old woman.

In the following centuries after her death many reports about sighting her ghost in Raynham Hall came out. In 19th century King George saw her when he was staying at Raynham Hall. He claimed that he saw her standing beside his bed wearing a brown dress. he also described her face was pale and her hair was untidy. In 1835 Colonel Loftus also saw her when he was at the house for Christmas holidays. He saw her when he was walking to his room late night .He saw her standing in the hall in front of him. He again saw her next week, this time he could see her more clearly. He described her as wearing a brown dress. And he said he was horrified to see her eyes gouged out. After Colonel Loftus incident more reports came out

Some years later the Colonel Loftus incident novelist Captain Federick Marryat decided to spend the night in the room where the ghost was seen but he couldn’t see her. but few days later he saw her when he was coming downstairs with his two friends. They saw her carrying a lantern and it moved past them as they were hiding behind a door. He said she grinned at them and he suddenly came out from behind of the door and shot her with his gun but the bullet passed through her.

Most notable of the incident occurred at September 1936, two photographers Captain Provand and Indre Shira were assigned at Raynham hall by “Country Life” magazine.Shira explains the incident as follows

"Captain Provand took one photograph while I flashed the light. He was focusing for another exposure; I was standing by his side just behind the camera with the flashlight pistol in my hand, looking directly up the staircase. All at once I detected an ethereal veiled form coming slowly down the stairs. Rather excitedly, I called out sharply: 'Quick, quick, there's something.' I pressed the trigger of the flashlight pistol. After the flash and on closing the shutter, Captain Provand removed the focusing cloth from his head and turning to me said: 'What's all the excitement about?”

When they developed they found the ghostly woman and the picture was published in Country Life on December 16, 1936(The picture shown alongside)

Till now there is nothing to prove that the brown lady of Raynham herself isn't real.

She had a massive bossom, thick arms, legs, and fingers and was covered with hair. She was named Zana by the hunters. She was so violent so that the hunters had to keep her in a cage for some years and food tossed to her. Later she became human friendly and started doing some simple tasks like grinding corn. She had an incredible fortitude against cold and couldn’t stand in a heated room.

She enjoyed herself gorging herself on grapes from the vine and had a weakness on wines, often drinking so heavily she would sleep for hours. Colin Wilson points out in The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries, this is likely how she became mother of many children to different fathers. Her children died usually when she washed them in freezing water. She expected them to withstand the cold like her but being half homosapiens they were killed. The villagers later took her children away from her and brought them up like their own. Unlike their mother they had ability to communicate

Monster

In 1973 several people had reported seeing a hair mud covered monster in Murphysboror, Illinois, which is a small town on banks of Big Muddy river.

This creature seems to be a living 'swamp thing’. In documented sighting reports the monster is described as a lumbering hulk, roughly 6 feet tall and wide, like a very big boned man. The creature is covered with fur that is a dirty brownish color, the fur is always covered and matted with mud and pieces of plants and leaves. The creature appears to weigh around 200 lbs. The creature’s eyes glow a pinkish-red color. It is reported to have a foul smell

Here are some encounters of the monster which is to be noted

A man who owned a junkyard near the river often smelled something very rotten or foul.
When searching for the source of the odor he sighted the creature. The creature stood there looking at the man a few seconds then turned and lumbered away towards the river. This same man, smelled the odor a couple more times, and again each time he encountered the creature.

In another encounter, two men who were coon hunting with some dogs, trailed the creature to an old barn. Standing outside the barn, the men said they heard the most horrible sounding growling imaginable. Refusing to enter the barn, one of the men threw a dog in, through an open door. No sooner was the dog thrown in, when it suddenly howled and ran back out. The dog ran into the nearby woods, with the men following.

A couple sitting in their car on June, 1973 heard strange sounds from woods nearby and then they saw a monster, 8feets tall, which has its body covered with brown hair and mud coming out of the woods and it was coming straight at them. The couple drove off and reported the incident to police

Worked of a fairground nearby saw the monster at some tethered ponies. Two teenagers claimed to have seen the monster very close and they claimed that the monster had a foul smell of river slime.

Self Burning Humans

On January 6, 1980, police and forensic specialists discovered a man’s body burned from a living room of a house in Blackwood Ebb Vales, Wales, United Kingdom. The body was almost fully burned, but the strangest factor was that armchair on which he sat was hardly damaged. Also nearby plastic objects were completely untouched by fire. Even though the fire didn’t damage the nearby objects it was so powerful that it burned almost completely the body, also as a note of the fire strength, it left a coating of vaporized flesh on the ceiling of the room. It still remains a mystery how the nearby objects were untouched by such a strong fire.

Strange Coincidence

In 1787, January 25, during the period of Shez revolution in Massachusetts, in Springfield a man named Jabbers from Layton was killed by two bullets during an attack.

The Giant Foot Prints

In 1931, giant foot prints were discovered from Alkali region of Great White Sans in New Mexico. It looked like foot prints of a human being. It was discovered by a government trapper. One Year later the head of Lincoln Forest Dr.Fred Arthur enquired about these footprints. Government Trapper Ellis Right was their guide. They discovered 13 foot prints from a hill in the valley north of San Andres Mountains.

The foot prints had strange sizes. It looked like that of human beings. It was16 to 22 inches long and 8 to 12 inches wide. There was 5 feet difference between each footstep and 2 feet width between two legs.

More excavations were done in 1972, 74 and 81.When the study was first done the footprints seemed 2 and half inches deep. But in 1974 the footprints were standing 1 and half inches above ground level.

The foot prints was left by a heavy weighted animal and the area where its foot landed was hardened by the force and so it remained and area around it was swept by rain and wind. In 1981 it was seen more inches above ground.

Nobody had doubt in it was footprints of an animal. Some say it was 10000 years old and was foot prints of Mammoth but there is no solid proof to prove it.


But most of researches believe it’s the foot prints of two feeted animals. So it cant be considered as that of mammoth. These foot prints are still preserved for further studies but it still remains a mystery

A Rebirth

Jnanathilaka Khandevithana was a baby girl born in 1956 in mid Srilanka.She started troubling her parents when she was just 1 year old.She started to indicate her parents that she had another mother and father. She made it more specific when she was two. She told her parents that the father and mother she was telling about was from her previous birth.

She told them that her previous family lived in a village called Thalavakale which is 16 kilometers from the place where Jnanathilaka and her family lived. She even told the names of her brothers and sisters in her previous birth. She told them that she was a boy in her birth before.

A religious leader heard about this and he found the family which she was telling. A boy called Thilakaratna has died 15 months before the birth of Jnanathilaka.In 1961 they brought Jnanathilaka to her previous family

Jnanthilaka identified 7 members of the family also identified 2 village members from the crowd.She also identified her teacher of her previous birth in first sight. She even had dislikes and likes same as that of Thilakaratna (her name in previous birth).Both of them liked blue color

Thilakaratnas parents told that he had always a girlish character whereas Jnanaratnas parents told that she had a boyish character. Also Thilakaratna had died falling from a height,Jnanaratna was always afraid of heights.

Nobody could find any relationship or contact between families involved in this case. So there is only one possibility that is Jnanaratna was telling the truth

The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. the Devil's Triangle) is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area. Rosenberg claims that in 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8,000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.

Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers. Strange magnetic fields and oceanic flatulence (methane gas from the bottom of the ocean) are favorites among the technically-minded. Weather (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high waves, currents, etc.) bad luck, pirates, explosive cargoes, incompetent navigators, and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical investigators.

There are thoeries explaining the gravitational force of earth is at the maximum around this area.There are also stories stating th area is place of temporory residence for Aliens.There are diffenet explanations given to the strange occurence in Bermuda triangle

The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes [Flight 19] vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical theory as to why they vanished is that lead pilot Lt. Charles Taylor’s compass failed.

There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining.The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives.

But Bermuda Triangle still remains a mystery and is one of the most famous mysteries presently known.
