Latest Paranormal News, Sightings & Supernatural Stories
From a centuries-old Gloucestershire inn where a long-dead child is said to still rock her pram, to the windswept peaks of Wyoming where unexplained orbs dance beyond anyone's explanation, this week's roundup drags us across two continents in search of the uncanny.
A Texas town lies awake to booms that rattle windows and vanish before the Air Force can claim them, while a drinks giant has put hard cash behind the oldest cryptid chase of them all.
Whether it's old ghosts, new lights in the sky, or legends old enough to earn a corporate bounty, the unexplained keeps finding fresh ways to unsettle us. Welcome to this week's Haunted Headlines — where the unexplained is never far away.
Ghost Girl Rocks Pram At England's 'Most Haunted' Inn: 'I Don't Know The Answer'
CCTV footage from the Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, appears to show a baby's pram rocking on its own in the pub's playroom, with manager Beth Marsh, 27, attributing the movement to the spirit of a child. The 800-year-old building, long dubbed the most haunted in England after the discovery of children's skeletal remains on the site decades ago, has built its reputation on reports like these, and Marsh says as many as 95 per cent of guests report something strange during their stay.
The incident, caught in the room nicknamed “the den” on Friday 28th August, was spotted first by a cleaner before Marsh reviewed the footage herself. Sceptics have pointed to uneven floorboards as the likelier culprit, but Marsh insists she tested that theory by jumping on the spot near the pram without it so much as creaking. “I've experienced some weird things, like doors closing on their own with no one else around,” she said. “Some things I don't know the answer to.”
Drinks Giant Offers $1 Million For Proof Bigfoot Is Real: 'Chasing Bold Experiences'
Hard Mountain Dew has launched a “Bigfoot Bounty” campaign offering $1 million to anyone who can produce verified proof that the elusive Pacific Northwest cryptid exists. Entrants must submit at least four distinct forms of supporting evidence, anything from footprints, hair samples and thermal imaging to audio recordings or photographs, before the contest closes on 30th November.
Submissions will be judged against criteria drawn up with Bryce Johnson, a Bigfoot researcher and docuseries producer, lending the marketing stunt an unexpected veneer of cryptozoological rigour. “Hard Mountain Dew has always been about chasing bold experiences, and Bigfoot Bounty takes that mindset to the next level,” said senior brand director Erica Taylor. Should nobody claim the grand prize, the company says 100 randomly chosen entrants will instead be compensated with the cash equivalent of a 12-pack.

Glowing Orbs Return To Wyoming Mountain: 'I Have No Explanation'
Nearly two dozen glowing orbs have reportedly been seen rising over Cedar Mountain near Cody, Wyoming, for the second time in a year, moving independently of one another, pausing mid-air, and apparently responding when witnesses shone laser pointers at them. Local resident Jezriah Krubeck, who first documented the lights last winter, says they returned for two to three nights running in late September. “They would interact with each other... they would stop,” he said. “I had a little laser that I'd shine on them, and they would stop.”
Gold miner Casey Edwards reported a separate but similar encounter near the Medicine Wheel in the Bighorn Mountains, describing lights that lingered for almost three hours. Richard Beckwith, director of Wyoming's Mutual UFO Network chapter, reviewed footage of both events and found no conventional explanation. “I have no explanation for the objects recorded in the video,” he said, noting the orbs showed none of the navigation beacons expected of aircraft or drones.
Mystery Booms Shake Texas Town For Weeks: 'It Rattled All The Windows'
Residents of Winters, Texas, have spent the past month enduring a string of unexplained sonic booms loud enough to rattle windows across the town, with the sounds often followed by the distant drone of aircraft nobody can identify. One blast was loud enough to prompt a brief precautionary lockdown at the local elementary school. “It sounded like an explosion. It was really loud,” said resident Ronnie McWhirter. “It rattled all the windows in my house.”
City administrator Kay O'Dell says complaints have poured in from across the community, all describing the same jarring experience, yet nobody has been able to visually confirm what is causing them. Nearby Dyess Air Force Base, a natural suspect given its proximity, has denied any responsibility for the booms. With the source, and the aircraft residents hear afterwards, still unidentified, the people of Winters are left listening nervously for the next one.
From rocking prams to booming skies, this week's stories are a reminder that the line between the explainable and the uncanny is thinner than we'd like to believe. Haunted Headlines — your weekly paranormal report by Paranormal Portal UK.
