It feels like an eternity since I last
made a good creepy video, especially one
involving unsolved
mysteries. So, from a lighthouse where
all of the keepers vanished under very
strange circumstances to a man who
visited a cave near the notorious Nellis
Air Force base in the middle of the
Nevada desert and never returned. Here
are five of some of the creepiest
unsolved mysteries I can find. So, as
always, hit those lights, kick back, and
enjoy the Ellen Moore
Lighthouse. In 1895, construction
started on a lighthouse on one of the
uninhabited Flannon Islands in Scotland.
The lighthouse was completed in 1899 and
was lit on December the 7th, being
manned by three keepers, Thomas
Marshall, James Dukat, and Donald
MacArthur, who were responsible for
maintaining the paraffin powered light.
But in the middle of December 1900, just
a year after the men had been stationed
there, the light went out. At the time,
the weather was treacherous, and it
wasn't until Boxing Day that a ship
captained by James Harvey and carrying
replacement lightkeeper Joseph Moore was
able to reach the island. After numerous
reports of the lights failure, as the
ship reached the landing platform not
far from the lighthouse, they were
surprised that none of the keepers were
waiting for their arrival. Harvey blew
his horn and sent up a warning flare to
alert the keepers, but there was no
response. Joseph rode ashore, but as he
reached the lighthouse, he realized
something was very wrong. The lighthouse
door was unlocked, and one of the three
oiled skin jackets was still hanging on
its peg. In the kitchen was halfeaten
food and overturned chairs, and even the
wall clock had stopped. There was no
sign of the three keepers, so Mo
returned to the ship, and Captain Harvey
ordered a search of the island. An
official telegram was sent to the
mainland and further searches of the
island were conducted, but nothing
further was found apart from some
unusual entries in the lighthouse log.
On the 12th of December, Marshall wrote,
"Severe winds the likes of which I've
never seen before in 20 years." He also
noted that principal keeper Ducat had
been very quiet, and MacArthur, known to
be a particularly tough man, had been
crying. On the 13th, it stated that all
three men were praying as the storm
raged. The final entry was two days
later on the 15th of December, which
simply read, "Storm ended. See calm. God
is over all." What was strange about
this was that according to weather
reports, the storm did not hit the
island until the 17th of December, 5
days after Marshall's first mention of
it. So, what had happened to the three
men? Well, there are a few theories.
Ropes were found strewn on the rocks by
the landing platform. These were ropes
that were used on the supply crate. So,
was it possible the men tried to
retrieve the ropes after they came free
from the supply crate and were swept
away by a huge wave. The problem with
this is bodies lost at sea will usually
wash up, but none of the three bodies
ever have. And if they did go out to the
lighthouse, then why did one of them
leave behind his coat if it was severe
weather? These were experienced
lighthouse keepers and knew what they
were doing.
Others have suggested one of the men
killed the other two, but this does not
hold up well. After the unexplained
event, the many keepers who inhabited
the Ellen Moore after this tragic
incident often reported strange voices
in the wind and swear they were calling
out the names of the lighthouse keepers.
It was later found out that the original
land the lighthouse was built on was
named after the sixth century bishop who
built a small chapel there. This chapel
was very feared from the local shepherds
who said that spirits haunted the area.
This led to the thoughts that the
lighthouse keepers were scared by some
paranormal force, possibly causing them
to flee the safety of their lighthouse
and meet their death in some unknown
way. Whatever the cause, the
disappearance of these three men remains
a complete mystery and means the
Flanagan Island, its creepy chapel
ruins, and its now automated lighthouse
are still talked about to this
day. The exorcism of Latoya Ammons. This
next story was published in the Indie
Star in January 2014 and to date is the
most read article ever to feature in
their newspaper. And after hearing it,
you'll see why. In 2011, Latoya Ammon,
her three children, and her mother moved
into a rented house in Gary, Indiana.
And from the start, they were plagued by
huge black flies that kept returning
even after supposedly being
exterminated. The family then started
hearing noises coming from the basement.
And on one occasion, Ammon's 12-year-old
daughter was seen levitating unconscious
above her bed. After seeking advice from
the church and attempting to rid the
house of evil using a Bible, things
supposedly got a whole lot worse. So
bad, in fact, the children were often
hospitalized after falling unconscious
while apparently being possessed and
chanting satanic verses. On one
occasion, after two of her sons were
taken to the hospital, a nurse and CPS
worker apparently witnessed one of them
being moved by an unseen force. Police
and medical staff were concerned that
Latoya had some kind of mental disorder
and was encouraging her children to
behave this way, but she fiercely denies
this. Unable to explain the children's
behavior, officials took emergency steps
to take custody of them, saying they
were experiencing spiritual and
emotional distress. A Catholic priest
was called in and did an intense
blessing on the house to expel bad
spirits and allegedly performed three
exorcisms on
Latoya. All of this was legitimately
performed with the police and
authorities being informed, although
none of them witnessed the actual
exorcisms. 6 months after her children
were removed, they returned to their
family who by now had moved to
Indianapolis and have since settled into
their new home. Ammons maintains that it
was not psychologists that resolved her
problems, but God. She also said, "When
you hear something like this, do not
assume it's not real because I've lived
it. I know it's real." After the article
had been published, the original house
was purchased by ghost hunter Zack
Beans, who arranged for the family to
return to the house as part of a
documentary he was making, but he has
since had the house demolished.
There's obviously a lot more to this
story than what I can fit in in this
video, and the original article is a
very interesting read. So, was this just
another money-making venture, or was
Latoya Ammons possessed by an unknown
force that was terrorizing her family?
What do you
think? The moving coffins of the Chase
family vault. Christ Church Parish
Church in Barbados has a checkered past.
The current building is the fifth church
built for the parish after the previous
four were damaged by floods and
hurricanes and in the case of the fourth
burnt to the ground. The present church
was built in 1935 and retained three of
the walls from the burntout ruin.
However, it is not the church that is
mysterious, but the graveyard to be more
precise, the Chase vault and its
mysterious moving coffins.
The story starts in 1808 when the Chase
family purchased a vault in the Christ
Church graveyard for the burial of their
infant child, Mary Anne Marie. The vault
was made of concrete and coral and was
entered via stone steps and sealed by a
huge slab of marble. However, the tomb
was not vacant and already held the body
of a lady called Mrs. Godard, who had
been buried there the year before. The
Chase family thought it was
disrespectful to move her wooden coffin,
so left it in the vault alongside their
daughter's lead casket. Sadly, just four
years later, a second daughter also died
at the age of four, supposedly starving
herself after being abused by her
father. Her lead casket was placed
alongside her sister in the vault. Just
a month after her death, her father,
Thomas Chase, committed suicide. Thomas
was prepared to be placed in the vault
alongside his daughters, but when the
vault was opened, instead of the neat
row of coffins that had been left after
the previous funeral, just godards were
still in place. The other two caskets
had been moved and the tomb had been
ransacked. The devastated family feared
the vault had been targeted by grave
robbers, so arranged to have the caskets
put neatly back into their original
position before laying Thomas' 240lb
casket alongside them. The huge marble
stone was again rolled back to seal the
vault. The next death was 11-year-old
Charles. Again, the vault was opened
only to find the chase coffins displaced
and tossed around. Although the seal of
the tomb had not been tampered with,
again, the coffins were returned to
their original position, and news
traveled fast, so the public started to
take an interest in the tombs with
reports of spooked horses and shrieks
being heard from within the vault.
Between 1816 and 1819, two more family
members were laid to rest, and each time
the original chase caskets were
rearranged when the tomb was opened. The
governor of Barbados had also been told
of the story and had the tomb inspected
and sealed with mortar. He also had the
floor of the tomb dusted with a fine
white sand to capture evidence of anyone
breaking in. After 8 months, he returned
and externally everything was in order.
But when the door was opened, the
caskets were again thrown around the
vault. This time, Mary Anne's coffin had
been thrown with such force that its
corner had broken off. This was the
final straw, and all of the bodies in
the vault were removed and buried
separately, finally allowing them to
rest in peace. As for the vault, well,
it has remained empty and open ever
since. As always with these handed down
stories, some versions differ slightly,
and there are some who think that it's
just an urban myth. However, there was
definitely a Chase family living in the
area at the time, and it seems that
whatever happened to them in life meant
they could not rest harmoniously in
death. The only one unaffected was the
unrelated Mrs. Godard, whose wooden
inch. Jeffrey
Daniels. In November 1997, a man calling
himself Jeffrey Daniels checked into the
Super 8 Motel in Aken County, South
Carolina. On the first night of his
stay, he ordered a pizza but failed to
answer his door when delivery was
attempted. Staff became concerned when
they spotted the do not disturb notice
pinned on his door that had the message,
"I'm not responsible for the
consequences handwritten on the back.
When they decided to enter the room, it
was unusually neat and tidy. A Super
Nintendo was on." A jacket was hanging
neatly on a coat rack and brand new
clothes were neatly folded in the
dresser. In the bathroom was toothpaste,
nail clippers, and cotton buds lined up
neatly on the vanity shelf. And on the
floor was the dead body of Jeffrey
Daniels. It was thought he had killed
himself sometime between the 10th and
the 13th of November, meaning he was
already dead when the pizza man knocked
his door. However, this was not a
straightforward suicide. Investigations
revealed many unanswered questions. The
biggest one, who was this man, as he was
certainly not Jeffrey Daniel.
Motel workers recalled that he had no
identification on him, telling them that
he wanted to leave all that behind and
had prepaid for his room with cash. It
was later discovered that he had used
the name Jeffrey Daniels during previous
weeks and had also given a fake social
security number and New York address
when he was hospitalized after a failed
suicide attempt in another
motel. The real Jeffrey Daniels did not
know this man and was alive and well.
The Jeffrey Daniels imposter was
described as 35 to 40 years old and
around 6'2, weighing 220 lb. He had
scars on his face and had longish brown
hair with brown
eyes. He was also a smoker and maybe had
stomach problems as indigestion tablets
were found in his room along with
prescription medication with the labels
peeled off the bottles supposedly to
hide his true identity. The coroner
noted he was a well-groomed, wellspoken
man and was obviously concerned about
his appearance. It was revealed that in
a previous suicide attempt, he built a
tent out of cellophane and tried to
suffocate himself as well as slashing
his wrists. The hospital he was sent to
later said he was unwilling to accept
help. The method of his successful
suicide was never made public, so we may
never know how exactly he died.
To date, this man is still unidentified,
and it makes you think, why did he not
want to be named or identified? When you
hear the heartfelt appeals from family
looking for missing loved ones, perhaps
this man could be one of them, as this
case has not had a huge amount of
publicity, and the identity of Jeffrey
Daniels and his cause of death remains [Music]

unsolved. Kenny V. This is a strange
one. 47year-old Kenny Vich was an
experienced hiker and his passion was
exploring the vast Nevada desert. He
described himself as a daredevil and
cowboy who enjoyed playing with
rattlesnakes and his pet tarantula and
his disappearance is one of the
strangest I've heard about. It starts
with a comment he left on a YouTube
video called son of an Area 51
technician. This ain't nothing. I'm a
long-distance hiker. One time during one
of my hikes out by Nellis Air Force
Base, I found a hidden cave. The
entrance to the cave was shaped like a
perfect capital M. I always enter every
cave I find. But as I began to enter
this particular cave, my whole body
began to vibrate. The closer I got to
the cave entrance, the worse the
vibrating became. Suddenly, I became
very scared and hightailed it out of
there. That was one of the strangest
things that ever happened to me. His
comment generated a lot of interest and
debate and some people suggested that he
provide proof of this cave. While that
is exactly what Kenny did, he ventured
out into the desert and recorded his
trip, although he was unable to locate
the mysterious M cave. Despite this, he
uploaded the video to his YouTube
channel. Again, this video generated a
lot of interest, and Kenny seemed
determined to make a third trip in
search of the cave. At the time, he
posted, "I will have my 9 millimeter
with me this time, just in case. It's a
10-hour hike, no trails, very dangerous
terrain." Despite pleas from people who
realized the potential danger Kenny was
putting himself into just to prove the
cave existed, he seemed determined to
find it and prove his claims. On
November the 10th, 2014, he headed out
alone to the unforgiving desert in
search of the elusive cave for the last
time. After he failed to come home, his
worried family and friends alerted the
authorities and a search party was sent
out. They found his phone near a disused
vertical mineshaft and it was assumed
Kenny had fallen to his death. However,
after an extensive search of the mine
and surrounding area, nothing was found.
The most likely explanation was that
Kenny met one of the many hazards
associated with the terrain, possibly
losing his footing somewhere, becoming
dehydrated, or even being attacked by a
wild animal.
As always, there are plenty of theories
about what happened to Kenny. One of
them is that he inevitably stumbled upon
something he shouldn't have, aka the
strange M cave. And as a result,
something happened to him. There's also
speculation that Kenny faked his own
death, as at the time of his
disappearance, his business venture was
failing. He was unemployed and was
spiraling into debt. But in another
twist, his girlfriend posted this
extraordinary comment on his MK video,
suggesting that he had committed
suicide, which many found very strange
and eerie. It's a long comment, so I'll
break it down. I am the girlfriend that
Kenny spoke of in the video. I want you
to know that I do not think Kenny had an
accident. I believe he committed
suicide. He battled depression for many
years and would not take medication or
see a doctor. He quit his job a little
more than a year before he disappeared.
His father committed suicide when Kenny
was in his early 20ies. He asked me what
I would think of him if he committed
suicide. He also said if he decided to
do it, no one will ever find me. It
would be easy to do something like this
in our desert with a number of natural
caves and
mines. They found his car in the area I
told them it would be. They did find a
cell phone by the minehaft in the video.
The mine shaft was only about a 4-hour
hike from his car. It is my feeling that
he left it behind so he could not be
tracked from the GPS in it. He also did
not take his video camera with him on
his solo
hike. As you can imagine, there are
those who believe he did not commit
suicide and that the M cave holds the
answers to what happened to Kenny. The
reason for this is the cave was
supposedly near the Nellis Air Force
base which has a long history of
conspiracy stories ranging from there
being an extensive network of tunnels
beneath it housing secret research
projects and classified military
secrets. Then there are others who
believe there is an underground base
protecting aliens who are being used for
experiments and some say the cave could
have been a portal to another dimension.
Another thought along these lines is
that the cave produced some strange
echoes and frequencies which can have a
profound effect on the human body. The
frequency of 110 hertz can be found at
certain depths and are thought to
influence human senses even if the
person is not aware of it. So it makes
you wonder if this is what Kenny
experienced the first time he discovered
the cave and the same thing drew him
back in with tragic consequences.
Whatever happened to Kenny, his
departure has left his family and
friends devastated. So, if anyone can
shed any light on his disappearance or
the mysterious M cave, then I am sure
they would appreciate any suggestions and
and
support. So, that's five creepy unsolved
mysteries. Thanks for watching and I'll
see you in the next one. [Music]
