Japanese Taxi Drivers report mysterious encounters with ‘Ghost Passengers’

The tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 became one of the biggest natural disasters in the world with a claimed up to 19,000 people were killed and hundreds seriously injured by a physical disability.

After the disaster reports of strange and unexplained events began to increase in the affected areas.

Taxi drivers in Ishinomaki, north-east Japan, have reported experiencing mysterious encounters in the wake of the devastating 2011 tsunami and earthquake.

They have pulled over to pick up a passenger, started the meter and asked for an address, but while driving to the destination, the passenger had suddenly disappeared.

According to news site ajw.asahi a taxi driver working in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, which had been devastated by the tsunami a few months earlier, had a mysterious encounter.

A woman who was wearing a coat climbed in his cab near Ishinomaki Station. The woman directed him, “Please go to the Minamihama (district).” The driver asked her, “The area is almost empty. Is it OK?” Then, the woman said in a shivering voice, “Have I died?”

Surprised at the question, the driver looked back at the rear seat. No one was there.

This incident is not only experienced by one taxi driver, another taxi driver told of an unexplainable occurrence.

According to this driver, a man who looked to be in his 20’s got in his taxi. When the driver looked into the rear-view mirror, his passenger was pointing toward the front.

The driver repeatedly asked the man for his destination. Then, the passenger replied, “Hiyoriyama" (mountain). When the taxi arrived there, however, the man had disappeared.

Yuka Kudo, a Tohoku Gakuin University senior majoring in sociology interviewed and asked more than 100 taxi drivers “Did you have any unusual experiences after the disaster?” and despite many ignored her, seven drivers recounted their mysterious experiences to her.

The seven drivers' accounts cannot be easily dismissed as simple illusions. That is because if a passenger climbed in their taxi, the driver started the meter, which is recorded.

As the "ghosts" the drivers encountered were all youthful, it is believed they could be the spirits of victims of the 2011 disaster.

What impressed Kudo was that the drivers did not have any fear toward their ghost passengers, but held them in reverence. They regarded the encounters as important experiences to be cherished.

While it may be easy to dismiss these incidents off as ghost stories, psychiatrists have identified “grief hallucinations” as a fairly common reaction to bereavement, and NYU neurologist Oliver Sacks noted that hallucinations can help people cope with loss.

Mum films ghost in cot next to her sleeping daughter

Jade Yates, from Victoria, Australia, was watching her daughter Ruby sleep on her baby monitor when she noticed what she believed to be two spirits next her sleeping daughter.

Jade who took a video of her baby monitor, which was filming her daughter Ruby in bed, uploaded the clip to Facebook where it was shared nearly 23,000 times, wrote:

What I see is a baby older than Ruby, as it's able to sit up and stand up, and an adult attending to my daughter.

Fair to say I won't be sleeping very well tonight.

Who believes in ghosts? I didn't until about 5 mins ago.

This is a video through my baby monitor of Ruby in bed, but Ruby is the white sleeping baby in the front top left of the cot, in her room with the door shut and nobody else in there.

You make up your own mind. One freaked out mumma right here.

Mysterious shadow figure walking on clouds captured by plane passenger

Passenger Nick O'Donoghue was on board an EasyJet flight flying back from Austria to Cork when his fellow passengers began to point to a strange phenomenon outside the aircraft.

Mr. O'Donoghue told to the Dailymail: I was gazing out the window and was amazed to see a figure in the distance in front of us and then as we flew closer the bizarre shape of a human-like figure walking along the clouds appeared.

Despite the figure was a bit away in the distance, I was able to watch the shadow figure for about two minutes and took some images of the strange phenomenon before then the aircraft slowly passed it.

To me, the shadow figure looks like a robot-like man or Michelin man but honestly I have no idea what it was, maybe it was just a rare cloud formation, said Nick.

Did Nick captured a rare natural sky phenomenon at 30,000ft or he witnessed something extraordinary, something from another world, that goes beyond the human capacity to understand what it could be?

Note: In the last enlarged and enhanced image of the shadow man, a human face is clearly visible.

Ghostly Brocken Spectre phenomenon on Mount Rainier caught on Film

A Brocken spectre spectre, is the apparently enormous and magnified shadow of an observer, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds opposite the sun. meteorologists call it a glory.

The "spectre" is the shadowy figure - the rainbouw colored glow and rings resulting from the diffraction of light are a glory centered directly opposite the sun at the antisolar point.

The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside or cloud bank, even when seen from an aeroplane.

They are most easily seen when one is riding on the shadow side of an aircraft above the clouds. The ghost can appear to move because of the movement of the cloud layer and variations in density within the cloud.

Video 1: Witness spotted the rare Brocken Spectre phenomenon on top of Mount Rainier last September (2015).

 

Video 2: Another incredible Brocken Spectre phenomenon caught from a plane window above the misty Norwegian hills on December 20, 2015.

Bizarre: Three cars suddenly lifted by mysterious force (Video)

Recently, a security camera captured a bizarre road accident in China. What gone wrong with three vehicles rear lifted up into air?

Is it a cable/wire which has fallen across the road but still attached to a pole on upper left and the truck on right has caught it, causing tension and lifting the cars up before the cable/wire snaps?

Maybe, but I'm trying to understand how the guy on the motorcycle far left doesn't get pulled down and the cars/truck on the right (all but the three cars) didn’t hit the supposed cable/wire too.

If the strange event would have been caused by a cable/wire, then why I can't see the cable/wire in the video… but it lifts 3 cars!

The cause is still under investigation.
