Over the years, the internet has seen its fair share of spooky images. From possible Bigfoot sightings to UFOs in the sky to ghosts haunting the windows of old houses, there’s no shortage of creepy photos.
While many of these images are often easily explained, usually just by camera blur or clever Photoshop work, there are some that seem to defy all logic. Take the case of runner Kay Borleis, who discovered something disturbing in a photo she took during her 100-mile run through the Hawaiian rainforest.
In 2019, Kay participated in the Hawaiian Ultra Running Team’s Trail 100-Mile Endurance Run, which involved completing five laps of a 20-mile loop through dense jungle. She was accompanied by her friend Cassie, who acted as a pacemaker and captured moments during her run.
A photo showing Kay walking along a muddy trail took a surprising turn when she later noticed a strange detail in the background. In a post on Reddit, Kay shared: “My Pacer took this photo. Look closely at the figure to the left of my head. We didn’t see anyone pass by and there were no statues on the trail. It’s NOT photoshopped; this is real”.
When you zoom in on the image, you can see a dark figure in tattered clothing who appears to be watching Kay as he runs. However, Kay insisted that no one was there at the time.
She continued: “According to Hawaiian legend, the ghosts of ancient warriors known as Night Marchers roam the island. Described as ‘murderous shadows’, they haunt the land as the spirits of past fighters and heroes”.
Kay continued her research and found that legends say that anyone who looks at the Night Marchers could face a terrible fate. To avoid this, mortals are advised to lie down in submission to show respect, which could potentially spare them harm.
“Luckily we didn’t encounter the Night Marcher”, she said with relief. Have you ever spotted something unexpected in one of your photos? Share your experiences in the comments!
Single Mom of Four Buys Used Car, Owner Tells Her to Look In Trunk When She Gets Home
With four small children under her care, Jennifer was left a single mother after her husband, Adam, unexpectedly left when he learned she was expecting their fourth child. “One more kid to feed? Not at all! His final words as he left their trailer and filed for divorce were, “I’ve had enough!” Devastated, Jennifer found it impossible to provide for her family without Adam’s assistance, particularly given their preexisting financial struggles.
Adam ceased giving any money after the divorce, saying he was unemployed and couldn’t find work because he didn’t have a college degree. Jennifer was desperate to support her kids, and she realized she needed to get a job. While looking for work, she was consistently turned down by companies who would often point out that it was hard to hire a woman with little children. Unfazed, she continued looking for work in a nearby city, paying for a cab ride with the little cash she had while neighbors watched her kids.
When she discovered a vacancy for a housekeeping position at a nearby hotel, her perseverance paid off. She was employed right away by the HR manager, who was keen to fill roles before the hectic summer season. Jennifer went back home, thrilled to have found a job, to tell her children about her good fortune. But the daily taxi rides soon got too expensive, and she started thinking about getting a car.
Though Jennifer wasn’t sure whether she could afford it, she came across a secondhand car that appeared to be ideal for her needs. She went over to the owner, told him what had happened, and asked if he would sell the automobile for $5,000. Jeff, the owner, was moved by her narrative and agreed to the cheaper price as long as she could pay by the next day. However, because of her bad credit, Jennifer’s loan application was quickly turned down.
When Jennifer ran out of options, she made an extremely painful choice. To raise the required money, she made the decision to sell a gold chain necklace that belonged to her late mother. After she brought the necklace to a pawnshop, the value was $5500, which was sufficient to pay for the car and several other urgent necessities.
Jennifer came back to the dealership the following day with $5,000 in cash. Jeff complimented her on her purchase and grinned as he took the money. Jeff added that he had left something for her kids in the car’s trunk as she was getting ready to leave.
Before long, Jennifer’s life was consumed by work and taking care of her kids, and she forgot about Jeff’s final remarks until she found a note in the glove box. She was shocked to see the same white envelope she had used to pay for the automobile when she eventually checked the trunk, as the note had advised her to do. The whole $5,000 was there, undamaged.
Jennifer went back to the dealership to express her sincere gratitude to Jeff for his amazing gift. “The world throws challenges at you, and it’s up to you to either rise from these challenges or succumb to them,” Jeff stated with a simple smile. I think you deserve the money more than I do, and I’m proud of you for standing by your kids. Just remember to give back as well.
With tears in her eyes, Jennifer departed the dealership, knowing that Jeff’s generosity had not only reduced her financial load but also given her newfound hope in the goodness of humanity.
