For all the DC fans
A complete guide to upcoming DC superhero movie release dates, from Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad to Justice League and beyond.
Now updated with information on the Blue Beetle and Booster Gold movie!Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Suicide Squad movie will kick off a golden age of DC superhero movies. The Wonder Woman movie will follow soon after, and it's all leading up to the Justice League movie. Two of them, in fact. So, it's time to take a look at all of the DC superhero movies that will be released over the next few years. And trust us, there are a ton of them on the way, and we expect more details will be announced as we go forward.
We have all the release dates for every one of 'em right here, as well as details on each one, and suggestions for further reading.
Here we go...
March 25th, 2016 - Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
What else do we have to say about this one? Well, not only is it the key to the newly minted DC Cinematic Universe, and the gateway to the Justice League movie, it's quite possible that the multi-hero approach of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will ultimately point the way towards how Warner Bros. will approach most of these future movies. As we'll see, there are definitely solo movies on the horizon, but things probably aren't going to follow the Marvel model.Even though Warner Bros. is now adopting a multi-film "shared universe" approach that appears similar to what Marvel Studios has built so successfully over the last six years, they likely aren't looking to duplicate that model. Unlike Marvel, where every film (not to mention TV show) aggressively teases and/or sets up potential plot elements and introduces characters for future films, it's fairly likely that at least a few of the DC Universe movies will remain somewhat independent of one another.
This is a safe assumption because we already know that two of the films definitely on that schedule, Shazam and Sandman, aren't particularly Justice League-centric films, and will likely spend considerable time building their own universes. While we have a pretty good idea of what the Justice League movie line-up will be (see the image we've chosen for that one down below), it's likely that not everyone is going to get their own movie...and that might be a good thing.
August 5th, 2016 - Suicide Squad
The Suicide Squad movie boasts an impressive all-star cast. Jared Leto is playing the Joker (a difficult role to step into in the wake of Heath Ledger's incredible performance in The Dark Knight). Then we have Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo. There are loads of other supervillains making their way into this one, too. It's a little crazy.Dan Lin and Stephen Gilchrist as producers and with a script by Justin Marks (he of Top Gun 2 and the live-action Jungle Book, but who also wrote the excellent, unproduced Green Arrow: Escape From Supermax). David Ayer is directing.
Warner Bros. and DC Comics have been doing everything in their power to up the Suicide Squad's profile in recent years. With recent live-action appearances on Arrow, an animated film pairing them with Batman, and a high-profile comic book relaunch, it's easy to see how characters like Deadshot and Harley Quinn could anchor a Suicide Squad movie. DC Entertainment loves synergy.
You can expect lots more DC supervillains to make appearances in this one, too.
June 23rd, 2017 - Wonder Woman
The fact that we have yet to see a Wonder Woman solo movie is almost beyond belief. We don't have time to get into the rampant short-sightedness that is keeping women from taking marquee roles in superhero movies at the moment (and that's bound to change one of these days), but now that Gal Gadot is going to do some Amazonian ass-kicking in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, her emergence as a headliner is inevitable.Warner Bros. were clearly impressed with Ms. Gadot, as she'll be doing Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Wonder Woman solo movie, Justice League, and Justice League 2 in a fairly short amount of time. We'll know more about her soon enough! After a little bit of a shake-up, Patty Jenkins (Monster) is directing, from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs. Chris Pine will appear as Wonder Woman's love interest, Steve Trevor.
November 17th, 2017 - Justice League Part One
Zack Snyder will direct Justice League, and signs point to BvS co-writer Chris Terrio sticking around to work on the script, not to mention the fact that at least five members of the team (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman) will appear in Dawn of Justice, it should be relatively easy for the filmmakers to pull double duty and a remarkably short turnaround.The image above represents what is all but certain to be the Justice League line-up for the movie, possibly without Green Lantern, who they may hold back for introduction in the second installment. Yes, they also confirmed a sequel. We'll get to that shortly.
March 23rd, 2018 - The Flash
Debuting to some more than respectable numbers, The Flash TV series is a definite fan-favorite. In the past, Warner Bros has been shy about pushing multiple live-action interpretations of their characters at the same time (the success of Smallville helped hold up new Superman films for some time, while plans to introduce Bruce Wayne on that show were scuttled as Batman Begins became a reality). Clearly, that is no longer the case.Ezra Miller (The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Madame Bovary) has been announced as the lead for a Flash solo movie. We do know that this will be a movie about Barry Allen, but probably a very different Barry Allen than the one we currently love on TV. It's a little unclear at the moment if Flash will make his first appearance in Justice League Part One or Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, or if this film will serve as an origin story and introduction. This should become clear in coming days.
The most recent Flash screenplay that we're aware of was by Greg Berlanti (executive producer of Arrow and The Flash) and Michael Green. It's a good read, and better than a number of previous attempts (including one by Batman Begins and Man of Steel writer David Goyer), but elements of that have made their way into The Flash TV seres, and presumably beyond.
Now it appears that Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The LEGO Movie) have been brought on board to write a treatment for The Flash movie.
July 27th, 2018 - Aquaman
Finally, Warner Bros. confirmed what everyone on the planet already knew: Jason Momoa is Aquaman. There's no doubt that they've been taking Aquaman very seriously. James Wan (Furious 7) will direct from a script by Kurt Johnstad (300: Rise of an Empire).Unspecified Date in 2018- The Batman
Warner Bros. promised that their superhero schedule didn't include Batman or Superman solo films, but it didn't rule out the possibility of them down the line. Well, it looks like "down the line" might mean 2018. Ben Affleck will direct and star in a solo Batman movie. He will also co-write the screenplay with comics scribe Geoff Johns.We hear this will kick off a new trilogy of Batman movies. More details on that here.
There's also the chance that this could swap places on the calendar with the first installment of Justice League, although it all seems rather early to speculate on that.
We're not sure if this title is the real deal or not, but it makes some sense, and it comes to us via Latino Review, who were the first to report on the possibility of a new Batman solo movie starring Ben Affleck.
April 5th, 2019 - Shazam
Shazam has both a writer (Darren Lemke, of Turbo fame) and a star (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the villainous Black Adam) announced. If we end up getting to see Henry Cavill's Superman fight Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, it's tough to imagine anyone would complain.I've heard that this one could land well in advance of the announced 2019 release date, but I'm still looking into that.
June 14th, 2019 - Justice League Part Two
Justice League prologue Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice hasn't counted a single dollar of ticket sales yet, and here we are, staring at a release date for Justice League 2. All we know at the moment is that Zack Snyder will be back as director on this one. We have our suspicions about that villain, though.Please note that the above image doesn't reflect any potential lineup, but it's ridiculously crowded and felt appropriate for this piece...
April 3rd, 2020 - Cyborg
And this one is the biggest surprise of them all. Ray Fisher will make his first appearance as Vic Stone/Cyborg in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and will clearly have a crucial role to play in both Justice League films if they're grooming him for a solo film. No other details are presently available, but there's no change this one will be an origin story, so that's refreshing.June 19th, 2020 - Green Lantern Corps
Fairly or unfairly, Green Lantern has the most working against him. The 2011 film failed to kickstart the DC Universe as planned, and received a lukewarm (at best) critical and box-office reception. There are, of course, ways around this.One way is to simply not make Hal Jordan the central Green Lantern of the movie. It was revealed at SDCC 2015 that the Green Lantern movie is now called Green Lantern Corps, and this one may focus on as many as three Green Lanterns, likely with John Stewart as the main Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Tyrese Gibson might be wearing that particular ring.
We've heard bits and pieces indicating that Green Lantern won't even show up until the end of Justice League, or possibly even Justice League 2. By the time 2020 rolls around, a decade will have passed, and by then the character won't be considered so radioactive by studio execs. Here's hoping they get him right this time.
And then there are the missing pieces that are either unconfirmed or simply don't have release dates yet...
Blue Beetle and Booster Gold
That's right...Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are coming to the big screen in what is described as a "superhero buddy cop movie." This one may or may not actually be called Blue and Gold.The Tracking Board (who first broke the news) reports that Flash and Arrowexecutive producer Greg Berlanti is going to direct and executive produce. Heroic Hollywood adds that Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers) may be involved to write the screenplay.
Sandman
Sandman isn't a superhero movie, so the fact that he wasn't involved in an announcement that primarily focused on high-profile franchises (along with the superhero slate, Warner Bros. focused on Lego movies and Harry Potter spinoffs). It isn't a DC Universe movie that will have any bearing on future Justice League films. But it is one of the most successful, enduring comics of all time.That being said, this one is in such active development that we would expect an announcement regarding a release date sooner than later. The Sandman movie has a producer (and potential star and director!) in Joseph Gordon-Levitt, with Jack Thorne writing. Neil Gaiman and David Goyer are also involved in the process, which Gordon-Levitt admits is a "complicated" one.
Dark Universe
Dark Universe might be more familiar to comic book fans under its comic name, Justice League Dark.
Guillermo del Toro was attached this one, which will feature the
supernatural characters from the DC Universe. Characters like Swamp
Thing, Demon, Deadman, Zatanna, and possibly even John Constantine.
This one has been in development for some time, but del Toro recently confirmed that the script is finished, has been turned into Warner Bros., and may share some space in the DC Cinematic Universe.
The problem, though, is that Guillermo del
Toro, who had long been developing this one, appears to have left the
project. It might be dead in the water.
Legion of Super-Heroes
This one came as a big surprise when the rumor surfaced via Latino Review. The word is that Warner Bros., perhaps inspired by the runaway success of Guardians of the Galaxy, is looking to put together their own superheroic space opera.Nobody has been hired. Warner Bros. have simply placed this one on the table as a DC property potentially worth developing, and are inviting writers to make pitches. To be fair, it's likely that nearly every major DC property is open for something like this, but this is the first rumbling we've ever heard about a Legion of Super-Heroes movie. It's worth paying attention to, but it's tough to imagine, even under the best of circumstances, that we'll see this before 2018...assuming it's true at all.
That being said, if it were true, it's hard to imagine a cooler way to cement the WB/DC Cinematic Universe than with a 31st Century space-opera. While Marvel-esque crossovers probably aren't going to be the order of the day with these movies, the concept of showing how the Justice League (and specifically, Superman) influenced society 1,000 years in the future is plenty unique, and adds immediate gravitas to the other superhero movies on the calendar.
Let's just say, we really hope this one is true.
Metal Men
Perhaps the longest of the long-shots, the Metal Men movie is something that's been in discussion as far back as 2007. It's the most bizarre concept of the bunch, involving a mad scientist and his group of sentient elemental robots, but like Suicide Squad and Legion of Super-Heroes, perhaps that uniqueness is what makes this one so appealing. Warner Bros. can't be seen to copy the Marvel model too closely, so veering away from solo outings for traditional heroes and into this kind of territory might be the very best thing they can do for the brand.The Metal Men have also just received a New 52 facelift at the hands of writer Geoff Johns, executive producer of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Flash TV series. If they're a favorite of DC Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer, it would be wrong to count the Metal Men out, even if there's been no public movement on this project in recent memory.
It's worth noting that the same Wall Street Journal article where WB officially announced the Justice League movie also mentioned Shazam (at a time when everyone thought the project was dead and buried) and...Metal Men. Don't sleep on this one.
The Rest
Keep in mind that the door is still open for a proper Man of Steel 2, and we expect that somewhere between now and 2020 we'll see a handful of Superman and Batman solo films. It's also possible that Warner Bros. will get cold feet on some of these based on how folks react to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. We'll know soon enough...Tragedy..
Tragedy.. what is true tragedy of life ? someone once asked me well there are a lot of things which are tragedy of life like when a person loses his arm or leg or car or house or perhaps his money his wealth .. but the question is what is true tragedy well the lose of some one you truly loved some one who you wanted to spend your entire life with but you couldn't and by lose i don't mean death only but i mean also that person leaving you for some else and showing you that you were a fool to expect their love for you it was only a part of your imagination .. a world that you created that was not real ..
A person can live in poverty but can not live without love ...
A person can live in poverty but can not live without love ...

little bunnies
These little bunnies will melt your heart.
Dhaka-based photographer Ashraful Arefin adopted two little bunnies about seven months ago and was totally hooked on photographing them. "They are great models and very photogenic," he says.

people always leave..
what a great disappointment is that people always leave.. it's true that people always leave .. leave and never come back they do so in a manner that the people they are leaving behind get collapsed once they promise to never leave yet so easily they leave as P.sawyer once said... "People are going to disappoint you, I get that, I kind of expect that
but, what happens if one day you wake-up and realize you are the
disappointment
"
"-Life's too short-- too short to live it as a bad person." then why waste it in being a bad person??

Haunting
haunted places and haunted people they all are real i don't mean to scare you but yes i have been and lived in haunted houses i have seen things that was beyond explanation and yes i am a very educated person who knows a lot of things and i do believe in the following contents written down below.
Read on to learn about ten of the most haunted objects ever recorded in history.
A dibbuk box is a wine cabinet which, according to Jewish folklore, is
said to be haunted by a restless, evil spirit that is capable of
haunting and possessing the living. One particular dibbuk box became
famous when it was listed on eBay along with a terrifying backstory.
The story began in September of 2001, when an antique buyer and refinisher attended an estate sale in Portland, Oregon. The auction was held to sell off the belongings of a 103-year-old woman, and her granddaughter informed the antique dealer of the woman's past when she noticed that he had purchased a simple wooden wine cabinet. The old woman had been Jewish, the only one of her family members to have survived her time in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. When she immigrated to the United States, the wine cabinet and two other items were the only things she brought with her.
The woman's granddaughter explained that her grandmother had always kept the box hidden away, and said that it should never, ever be opened because it contained a malicious spirit called a dibbuk. She requested that the box be buried with her, but since doing so went against Jewish tradition, her family did not oblige. When the antique dealer asked the granddaughter if she would like to keep the box for sentimental reasons, the woman vehemently refused, becoming very upset and saying, "We made a deal! You have to take it!"
The dealer took his purchase back to his shop and placed it in his workshop in the basement. Immediately, strange and frightening things started happening. He was called by his frantic shop assistant, who said that the lights had gone out, the doors and security gates had locked, and she heard terrible sounds coming from the basement. When he investigated, he discovered a terrible odor of cat urine lingering in the air, and every light bulb in the place had been smashed.
The dealer gave the wine box to his mother as a gift, and the woman immediately suffered a major stroke. In the hospital, she spelled out, "H-A-T-E G-I-F-T" as tears spilled from her eyes uncontrollably. He attempted to give the gift to several more people, but it was always returned to him within a few days, usually because people just didn't like it, or because they felt that something about it was evil. He began suffering from a recurring nightmare, and he later found that all of his family members who had been around the box were having the same dream. He started seeing shadow figures darting around in his peripheral vision, as well.
After finally admitting that there was something paranormal happening, he went online to research and fell asleep at his computer. When he woke up, he felt like something was breathing on his neck, and when he turned his head he saw a huge shadow figure dashing away from him down the hall. He then decided to list the item on eBay, along with a detailed account of what had happened to him since obtaining the box.
Jason Haxton, the curator of a medical museum in Missouri, purchased the box from the eBay auction. He later wrote a book detailing the strange story of the dibbuk box, and in 2012, a horror movie based on the book entitled The Possession was released. (Source | Photo)
In 1970, a woman shopping in a thrift store bought a Raggedy-Ann style
doll for her daughter, who was in college. Her daughter liked it and
put it in her apartment, but soon she and her roommate both noticed odd
things happening involving the doll. It would move by itself, often
being found in another room even though no one had touched it. They
found small scraps of parchment paper, which they didn't even own, with
childish handwriting scrawled on them. They even found the doll
standing impossibly on its rag doll legs one day.
The frightened girls contacted a psychic medium, who told them that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a young girl who had died in the apartment building. "Annabelle" said that she liked the college girls, and wanted to stay with them, so they told her that she could. Unfortunately, granting the spirit this permission lead to increased paranormal activity in their apartment, including having a male friend get attacked by the doll one night, leaving vicious scratch marks all over his chest and torso.
At their wit's end, the girls contacted renowned psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The married duo soon found that the doll is not possessed by the spirit of a child at all; rather, it is possessed by a demon who had lied about its identity in order to get close to the girls, perhaps intending to possess one or both of them. The girls gave "Annabelle" to the Warrens, who encased it in a glass display cabinet in their Occult Museum in Connecticut. The sign on the glass reads, “Warning: Positively Do Not Open.” (Source | Photo)
In 2000, an anonymous eBay seller listed a painting created by artist
Bill Stoneham called "The Hands Resist Him." This painting is now
largely considered to be one of the world's most haunted works of art.
The painting features a boy and a creepy doll standing in front of a glass door. The painting was created in 1972 and purchased by Hollywood actor John Marley. It was then bought by a California couple before going up for sale on eBay along with a dire warning about the problems involved with owning the object.
According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the canvas entirely. The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a blast of hot air, as if they had opened an oven.
Even those who viewed the painting online claimed to feel a sense of unease, dread, or terror when looking at the painting. One person even claimed that their brand new printer refused to print the photo of the painting, however it worked fine on every other print job.
The painting was purchased by an art gallery in Grand Rapids, MI. When the gallery spoke to the artist who had created it, he was surprised to hear that his work was at the center of a paranormal investigation, but he did mention that two people who originally displayed and reviewed the painting had died within a year of viewing "The Hands Resist Him."

Myrtles Plantation is an allegedly haunted bed and breakfast that is
largely considered to be the most haunted home in the United States, as
well as one of the most haunted houses in the world. The plantation
dates back to 1796, and it was built on a Native American burial ground.
Additionally, it is rumored to be the location of at least ten
murders, and paranormal events are an almost daily occurrence.
Perhaps the most haunted item on the premises is a mirror that was added to the home in 1980. Guests of the plantation have reported seeing figures lurking in the mirror, as well as child-sized handprints on the glass. Legend claims that the mirror contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her children. The Woodruffs were poisoned to death, and though custom dictates that mirrors should be covered after death to prevent spirits from getting trapped, this mirror was not covered, so the belief is that the Woodruff souls are very much present and active within the mirror.

In 1849, a girl from a rich family named Anna Baker fell in love with a
low class iron worker. Anna's father, Ellis Baker, refused to let her
marry her beloved, banishing the young man from their hometown of
Altoona, Pennsylvania and dooming his daughter to a life of
spinsterhood. Anna was so angry with her father that she never fell in
love or married, and remained bitter and angry until her death in 1914.
Before her father sent her true love away, Anna had chosen a beautiful wedding dress that she intended to wear at their wedding. When the wedding did not occur, another wealthy woman from a local family, Elizabeth Dysart, wore the dress instead, gloating the entire time. Years later, the wedding dress was given to an historical society, and eventually the Baker mansion was turned into a museum. The wedding dress was placed in a glass case in what was formerly Anna Baker's bedroom. After her death, visitors claim to see the dress move on its own, especially during full moons. The dress sways from side to side, as if an unseen bride is standing in front of her mirror, admiring herself in the gown.
Investigators who have searched for drafts and other naturally occurring circumstances have come up empty handed. No one can be sure why the dress sometimes moves by itself, though many speculate that the spurned bride, Anna Baker, has reclaimed her dress at last. (Source | Photo)
Newport, Rhode Island is one of the oldest towns in the United States.
Settled in 1690, by the early twentieth century the seaport town had
become a hot summer destination for some of America's wealthiest
families. The mansions of Newport are legendary, as are the many ghost
stories that accompany buildings that have been around for so long.
Belcourt Castle was founded by Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, a wealthy American socialite and politician, in 1894. There are many different documented hauntings within this lavish home, but perhaps the most famous haunted objects in the castle are two chairs that reportedly have spirits attached to them. Visitors who sit in the chairs say they immediately feel cold, queasy, and uncomfortable. Their hands feel like they're pricked by static electricity when held near the chairs, and many people have claimed that they've felt like they're sitting on someone when they attempt to sit in the chairs. Several visitors have actually been ejected from the chairs by an unseen force. (Source | Photo)
In 1896, this creepy doll belonged to a child named Robert Eugene Otto
in Key West, Florida. The doll had been given to him by a servant who
practiced black magic, and who disliked the boy's family. The little
boy adored his doll, and would often talk to him at length. Servants in
the Otto home became concerned, however, when they swore they could
hear a phantom voice talking back to the boy, and neighbors claimed to
have seen the doll moving from window to window in the Otto house when
no one was at home.
Soon, the doll started causing mischief, and the frightened child would claim that he had no part in it. Rooms would be messed up, vases smashed, and little Robert would be blamed, even though he seemed extremely afraid and insisted that his doll had done the deeds.
Robert inherited the house and died in 1972, so the house was purchased by another family. A little girl who had just moved into the home found the doll in the attic and was instantly afraid of it. She said the doll was alive and wanted to kill her. The doll finally wound up at an art gallery and historical museum in Key West, where it remains on display to this day. Oddly enough, visitors to the museum claim that they must ask permission to take a photograph of the doll. If they don't, legend has it that the doll will curse you. The museum displays letters from so-called "cursed" individuals who have written to the doll, apologizing for not asking to take his picture, and asking to be released from his spell.

Nicknamed "The Goddess of Death," The Women from Lemb is a statue carved
from pure limestone that was discovered in 1878 in Lemb, Cypruss. The
item dates back to 3500 B.C., and is believed to represent a goddess,
similar to a fertility idol. The statue was first owned by Lord
Elphont, and within six years of having the statue in his possession,
all seven of the Elphont family members had died from mysterious causes.
Both of the next two owners, Ivor Manucci and Lord Thompson-Noel, also died along with their entire families just a few short years after taking the statue into their homes.
The fourth owner, Sir Alan Biverbrook, died as well, along with his wife and two of their daughters. Two of Biverbrook's sons remained, and though they weren't big believers in the occult, they were scared enough by the sudden and strange deaths of four of their family members that they decided to donate the statue to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, where it remains today.
Shortly after the item was placed in the museum, the chief of the section where the statue dwelled suddenly died as well, though no museum curator will admit that the statue may have supernatural properties. No one has handled the statue since that first museum worker who passed away, and the item is safely under glass and protected from human hands.

This scary-looking painting was kept in Sean Robinson's grandmother's
attic for twenty-five years before he inherited it from her. She had
always told Robinson that the painting was evil, explaining how the
artist who created it had used his own blood mixed with the paint, and
had killed himself shortly after completing it. She claimed to hear
voices and crying when the painting was displayed, and to see the
shadowy figure of a man in her house, which is why she locked it away in
the attic.
As soon as Robinson took the painting into his home, he and his family started experiencing the same kinds of creepy phenomenon. His son fell down the stairs, his wife felt something stroking her hair, and they saw the shadow man and heard crying.
Robinson decided to set up a camera overnight to try to capture some of the strange events on tape. Robinson's YouTube videos show slamming doors, rising smoke, and the painting falling from a wall for no reason.
Frightened, Robinson soon put the painting down in his basement, but he is not interested in selling it.

In 1702, a convicted murderer named Thomas Busby was about to be hanged
for his crimes. His last request was to have his final meal served at
his favorite pub in Thirsk, England. He finished his meal, stood up,
and said, "May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair."
The chair remained in the pub for centuries, and patrons would often dare one another to sit in the cursed seat. During World War II, airmen from a nearby base frequented the pub, and locals noticed that the soldiers who sat in the chair would never return from war.
In 1967, two Royal Air Force pilots sat in the chair, only to crash their truck into a tree just after they left. In 1970, a mason tested his fate in the hot seat, only to die that same afternoon by falling into a hole at his job site. A year after that, a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he was working on collapsed. When the pub's cleaning lady tripped and fell into the chair, she died shortly afterwards from a brain tumor.
This list goes on, and finally the pub owner moved the chair into the basement. Unfortunately, even in storage the chair claimed another victim. After a delivery man took a quick rest while unloading packages in the store room, he was killed in a car accident that same day.
Eventually, the pub owner donated the chair to the local museum in 1972. The museum displays the chair by hanging it five feet in the air so that no one can possibly sit in it by mistake again. Fortunately, no one has sat in the chair since

The Dibbuk Box Contains an Ancient, Malevolent Spirit

The story began in September of 2001, when an antique buyer and refinisher attended an estate sale in Portland, Oregon.

When he woke up, he felt like something was breathing on his neck, and when he turned his head he saw a huge shadow figure dashing away from him down the hall. He then decided to list the item on eBay, along with a detailed account of what had happened to him since obtaining the box.
Jason Haxton, the curator of a medical museum in Missouri, purchased the box from the eBay auction. He later wrote a book detailing the strange story of the dibbuk box, and in 2012, a horror movie based on the book entitled The Possession was released. (Source | Photo)

Annabelle, The Doll Possessed by a Lying Demon
2
The frightened girls contacted a psychic medium, who told them that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a young girl who had died in the apartment building. "Annabelle" said that she liked the college girls, and wanted to stay with them, so they told her that she could. Unfortunately, granting the spirit this permission lead to increased paranormal activity in their apartment, including having a male friend get attacked by the doll one night, leaving vicious scratch marks all over his chest and torso.
At their wit's end, the girls contacted renowned psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The married duo soon found that the doll is not possessed by the spirit of a child at all; rather, it is possessed by a demon who had lied about its identity in order to get close to the girls, perhaps intending to possess one or both of them. The girls gave "Annabelle" to the Warrens, who encased it in a glass display cabinet in their Occult Museum in Connecticut. The sign on the glass reads, “Warning: Positively Do Not Open.” (Source | Photo)

The "eBay Haunted Painting” Causes Sickness, Screaming, and Fear
3
The painting features a boy and a creepy doll standing in front of a glass door. The painting was created in 1972 and purchased by Hollywood actor John Marley. It was then bought by a California couple before going up for sale on eBay along with a dire warning about the problems involved with owning the object.
According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the canvas entirely. The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a blast of hot air, as if they had opened an oven.
Even those who viewed the painting online claimed to feel a sense of unease, dread, or terror when looking at the painting. One person even claimed that their brand new printer refused to print the photo of the painting, however it worked fine on every other print job.
The painting was purchased by an art gallery in Grand Rapids, MI. When the gallery spoke to the artist who had created it, he was surprised to hear that his work was at the center of a paranormal investigation, but he did mention that two people who originally displayed and reviewed the painting had died within a year of viewing "The Hands Resist Him."

The Myrtles Plantation Mirror Contains the Spirits of a Woman and Her Children
4
Perhaps the most haunted item on the premises is a mirror that was added to the home in 1980. Guests of the plantation have reported seeing figures lurking in the mirror, as well as child-sized handprints on the glass. Legend claims that the mirror contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her children. The Woodruffs were poisoned to death, and though custom dictates that mirrors should be covered after death to prevent spirits from getting trapped, this mirror was not covered, so the belief is that the Woodruff souls are very much present and active within the mirror.

Haunted Wedding Dress Dances On Its Own
5
Before her father sent her true love away, Anna had chosen a beautiful wedding dress that she intended to wear at their wedding. When the wedding did not occur, another wealthy woman from a local family, Elizabeth Dysart, wore the dress instead, gloating the entire time. Years later, the wedding dress was given to an historical society, and eventually the Baker mansion was turned into a museum. The wedding dress was placed in a glass case in what was formerly Anna Baker's bedroom. After her death, visitors claim to see the dress move on its own, especially during full moons. The dress sways from side to side, as if an unseen bride is standing in front of her mirror, admiring herself in the gown.
Investigators who have searched for drafts and other naturally occurring circumstances have come up empty handed. No one can be sure why the dress sometimes moves by itself, though many speculate that the spurned bride, Anna Baker, has reclaimed her dress at last. (Source | Photo)

Chairs Push People Out of Them and Make People Feel Sick
6
Belcourt Castle was founded by Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, a wealthy American socialite and politician, in 1894. There are many different documented hauntings within this lavish home, but perhaps the most famous haunted objects in the castle are two chairs that reportedly have spirits attached to them. Visitors who sit in the chairs say they immediately feel cold, queasy, and uncomfortable. Their hands feel like they're pricked by static electricity when held near the chairs, and many people have claimed that they've felt like they're sitting on someone when they attempt to sit in the chairs. Several visitors have actually been ejected from the chairs by an unseen force. (Source | Photo)

Haunted Doll Curses Those Who Take His Picture Without Permission
7
Soon, the doll started causing mischief, and the frightened child would claim that he had no part in it. Rooms would be messed up, vases smashed, and little Robert would be blamed, even though he seemed extremely afraid and insisted that his doll had done the deeds.
Robert inherited the house and died in 1972, so the house was purchased by another family. A little girl who had just moved into the home found the doll in the attic and was instantly afraid of it. She said the doll was alive and wanted to kill her. The doll finally wound up at an art gallery and historical museum in Key West, where it remains on display to this day. Oddly enough, visitors to the museum claim that they must ask permission to take a photograph of the doll. If they don't, legend has it that the doll will curse you. The museum displays letters from so-called "cursed" individuals who have written to the doll, apologizing for not asking to take his picture, and asking to be released from his spell.

The Women from Lemb Statue Brings Death to All Owners
8
Both of the next two owners, Ivor Manucci and Lord Thompson-Noel, also died along with their entire families just a few short years after taking the statue into their homes.
The fourth owner, Sir Alan Biverbrook, died as well, along with his wife and two of their daughters. Two of Biverbrook's sons remained, and though they weren't big believers in the occult, they were scared enough by the sudden and strange deaths of four of their family members that they decided to donate the statue to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, where it remains today.
Shortly after the item was placed in the museum, the chief of the section where the statue dwelled suddenly died as well, though no museum curator will admit that the statue may have supernatural properties. No one has handled the statue since that first museum worker who passed away, and the item is safely under glass and protected from human hands.

"The Anguished Man" Captured On Video
9
As soon as Robinson took the painting into his home, he and his family started experiencing the same kinds of creepy phenomenon. His son fell down the stairs, his wife felt something stroking her hair, and they saw the shadow man and heard crying.
Robinson decided to set up a camera overnight to try to capture some of the strange events on tape. Robinson's YouTube videos show slamming doors, rising smoke, and the painting falling from a wall for no reason.
Frightened, Robinson soon put the painting down in his basement, but he is not interested in selling it.

The Cursed "Chair of Death" Kills All Who Sit in It
10
The chair remained in the pub for centuries, and patrons would often dare one another to sit in the cursed seat. During World War II, airmen from a nearby base frequented the pub, and locals noticed that the soldiers who sat in the chair would never return from war.
In 1967, two Royal Air Force pilots sat in the chair, only to crash their truck into a tree just after they left. In 1970, a mason tested his fate in the hot seat, only to die that same afternoon by falling into a hole at his job site. A year after that, a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he was working on collapsed. When the pub's cleaning lady tripped and fell into the chair, she died shortly afterwards from a brain tumor.
This list goes on, and finally the pub owner moved the chair into the basement. Unfortunately, even in storage the chair claimed another victim. After a delivery man took a quick rest while unloading packages in the store room, he was killed in a car accident that same day.
Eventually, the pub owner donated the chair to the local museum in 1972. The museum displays the chair by hanging it five feet in the air so that no one can possibly sit in it by mistake again. Fortunately, no one has sat in the chair since
A Label
