Lost Time in East Texas
Frida in Texas called in to tell of her weird missing time experience:
“I want to tell you a story about something that happened to me and my husband about 30 years ago. I'm 73 right now. It happened to me when I was in my 40s. We were bass fishermen and we fished in tournaments. On this particular day in question, we fished in a tournament on Lake O' the Pines in east Texas. We won a prize and our best-friends happened to come up there at the weigh in and they said Hi to us and everything. They said, why don't you give us the fish and come over to our house after you drop your boat off and eat dinner with us. She said, I'll cook it and you won't have to. So they look at their watch and they said, well, you'll be at our house at about 5 o'clock so it'll be ready. And so they knew where we lived and how long it took, as many trips as we made back and forth. So they were correct about the time.
We went home and dropped the boat off, changed clothes real quick, fed the dogs, got back in the car, headed to their house... Our friends lived about 45 minutes away from us around Lake Murvaul around Carthage, Texas. So we were headed there and we got about five miles into our trip and the last thing that I remember was stopping at a red light in this little town about 9 miles from our house. Then, the next thing that I remember was crossing the bridge at Lake Murvaul, turning down a little road where my friends lived and driving up into their driveway. They come running out, all of a sudden. Where in the world have you all been? My god, the fish is cold. We were so worried about you. We said, Well, we came straight here. And they said, You couldn't have. I said, We did. You had to have stopped somewhere. She said, Frida, do you know what time it is? I said, No, I left my watch at the house. She said, Frida, it's 6:30. And so I sat back a minute. I looked at my husband and he looked at me. We didn't say anything for about a minute and then he, a non-believer in anything paranormal, popped up and said, You know, folks, I think we may have been abducted by aliens. I don't know what to think. I've wondered every day of my life ever since it happened. If they did something to me, put something in me... What else could it have been?”

The curse of 'Charlie Charlie' strikes again
These Mexican teenagers had to be exorcised after they tried to summon a ghost using the ouija board-inspired 'Charlie Charlie' challenge.
In disturbing video footage filmed in Iquitos, Peru, one of the girls jumps forward and tries to grapple with another teenager, before being restrained by police.
Church workers shouted bible verses at the girls as they lay writhing on the concrete floor.
Preaches reportedly spent five hours trying to exorcise the girls after they were 'possessed by demons'.
When this failed, they were sent away for medical treatment.
The so-called 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' is a supernatural ritual that supposedly makes it possible to contact a ghost. Read more at
