According to Romanek, he’s a very important individual that aliens have chosen specifically to help bring their message to the people of Earth. He says he is often in contact with one of the many alien species visiting our planet and has even fathered seven hybrid alien/human children.

Chaiten, ChileConsidered a modern version of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, the small town of Chaiten in the Los Lagos Region of Chile is among the latest victims of an abrupt and deadly volcanic eruption.A once thriving capital town, Chaiten’s destiny would change forever as the once quiet volcano nearby rumbled to life on May 2, 2008. The eruption grew increasingly violent and by May 5 it had spewed a deadly mixture of ash and sulfur 19 miles up into the Earth’s atmosphere – reaching across Patagonia and affecting infrastructure all the way in Argentina. 4. Pripyat, UkraineSitting 3 kilometers away from Chernobyl, the town of Pripyat in the Ukraine was once home to more than 49,000 people. Pripyat was founded on February 4, 1970 and deemed “a nuclear city” – a type of town created to serve the nearby Chernobyl reactor. Unlike other nuclear plants, Chernobyl was proclaimed as a “safer” type compared to others. Hence, the city of Pripyat was open to the general public and people could come and visit as they pleased. 3. Centralia, PennsylvaniaIn May of 1962, the lives of the residents of Centralia would forever change. It was the day before Memorial Day and the people were preparing for festivities However, they needed to settle one matter, how to clean up the town landfill. Although several options were offered, they settled on simply burning the trash in the 300 by 75-foot dumping ground After all, it was a common thing to do and it had been done many times before. According to the story, five volunteer firemen proceeded to light the trash on fire and let it burn for some time before extinguishing it. 2. Humberstone & La NoriaConsidered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Humberstone and La Noria were former saltpeter refineries that sat in the middle of the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. Humberstone is named after British chemical engineer, James Humberstone. He emigrated to the country in 1875 and became a saltpeter mogul, digging his way through the nitrate-rich crust of the desert. Described as “white gold,” almost all of the world’s saltpetre had come from the Atacama Desert. It was in such a huge demand as fertilizer in fast industrializing countries that during the 1880s to the 1930s, it was the main product exported from Chile. 1. Hashima Island, Japan (Gukanjima)Another mining facility on this list is the famous “Gukanjima,” known officially as Hashima – although few people call it that. In the Western World, it’s often known as “Battleship Island” because of its unusual shape. This abandoned island lies 20-minutes off the coast of Nagasaki- a city that once was considered the most densely populated on Earth. Now, it’s most visited structure is the Atomic Bomb Museum. so those were 5 of the Creepiest Ghost Towns in the World Humans have transformed the face of the planet.. These settlements were once filled with people - their hopes, dreams and tears all tied to them. Now all that’s left are crumbling buildings and memories of what once was.Support the show

The 19-year old was a promising student and by all accounts had a bright future ahead of him. He had just been accepted to North Carolina Central University and was to start during the fall but instead, his body was found in July of 1986.

Borley Rectory - EnglandDubbed as the “most haunted house in England,” the Borley Rectory sits on the outskirts of England, in the desolate little town of Borley, close to Suffolk. Built by Reverend Henry Bull in 1862, this structure was built in place of an older rectory that had mysteriously burned down years prior. Legend has it that a 13th century Benedictine monastery once stood on the gorunds. One of the monk had fallen in love with a nun who served in a nearby parish and when the two tried to elope together, their love affair was discovered. 4. The Haunted Vicarage - Sweden First built in 1876, this old vicarage sits quietly in the small village of Borvattnet in Northern Sweden. For over 90 years, the vicarage lay peacefully but in 1927 that all began to change. Then head chaplain, Nils Hedlund had moved in during that time and reported experiencing various things he could not explain. In one instance while doing laundry, he went to the attic to gather more of his clothes and when he looked outside, he could see an unseen force pulling clothes from off the line. 3. Chaonei No. 81 - ChinaAlso called the Chaonei Church, this old French Baroque building with its distinct red brick walls has become celebrated as “Beijing’s most haunted building.” Historically, it’s unknown who built the actual structure but over the years it’s has served as various government offices during the early years of the People’s Republic of China. By the 60s, the Red Guards stayed in the building but for some reason they made a hasty departure – some say because of the structure’s haunted status. Today, the building is in the care of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Beijing, hoever it still remains abandoned. 2. Rose Hall - JamaicaStanding beautifully with its stunning Georgian architecture, you wouldn’t think the Rose Hall Mansion was haunted. By day, it’s a stunning tourist attraction with its white stone walls and impressive stature. But by night, the 650-acre property becomes the object of horror stories and scary tales. 1. Monte Cristo Homestead - AustraliaIn the Australian town of Junee in New South Wales sits a wonderful and charming Victorian home known as the Monte Cristo Homestead. This two-story manor features a gorgeous ornate wraparound balcony and sits on top of a scenic hill overlooking the gorgeous town below. So there were the 5 MOST HAUNTED HOUSES IN THE WORLDSome houses get passed down to various owners through the years without incident. Others, like the ones on this list, have had such horrific pasts, that the original owners, or those they scorend, refuse to ever leave.Support the show
