Timeless Tales

Police say 21-year-old Marissa Doyle was arrested late Saturday night after what authorities called “one of the most unnecessarily creative breakups we’ve ever seen.” According to the report, Marissa admitted she slept with her ex-boyfriend’s cousin “to remind him that loyalty runs in the family — just not his side.” The ex found out, blocked her, and told mutual friends he was “done with her circus.” Marissa responded by creating an entirely new circus. At approximately 11:20 p.m., neighbors reported loud banging, dragging noises, and what one described as “the sound of a crazy person doing construction alone.” When officers arrived, they found Marissa inside her ex’s apartment, having climbed through the doggy door despite being 5’7” and absolutely too tall for it. Inside, she had: super-glued his Xbox controller to the ceiling, glued his sneakers upside down above the bedroom door, glued the remote to the wall, glued his shampoo bottles to the underside of the sink, and was i...

For nearly 20 years, National Geographic Explorer Brent Stirton has documented life inside the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Virunga National Park, one of the most complex and dangerous conservation areas on Earth. His photographs reveal what it takes to protect some of the world’s last mountain gorillas, capturing moments of loss and determination amid ongoing conflict. Take a closer look at life inside Virunga: An extraordinary look inside the home of some of the world’s last mountain gorillas National Geographic Explorer Brent Stirton has photographed life inside Virunga National Park over the course of nearly two decades—chronicling stories of violence and resilience. Conservation rangers from a Virunga National Park anti-poaching unit work with locals to evacuate the bodies of nine severely endangered mountain gorillas killed in the park. They carry Senkwekwe, a silver-back alpha male, the leader of the group. He and seven females were shot and killed. Exposure  is a...

This photo was taken around the year 2000 in Manila, Philippines. Two friends were out walking late one warm night when they asked a passing stranger to take their picture using a cellphone camera. At the time, nothing seemed unusual. The photo was taken, they thanked the stranger, and they went on their way. Later, when they looked at the image, they noticed something neither of them remembered seeing. A faint, transparent figure appeared beside one of the girls, with what looked like a hand gripping her arm. Not aggressively. Almost casually. According to investigators, no one else was standing close enough to appear in the frame. The low quality of the photo comes from early cellphone cameras, which makes it harder to analyze. Without the original file, it is impossible to rule out editing or manipulation. But if the image is genuine, then this photo captures something extremely unsettling. A moment when neither girl realized they were not alone. Because whatever that hand...

 At 5:40 am on January 7, 2025, Thomas “Duncan” Callens was captured on surveillance video at the Old Bull Market located at 3107 Hwy 72 West, across from the Morris Crum Tire Center in Corinth, Mississippi. Since he wasn’t properly dressed for the weather, the clerk at the store gave Callens a drink, a coat, and a black shirt with yellow writing on it. The clerk also allowed him to charge his phone. Callens left the store on foot about 10 minutes later, and hasn’t been seen since. He was supposed to go duck hunting with family that day but never showed up. He was reported missing the following day after they couldn’t contact him.

When hatred turn to poison what can human being do to another  So that we never forget what man is capable of. September 1941, on the outskirts of Kyiv. In just two days, inside a ravine called Babi Yar, one of the fastest and most brutal massacres of the Holocaust unfolded. After the Nazi occupation of the city, Jewish residents were ordered to report with their identification papers and suitcases. Many believed they were being deported. They were wrong. It was a carefully planned trap. On September 29 and 30, nearly 34,000 men, women, and children were marched to the edge of the ravine. There, the Einsatzgruppen—mobile Nazi killing units—assisted by local collaborators, forced them to undress. Family after family was lined up and shot. Their bodies fell into the ravine, piling layer upon layer, until the earth itself seemed to disappear beneath them. There were no gas chambers. No concentration camps. Only rifles, ammunition, and silence. Babi Yar was not an exception. It was par...

A little girl thought she was finally safe, but the house she entered became another nightmare. In early 2025, a 12-year-old girl went to live with Brenda Garcia and her sister Tania in Montgomery County, Texas after escaping a troubled home. Investigators say that instead of safety, she endured months of cruelty and control. Court documents allege the sisters beat her, tied her hands, and forced her to follow degrading commands meant to break her emotionally. The child told detectives that Brenda Garcia choked her until she could not breathe and at one point wrapped a belt around her neck, strangling her while telling her to “just d*e.” Authorities say the abuse was ongoing and deliberate. By the time she escaped in late September, the girl was injured, malnourished, and terrified. When authorities found her, they documented visible wounds and signs of prolonged mistreatment. As she received care, her account began to reveal the full extent of what she had endured. Brenda an...

On a quiet August morning in 2014, Stirling Station in Perth, Australia looked like any other day: commuters stepping on and off trains, saying quick goodbyes, rushing to work. Then, in a matter of seconds, the routine turned into a scene of sheer urgency. A man tried to board the train when his foot slipped into the narrow gap between the platform and the carriage. It got stuck. He couldn’t pull free, and panic took over his face. Station staff rushed in immediately, but every attempt to help failed. And then something remarkable happened. Strangers, men and women of all ages, lined up shoulder to shoulder along the side of the train. No speeches. No debate. They all understood at once that only a shared effort would work. Together, they pushed against the massive weight of the train. Inch by inch, it began to tilt, just enough for the trapped man to wrench his foot free. What could have ended in tragedy became a moment of human strength. The man stood there, stunned, barely ab...

In the early hours of 11 August, 2013, Omaha police discovered a pickup truck abandoned near Spring Lake Park. Inside were the bodies of Juan Uribe-Pena, 26, and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz, 29. Both men had been shot in the head at close range. Their wallets and belongings were missing, indicating robbery. Eight days later, on 19 August, another body was found near a detached garage in northeast Omaha.  The victim was Curtis Bradford, 22, who had also been shot to death and robbed. Investigators later learned Bradford had previously been incarcerated with a man named Nikko Jenkins. On 21 August, a concerned resident called police after hearing gunshots near 180th and Maple Streets. Officers found Andrea Kruger, 33, lying in the street, shot multiple times after returning home from her late shift at a restaurant. Her vehicle had been stolen. Jenkins was arrested on 29 August, 2013, on unrelated weapons charges. As investigators pieced the cases together, evidence quickly pointed towar...

They bolted the door shut before jumping from the window one by one Absolutely horrifying. Three child sisters jumped to their deaths from the balcony of their ninth-floor home after their parents confiscated their phones. The tragedy took place at around 2.15am on Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, India. The sisters - Pakhi, 12, Prachi, 14, and Vishika, 16 - were allegedly upset that their father had taken away their mobile phone. In the early hours of February 4, the sisters gathered at their balcony and bolted the door shut before jumping from the window one by one. Local reports claim their screams were loud enough to wake their parents, neighbours, and security guards at the family's apartment complex. But by the time the parents broke down the door, it was too late. When we reached the scene, we confirmed that three girls, daughters of Chetan Kumar, had died after jumping from the building,' said Atul Kumar Singh, Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Inside Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, the wrestling mats were stored upright against the gym wall—tall, silent blue columns that blended into the background of everyday school life. Students passed them without a thought. Teachers unlocked doors. The day began like any other. But January 11, 2013, would never end the same way. Seventeen-year-old Kendrick Johnson never made it to class. As hours passed, concern slowly turned into panic. Then someone noticed something that didn’t belong—a pair of shoes sticking out from the top of a rolled-up wrestling mat. When first responders unrolled it, time seemed to stop. Kendrick was inside the mat, upside down. His body was cold. His face swollen beyond recognition. Dark postmortem fluid spilled across the gym floor, transforming a place meant for school pride and competition into a haunting crime scene. Authorities moved quickly. Their explanation came just as fast. They said Kendrick had climbed into the mat to retrieve his s...

 She was 21 when the Nazis executed her for distributing pamphlets—and her last words changed Germany forever. Her name was Sophie Scholl. And on February 22, 1943, she walked calmly to a guillotine rather than betray what she believed was right. Sophie's story didn't start with heroism. It started with a mistake. Born in 1921 in Germany, Sophie was twelve years old when she joined the League of German Girls—the female branch of Hitler Youth. So did most of her classmates. Her older brother Hans joined the boys' division. Their father was horrified. He was an anti-Nazi politician who could see what his children couldn't yet understand. He told them: "All I want is for you to walk straight and free through life, even when it's hard." Sophie and Hans argued with him. They believed the propaganda. They trusted their teachers, their youth group leaders, the posters plastered across every German city. Then, slowly, the cracks began to show. In 1937, Hans and...

It was around 8:30AM on the 26th of August, 1998, when a jogger came across a gruesome scene near a ditch in the 2100 block of North Main, Galena Park, Texas. It was the body of man. He had evidently been the victim of a brutal and sustained attack; he had contusions and abrasions from head to toe. The man was identified as 59-year-old Louis “Buddy” Musso. Shortly after the body was found, 44-year-old Susan Basso went to the police department in Jacinto City to report Buddy, who she lived with, missing. Investigators immediately became suspicious of Susan when she and her 23-year-old son, James O’Malley, came in to identify Buddy’s body. Susan engaged in fake hysterics while James was completely expressionless. The mother and son would be brought in for questioning and James would make a disturbing confession, telling investigators that Buddy had been killed by his mother, himself and a group of other people had beaten Buddy to death and then dumped his body. In addition to Susa...

CARE FACILITY EMPLOYEE ACCUSED OF TWERKING NEAR PATIENTS ARRESTED: An employee at a disabled adult care facility in Florida was arrested for allegedly “twerking” in front of patients. Authorities were reportedly shown a video of four women dancing in a sexual manner, known as twerking, at the facility in front of their disabled patients.  SEE VIRAL VIDEO CLIP HERE Josalynn Janeice Hart, 29, was allegedly one of those women and was reportedly seen dancing on a sink and twerking on a table where two patients were sitting. She was not seen making contact with any patients in the video, though another woman is accused of physically interacting with a patient. Authorities said the patients in the video appear to be nonverbal, infirm, and incapable of providing consent. Hart is charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition of an elderly or disabled person and failure to report abuse and neglect of a vulnerable adult.

April 15–30, 1945 — Liberation and the Cost of Survival Liberation did not mean life. When British forces entered Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945, the gates opened—but the suffering did not end. Years of starvation, disease, and exhaustion had reduced thousands of prisoners to shadows of themselves. Even freedom could not undo what had already been done. Many simply could not recover. Medical teams worked around the clock. Field hospitals were improvised in barracks and nearby buildings. Doctors, nurses, and volunteers confronted horrors few could imagine: skeletal bodies too weak to stand, mouths too parched to swallow, survivors who no longer remembered their own names. Food—the one thing prisoners had longed for—became dangerous. After years of deprivation, some digestive systems could not process nourishment; a bite too much could kill. The line between rescue and death was heartbreakingly thin. Typhus continued to rage. Barracks were quarantined, infested buildings burne...

 On October 11, 1904, seven-year-old Thomas Callahan stood on a wooden platform in the town square of Greenfield, Indiana. Strangers circled him. Rough hands squeezed his arms, pressed his shoulders, checked his teeth, turned his palms over to look for calluses — the same way farmers inspected horses or cattle. Thomas didn’t understand. He didn’t understand why grown men were touching him without asking. He didn’t understand why his three brothers and sisters had been taken off the train and sent to different towns. He didn’t understand why no one had told him where his mother was. He only knew he was alone. Finally, a man pointed at him. “That one,” he said. “He looks strong. I’ll take that one.” Take. Not adopt. Not welcome. Take. And just like that, Thomas was handed over like an object being purchased. He never saw his mother again for fifty-eight years. A month earlier, Thomas had been living with his family in New York City. His mother, Margaret Callahan, wasn’t dead. ...

1993, in Iquitos, Peru, a fisherman was photographed doing something that looks almost unreal. Bent forward under an impossible weight, he carried a single fish across his shoulders — a paiche, also known as arapaima or pirarucu. Not a legend. Not folklore. A living giant. The arapaima is among the largest freshwater fish on Earth, capable of growing over 3 meters (10 feet) long and weighing more than 180 kilograms (400+ pounds). In the rivers of the Amazon, it has existed for millions of years — long before borders, cameras, or modern industry. And in this image, it looks less like a catch… and more like a force of nature.  A Fish That Refuses to Drown What makes the arapaima extraordinary isn’t just its size. It breathes air. Unlike most fish, the arapaima has a modified swim bladder that functions like a lung. Every 15–20 minutes, it must rise to the surface to breathe — a deep, audible gulp that fishermen can hear from far away. When threatened, it can hold its breath...

Imagine being 14 years old and slowly realizing the adult you trusted has trapped you in a life you can’t escape that you met at school ? That’s what happened to Tanya Nicole Kach-McCrum. Tanya was born October 14, 1981, near Pittsburgh. By age 14, her life was already heavy. Her parents divorced, her dad gained custody, and Tanya moved in with him and his girlfriend in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. She started a new middle school and struggled badly. She was bullied, isolated, and deeply unhappy. Home wasn’t easy either. Arguments were frequent, and Tanya ran away several times, though she always came back. Each time, police were called. At school, there was one adult who seemed to care. That man was 38 year old Thomas Hose, a school security guard. His job was to keep kids safe. Instead, he groomed one. He would pull Tanya out of class to “talk.” He listened. He made her feel protected. Over time, he crossed serious boundaries and convinced her that leaving her family and starting...

Steve Jobs tried to treat his pancreatic cancer with alternative medicine — and it may have sent him to an early grave. For several months after his diagnosis, the Apple co-founder tried to cure his disease with a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbs, bowel cleansings, and other remedies that he found online. At one point, he even sought help from a psychic. Though his doctors had pleaded with him to undergo surgery, it took him nearly a year before he finally agreed. By that point, his cancer had already spread to the tissues surrounding his pancreas. Jobs later regretted his decision to delay treatment, saying, "I really didn't want them to open up my body, so I tried to see if a few other things would work." But all he could do was continue treating his disease as it progressed. And when he died, he was just 56 years old.
