Paranormal Daily, edition of Sunday, October 25, 2026

THE SUN — A cloaked object roughly the size of Earth's moon is sitting on the surface of the Sun, according to a post published October 25 by Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily. The author says he believes the object remains there today.

Mr. Waring dates the sighting to March 20, 2022, as stated in a video released by the European Space Agency. The post links to an ESA page describing Solar Orbiter's highest-resolution image of the Sun's south pole, and invites readers to download the footage and judge for themselves.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN — Mercury, long considered a scorched and lifeless rock, is in fact home to sprawling alien cities, according to Scott C. Waring, author of the UFO Sightings Daily website. In a post dated October 24, 2026, he describes a yellow feature that he says resembles a golden fungus but is actually a structure more than two miles tall and five miles wide.

Mr. Waring writes that he found the object while going through a very large, 760-megabyte photograph of the planet, to which he applied extra focus and sharpening. The image appears to be drawn from a public global mosaic hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey's astrogeology program, a link to which he supplies. The author calls the result "100% proof" that aliens live on Mercury at present.

NEAR LONDON, ENGLAND — A curious episode at a boarding school near London, said to have occurred soon after 1870, has been revived by the Weird Darkness podcast in its Midnight In The Macabre program, aired on October 25, 2026. The account is an adaptation of M.R. James's ghost story "A School Story."

According to the episode description, the Latin master made a noise in his throat partway through marking an exercise and hurried out of the room. The boys then approached his desk and counted the papers left upon it.

MONTAUK, N.Y. — A Reddit user posting to r/Paranormal has shared a set of accounts from inside the Montauk Lighthouse, where, according to the post, the author's father has served as keeper for about eight years. The author notes the story had been posted and deleted once before, after commenters accused the writer of fabrication and suggested the tale was machine-made. The author invites doubters to look up the keeper and the lighthouse's haunting claims for themselves.

The father, the post says, does not believe in the paranormal and took the job knowing of the local ghost stories. His first strange episode, the author writes, came with a new coffee maker. He set the last part on the counter, turned to check the instructions, and found it gone. After a thorough search he gave up, closed the machine, and left. The next day, the post says, the part sat in place inside, though he was certain he had never installed it.

THE AIRWAVES — A broadcast of vintage radio drama, posted by the Weird Darkness podcast, offers listeners a long evening in the company of wax figures and unsolved crimes, according to the program's description.

The headline offering is "A Night In The Waxworks," an episode of Beyond Midnight dated January 31, 1969. As summarized in the post, a broke freelance journalist talks his way into spending a night alone in the cellar of Marriner's Waxworks. He sits with his back to the wax likeness of a Paris throat-cutter whom, the summary says, the police never caught.

SNOWFLAKE, ARIZ. — A Reddit user posting to r/Humanoidencounters describes a frightening night in a storm drain behind a Walmart in Snowflake, near Taylor, Arizona. The author, who gives his age as 17, says he is not claiming the event was paranormal and does not know what he and his 16-year-old friend saw.

According to the post, the pair had spent the evening larking about in the store, throwing hoops at a bike rack and swapping a hat and a hoodie to avoid recognition after an employee noticed them. They then entered the drains, which the friend had visited before and which, the author says, were a known hangout. Conditions were mundane: less than an inch of water, no debris, and the boys eating blueberries as they walked.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD. — A Baltimore County mother has told local television that a man living in a storm drain near her home has been bothering her children, a account the Daily Star has likened to the film IT. The comparison is the newspaper's own; the facts, as reported, are rather more earthly.

The mother, Unique Wiggins, told WJZ that she first dismissed her children's talk of a monster in the drain. Then, she says, her 21-year-old daughter telephoned in a panic on a Friday, saying a man in the sewer had told her she could not walk in that spot.

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/UFOs has drawn attention to a sentence in a document that, according to the post, was written in June 1983 for the US Army Intelligence and Security Command. The report, authored by Wayne M. McDonnel, is titled "Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process" and, the author notes, was approved for public release on September 10, 2003.

The line in question, which the poster says appears on page 27 of the report, advises readers to "be intellectually prepared to react to possible encounters with intelligent, non-corporeal energy forms when time-space boundaries are exceeded." The poster calls it "quite a remarkable thing to say."

THE ASTRAL PLANE — A message attributed to the spirit White Cloud, channeled by Blossom Goodchild and transcribed by the website Era of Light, was published on October 25 with a familiar assurance: things will change dramatically, though "for a little while yet."

According to the transcript, the entity holds that the change will arrive only when people feel they can bear no more. When it does, the message states, both the inner and outer worlds will occupy a different vibration. Asked by Ms. Goodchild whether scenes of rioting would then alter, the speaker replied that much will have changed. In the meantime, listeners are advised to remain in the heart space and to keep news of the world at a distance.

THE ASTRAL PLANE — A second chapter in the recollections of Robert A. Monroe, republished by the Unarius Academy of Science on its Unariun Wisdom site, finds the author contemplating the limits of his own usefulness as a traveler beyond the physical body.

According to the text, each excursion out of the body had begun to bring requests for help in the form of signals. Mr. Monroe writes that the task seemed never-ending and inefficient, and that he could spend the remainder of his physical life on it without making a perceptible dent in the volume of calls.

SHANGHAI, CHINA — Ball lightning, the luminous sphere said for centuries to drift through the atmosphere, has long defied explanation. According to a report in The Debrief, researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics now say they have produced a laboratory phenomenon that resembles it.

The work, published in Nature Photonics under the title "Ball-lightning-like relativistic terahertz solitons," describes a glowing ball of electromagnetic energy. The team used extremely powerful terahertz radiation, which sits on the spectrum between microwaves and infrared light, to create what the article calls a spherical soliton, a quasiparticle that travels as a non-dissipative wave.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — An unpublished manuscript by Erwin Schrödinger, the physicist best known for his cat in a box, has come to light after some eighty years, according to a report in The Debrief. It concerns whether the randomness of quantum mechanics is a basic feature of nature or merely a lack of information.

The finding is described in a preprint posted to arXiv on October 14, 2026, by Flavio Del Santo, a researcher at the University of Geneva. The report states that the three handwritten pages had remained largely overlooked among Schrödinger's papers at the University of Vienna.

DENMARK — A Reddit user posting to r/HighStrangeness has set down an account he says his father has repeated for years: a roadside meeting with a towering, unhurried visitor in a small Danish village of perhaps 200 to 300 inhabitants.

According to the post, the father and his wife had been drinking and quarrelled before deciding to drive to a local pub. About half a kilometre along the road, the author writes, the car was stopped by a being roughly three metres tall, with long brown hair and a face described as calm and rather beautiful. The father cannot recall whether it had legs.

4CHAN /X/ — An anonymous poster on 4chan's /x/ board has asked fellow readers to explain what the author calls "fake birds": a constant whistle heard around 3 A.M., in full darkness, repeating at an exact interval of about two seconds.

According to the post, the sound continued for an hour, then moved to the other side of the house. The author says they went outside to look, saw no birds, and felt the sound came from the sky rather than the trees. The poster acknowledged the account might sound unwell, but asked whether anyone else had had the experience.

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers has set down what the author calls a lifelong memory of the journey that preceded birth, and says it has been shared with no one but a twin brother until now. The author writes that as a child they took the recollection for a mental mistake, and that human language remains a poor vehicle for it.

According to the post, the memory begins in a state of total immersion, in which the author passed through successive levels while knowledge and memory dissolved a little at each threshold. Along the way, the author reports, came a pause point resembling a pre-game huddle, a final review of a meticulous blueprint of the human earth design.

SOUTHERN FRANCE — The question of when Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night in 1889 has, according to a report by Futility Closet, received a fresh answer from an unexpected quarter: the heavens themselves.

Earlier studies, the report says, had set the work in mid-June, relying on a letter the artist wrote to his brother Theo around June 18. Elijah Jeong-hyun Kim, a doctoral candidate at Kyung Hee University, observed that an onlooker in that period should have beheld a waning gibbous moon, not the crescent depicted on the canvas.

THE INTERNET — A modern prophet styled "America's Nostradamus" has issued a fresh warning that humanity may be hurtling toward catastrophe before the decade is out, according to a report in the Daily Star. The forecaster, John Hogue, is said to have spent 40 years deciphering the texts of the original Nostradamus.

Speaking to The Sun, Mr. Hogue reportedly described the coming calamity as arriving in three acts: a barrage of nuclear strikes, the ruin of the United States, and a war lasting 27 years. He told the paper that President Trump is "50-50" on a nuclear strike against Iran, and suggested that bunker-busting weapons might be used on underground sites such as Mount Pickaxe. In his telling, Iranian rockets and North Korean drones would retaliate in the Arabian Sea, sinking American carriers.
