Highways of Horror | Ipsum Arcanum

[@vampirecount3880]

The first story reminds me a lot of an encounter I had when I was serving in the army in the interior of Brazil. I was driving with an engineering officer who was going to supervise the installation of a pontoon bridge for the battalion in training maneuvers. A few minutes after leaving headquarters the officer fell asleep, and I carefully made my way along a semi-dilapidated road to the area where we would supervise the installation of the pontoon. We were on a long plain, with nothing but dry bushs and small trees on the horizon, until I saw, in the rearview mirror, what looked like a car, coming towards us at a tremendous speed. It was coming as if we were on a perfectly maintained highway, without caring about the huge holes in the road. I didn't have much time to react, he was coming very fast, so I signaled that I would pull over to let the crazy guy pass. As he got closer, the car finally lost control, and I could see it flipping uncontroled several times behind us. It looked like a catastrophic accident, just a few meters away from us, but I immediately realized that even though the car was coming so fast and flipping so spectacularly, I heard absolutely nothing, not a sound. Not from the car's engine in its supposed tremendous acceleration, nor from the accident itself. The car disappeared from my sight in a huge cloud of dust behind a ravine on the side of the road. I was shocked, i woke up the senior officer and we went to look at what was left of the car. To my surprise, the car was in perfect condition, with two occupants, visible in an old black car that looked like it was from the 50s, just like the one in the first story. As in the story, they got out of the car more or less at the same time, but unlike the story they were not in perfect sync, but pretty close still. They were wearing dark jeans and black jackets, but I could not see many details. I immediately felt extremely sick looking at the two men, as if something was extremely wrong with the occupants, something completely unnatural. The men then turned and walked away from the car, in absolute silence and away from the road, in the opposite direction to us. I looked at my senior colleague and asked, 'what the hell was that?' 'What are we going to do?' He also looked shocked, but not at the sight of the two men and their strange car, but at me. He asked what I was talking about, why we stopped in the middle of nowhere, why we were on top of the ravine looking at nothing and why I had my pistol drawn. When I looked back at the men walking away and the car, they were no longer there. They had disappeared. We looked at the exact spot where the car had been and there was nothing, no marks, no footprints, no broken branches, NOTHING. It was as if all this had happened exclusively in my mind. My colleague had advised me not to mention this to anyone, and the more I thought about it, the more it became obvious that he was right. To this day I don't understand what happened, and the more time passes, the more it seems like it was all a lucid dream. An extremely vivid dream.

[@sarhan5568]

Jinn in Arabian culture are supernatural beings. Amongst many other things, they're believed to have the ability to manipulate all human senses. Maybe because your fellow officer was asleep, he wasn't affected by whatever happened to you. I've found very shocking similarities between such entities in different cultures scattering all over the world. Perhaps they're more or less the same thing but slightly varying in their powers and named differently according to the local language.

[@Bye_Good]

As an Aussie, I really appreciate this episode. The outback is no joke. I had an eerie encounter just last night as a matter of fact. I was driving up to visit my family who are a 4 hour drive out of Sydney (where I live in the city). It was late at night and I was on the highway with no other cars on the road. With no street lights or anything like that around, it was pitch black. A single light quickly gained on me from behind - thinking it was a motorbike I didn’t think anything of it until another light then form above that light. Watching in my review mirror I found that peculiar only for a third light to come on above that light. So now there’s three lights above each other. Not side by side like a cars headlights. The lights became extremely bright like high beams and were right behind me. I actually started freaking out a bit and drove faster. I saw a truck way up ahead and decided to catch up and over take the truck. Once in front of the truck and gained some distance I was expecting to see the lights behind me also over take the truck. But there was nothing. Even as I got one hundred and 2 hundred meters ahead there was no one behind that truck. They disappeared once I was in the presence of another vehicle on the road. Totally weird. Never experienced anything like that before. I hope what I wrote makes sense.

An old friend who used to work as a geologist for big mining companies once told me a story of how he and a co-worker experienced lost time driving through the Kimberley region in Western Australia. He said they were driving at night when they checked their position and realised they were inexplicably hundreds of kilometres from where they should have been and the time was many hours later at night than when they last checked only about a half hour earlier. He said it was impossible, and yet the situation was real. The experience had a profound effect on him.

[@AtreyaVichare]

Lost time generally happens when the brain gets tired of repetitive actions or occurrences. So it just kinda goes on autopilot mode. That's why you don't have memories from said lost time. It's creepy, yes. But it happens alot. Sometimes also on a very small scale. I experienced it first hand too. I was 13 when I was watching a cooking show during lunch. Then somehow a little while later I felt hungry and thought I hadn't had lunch yet. I had a literal argument with my mother saying I wanted lunch. When she was saying I'd literally just finished it. She even pulled out my plate from the sink as proof. Well I wasn't very happy, so I washed the plate and had lunch all over again. It was weird alright

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

​@@AtreyaVichareThat is what I call "autopilot". It's a bit different than missing time because people who experience missing time usually have hours worth of time missing. It has happened with groups of people as well which can't be explained by "autopilot". There's also usually some weird events tied to it. Like seeing a UFO, some type of creature, or other high strangeness.

Here's a weird one for you. I was in Darwin in 89 as part of a joint US/Australian navy exercise called Kangaroo x. While in port one night i gazed out over the harbor towards the ocean and noticed this long blue luminescent line extending outward. Upon further investigation it was a line of jellies at the surface. About 3 meters wide and im guessing 500 meters long. Funny thing is a guy on board the ship recorded the image from the upper decks looking down. The jelly formation when viewed this way looked just like morse code. Translated it simply said Home.

Thanks for this one. In a genre dominated by tales from the Northern Hemisphere, it's always nice to hear tales from home - albeit, rather creepy ones at that. The outback is an amazing place, but once the sun goes down it can take on a very eerie vibe. Incidentally, Indigenous Australians weren't cut off from the rest of the world and were actively trading with fishermen from various island communities in what is now Indonesia for at least 1000 years. Just thought you might like that fact. Cheers.

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

I actually knew about that via fan art for Hetalia. The people of the Mauluku Islands would trade with a certain aboriginal nation of Australia for sea cucumbers. Also I remember reading somewhere about claims of Chinese ceramics found in Australia dating back to the Tang Dynasty. I have no doubt there was a point in time in which Australia was part of the Sea Silk Road. Perhaps even back then opals were being collected and traded with merchants from the Majaphait Empire alongside the sea cucumbers. Of course only way to prove it is to find jewelry from the time of the Majaphait Empire with opals. I think there’s a way to trace the minerals that make up gemstones to their point of origin. I would need to refresh my knowledge though.

It’s not the outback, but I used to work in an industry that serviced a lot of agricultural land all around NSW. As a result, I have driven to most regional areas within the state and I’ve seen some weird stuff, but some of the stories I’ve heard are wild. Most of the odd stories, both mine and from others, come from an area called the Pilliga scrub. I was once driving through there at dusk, desperately trying to get to Coonabarabran from Narrabri before nightfall when I had a large rock, maybe 1m in diameter land on the road in front of me. This was a flat bit of road, no hills on either side for a rock to roll down. I didn’t see anything, but for something to fling a rock that size around as easily as it did, it would have to be fairly large itself.

I don’t know much about the Kurdaitcha Man, just stories I’d heard from people on my travels, but from what I understand, they are traditional executioners, usually sent as retribution against people who’ve killed someone, so I’m pretty sure if that’s what it was, I wasn’t the intended target.

We thought it was a fire at first but we knew it wasn't, we knew there is no city/town or even homes there because it is public land, there are no power plants or factories or anything on the other side of the mountain either. It seemed like this red light was just coming from nowhere near its summit. There was an overcast that morning and we could see the light reflecting off the clouds too. It was wild. We only saw it once even though we drove that road at the same time every weekday. Really strange. I honestly forgot about it until I heard this story.

Yes!! Just got home from a crazy shift and laid down, too tired to even take off my boots 😂 🚑 this is the perfect time for a bedtime story...

[@christrickett3291]

My friend had an eerie encounter in Aus with some police who were actually friendly. It really freaked him out.

[@X-Gen-001]

Anyone who's spent enough time in the Aussie outback will tell you it most definitely is an environment of high strangeness. You'll see and experience things you might not ever feel comfortable admitting to yourself let alone trying to explain to other people.

[@raptorblue193]

Im an Aussie and i go solo camping to get away from my house and family. I go in the national park and yesterday I went totally alone and woke up in the middle of the night to someone calling out to me from what sounded to be like 5 metres away. It lasted like 3 minutes until i heard them walk away. I have never had an experience like this before and it scared the hell out of me.

[@LEAHCIM71457]

We love it when you post a new video and always try to find the hidden skulls tucked away . Thanks Bedtime Stories !!!

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

I have NEVER seen a ghost. My sister has seen 2 different ghosts at 2 different houses, where she lived. First house some old guy died in the house. 2nd house used to be a slaughterhouse in the early 1900's. She told me you seen a ghost because they purposely want you to see them. It could be in the daytime, nighttime, whatever. I've been to both houses to visit, never heard/seen anything.

I will always enjoy more in the Highways of Horror series. Watching in the middle of the night with Bunyip, my (very old) cat.

[@Michelle-s4z]

Mate, it's not "bunny ipp". it's "bun yip". Source: am Australian. Also: I grew up in suburbia but went out into rural regions a fair bit as a child. Australia is very beautiful.

[@Jason_Fisher]

As a resident, I can confirm that Australia is an indifferent land, even without any supernatural elements. I have no doubt there’s some weird shit out there.

[@paladin56]

Oh, it's indifferent alright.

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

indifferent? welcome to the universe

[@DJSinisterMetal]

Glad you covered the first story. I read it years ago on a blog called Weird Australia and had been trying to find it again ever since.

[@Me-zo8yc]

The heads turning bit is horrifying

[@eringemini7091]

It makes sense that weird things would happen in rural Australia as its truly an isolated Continent. If weird visitors were to look at the Earth for an isolated area where they might be able to avoid detection; The Down Under" would be the best place.

Thank you for your outstanding work ; as usual :) The permanent on-screen subtitles are a very welcome addition, as a non-native speaker this helps a lot and is so much better than the usual ai-made captions. Take care mate, wish you all the best !

Great to see the illustration of the car's interior showing the steering wheel on the correct side of the car. Driving on the left side of the road is the right side of the road.

When I was living in western Queensland as a kid. I saw a Spitfire plane flying very low whilst I was feeding the pig we had with my dad. I saw and heard it, and I asked my dad, who was standing not far from me if he'd seen it he said no, nor did he hear anything.

Interesting stories all around. The episodes that have been stories out of Australia have been intriguing. I'm always happy to see something from somewhere outside the US. Thank you very much.

[@dj_nyx8903]

I've camped in the outback in a tent and campfire under the stars. Beautifully eerie, it's just isolated. You can also see the milky way at night and what a sight to see. Sometimes the occasional flash of light from comets.

[@tristanbackup2536]

What I want to do. Find the most isolated place to go with a bunch of friends & just camp for a week.

[@spiderbloke1075]

Always a joy when it's bedtime and there is a story 👍

[@littleredwitch]

I heard the 1st story many times and I believe it. If you look for them, Australia is full of really really creepy stories. Please keep them coming. More desolate than Tennant Creek….maybe Balgo. Any American would be scared shitless if travelling through those places.

[@CryptidRenfri]

I've spent many a night travelling highways and dirt tracks through the outback in various old 4wds's. You definitely see some things. I'll say that much.

[@johnnylego807]

Such an excellent episode. Please do more like these. Really liked the variation.

These stories seem to fit quite well into the channel. Would love to hear more from the outback highway stories.

Ya that one was a different version of the first story

[@ashleybass5980]

I asked for another highways episode awhile back. I love these ones 😊 Thankyou

[@SunsetHoney615]

When I was a kid, we would stay on the far south coast in a house in the spotted gum forest. One night I was sitting on my bed and a tall figure made of light walked past my window without making a sound. Scared the shit out of me. My parents put a thick blanket over the window from then on so I could sleep. NFI what it was. An angel? A ghost? Terrified me.

[@6omega2]

Outstanding. The best creepy channel in the entirety of KZbin!

[@OZZY_MOZZIE]

Not the outback, but this is in Australia. Just outside the city of Brisbane, there is a large national park called d'aguiler national park. I hike and camp in there regularly, and there are some weird thing happen there.most notable event took place mid 2023 in the south of the park. I was hiking along a Ridge line with very step drop off's either side. They were step enough I don't thing you'd even be able to climb them without special equipment. But as I was walking I heard what sounded like a baseball bat hitting a tree as hard as humanly possible at what I thought was about 300m away. I thought it was weird at the time but keep moving. About a minute later, I heard it again this time it was closer and from what I could tell it was about 100 to my right down in the valley. Hearing it the second time I I became curious and stopped for a moment to listen. 30 seconds went by not hearing anything before again that sound but this time it sounded like it could be no more then 30m away. For whatever was making the noise to travel between the 3 places I'd hear it it would have needed to cover about 400m as the crow flys but about 120m vertical in only a few minutes. After hear the noise a 3rd time I got shit scared and took off sprinting the last 400m to where the ridges joined. While running i heard the noise once again but this time it sounded like to had crossed the ridge and was on the other side. After it, there was 1 more minute pass when on que the noise further away this time. I waited for about 30 minutes not hearing the sound again before making my way down. On my way out I had to use the same trail and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. From what I know I'm the only person to of had something like this happen but friends and family of mine have told me they've had very strange events happen in the park and sometimes feel like something is watching them. If anyone else has had similar encounters please lmk

On the Newell hwy between Coonabarabran and Gilgandra in n.s.w exists an entity called the "Kadaichi"man.When travelling at night through that area Do Not Stop on the western side of the hwy,if you have to stop make sure you cross the road and wait on the eastern side of the road where you'll be safe.Kadaichi man is real,just ask some of the locals.Never stop there at night,many people have seen it,the koori people talk of a spirit type,very dangerous.Just don't stop there at night(i can't say it enough "DO NOT STOP AT NIGHT")!

I had to stop south of Tenterfield to change a blown tyre (one of the scariest experiences at 100kph) and there was "something" in the bush - probably a roo, but still played on my nerves.

[@SeauxNOLALady]

Australia is one of my top destinations to travel to whenever I finally am able to do so… I had a college friend from Australia that would tell me stories of the beautiful coastlines, the desolate outback interior that stretched for hundreds of miles and was just as wild and pristine as it was before the European colonists started dumping their undesirables and prisoners there. He was also part indigenous from his mother’s side and was very well educated about his culture and traditions. It genuinely sounds like a magical, yet dangerous land unlike any other place on the planet. I would love to visit the entire continent alongside a true native Australian like him. The superstitions and rituals are so unique and moving as well. He told me when his grandfather died they couldn’t say his name ever again. I can’t remember exactly why but I thought it was interesting and touching to hear how his culture grieved for their loved ones.

[@thearticulateinfant849]

I take issue with the statement that 'europeans' started 'dumping their undesirables and prisoners' whilst Australia was set up initially as a penal colony, this isn't the entire story, I'd advise looking into the prevailing social conditions & attitudes of the time. I'd recommend 'the fatal shore' by Robert Hughes as a good start for this period of Australian history.

It's Australia you covered this in the roads of terror episode. From what I know Australia's outback is still active in the paranormal, the veil between ours and theirs is quite weak due to the dreamtime. They were there long before the world came to the land
