I remember Charlie No Face. My dad actually used him as a boogeyman when I was little. He’d say things like “if you don’t clean your room, Charlie No Face will get you. The only way you can make him go away is if you give him beer and cigarettes. But you’re just a kid, you can’t buy beer and cigarettes so you’re out of luck.” I didn’t know he was real until I was 18 and asked my dad where he came up with Charlie no face, only for him to say he was real. Everyone I knew has parents who used him as a boogeyman, which makes me feel even more bad for the guy.

Another inconsistency with the "Family Gathering" photo is that there's way too much extra space to the left and above the family so as to obviously make room for the ghostly figure.

The one picture of "The Green Man" is a real one of Raymond Robinson, born near Pittsburgh (where I live). He went out for long walks at night because of an extreme electrical accident that severely disfigured his face when he was 8 in fear of alarming the public. When people went looking for him, he often hid but posed for photographs and short conversations for cigarettes and beer. He was struck by a car more than once but continued his walks and died in 1985 at a retirement center.

Basically, people felt chills going near the windows and if they spent long periods in the room, they felt light-headed from the poor air circulation.

The ‘Solway Firth Spaceman’ has been debunked for many years. As the narrator said, it’s Jim’s wife, with her back to the camera. She’s wearing a headscarf (often not mentioned) and dress, her hands on her hips, her arms slightly bend at the elbow. His wife is shown in one of the other photos taken at the time, but often not shown in past news stories and more recent KZbin videos like this of the ‘incident’, so credit to this channel for doing so. There was no spaceman, nothing supernatural, just a coincidence which he capitalised on for years, receiving a fair amount of money from journalists I should imagine, and notoriety, knowing the truth the whole time. I bet he was amused how many people fell for his story.

What sickens me is that people would bully him, beat him up, offer him rides just so they could drive him far away from his home and then leave him there!!! It’s disgusting!!!

[@johannessmithenstein]

@@shawnmaria9064 I had a girlfriend that did that to a guy once. He was kind of mentally disabled, not sure exactly what was wrong with him but he had very little understanding of social cues. She pretended to be his girlfriend to make him do all sorts of embarrassing stuff and basically just bullied him with her other friends. One night she went on a "date" with him in some park pretty far away. She asked him to take off his pants for her which he was obviously happy to do, then her friends came out and grabbed the pants and they all jumped in a car and drove away leaving him to walk home alone in his underwear. The really weird thing was that he never turned on her after she would do these things. Like the very next day she would just talk to him and apologize for what her friends did, and he just continued falling for the same kind of stuff over and over like he had no idea she was in on it. I remember finding that part very strange. I think those kinds of people shouldn't be going through life by themselves. They need constant monitoring.

That happens in lots of locations. Google street view is full of glitches.

Oh yeah I remember hearing about that. I heard the explanation being that the current owners (or at least the ones at that time) were sick of people constantly invading their privacy and asked Google to remove their home from being viewed on Maps. Don’t know if that’s true, but I can’t fully blame them if it is.

[@TheObscureMediaArchive]

one of the boys in the "Family Gathering" photo (who is about 60 now) came out with some more photos of him and his brother in the same room. He said that his mother had a habit of misplacing photos, which is likely how it left the family's possession. He said that the original version of it was in color and he remembers seeing it at a young age. He's invested in the mystery as well because he'd like to see that photo again unaltered.

Raymond Robinson aka “Charlie No Face” lived right above my grandparents house in Koppel, PA.. They never had anything bad to say about him and said he was a pretty nice guy. Even though this was all before phones and social media, the video is 100% right that people would go looking for him and even mess with him. Its crazy but people still talk about him and try to connect him to some kind of paranormal story that never happened. Its a pretty sad story at the end of the day. He was a Legend.

[@courier665]

It's so heart breaking to hear about his situation and how horrible people would try to mess with him. What kind of monsters would go out of their way to mess with a blind man burn victim? Hopefully his story can be told as a cautionary tale to not judge others by their appearance. Shame on those horrible people.

He walked at night, less of a chance to be bullied or acosted by small minded folk. A lot of ppl gave him cigarettes and pop, sometimes snacks.

In the 'space man' photo with the little girl, the reason the head of the 'space man' looks like that is because it's a head scarf. It was extremely common up until the 80s for older women to wear them in the UK, and I am absolutely convinced that figure is his wife.
