Most Out There stories are about UFOs, bigfoot and other mysteries. It’s not often that we get a story of a miracle this extraordinary, and especially in view of the site’s last weekender, I thought that it definitely qualifies for inclusion here. A woman’s SUV was sinking in flood waters in the recent Colorado storms, and she was saved at the last minute. But there’s quite a kicker. Watch the video to the end and prepare to be amazed.

As we leave the darkness of All Hallow’s Eve behind and wake to the sanctity of All Hallows Day, or All Souls Day as it is also known, Unknowncountry looks at the presence of angels in modern-day life.

The word "angel" derives from the Greek "angelos", meaning "messenger, and angels are generally accepted to be messengers of God, spiritual beings of pure love sent to do God’s work on Earth. Angels are present in large numbers throughout religious history, but when it comes to acknowledging their existence in our current reality, angel sightings are often treated in much the same way as encounters with ghosts, as a "paranormal" entity.
