that you'd like to share you can just email me to be featured with a shout out in a future episode of weird news village turns to volunteer ghosts to keep people home during pandemic in 2020 the authorities of kepa village in java indonesia found a hilariously inventive way to keep locals safe at home during the coronavirus outbreak playing in the local superstitions about po kong which are sinister spirits of the dead in indonesian folklore volunteers were given costumes and assigned the task of thoroughly spooking late night stragglers as the area had seen huge amounts of unnecessary public outings and gatherings despite government health warnings clearly it was time to get creative sneaking up on anyone seen loitering in the streets the ghostly figures delivered such frights that the village actually reported a decrease in people unnecessarily wandering the streets after their deployment i'm not surprised if i saw something like that approaching me in the dead of night i'd never leave the house again ghost in girl's apartment turns out to be stranger hiding in closet in 2019 a student of the university of north carolina began noticing strange things around her apartment her clothes would randomly go missing and eerie hand prints would appear on their bathroom wall leading her and her roommates to worry they might have a poltergeist on their hands but things went from weird to downright terrifying when the student returned to her apartment one afternoon and heard strange sounds inside her closet not expecting an answer she called out who's there to her horror a voice replied oh my name's drew shocked she threw open the closet door revealing a disheveled looking man wearing some of her clothes instead of screaming and fleeing though the brave-hearted student subtly called her boyfriend while keeping the intruder occupied she casually chatted with him while he wandered around her apartment trying on clothing like her hat until her boyfriend arrived and told the uninvited guest to leave he was arrested soon afterwards with no way to know how long the closet creeper had been there nor what he'd have eventually done if left undiscovered it was an encounter the student would never forget chinese drivers try to deter nighttime high beam use with scary decals there's nothing more annoying on a nighttime drive than someone behind you with their high beams shining on full blast while most of us would probably retaliate to this blindingly inconsiderate road etiquette with a few choice words under our breath chinese motorists came up with a better idea in 2016 they began attaching terrifying light reflecting decals of ghostly apparitions to their rear windows ensuring instant revenge for drivers excessively blaring their high beams considering the fact that seeing one of these decals would probably scare me directly into a ditch it may be going a little too far the police in the city of jinan seemed to share this sentiment as they announced anyone caught using this tactic would be heavily fined which is bad luck for anyone whose car is genuinely haunted by ghosts that like to hang out in the backseat the annual halloween polar bear invasion will begin soon this bizarre headline came straight out of churchill a town in canada's arctic territory with a reputation as the polar bear capital of the world alarmingly the claims of a halloween polar bear invasion are no exaggeration large numbers of the deadly carnivores gather in the surrounding areas in the fall waiting for the winter's sea ice to form so they can go hunting seals this yearly gathering often sees polar bears wandering into town posing a serious threat to locals the polar bear presence reaches its peak around halloween so to keep trick-or-treaters safe armed volunteers patrol the streets keeping an eye out while helicopters scout from above because of the gun-toting patrols trick-or-treaters are banned from dressing up as ghosts skeletons or anything else that might be mistaken for a white-coated bear but the safety measures are no overreaction halloween party goers have been attacked in the past one young woman was attacked on her way home on halloween 2013 and barely escaped with her life with hungry bears being a deadly reality there's no need to watch scary movies on halloween in churchill canada you only need to look out the window alien eggs are not what they seem for anyone familiar with ridley scott's alien movie franchise stumbling across a field full of these things is sure to strike terror into their heart remarkably similar in appearance to the eggs laid by the sci-fi series's xenomorphs you'd half expect the strange-looking objects to burst open unleashing hideous face-hugging aliens into the countryside but thankfully that couldn't be further from the truth it turns out these alien eggs which made headlines in early 2020 were nothing more than frozen cabbages these elongated chinese cabbages have been frozen internally by frost causing the outer layer to rot and slough off while the inside remains fresh in fact farmers assert that the frost actually increases the sweetness of the vegetable so while they look truly alien the cabbages aren't deadly in the slightest still with the memories of alien face huggers fresh in my mind i'll be keeping my mouth far away british town blames spiders for ghostly sound of children singing at night in september 2018 in ipswich england locals found themselves petrified on an almost nightly basis by the sound of this haunted singing [Music] thoroughly creeped out by what seemed to be a ghostly child's midnight melodies one woman reported the goings-on to the local borough council upon investigation the eerie sounds were found to be coming from an industrial property nearby but the property wasn't haunted it turned out the sounds were coming from loudspeakers and the music was intended as a deterrent to trespassers the idea was if someone snuck into the property at night motion sensors would trigger the music scaring the heebie jeebies out of them and prompting them to leave it was a pretty great idea in theory but what actually happened was that spiders had been crawling onto the lenses of the motion detecting cameras this was inadvertently triggering the music which was loud enough to be heard by nearby residents needless to say the locals were relieved not just because the alarm music was subsequently turned down but because they wouldn't need to call in the exorcist after all baby named frankenstein born at florida hospital on halloween on the night of halloween seeing kids dressed as frankenstein's monster is to be expected but the unbelievable coincidence that occurred in florida's winter park memorial hospital in 2017 was completely unexpected when a baby with a surname frankenstein was born on halloween born to parents kyle and jessica frankenstein the little monster was given the name oscar rather than victor like the famous character whose surname he shares while that feels somewhat like a missed opportunity i'm sure oscar's schoolmates will waste no time in pointing out his surname and birthday's unusual connection when he gets older but in case little oscar's coincidental birth date wasn't enough his aunt shares the same birthday as mary shelley author of the original frankenstein novel at this point it almost feels like the family should be collecting monster movie royalties if oscar doesn't grow up to be a nutty professor with a taste for pushing the boundaries of life and death i have to say i'll be a little disappointed amazon removes distasteful coronavirus halloween masks from sale when halloween rolls around some people really like to put the effort in to have the scariest costume on the street considering the fact that a global pandemic struck in 2020 halloween mask makers clocked in onto the idea that something covet themed might bring the scares better than anything else but when a chinese mask company from guangdong china began selling coronavirus monster masks on amazon in september 2020 it wasn't long before people started to complain of course under normal circumstances these masks would have made a pretty great halloween costume but the fact that over 1 million people worldwide have died from the virus made it seem an ever so slightly poor taste and amazon soon removed the masks from sail that said these generic non-specific virus-themed masks are still available though for legal reasons i must state any similarity to real-world viruses is purely coincidental burger king dresses up as mcdonald's for halloween back in 2016 it wasn't just people dressing up for halloween a burger king restaurant in new york city got in on the action too in the city's rego park neighborhood white sheets could be seen flapping in the wind over the burger king sign and building as the branch dressed up as the ghost of mcdonald's with yellow arches spray painted above the eye holes and the word mcdonald's scrawled below the disguise probably didn't fool anyone but it certainly raised a few eyebrows the restaurant even modified their burger boxes to match the storefront complete with a happy halloween message clarifying the joke for any confused customers while this all may seem like a lawsuit waiting to happen mcdonald's actually took the pranks surprisingly well seemingly grateful for the free publicity a spokesperson responded who wouldn't want to masquerade his mcdonald's for halloween they have a point although i think dressing up as whatever goes into chick mcnuggets might be scarier 3d printing expert makes eerily realistic mask of his own face in april 2020 a 3d scanning expert who goes by the twitter handle silver eel made headlines after one of his creations both amazed and slightly creeped out the internet using high-tech facial scanning software alongside a state-of-the-art 3d printer the twitter user created an eerily realistic replication of his own face every little detail was captured in the scan from his beard hair to the dimples on his skin the gifted creator claims his mask comes in very handy during online video meetings where he can catch some shut-eye when things get a little boring without upsetting his colleagues all he needs to do is make sure his face doesn't fall off midway through his boss's breakdowns of their quarterly earnings gravedigger dies after falling into grave he just dug in february 2017 british tabloid newspaper the express shared a tragic tale of one man's darkly fitting demise a portuguese gravedigger in the municipality of frasier had just finished digging a grey for a funeral later that day when he reportedly fainted and fell straight into the freshly dug hole when a passerby eventually spotted the unfortunate fellow at the bottom of the pit he called an ambulance but it was too late the man had been critically injured in the fall and was officially declared dead at the hospital admittedly this story is so ridiculous you might be inclined to question the truthfulness of the express newspaper considering their track record of headlines like alien reptile face discovered on mars and cloud over california was created by alien ships your doubts are certainly justified but however truthful it may or may not be there's no denying it's a prime cut piece of weird news northampton clown claims reign of terror is just harmless fun when locals of northampton england began encountering a creepy clown lurking motionless on the town's streets at night time in 2013 they were understandably frightened word about the clown spread quickly and soon the town's social media pages were rife with people sharing their encounters but to the surprise of those who'd seen the clown the man behind the makeup and balloons ended up giving an interview to a local newspaper he revealed that despite how spooked the locals had been by his peculiar antics he'd never intended to genuinely scare anybody what had started off as a promotional photograph of the clown for a college film project evolved into his regular appearances around town which he viewed as harmless fun maybe he's right but it might not have been so harmless if he'd frightened someone with a big fear clowns and a big love of punching to match [Music] mystery intruder breaks into house cleans it and leaves of all the ways to find out your home has been broken into realizing it's cleaner than it was when you left is hardly the norm but that's exactly what happened to one man from massachusetts in 2019 returning home from work one evening he was awestruck to find all the beds had been made the rooms tidied neatly the rugs vacuumed and the toilets thoroughly scrubbed there were even perfectly crafted origami roses left on the toilet rolls like the calling card of the world's nicest psychopath needless to say the homeowner was utterly baffled by the discovery and more than a little creeped out by the fact that someone had been into his home while he was out but the nature of the break-in didn't seem to suggest any real malicious intent judging by how great of a job they did it seems a professional cleaner may have found their way into the house mistaking it for clients as yet no one has come forward it seems the rubber glove bandit is still at large keeping their weapon of choice disinfectant close by man complaining of an ear rake had a whole family of cockroaches living in ear canal have you ever felt a little tickle inside your ear and had the sudden fear that some creepy crawly may have found its way in usually it's nothing more than internal hairs inside brushing up against the ear canal but for one man in china in 2019 it was something truly nightmarish after he noticed a painful itch deep within his ear canal the concerned fellow visited an ear specialist who was shocked by what he discovered inside more than 10 baby cockroaches were squirming around inside the ear as well as the mother who'd laid her eggs between the fleshy walls thankfully the ear hole lodging family were quickly removed before they could get properly settled in the specialist strongly advised his patient not to leave any food near his bedside in the future as this habit seemed to be what had attracted cockroaches near his sleeping head after such a horrific experience i doubt he needed to be told twice bride shocks wedding guests by arriving in coffin every hopeless romantic wants their wedding day to be one to remember but for one woman from england a distinctive wedding day didn't involve extravagant decorations or fancy ballrooms instead hers involved arriving in a coffin with no particular motivation besides wanting her wedding to be a little different the bride hitched a ride to the wedding in a customized coffin belonging to her brother bizarrely her brother who was very much alive had received the coffin as a gift from his daughter and it had been modified to function as a morbid looking trailer whether there was some deeper meaning related to the phrase till death to his part is unknown but the grim reaper painted on the coffin certainly brings the idea to mind on the bright side if anyone in the family does pass away at least they'll save money on the funeral procession bionic filmmaker replaces one of his eyeballs with a camera when canadian documentary filmmaker rob spence was just a kid he accidentally shot himself in the eye while playing with a pistol he went through life blind in one eye until he was in his 40s when he decided to try something crazy in 2007 rob had his blind eye removed later replacing it with a remarkable prosthetic eye that doubles as a video camera the tiny camera transmits its recordings via a radio frequency transmitter to a handheld monitor allowing for a truly unique approach to filmmaking while rob can't directly see through his prosthetic eye camera he can still keep his real eye on whatever's being captured by the monitor while you may be thinking what a great undercover spy this would make rob his eye camera glows red when recording so people are aware it's not particularly subtle and only has enough charge to record around 30 minutes of footage but that's okay rob isn't trying to spy on anyone but it's comforting to know that if he tried to we'd know about it burger king's black whopper is turning people's poop green when burger king announced they were releasing a black colored version of their famous whopper burger as a halloween promotion people were confused but that initial confusion was nothing compared to the people who purchased said burker ate said burger and inevitably pooped said burger that's because when those people went to flush away what the burger had become post-digestion they were shocked to find their toilet bowl looking like shrek's drunken self-portrait that is to say it turned their poop bright green twitter users were quick to share their fecal findings online with reactions ranging from mild amusement to creeped out but luckily the unusual coloration wasn't a sign of anything harmful at least not any more harmful than a fast food burger usually is it turned out the buns were dyed black by using a combination of blue red yellow and caramel food colorings most of these were absorbed in customers guts but some of the blue food coloring made it through the intestines this mixed with yellow green bile in the small intestine and possibly some remaining yellow food dye turning the digestive food a vibrant shade of green those resulting verdant poops were completely harmless but still pretty gross i'll stick to the regular whopper those calories are plenty scary enough people urge to stop using dead bats as decorations in the same way that every street has that one house that takes christmas decorations too far some streets have a show-off who goes decoration crazy whenever halloween rolls around but in a bizarre turn of events the u.s center for disease control had to issue an official message in 2018 urging people not to use real bats as halloween decorations the message came after several shipments of illegal dead bats were seized having been ordered from abroad by people hoping to deck out their homes for halloween while hanging real taxidermized bats from your wall is certainly one way to scare the local kids the cdc noted it's also a quick way to get seriously ill with the risk of infection from foreign diseases the bats may be carrying to which americans may have no immunity the decorations were even more sinister than they seemed especially for unsuspecting trick-or-treaters which even if you really really hate your neighbors is taking things a little far woman uses pets to make clothes many people are familiar with the feeling of receiving an itchy sweater as a gift but it could always be worse it could be made from your grandma's pet's fur though this may sound slightly creepy making yarn and clothing from the fur of cats and dogs is the specialty of marion wheatland of melbourne australia making the headlines in 2016 marion's unique approach to clothing uses malted fur from pets allowing pet owners to be close to their furry friends even while away from home or in some cases as a keepsake after a pet has died the practice which uses the same yarn spinning techniques as those used for standard wool has become increasingly common in recent years with people all over the world fashioning yarn from their pet's fur waste not what not i suppose but if you do wear your kitty's fur as a scarf don't be surprised when it starts grooming you baby-faced creations create a stir for taxidermist being a taxidermist isn't easy for some reason people seem to think stuffing and preserving the remains of dead animals for a living is a little creepy but andrew lancaster doesn't exactly help the creepy stereotype that's because this new zealand taxidermist doesn't just preserve dead animals he combines them into terrifying hybrids and occasionally even slaps doll's heads on them for good measure with his finest masterpieces including three-headed chickens and winged possums andrew fashions his creations largely out of roadkill marketing them as the perfect gift for taxidermy collectors who want something completely unique but given how unnerving they are i'm sure they work just as well when sent as an ominous threat to your enemies outrage over handbag allegedly made with ethically sourced human spine in april 2020 an indonesian fashion designer by the name of arnold putra stirred up outrage when the press caught wind of his controversial approach to clothing the outrage was pretty reasonable considering putra had listed a handbag for sale for five thousand dollars with a strap allegedly made from a real human spine while many were doubtful about this claim the fashion designer asserted in interviews that it was indeed a real spine and anatomical experts voiced reluctant agreement with the claim when consulted putra stated he'd ethically sourced the spine from medical surplus in canada though just how ethically someone can turn human remains into fashion items is something to debate in the comments below considering the rest of the bag was supposedly fashioned out of alligator tongue i'd say this abomination falls into the category of as humans let's never do this again 10 year old pulls gun on woman who joked about stealing his candy there are many ways to receive a fright on halloween but one woman was served a truly unexpected trick with no treat in 2011 after she spotted a group of youngsters she recognized trick-or-treating along the streets of aiken south carolina she jokingly threatened to steal their candy one ten-year-old among the group didn't take too kindly to this joke and in response pulled out a nine millimeter handgun pointing it right at her needless to say the woman was shocked and while the gun was thankfully unloaded the police were called in right away upon investigating the cops were astounded to find that the gun was real and the boy was actually carrying a clip of ammunition with him on top of that another boy in the group the brother of the first was also carrying a gun of his own some further digging soon revealed that the boys had stolen their weapons from their grandfather without his knowledge or permission while the boys got off with a slap on the wrist here's hoping old grandpa gunslinger learned to be a little more careful with where he left his deadly firearms in the future otherwise hollywood may end up with a new inspiration for a true crime halloween horror movie the gunner from the 4th grade what's the strangest local news story
