There was an old apartment building in downtown Winnipeg dubbed the Demon Hotel.
As they were tearing it down workers would get spooked by spectres and other phantasma. Then is burned down.

Tourists visiting Myrtle Beach in South Carolina could not believe their eyes when they spotted a giant bird soaring through the air with what appeared to be a shark in its claws. The jaw-dropping scene was reportedly captured on film by Ashley White, who saw the remarkable moment from the 17th floor of the hotel where she was staying last week. In the video, a massive bird of prey can be seen clutching onto the rather sizeable denizen of the deep as it valiantly undulates in an attempt to escape the perilous predicament.
White’s footage was subsequently posted to social media and quickly went viral with many people jokingly comparing the video to something from the Sharknado film series. As one might imagine, all manner of armchair wildlife enthusiasts and genuine experts offered opinions as to the nature of the two creatures seen in the video. Based on where the footage was filmed, it was ultimately determined that the bird was most likely an osprey and the fish was either a ladyfish, which resembles a shark, or an Atlantic Spanish Mackerel.
The Crooked Forest is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, Poland.
This grove of 400 pines was planted in the village of Nowe Czarnowo in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the North just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of three to nine feet (1–3 m). It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method was never determined and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, however, there is little evidence of that and nobody knows what happened to the pine trees. Some hypothesize that a unique gravitational pull in this particular area caused the trees to grow curved northwards, but this theory does not hold up to basic scientific scrutiny given that gravity pulls things downward and not at a curve. The site is open to the public and serves as a notable tourist attraction in the region.
Some wake up music.

This Liberty Mutual commercial is creative and funny. But at the end of the commercial the brief jingle makes my skin crawl. It goes Liberty Liberty Liberty, Liberty! And that is it. When a Liberty commercial comes on I have to immediately locate the remote and switch the channel before that gut wrenching jingle starts up.
Board shoe racing is the traditional sport of the Zhuang people of China’s Gunaxi province, a unique discipline that has three people sharing the same “shoes”, which requires perfect coordination and concentration.
Board shoe racing can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, when legend has it that a famous heroine of the Xhuang people used it as a way to train soldiers against invading Japanese pirates. The legendary Mrs. Wa used long pieces of wood to teach the men to march together in perfect synchronization, which greatly improved their combat qualities and boosted their fighting spirit, helping them repel the invaders. The traditional sport has been passed on from generation to generation since then.
This bizarre sport involves three teammates running on the same pair of shoes, which basically consist of two wooden boards and some leather straps to fasten the feet. The boards are one-meter-long, 9cm-wide and 3cm-thick, and using them as shoes for a three-member team requires expert coordination. If one of the three pushes too hard or falls behind, they can cause the entire trio to topple over each other.
In 2005, the National Civil Affairs Commission approved board shoe racing project as an official event at the annual National Minority Traditional Sports Games. It is practiced by both men and women, particularly from the Zhuang people.
“Board shoe racing is a true team sport, and coordination is the most important requirement,” Liu Jianxin, head coach of the Henan board shoe racing team, told Henan Daily. “In addition to improving physical fitness and speed training, it is more about enhancing the team members’ tacit cooperation to the highest it can be.”
