  Speaker 1: Hello everybody, sure how did hand here? Welcome back once
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: again for a look at some of the strangest news
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: stories that I could find. So we'll jump right in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: today with this one. Potential breakthrough was scientists climbed two
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: people communicated in their dreams in world first. Scientists have
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: brought science fiction one step closer to reality by achieving
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the first two-way communication between individuals during lucid dreaming. Now
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this comes from a company called Remspace, a California-based startup
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that designs technology to enhance sleep and lucid dreaming. Apparently
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: they use specially designed equipment, which included a server, an apparatus,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Wi-Fi and sensors, but they did not specify exactly what
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: technology they used. The study participants were asleep in separate
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: homes when Remspace researchers beamed a word created through a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: unique language between them. Remspace CEO and founder Michael Raduger
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: said yesterday communicating in dreams seemed like science fiction. Tomorrow
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: would be so common we won't be able to imagine
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: our lives without this technology. To open a door to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: countless commercial applications, reshaping how we think about communication and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: interaction in a dream, they're going to put adverts in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: our dreams aren't they? Yeah, I can see where this
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is going. The technology has yet to be reviewed all
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: replicated by scientists. Yeah, apparently they were asleep in their
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: own homes, they were hooked up to some device. Once
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the server detected that one of them was in a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: lucid dream, it generated a random word and transmitted it
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to him via earbuds. The participant would then repeat the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: word in his dream and that response was captured and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: stored in the server. Eight minutes later, the second participant
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: entered a lucid dream. The server transmitted the stored message
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: from the first participant to her, which she repeated upon awakening. Okay,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: so this is the CEO of the company here and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this doesn't seem related to this experiment directly, but apparently
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he implanted an electrode into his brain to control his dreams.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: There is in 2023 he put his life on the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: line when he attempted to implant a microchip in his
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: own brain to control his dreams. Crissom footage of the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: procedure shows him holding skin back with paper clips whilst
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: bulldozing the back of his skull using a drill he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: found at a hardware store. Alright, he inserted the chip
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: into his brain after watching hours of neurosurgery, the internet
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: recordings and practicing on five sheep. He told no one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of his plant, this is a true mud scientist right here,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: look at this guy. What the hell's going on? Well,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that cleared everything up, didn't it? Okay, I'm glad I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: watched that. Father of woman who vanished in 1986 uses
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: psychic to track down body, but there's a heartbreaking twist.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: A mean father has been searching for his daughter since
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: 1986 and was left heartbroken after a psychic helped him
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to one earth human remains, but the body parts belong
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to someone else. Richard Dick Morrow discovered the remains on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Saturday in Jay, roughly 70 miles outside of Portland, behind
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a bowling alley. The psychic had a very strong feeling
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that there was something up there, he told VMWR, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: she wasn't sure what it was. Then in about 10 minutes,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: she turned around and came back and said, Dick, you've
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: got to get up here now. He was hoping to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: find a body of a 17-year-old daughter Kim Morrow, who
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: had been missing since May 1986. She left the home
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on Jewel Street and was only supposed to be gone
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: an hour, but she never returned. The bones found over
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the weekend were a mere block over and up the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hill from the family's home. There's Kim Morrow. The Maine
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: State Police dug up the bones and took them to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the chief medical examiner's office for identification, where they learned
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: skeleton belonged to a male. It's a disappointment in some
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ways to Father Set, but we've got to remember and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: look at it from our point of view. We're one
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of the families who has a missing loved one. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: will have a family that's going to have closure now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So it isn't us, but one of these times it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: got to be. That's quite a positive way to look
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at it, I suppose. At around the same time that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Kim went missing, Harold Simpson, a 28-year-old man, also disappeared.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The bones found on Saturday have not yet been identified.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This point has been 38 years and we haven't found
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it yet, but we will. We will never quit. Sad
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that this man hasn't found his daughter yet. but interesting
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that the psychic felt that there was a body in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a particular area and that they found a body there,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: even though it didn't turn out to be his daughter.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, I suppose. Okay, this one's weird. Bizarre pet
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: cloud reappears above its favorite spot in New Zealand. A
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: recent satellite image captured the re-emergence of a unique UFO-like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: cloud known as the Tiree Pet, which appeared just above
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: New Zealand's South Island, where conditions are just right. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: there it is. This definitely looks like something unnatural. This
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: reminds me of an illustration in one of my favorite
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: books when I was a kid. I've still got my
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: copy from when I was a child. It's called Monstrosities
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: by Charles Fudge. Fudge, I don't know how you say it,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but it's basically just a collection of creepy poems written
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: by various people, but what really makes this book is
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the incredibly disturbing illustrations. I don't know if this book
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is still in print. If it's not, it's a damn
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: shame because yeah, the illustrations are well worth purchase. There's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a poem in here called Alone and the illustration. I'll
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: show the picture, look at this. It reminds me of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that thing. And this one with a tree man looking
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: for the window always gives me the creeps. Still does now,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to be honest. Imagine waking up in the night and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that thing's looking through at you. The freaky formation often
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: appears in the same spot thanks to a nearby mountain range,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and is also sometimes confused with a UFO. Although it
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: can vary in size, the clouds always look very similar
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and appear in almost the same spot. This picture was
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: taken in 1951, so it's been around for a long time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That thing's definitely got a face, isn't it? Yeah, that's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: definitely the demon from my book. Extreme eater 24 dies
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: during a live stream of 10-hour food binge after a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: stomach is ripped open. Han Xiaoting died whilst live streaming
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at 10-hour eating binge. She died after gorging on cake,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: chicken fingers, and seafood in front of thousands of her followers.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The woman from China died from a suspected stomach tear
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: whilst eating up to 10 kilograms of food. According to reports,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: her autopsy revealed her stomach had been severely deformed and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was filled with undigested food at the time of her death.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Her stomach is believed to have burst. So she began
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: her 10-hour eating live stream on July 14 where she collapsed.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: She would eat alone in front of a camera and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: managed to garner a massive fan following. Xiao Ting was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hospitalized due to gastrointestinal bleeding after she took up the challenge. However,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: she started a new round of binge eating that day
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: after she was discharged. She died on July 14th. Alright,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: so I mean, this should have been a warning sign,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: shouldn't it? You're eating so much you end up in hospital.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And then the next day you just start up again. Alright,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: there she is. There she is, she's eating away. Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I've never really got the whole mukbang thing, but I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: guess some people like it. Seems like it has some
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: tragic consequences. This one's kind of an old story, but
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it popped up on my feed. I thought I would
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: cover it. Residents of Granada Village demand exorcism after ghost
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: child is spotted in town hall. Oh no, I've got
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to sign up for this one, damn it. I found
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a free version. It's the sun. Good old sun. Spooked
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: out Spanish town demands exorcist after freaked out council workers
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: snaps chilling picture of ghost girl stalking the town hall.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The man was plunged into a state of panic and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: locked himself in the office. And there's the picture of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the ghost girl. So the counselor was working late in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this place. Need Granada in Spain when he noticed the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: air suddenly turned icy cold. He put on his coat
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and went to the bathroom, but was startled by an
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: unusual noise. I heard a strange rustling sound in the hallway,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like someone was dragging files across the floor. He was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: worried that it was a burglar so he grabbed his
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: phone to call the police, but instead decided to take
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a picture to see if anyone was there. At first
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he thought the corridor was clear, but soon afterwards he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: inspected the picture more closely and saw the ghostly little girl.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He was plunged into a state of panic and locked
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: himself in the office and sent a photograph to a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp group of his fellow government workers. It's a strange
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: picture in it. They're always like this though. They're so
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: grainy and full of artifacts that you can't really tell
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: exactly what you're looking at here. Now the mayor has
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: been urged to hire an exorcist after other staff reported
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: feeling the ethereal cold. Very scary, I think you'll agree.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Mattel deeply regrets porn site misprint on wicked dolls. The
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: toy manufacturer Mattel said it deeply regrets a misprint on
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: packaging for dolls inspired by the new Wicked movie, which
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: listed the address for an adult website. The company recently
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: released the singing dolls ahead of the longer-waited film. Is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it longer-waited? It looks awful to me, but then I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: guess I'm not the target audience here. Eagle-eyed fans posted
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: images on social media showing the packaging had a pornography
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: website on it instead of the movie's web address. In
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a statement Mattel apologized for the unfortunate error and advised
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: parents that misprinted website is not a program for children.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Woman discovers rat remains in loaf of sasco bread. It's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: like a it's like a Damien Hirst art installation isn't it? Beautiful,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. Oh, is that a skull? Let it have
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a face on my god. Turn it over, I want
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to see the face on the other side. Okay, that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: was absolutely horrifying. Quick, we've got to pad out this
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: article about a rat in a loaf of bread. What
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: can we write? So she says, I recently bought bread
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: from the spa on August 27th. On the same day
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I made toast after work and ate the bread. The
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: following day after work I did the same thing. Then
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: on the morning of August 31st, I took the bread
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out of the fridge to make toast and noticed something
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: disgusting and scary. I took a picture and sent it
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to my friends and one of them said, that's a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: rat friend. Or did they say that's a rat friend? Oh,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you've got a little rat friend in your bread. I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was in denial and suggested it might be something else,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but the rat scenario made sense. She sent an email
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: with the recording and pictures of the bread to the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: supplier and they replied saying that the bread just had mold.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Sounds about right. And then no one said anything. I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: think what happened was no one said anything hoping it
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: would just go away and it garnered over 2000 shares
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and over 1000 comments. So then someone from the company
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: actually got back to them and said, Mom, I'm from Sasko.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I'm calling regarding your recent experience with our products. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: sincerely apologize for what happened to you. It shouldn't have happened,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but you must understand that it gets hot where we
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: bake our products. So things like this are bound to happen. Yes,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I admit your bread had a mouse or rats. We
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: are putting measures in place to prevent this from happening again.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, it won't affect you health-wise. Oh, that's reassuring.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: McCumbler said that the apology only made it angrier. Instead
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of saying sorry, they told me to understand that the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: bread gets hot where they bake. And that's why there's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a rat in my bread. It gets hot of course
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: as a rat in your bread. Okay, anyway, that's a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: disgusting video. That was worth tuning in for, wasn't it?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Mystery as prankster Phil Stemion with urine at the UK's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: biggest police station leaving officer's shirt stained yellow and sparking
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: criminal damage probe. Our prankster has hit Britain's biggest police
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: station and filled it a locker steam iron with his
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: own urine. How did he know it's a he? Better
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: aim I guess. An inquiry has been launched to find
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the person responsible for criminal damage at Charing Cross police
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: station in central London. The force is now investigating the incidents,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: including checking through the rotor to see which members of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: staff were on shift at the time of the offences.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Retired Met Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville told The Sun.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: This has no doubt caused quite a stink. A joke's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: one thing, but this is taking then you know what.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I can't believe The Sun reached out to a retired
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Detective Chief Inspector for comment on the urine incident. This
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: is a different type of inquiry to the ones usually
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: launched following leaks. He said he had all the puns ready,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: didn't he? He said it would be a relief when
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the slash of the yard was caught. Man he had
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: these ready. I reckon this guy, I reckon this guy McNeville.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: He seemed to have all these puns lined up ready
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for this incident. I reckon he should be the prime
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: suspect in this case. This one's a weird one. A
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Walmart employee ended up in one of the walk-in ovens
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and baked the death basically. Absolutely horrifying way to go. Yeah,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: there's a bit of mystery about how it actually happened
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: because apparently you can open them from the inside and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: there's no reason why someone should have got locked in there.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: A Walmart employee has given a new chilling explanation after
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: her 19-year-old co-worker was baked to death in the walk-in oven.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Last week the remains of Gershman Kaur, a residence of Halifax,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Nova Scotia, was found dead in one of the superstar's appliances.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: In an effort to understand the nature of the gruesome murder,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: So I don't know whether it is a murder investigation,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: but the mirror definitely seems to think it was. These
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: ovens are so hard to shut from the outside you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have to push them. Show you. You know, when you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: open too hard, when you just put the amount of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: them above it, let's see what happens. There is no
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: way that this girl locked herself into one of these
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: ovens while cleaning it. No way possible. I'm just showing
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you the emergency button. It doesn't pop. It pops it
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: all open. If this will really close by itself, it doesn't.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It doesn't wrap. It's the time to actually go. Oh
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: don't do it. This is the oven. Not a little,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: not big. Just enough to fit what like three racks
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of bread in there. That's the push button that you're
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: supposed to press in case of an emergency. That will
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: release the door knob. Why was she in there when
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the other was on? These ovens are so hard to open. Yeah, mysterious.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That's strange. In an official statement, the Halifax police said
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the investigation determined the death was not suspicious and there
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: was no evidence of foul play. So we understand that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there have been many questions about what happened. Thura investigations
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: take time. As part of the investigation, we conducted several
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: interviews and reviewed video footage. I can share that our
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: investigation has not led to suspect foul play. We do
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: not believe anyone else was involved. A strange case, but
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: apparently they just think she walked in there and died.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Clawed AI gets bored during coding demonstration. It starts perusing
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: photos of national parks instead. I was getting a bit
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: suspicious of these things. Maybe it's just a stunt to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: get a bit of publicity for the AI model. This
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: could all be fake. They're like, oh no, look, our
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: AI is so intelligent. It's so human-like that it started
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: just googling random pictures for fun. With Claude, the Amazon
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: back startup brags that its latest model can now use
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: computers the way people do, such as moving a cursor
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and inputting keystrokes and mouse clicks. This means Claude can
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: potentially control your entire desktop. What a terrifying thought. Don't
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: click on that folder, Claude. This is just another example
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of AI getting out of hand. Now apparently they can
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: control our computers and God knows what their cold robot
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: mind's gonna do next. Anyway, they're here. Oh yeah, I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: saw this with you. Let's see if we can get
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: this playing again. There we go. I can load it now.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: So here we go. Here's the lady. Let's see if
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: we can get it full screen. There we go. Watch her.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: She's fine. Hey, I'm walking here. Look at this guy.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You're kidding me. Alright, anyway. Yeah, good. I'm glad she's alright.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I could have been way worse. Devil's digits. 6 9
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: 0 4 5 2, oh, I've said it out loud
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: now so it's gonna happen. Why are people writing heaven
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: or hell number on RSTS in viral TikTok trend? Read
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: on to know what happens when you write the eerie
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: number on your wrist. I can't wait. Social media users
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: are writing a bizarre combination of digits dubbed heaven or
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: hell number on their wrists. Here's everything you need to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: know about this dangerous TikTok trend. The 690452 TikTok trend
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: is a creepy internet challenge that was first trending in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: 2021 but has made a comeback in 2024. The bizarre
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: trend sees users write this number on their wrists before
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: going to sleep. Legend has it that the 690452 number
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is known as the heaven or hell number or the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: devil's digits and can transport you to a parallel universe
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: whilst you're asleep. It is said to be a gateway
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to an unescapable dream state where you live a cursed
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: life all the while dreaming whilst you are asleep. It's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: claimed that if you go to sleep with the number
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: written on your wrist you will see creepy things in
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: your dreams like demons, headless humans, dark alleys, and giant monsters.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: What makes the challenge even more interesting is the claim
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that if you die in your dreams you will die
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in real life too. The trend has now gone viral
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: on the internet after TikTok users and cult fanatics began
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: posting recordings showing them writing the number sequence on their
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: wrists just before going to sleep. No one knows the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: true origins of the number. Many TikTok users who attempted
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to trend said it didn't work for them. Whilst some
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: said that they were indeed stuck in a creepy lucid
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: state that seemed far more dangerous than a regular nightmare.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I want to see some recordings of people doing it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Oh I can't be bothered. Look at TikTok
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: in it. Anyway there we go. It's a TikTok trend.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Don't write that number on your wrist. Ghosts will get you.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Friends captured terrifying creature watching them from the garden in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Was it a skinwalker? I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. Why are you asking me? The recording went
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: viral on TikTok after a group of friends caught a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: supposed skinwalker watching them from the garden in the middle
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of the night. What was it? I don't know. I've
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: got the creepy music on so it's definitely the right video.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: It is some friends sitting around but then why would
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they turn the camera around and film out the window
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: like that? Unless they knew it was already there. That
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. It looked like they're having a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: fun time anyway. A group of friends can be seen
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: enjoying a succulent Chinese meal. The scariest thing about the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: recording is that the supposed ghost does not take its
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: gaze off the people living in the house for a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: second as if it was planning its next move. Yeah
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I mean if it's a fake video just just a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: tip for people making spooky ghost recordings. You want to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: capture these things sort of accidentally. If you just turn
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: in the camera round and zooming in on the thing
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: it makes me think it's just like a statue or
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: something weird in the garden. I feel like you could
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: add that standard TikTok spooky music to anything and it
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: would be creepy. Hope you enjoyed the episode. Thank you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: very much. Goodbye. Hello everybody. Let's jump right in with
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the most important news. Falmouth ghost haunts walkers by telling
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: them to F off at the site of an 18th
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: century murder in Somerset's Dead Woman's Ditch. A bad man
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: had ghosted haunting a famous beauty spot and telling unsuspecting
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: walkers to F off. The area's named after the murder
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of Jane Wolford by her husband John in 1789. There
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: were reports of a sweary apparition two years ago but
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: after a brief holiday she seems to be back at
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a sharp-tongued worst. One resident said when I was 17
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: on my way home from work driving along a cold
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: road I saw a bright white figure on the side
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of the road so I slowed down. It appeared to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: be a woman completely dressed in white old-fashioned clothing. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: couldn't take my eyes off as I drove past. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: couldn't bring myself to turn around to have another look.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I just drove home in complete shock. Fuck off, fuck off,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: fuck off, fuck off, get out. Another said, I've seen
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: what looks like a tall figure with a long dark
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: coat on outside the pub on the edge of the road.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Checked back and there was no one there. Oh if
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I lived nearby I'd go and investigate myself but just
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: say there's a ghost hunter investigating. I really hope they
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: get recording of the ghost telling people to F off.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Japanese boulder that's imprisoned a demon for 1,000 years mysteriously
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: cracks open. The Sashio Seiki Killing Stone is an ancient
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: boulder in Japan that features prominently in Japanese mythology and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: is said to kill anyone that comes in contact with it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's a volcanic rock that supposedly houses an evil spirit
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and sits on an active volcano in central Japan not
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: far from Tokyo. Setsu have imprisoned the evil nine-tailed fox
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: demon S. Tamamo no Mi I want to see. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: want to see with my own eyes what this thing
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: looks like.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: She appears to be a beautiful
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: woman but is later exposed as being a nine-tailed fox. Okay,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: well we're all doomed. I think we knew that already anyways.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: UFO unleashes lightning attack on Russian tanks after Ukrainians prayed
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: to God. A group of Russian tanks were supposedly wiped
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: out by a mystery UFO attack after the families of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: trapped Ukrainian soldiers prayed to God to offer the troops
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: some help. The UFO swooped in to save Ukrainian troops
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: from approaching Russian tanks in a miracle lightning attack according
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to a correspondence. Okay. So there was somebody who was
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: in the military and in the dark of night they
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: were holding their positions and discovered that a lot of
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Russian Federation tanks and machines were coming at them. He
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: picked up his phone and called his father and he said, Dad,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you have to pray right now we're in a situation.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: His father rings the other members of the church and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: he start praying. Sometime later the son rang the father again.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He said, some miracle has happened. There was an attack
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: from some spaceship. There was some kind of lightning shooting
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: from the sky and sparks were spreading everywhere. Then in
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the morning they discovered the whole machinery was destroyed. Still
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: more believable than the ghost of Kiev. My creepy dough
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: painting is cursed. I can't deny that this picture just
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: gave me the creeps. Thought to be an alias. Explains
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: in a terrifying eBay listing how ignored a warning from
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a flea market storeholder that no good can come from
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: this painting. He says he's now trying to get rid
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of it claiming he fears he will go insane if
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it stays in his house. Let's have a look at
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: its cell. Here, yeah. For a 90-day-old home he felt
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: an invisible river of chills and legs the wolves find
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: an insect crawling over his face. He then finds a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: crack in the wall with maggots and adult insects crawling
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: out from behind it. In the morning he hung the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: painting on his living room wall. Moments later he found
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: his beloved hamster dead with the same insect wriggling out
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of its mouth. But why pass it on and continue
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: such a terrible legacy you ask? Damn goes on. Why
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not destroy it? Well sure, setting their painting on fire
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: could rid the world of wickedness brought about by the piece.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Who says that by burning it I'm not just going
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to make things ten times worse? No, I don't want
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to risk that. I'd rather sell it to some poor
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: soul who doesn't believe this story or even scarier, some
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: brave soul who does. Terrified woman finds haunted photo in
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: old copy of the ring in creepy DVD discovery. Do
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you want to see the photo? Because it is. It's terrifying. Okay,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I've got some news from South Africa here. South Africa
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: female student screen roll on floor over evil spirits attack.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Here we go. We've got a picture of the attack happening.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: That's very scary isn't it? Some female students in Galeshwe
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in Kimberley, Northern Cape, I'm probably saying all these things
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: completely wrong. So forgive me. 18 girls mostly in grades
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: 8 to 10 started crying, screaming and rolling on the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: floor after apparently seeing a scary creature that was making
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: them weak. The incident comes barely two weeks after another
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: school experienced a similar incident. This is the third school
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: in Kimberley to be impacted by the alleged evil spirits
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and conclusions are made that opportunistic satanic methods were being
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: used on young people and children in the area. But
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it's not the first time that something like this has happened.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Let me have a look if I'm finding another example
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of this. I've heard about quite an old one. Yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: here we go. Here's another word I can't pronounce. The
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Tanganyika laughter epidemic. An outbreak of mass hysteria or mass
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: psychogenic illness or perhaps a demon possession. The laughter epidemic
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: began on January 31, 1962 at a mission-run boarding school
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: for girls in Koshchisha. Symptoms lasted from a few hours
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to 16 days. The teaching staff were unaffected and reported
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that students were unable to concentrate on their lessons. The
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Kashsisha school was sued for allowing the children and their
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: parents to transmit it to surrounding areas. The laughter reports
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: were widely accompanied by descriptions of fainting, flat chillance, respiratory problems, rashes,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: crying and screaming. In all 14 schools were shut down
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and a thousand people were affected. Anyway, there we go.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Some possible mass hysteria, possible demon attack, who knows. Bizarre
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: alien creature found after rainfall. It has stumped biologists. The
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: original video here is on Instagram so I can take
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a look at this posted by Harry Hayes. Very nice.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: A small creature found on the streets of Sydney, Australia
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: has stumped biologists, academics and social media users alike. Harry
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Hayes was jogging on Monday morning when he stumbled upon
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the creature. My gut says it's some kind of embryo
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: but with COVID, World War III and the floods going on,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it could very well be an alien. When Lab Bible
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: reached out to the University of Sydney and the University
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of New South Wales to identify the creature, none of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the academics were able to identify either. So, can you?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Started with a ghost story, let's end with a ghost story.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Photo reveals that the family of four might have been
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: visited by a ghost class swimming. so they were at
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a spot called Murphy's Hall at Lockyer River in 2014. However,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: when they examined the photo in question, they discovered a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: fourth child in the photo in between the two adults.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Davidson was understandably terrified at the score that almost exactly
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a hundred years earlier, a 13-year-old girl named Doreen Sullivan
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: had drowned in this exact location. Experts examined a negative
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of the image and could not deny that there was
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a light in the shape of a young girl in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the photo. Some people believe it's just a splash of water,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: it's definitely not a splash of water. Something much more solid.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I also like that this kid at the front seems
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to be sticking the finger up sneaky. Alright, well that's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a nice spooky image to end on. I think it's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: been a very productive day and I've covered the most
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: important news topics after the last few weeks. Cheers everyone,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: thanks for watching.
