Fox-Human Hybrid at Pakastani Zoo Proves People Really Will Believe Anything

A zoo in Karachi has an odd attraction, the reportedly fox-human hybrid known as “Mumtaz”. With the body of a fox and a human head, Mumtaz will actually talk to his visitors. Of course, it’s not real, but that doesn’t stop a steady stream of visitors from coming.

Murad Ali is the man who has been sticking his head through a table for 12 hours a day for 16 years and he inherited the role from his own father. “The people, who visit here, go away happy,” he said. “And knowing that they feel happy makes me happy too. There is a bond of love between me and them. Life is very short; it should be spent spreading smiles.”

I admit to being sorely tempted to make this article about human gullibility, but it’s hard to argue with Ali’s sweet sentiments. No reports were forthcoming from Rupert Murdoch on what it’s like to be the only other guy who is the head of Fox.

Woman Gives Birth to Bouncing Baby Gecko

lizard-baby

We movie goers already know life is kinda weird (and possibly short) in Indonesia right now, as evidenced by recent cinema like the OUCH-inducing “Raid” movies (go….see…them). But when it comes to this story…I got nuthin’.

Here’s the long and the short of it: Debi Nubatonis went to see a midwife, to all signs eight months pregnant and going into early labor. Prepped and ready, with all the expected ick coming out, there didn’t appear to actually be any baby up in there. But there was a lizard.

So, the assumption is that this woman was experiencing pseudocyesis, or phantom pregnancy, and an extremely rare case of it at that, advancing all the way to the birth stages. And one would assume that this gecko just managed to dart up on the table in the middle of all the confusion. But the midwife didn’t think so and apparently authorities there aren’t too sure themselves, as they have launched an official investigation. I’m not entirely sure how you run that sort of investigation. What, do you interview men she was intimate with to make sure none of them were actually Willie from the original “V” miniseries or one of David Icke’s Alpha Draconians?

As the Chief Medical Officer of nearby Kupang City, Indonesia said, “Childbirth of another species has never been reported in science”. This hasn’t stopped neighbors of poor Debi from claiming that she and her family are ‘witches’. Is that generally an end goal for magic users? I mean, even supposing you’re up to no good, what possible use would having a gecko child instead of a regular one be? Oh, sure, it’s a lizard, BUT IT’S AN EVIL LIZARD, BWA HA HA! I’m thinking the Willie theory has more weight to it. Or, you know, human error and a typically fast gecko. Whichever.

Boy walks into abandoned house, finds hanging body

I, like most other kids in my neighborhood, liked to test limits. The more we were not supposed to do things, the more tantalizing those things became. Nothing held our attention so much as a huge creepy and seemingly abandoned house down the road from us. We circled back and forth on our BMXs, frightened and fascinated…who among us would have the cajones to defy the parental ban, and our own ghoulish imaginations, to venture within past the overgrown lawn, broken front door, and “No Trespassing” warning signs? After these occasional sojourns escalated to questioning each others possession of gender-specific anatomy, we all ventured within to find….well, nothing. Broken floorboards, water stained drywall, and lots and lots of spiders.

Not so lucky (unlucky?) was a 12 year old boy from Dayton, Ohio who ventured within his neighborhood’s creepyhouse, only to find the stuff out of a kid’s nightmares.

mummified-body

The adventuresome tyke poked around the empty decaying residence only to find hanging in a closet the mummified corpse of the house’s former resident, Edward Brunton. I can’t help but imagine that it’s going to have a bit of an impact on the poor kid for some time to come.

Apparently, Brunton had been hanging in the closet for 5 years. He bought the house in 2009 and died, presumably taking his own life, shortly after. Neighbors said they didn’t even realize anyone was living there and never remember even seeing Ed. As to the corpse’s mummified condition, the town’s coroner said that the closet protected him from decomposition, animals, insects, and sunlight.

I realize it’s because of my own fascination with the macabre that this seems more like fun to me (I know, I have a problem) but I suspect this kid will grow up to be a horror fan. Or a serial killer. Either way, a horror movie’s gonna get made.

Forget about “Christine”, this car has murdered at least 14 people…and counting

With the car being part of America’s obsession with identity, the way it pretty much has been since Henry Ford wheeled out the first affordable model (probably while saying something racially disparaging), it’s no big surprise that Hollywood has often seized on it as a suitably innocuous part of our everyday lives to make terrifying instead. From Stephen King’s “Christine” to “Maximum Overdrive”, from “The Car” to “The Hearse”, there’s a little fear hidden inside all of us that our commute to work might be on the highway to hell. But we still can feel safe knowing that these demon vehicles are nothing but the product of screenwriter’s imaginations….

demon car

Or maybe not…

Meet the “Golden Eagle”, a 1964 Dodge 330 Limited Edition. GE started its public life as a police cruiser, but all three officers who drove it died in murder-suicides, first killing their families, then themselves. Two children were hit and killed by other cars, but landed either under the bumper or on the hood of GE. Just in 2008, a kid was dared to just TOUCH the car, and a couple of weeks later he killed his entire family (dog included).

It doesn’t stop there. In the 80’s and 90’s some folks decided to vandalize the cursed car and each of the lead vandalizers died from car crashes where they were decapitated. The current owner claims that all 32 members of the two church groups that committed the acts have died mysteriously, 4 being STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Which brings us to that aforementioned current owner. Wendy Allen bought it a few years ago, and even had to track down some pieces of it that had been chopped and sent to different junkyards by another terrified church group, but she’s had it in one piece for a few years now. The only problem she’s had so far is that it likes to randomly fling its doors open on the highway (!) but no injuries have occurred so far. Wendy says, “it’s just a car that’s been passed down in my family for years, and people are reading too much into the things that have happened to people around the car, because: look at me, my family, my friends, we are fine, aren’t we? If the car was hell bent on killing everyone, well, why isn’t everyone dead?“.

Good luck, Wendy. Remind me not to carpool with you.

The Bizarre Anatomical Machines of a Prince

I can’t say I was familiar with Raimondo di Sangro, who was a noble and Prince of the city of San Severo in Italy back in the 18th century. Considering how cool (crazy?) this guy was, I’m now officially amazed he’s not as well known as folks like Nikola Tesla. As an inventor he created a waterproof cape, a hydraulic device that could pump water to any height, an ‘eternal flame’ made from chemical compounds he created, a carriage with wooden ‘horses’ with an internal mechanical structure that could travel on land and water, colored fireworks, a printing press that could print different colors in one impression, and quite a few more things. He was also a writer, a mason and was excommunicated by the church for some of those masonic activities. But none of that is half as interesting as what ELSE he was into…

Raimondo was also an alchemist and rumors swirled of a variety of feats he had achieved in the discipline, as well as darker rumors as to how he achieved some of them. One of the things we DO know he did, although we still don’t know how he did it, was to create elaborate anatomical models. Two of them, now on display in the Museo Capella Sansevero in Naples, are of a man and a woman which detail all the blood vessels in the body in a spectacular and gruesome fashion. Apparently they were created using a process called “anatomical injection’, but we don’t know with what and to who. Rumors (once again, those pesky things) say that they are of his servant and a pregnant woman, but since Raimondo destroyed all his scientific writings before he died, we’ll never know. But there’s no denying these things are incredibly creepy and cool.

DEVIL BABY SCARES THE $@!# OUT OF NEW YORKERS

Here’s the brilliant new viral promotional video for the upcoming film, Devil’s Due.  It’s the latest in the wave of “prankvertising,” where unsuspecting people are filmed as the victims of a prank in order to promote a brand, product, or in this case, a horror movie about the birth of the Antichrist.

Still, it’s pretty funny stuff. Enjoy! (and watch out for those abandoned strollers…)

VIDEO: “Toupee” bursts into thousands of spiders

MOTW-2014-01-01-Spiders

How would you feel if, thinking you’re poking at a discarded toupee, it suddenly bursts into a creeping, crawling mass of thousands of spiders?

That’s exactly what happened to one man as he got the surprise of his life doing just that. Here’s a clip of the video that is quickly going viral:

Can you say “Arachnophobia”?

HILARIOUS: FLYING GRIM REAPER TERRORIZES JOGGERS

Halloween Prank

Let’s take a break from my super-important, nail-biting Facebook countdown to gather our composure, sit back, and have a little laugh (at other people’s expense). If you haven’t seen this video yet (it’s gotten over a million hits), stop what you’re doing and take a minute to watch.

 

 

Prankster Tom Mabe sent joggers running for their lives with his latest Halloween-themed contraption.

You’d be forgiven for being more than a little concerned at the sight of the grim reaper wailing and flying towards you, but that’s exactly what happened to several passers-by at an otherwise ideallic park in Louisville, Kentucky.

Taking advantage of the Halloween season as a chance to engage in some paranormal-themed japery, serial prankster Tom Mabe dressed up a remote control helicopter like the grim reaper and filmed people’s reactions as he chased them around with it.

“We have had a lot of fun making this,” he said. “It’s taken some work to make it happen, but it’s great fun. It flies with the help of a remote control helicopter but you rig it up in a really brilliant way. It has to be quiet so people don’t hear it.”

A video of the prank shows joggers and other park visitors fleeing in horror as the contraption flies after them while emitting a wailing noise. “The best bit is when you sneak up on people. We fly it about 200ft in the air and then drop it down so it’s right behind them,” Mabe added.

CREEPY CLOWN STALKING TOWN HAS RESIDENTS SCARED SILLY

This is a photo of the creepy clown spooking residents of Northampton.
This is a photo of the creepy clown spooking residents of Northampton.

 

“He doesn’t juggle. He doesn’t twist balloons into animal shapes. He just stares.”

Those were the details reported by the Northampton Herald and Post today, and may be part of the reason locals are feeling a bit unnerved by a mysterious stranger dressed in full clown makeup who began standing outside their homes in a town north of London.

Appropriately enough, the clown first appeared on Friday the 13th.

Here’s the story as reported by the Herald Sun:

 

IS this some kind of joke?

A clown – with red wig and full make-up and sometimes holding balloons – is freaking out residents of one English town, the local paper reports.

He is red-haired and white faced and has surfaced several locations across Northampton, a town of 215,000, 100km north of London, over the past few days since his first appearance on Friday the 13th.

The Northampton Clown – which has exploded on social media in the UK – has even sparked a police warning.

 

Now personally I don’t suffer from coulrophobia (fear of clowns), but if I saw this guy standing outside my window, I still think I’d freak out!

 

A woman alleged that the clown had knocked on her door in full clown attire before then offering to paint her window sills.

Many have been left feeling frightened by the clown.

Others see it as a joke. But a few are upset and vigilantes have threatened to “get” the clown, sparking an editorial asking why would people be upset by a circus figure?

 

Apparently, that editor never read Stephen King’s “IT.”

‘ALIEN HEAD’ UNEARTHED IN CROATIAN GRAVEYARD

Medjimurje Mayor Ivan Stefic holding the “alien head.”

 

I have no idea what this thing is that the mayor is holding, but I wouldn’t mind having it on display in the Museum of the Weird!  Mayor Stefic, if you’re reading this… call me!

 

A baffled mayor has asked scientists to examine the remains of what be believes to be the head of an alien dug up by workers in a graveyard in Croatia.

The twisted, soft-bodied remains – which seems to have a beak-like mouth in the centre – were unearthed in Medjimurje where gardeners were extending the local cemetery.

A second section – believed to contain what looks like a heart – was also recovered.

“It scared the life out of me to see that thing staring up out of the ground,” said one worker.

“The really strange thing, though, was the smell. Most things that come out of the ground don’t smell too good.

“But this smelled very sweet, like aftershave or perfume,” they added.

Mayor Ivan Stefic, seen here holding the head, explained: “It was found about one metre under the surface and gave the workers quite a shock.”

“We have got it safe here at the Town Hall until the scientists take it from us.

“I know it sounds crazy, but we can’t think of any more rational explanation for what we’ve found,” he added.
