This spooky image of an unknown boy gave Angie D’Arcy the shivers when she had her photos developed. She took the picture in 2003 in Evercreech, Somerset, but only just got round to having the disposable camera film printed.

Angie, 40, of Shepton Mallet, cannot remember anyone being in the shot when she took the snap and said the figure, dressed in old-style country clothing, remained a mystery.

For example, homeless people live in extremely dangerous environments. Shouldn’t there be automated equipment used by this strata of society?

From this question came out this creepy kinetic robotic project. The robot is using remote control, car batteries, aluminum parts, and cables - intentionally set on fire!

This is a weird footage of a two-headed snake recently discovered in Cuba. When I watched this video it came on my mind the post about the recently fossil discovery of a 2 leg snake. Is it possible, the scientist’s discovery to be just a nature error, like this 2 headed snake?
