I can only imagine what it’s like to visit a watering hole where ghosts or other freaky apparitions make an appearance. In the good ‘ol US of A our bars don’t have that problem (although we do have a few of the world’s most haunted places).

But in England, there are some pubs with a record for unnaturally haunting experiences.

Would you drink at a place called the Bucket of Blood? It’s like they went out of their way to make this place haunted. The name comes from a legend saying how the landlord visited the water well, but instead of bringing up water he got a bucket of blood. Strange noises and ghostly figures have been seen around the joint.

How about The Devil’s Stone Inn: this place is named after a strange, huge rock that wound up in the village of North Devon. Nobody knows how the stone got there, but this 400-year-old pub is haunted by association apparently. Lights turn themselves on and off, plus the typical “paranormal sounds” have been reported.

Are these genuine hauntings or clever marketing ploys? Of course, get a guy drunk enough and you can convince him you’re Ann Coulter under the right circumstances. Check out the rest here if you’re interested in more haunted pubs.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
