Ghost hunters discovered body in old hospital
Police in Vicksburg, Mississippi, have recovered a body at the old Kuhn Memorial State Hospital. “We found a white female that appears to be in her late 60s with trauma to the head and the body has been sent to Jackson to be processed,” Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said on Sunday night.
The body was discovered at around 7pm by a group of ghost hunters. “There was some people over at the hospital ghost hunting and they stumbled upon the body, and they took off and reported it to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office,” Armstrong said.
Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey confirmed the cause of death as homicide, but declined to release the woman’s name. Vicksburg police earlier on Sunday were searching for a 69-year-old Vicksburg woman missing from her house. The house showed signs of a disturbance and police began investigating.
The body was sent to the state crime lab in Jackson for processing and identification. “We’re in the process of trying to identify her,” Armstrong said. “We can not say that the body found at the hospital is her, but this body happens to be that of a white female that matches the description of the woman missing,” Armstrong added.

How she managed to keep the TV between her legs remains a mystery, but she slowly wandered out of the store with it nowhere to be seen.

Jilted man drove pick-up over love rival's car
A jilted man in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory mounted his love rival’s vehicle with a 4WD pick-up truck in a possible attempt to cure his injured pride.
The man posted the photo of himself standing on the tray of his Toyota Land Cruiser, which was parked on the bonnet and windscreen of a sedan, on the NT Performance Cars, Parts and Services Facebook page. The dispute seems to relate to a love triangle between the four-wheel drive owner, the sedan owner and a woman.
Friends and associates of the man posted comments on the forum urging him to calm down and consider his actions, with many others expressing delight and encouragement. The man, 29, who police say is on his L-plates, later posted another update and a photo after NT Police tracked him down, saying: “F*ck it’s noisy in these paddy wagons.”
NT Police have charged the man with criminal damage, driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle, driving without L-plates and driving without a fully licensed passenger in the passenger seat. He will appear in court on July 8.

Man breaks world record for the longest drag behind a galloping horse while on fire
On a recent Saturday evening by a Styrian mountain lake, Austrian stunt performer Joe Tödtling broke two world records, the longest drag behind a galloping horse (500m), and the longest drag behind a quad bike (582m).
Both while on fire. The stunts required meticulous training and preparations. Tödtling armored himself with iron plates on his elbows and knees, then was swaddled in layers of protective clothing and fireproof gel.
He then held on to a rope which was then dragged along by a horse at full gallop, for a distance of 500m, having been doused in accelerant and set alight by his stunt coordination team.

After travelling nearly half way around the scenic Teichalm mountain lake, Joe then reversed direction, holding on to a tow rope being dragged by a quad bike. Joe has said that these are to be his last attempts at world record stunts, after a long conversation with his wife.

Man who ate 'magic sauce' pasty filled with his own poo evicted from shared house
A woman has described her ‘horror’ at discovering one of her housemates filled a pasty with his own faeces, cooked it in their oven and ate it.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was living in a shared house in Weston, Somerset, with four other people through a scheme with social enterprise Chapter 1.
The charity provides affordable housing for people.
The man has now been evicted from the property after complaints were made and the social enterprise has said it is ‘very sorry’ for the ‘unfortunate’ experience.
When the man initially moved into the property there were few issues, but over time he began acting inappropriately and the woman felt ‘too scared’ to stay in the house, leaving her no option but to sleep on sofas at friends’ houses while she waited for the man to be evicted. She said: “He moved in and it was all fine for a month. He was smoking weed in the house but that was the only problem we had. He was leaving one day and there was an awful smell in the kitchen so I went in and checked it out.
“I checked in the bin and I opened the oven because he had put some food in there and you could see a pasty filled with poo. I was horrified. I just puked up. I was heaving.” She asked him what he was cooking and he referred to it as his ‘magic sauce’. She said: “It was definitely poo. He took it out and he ate it. How could we be expected to cook in that kitchen after that?” The manager of Chapter 1’s leasing scheme in North Somerset Miles Wood said: “We received reports that he was acting inappropriately and he was breaching his tenancy with us and making other housemates feel uncomfortable.
“We have a zero tolerance policy on drugs, we had reports and we took action. To relieve any concerns from anybody, we had the oven cleaned shortly after that. The oven was cleaned by a professional cleaning company to ensure hygiene.” Mr Wood noted it is a rare case for an eviction to take place. The company has 51 tenancies available across Weston and Congresbury and has had to evict two tenants since January 2014. He said: “If someone breaches the tenancy, and that is any breach for any reason, it can result in that tenancy being ended.”

Two bedroom bungalow with attached zoo for sale
A two-bedroomed bungalow with attached zoo in Mid Wales has been put on the market.
The Animalarium at Borth in Ceredigion, is home to over 300 animals and reptiles spread over 10 acres.
Owners Jean and Alan Mumbray have decided to call it a day after developing the business since they bought it 15 years ago.
“We originally took it on with the aim of retiring after 10 years, but we’re still here and I’m now 76 and it’s time for someone else to take the business forward,” said Jean. “It needs someone who has a passion for animals and the resources to develop what is already a successful visitor attraction and has huge potential.” The zoo has taken on animals that have been surplus at other UK zoos and are cared for in modern accommodation and enclosures.
It maintains strong links with colleges, universities and other zoos in the UK for exchange programmes and the captive breeding of endangered species. The zoo features a reptile house with large constrictor snakes and lizards, a crocodile house with caiman and turtles, a petting barn, stables and animal enclosures including African Lion, African Leopard, Ocelot, Eurasian Lynx, African Antelope (Lechwe) Bennetts and Parma Wallaby, Raccoons, Coati, Emu and Rhea.
Also Patas, Capuchin, Vervet and Squirrel monkey houses, birds of prey, giant tortoises, meerkats, Ring-tailed and Ruffed Lemurs. There are many bird aviaries, including endangered species. The zoo has an opportunity for expansion. There is also a cafeteria, visitor centre and gift shop, children’s play areas and large car park. The zoo, priced at £555,000, will be sold complete with all equipment and fixtures and fittings and has a full zoo licence which was reissued in 2014.
