The demise of the Georgia Guidestones, ghostly happenings in a pair of schools, and a goat in Pakistan that boasts 21-inch-long ears were among the strange and unusual stories to cross our desk this week.
This past week saw a pair of stories centered around eerie paranormal activity involving schools, beginning with a dormitory in India wherein five separate students reported encountering a ghostly figure roaming the halls. The sightings, which caused the pupils to become sick with panic, ultimately led to a mass exodus at the building as all of its residents and staff decided that they would rather move than deal with the spooky interloper. Then, in Zimbabwe, a weird whodunit unfolded when a prophetess enlisted to stop a series of suspected goblin attacks at a school wound up revealing that the true culprit was the ghost of a former teacher who had been unable to cross over to the ‘other side.’
Easily the most astounding story of the week occurred in the early morning hours on Wednesday when an explosion rocked the infamous Georgia Guidestones and shattered one of the controversial monument’s pillars. Thought by some to be a proverbial call to action by the New World Order, the 42-year-old piece had been targeted by vandals in the past, but this particular attack proved to be its undoing as the mysterious blast left the monument structurally unstable and authorities ultimately opted to demolish the entire thing. As one might imagine, police are pursuing the perpetrators and, if convicted, the individuals behind the bombing could face a staggering 20 years in prison for the shocking act of destruction.
An adorable baby goat in Pakistan garnered worldwide headlines this past week by way of its enormous ears, which measure a whopping 21 inches in length. Since being born last month, the jaw-dropping creature, dubbed Simba, has become something of a sensation in its home country and his proud owner has even tried to get Guinness World Records to declare him the ‘longest-eared goat.’ However, Simba’s unique condition has proven to be both a blessing and a curse as the animal requires a special harness to keep its prodigious appendages from tripping him when he moves. and his owner also fears that the animal might be targeted by rival goat breeders who are jealous of the creature’s growing fame.
