An eerie humanoid figure filmed in Mexico, a bizarre arrest at an Indiana Applebee’s, and a weird ‘sign war’ that has become the talk of a North Carolina community are among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
This past week featured a pair of stories centered around peculiar otherworldly beings. First, in Mexico, a viral video showed what appeared to be an eerie-looking humanoid that appeared behind and subsequently terrified two friends sitting on a beach in Cancun. Some viewers posited that the creepy figure was an alien or a demon, while skeptics argued that the footage was a clever hoax. Meanwhile, a man walking his dog near a British forest that is infamous for its paranormal activity reported a truly chilling experience wherein he encountered what he believes to have been a Black Eyed Kid that tugged on his coat, unleashed a terrifying giggle, and vanished into the woods.

Two particularly strange arrests popped up on our radar this past week, beginning with a bizarre bust at an Indiana Applebee’s. The weird incident centered around a dispute over the shareability of the restaurant’s ‘All You Can Eat’ meal deal. The strange argument grew so heated that cops were called to the scene to settle the matter, but one patron was so incensed that she actually wound up being arrested in the parking lot for disorderly conduct. Later in the week, Canadian authorities caught a talented, but misguided man who had allegedly been carving remarkably detailed faces into trees on public land. While the suspected vandal’s handiwork is commendable in its artistry, officials say that the unauthorized and illegal pieces leave the trees susceptible to serious health risks.

By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of North Carolina where a community has become gripped by a strange ‘sign war.’ The bizarre billboard battle began when two Morehead City restaurants started using the placards outside their respective businesses to exchange amusing barbs with each other. The curious ‘conversation’ quickly captured the imagination of the community, leading to other establishments getting in on the act. Now, people driving through the small town are treated to an array of amusing messages as a staggering 70 businesses have taken part in the craze that has become the talk of the town.
