Sam Felstead, 42, was asleep when she was awakened by her 7-year-old cat, Billy, at 4:30 a.m. Aug. 8 — and she immediately realized something was wrong. “Suddenly I woke up in the early hours covered in sweat and couldn’t move,” Felstead told South West News Service, adding that she felt a shooting pain down her right side. “Billy was on my chest and was meowing loudly in my ear hole.” The hero kitty — who is normally pretty placid and solitary — refused to leave his owner alone and was “really meowing,” so Felstead...

Back then, the perpetual bachelor had just met his future wife, Amal, and didn’t have any kids. At the time, he didn’t expect to start a family anytime soon. But, “what I do have are these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another,” Clooney recently explained to GQ. “I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the...

Villagers lining the banks of the Fengle River in eastern China looked on in awe this week as a sleek black hull slid beneath the surface with a low mechanical rumble. This wasn’t a military test. It was the homemade invention of Zhang Shengwu, a 60-year-old farmer from Hanshan County in Anhui province, about 250 miles west of Shanghai, who has spent nearly a decade turning a dream into a five-ton, two-seater submarine he calls Big Black Fish.

A woman has urged couples never to go to bed angry after she banished her husband to the sofa after a row – and found him dead the next day. Mum-of-three Ashley Murray, 33, said she had a heated row with Mikey, 36, because of his long shifts at work. When the argument wasn’t resolved before bed, she told him to sleep on the sofa.

On Dwarka Sector 9 (द्वारका सेक्टर 9) you will find a temple close to the metro station that is found on the Blue Line of the Delhi Metro. Many will claim that it is the metro station itself that is haunted, but this is not completely true, as it is the surrounding area that are believed to be the haunted place. Outside the temple, Dada Bai Wala Mandir is a peepal tree that is said to be haunted by a ghost. One video, which has been amassing...

In a comprehensive ecological intervention, China has claimed to dismantle 300 dams and decommission more than 90 percent of small hydropower stations along the Chishui River, also known as the Red River, a key tributary of the upper Yangtze.
