  • Accidentally ski into a mother bear’s lair… that’s a mauling

    A 12-year-old Swedish boy was lucky to survive an encounter with a protective mother bear on his last ski trip in Funäsdalen, northern Sweden – when a wrong turn sent him into a bear’s lair, that was occupied by a mother and three cubs. The subsequent mauling only ended...
  • British Family Being Terrorized by Poltergiest

    Watching horror movies is a favorite pastime for many, but for Lisa Manning and her two children, living in a haunted house isn’t any fun. The British family says their home in Coventry is being terrorized by a poltergeist and have video footage to prove it. Chairs slide across...
  • Russian soldiers shoot snow, snow fires back [video]

    This YouTube video shows a group of Russian soldiers in North Ossetia creating a controlled avalanche… using artillery. Watching them nonchalantly stroll towards their vehicles as tons of snow barrel towards them tells me that they: A) hate life; B) have done it too many times to get any...
  • Cliff fall, a first person perspective [video]

    Thirty-six-year-old Adam Potter went “down” to the 3589-foot summit of Sgurr Choinnich Mor. Somewhere near the top things went catastrophically wrong; Potter lost his footing and fell… and fell… and fell… In his own words: I tried to slow myself down on the ice and snow. I was jabbing my...
  • Man cheats Darwin in stupid train stunt [video]

    By rights the jackass in this video should have misjudged the height of the train and been rendered into a kilometer-long smear (or at the very least raised his head a couple of seconds too early). He wasn’t and didn’t, which is why this is a video and not...
