A headless monk, a sudden chill, objects moving of own accord.
A new ride at an amusement park? No, the strange, seemingly paranormal, behaviour was experienced by workmen building a water ride at Thorpe Park, one of the country's biggest theme parks.
There were reports of workers feeling like someone was watching over their shoulder and sudden cold feelings being experienced.
As a result of the ghostly sightings, and fears that an ancient burial ground has been disturbed, the project was moved to another site.
A paranormal detection agency was then called in to the park in Chertsey, Surrey, to carry out tests and found that a burial ground or settlement could have been disturbed.
Managers at the park decided to relocate the ride to another area of the park and also called in a forensic team to carry out further investigations.
The 64ft-tall water ride, Storm Surge, was originally planned for an area known as Monk's Walk, an old footpath that has linked the ruins of nearby Chertsey Abbey to Thorpe Church since AD666.
The ride's foundations would have been over an area of the park where stone coffins have previously been excavated.
'The results were so strong, we felt the only explanation could be that an ancient burial ground or settlement was being disturbed, prompting the extra paranormal activity'
Mike Vallis, divisional director of Thorpe Park, said: 'It became apparent that something strange was going on when teams started clearing Storm Surge's initial site.
'Staff reports of eerie goings-on shot up and the only physical change in the park, at that time, was the beginning of ground preparation work for the new ride.
'As employees were getting freaked out, we decided to call on an expert to see whether there was anything to report but had no idea of the dramatic effects.'
Jim Arnold, of South West London Paranormal, said: 'We carry out these kinds of investigations quite regularly, with medium to weak results being reported on a weekly basis.
'Thorpe Park, however, was more striking as results were picked up immediately, with orbs, ghostly images in photography and ouija reaction results being strongest around the site where they were proposing to build Storm Surge.
Forensic geophysicist Peter Masters, of Cranfield University, has since been called in to analyse the site, using deep ground radar.
He said: 'From the preliminary investigations, we have picked up signatures similar to that of a burial ground - possibly ancient.
'Although this could simply be an old building, with Thorpe Park's history, the investigation is definitely worth continuing.'

Nobody said saving the world is always a pretty job.
A borough council in England is proposing a plan to save money and energy by heating a public pool with warmth generated at a crematorium next door. Proponents on the Redditch council say the crematorium heat would be wasted otherwise, and diverting it to the pool could save the city £14,000 a year in energy costs.
Council leader Carole Gandy defended the plans, saying it would save money and energy. "I'd much rather use the energy rather than just see it going out of the chimney and heating the sky. It will make absolutely no difference to the people who are using the crematorium for services. It's only a proposal at the moment but personally I'm supportive of it because I think it will save the authority money and, in the long-term, save energy which is what we're all being told we should do."
Some Redditch residents are calling the plan "strange and eerie," and the council will hold briefings with faith groups later this week to gauge the religious community's reaction. But as for now, it seems like a pretty ingenious idea to us. What better way to cap off a life well-lived than by literally keeping your neighbors warm?

OUTRAGED parents of a group of high school students say they believe school administrators crossed the line after they disciplined their children, who are members of the “Christmas Sweater Club,” for passing out candy canes and spreading holiday cheer on school property!
Mother Kathleen Flannery said an administrator called her and explained “not everyone wants Christmas cheer. That suicide rates are up over Christmas, and that they should keep their cheer to themselves, perhaps.”
All 10 members of the Christmas Sweater Club–a group of teens at Battlefield High School who wear festive sweaters and sing Christmas carols–were punished with detention and two hours of cleaning for an unauthorized candy giveaway that faculty say created a disturbance, littered property and could’ve caused harm.
They handed out 2-inch wrapped mini candy canes that are so delicate, they can break by touching them. But staff insist that the peppermints are potentially dangerous weapons.
“They said the candy canes are weapons because you can sharpen them with your mouth and stab people with them,” said Sylar Torbett, a junior.
When the sweater club members tossed some of the candies to fellow students, faculty feared it could cause harm.
“They said, ‘maliciously maim students with the intent to injure.’ And I don’t think any of us here intentionally meant to injure anyone, or did,” added Zakk Rhine, a junior.
The school principal didn’t want to go on record with the details about the incident, but supported the disciplinary action and insists there is “a lot more to it.”

OUTRAGED audience members on Maury Provich’s talk show roared with “boos” as they heard an out-of-control teen girl proudly admit to sending nude photos of herself on the Internet and says she longs to be just like her idol–MTV’s Snooki!
Promiscuous Cel’Andrea, who is only 13 years old, took to Maury’s couch in a provocative blouse, tight denim trousers, high heels, cake-faced makeup and hair styled with a “bump”, all of which appeared to be an obvious nod to her favorite celebrity, Jersey Shore breakout star Snooki–who’s a reality series queen known for booze-fueled partying and tasteless glamour.
She admits she wants to be like her.
“I’ve lived long enough in this world…now that Snooki is the idol of 13-year-olds,” distressed host Maury Provich quipped.
Unable to exercise disciple on her child, Cel’Andrea’s mother confronted her daughter on Maury’s “Wild Teen Girls” show, where the Snooki fan confesses that she had sex with four guys and says she doesn’t care if she gets pregnant. “Whatever happens, happens,” she boasted.
It’s also revealed that her outrageous behavior has upset her neighbors so much that her home was “egged and pickled,” but she shifts the blame to her mother, citing, “It’s not my fault, she’s a bitch. I don’t control it.”

Jenny McCarthy is giving some good TMI deets in her new autobiography Love, Lust & Faking it: The Naked Truth About Sex, Lies and True Romance. The 37-year-old former Playmate and former MTV queen says that although she’s honest, she did hold back on the intimate details of her recent split from beau of five years, Jim Carrey. “If he wasn’t famous, he’d be splattered all over this book,” she told Oprah in a recent chat. “I’m always honest about everything. I just have to respect his privacy.”And the greatest revelation in the book is on how a Playboy photographer compared her taco to roadkill! Hmm…but what kind of roadkill? I envision a pancake-flat hairy skunk that has its guts split open.
She says after getting rejected by a modeling agency, she thought she would walk into the Chicago Playboy building across the street and just try her luck taking off her clothes instead. But a persnickety receptionist schooled her that a bish just can’t walk into The NY Times of tittay mags and expect to get hired.
As she marched out, an exec ran into a then 18-year-old Jenny and offered her a test shoot on the spot.
She explains:
“I put on a bikini… I didn’t know how to pose; it was like a mugshot.”
“I went home and within one hour, and this is not an exaggeration, Playboy called and said, ‘You’re Miss October!’”
But McCarthy admitted there was a huge shock in store for her the first time she disrobed for the magazine’s photographer.
She added, “He says, ‘Lose your undies…’ and all of a sudden I hear, ‘Woah!’
“I see them talk to the make-up artist and the make-up artist comes walking over and she goes, ‘They said they’d never saw anyone as hairy as you their entire life.’
“I said, ‘Well, I’m half Polish!’”
Jenny was paid $20,000 for the Miss October 1993 shoot, then went on to appear in Playboy again the following year.
And you know the rest.

Two women were arrested for igniting a brawl at a kindergarten graduation ceremony after a Facebook feud turned physical.

A farmer in Zimbabwe says his cow has given birth to a pig!
Tinos Mberi was horrified to see how his cow delivered an animal completely unlike itself. “The whole body and size was that of a piglet,” he told the Zimbabwe Situation. “The nose and mouth was like that of a pig, except that it did not have a hairy body.”
He says the same cow had previously delivered healthy calves, and believes black magic is at play. “I think it is the work of some black magicians,” he said. “How can anyone explain such a horrible occurrence. It is the work of black magicians who are trying to scare me off the land.”
But a local veterinarian says that no supernatural powers are at work. The “piglet” is just a deformed cow, he says.

A South African scientist says the image of Jesus appeared in the coffee stains on two different mugs, a year apart to the day!
He says the first holy image formed after he watched a religious documentary, reports IOL. Conflicted about faith, he says he asked God “Give me a sign, show me something, I know I am arrogant,” and then went to bed. When he woke up he was stunned to find the image of Jesus on the cross in a stain. “This was not made by a human hand,” he says.
A year later to the day, the former atheist says Jesus appeared to him AGAIN on a different mug. “I saw the face of Jesus with the crown, and it was not a dead Jesus but one who was alive with his eyes open.”
And now, the man is sharing his experience to find an answer. “I know I have a soul which I cherish and I know I must be careful of what I say. I plead with anyone to examine the mugs and explain how the pictures were formed,” he says.
He added: “I am not a Christian, and I’ve never read the Bible. But I have started moving closer to God every day.”
The man wishes to remain unnamed.

A woman in Scotland plummeted 10ft. through the roof of a building when a panel collapsed as she had SEX with her CHEATING lover.
Roads were closed off for more than an hour, and it took “two fire engines, three ambulances and several police cars” to rescue the woman who suffered only minor bruises and cuts in an embarrassing fall in a Aberdeen, Scotland city center building on Friday morning, The Telegraph reports.
But for Alex, 19, the thrilling sex was worth it and she would do it again.
“We decided to have sex on the roof because we were bored. It was just a bit of adventure-seeking fun, but it all turned scary,” she told The Sun. “We had a camera, we thought ‘why not take some photos?’. He was holding the camera, I was climbing the roof and fell one storey.”
She added: “I don’t regret a minute of it. I might even do it all again.”
Witnesses saw the pair “rolling about naked” on top of the four-story building, and were stunned when the woman fell into an abandoned shop below. A workman in the area told the Telegraph he had no idea how they were able to access that part of the building and that “it’s full of asbestos.”
Alex says she met her lover over the Internet and they meet up for sex “whenever they get the chance,” but finding a place to get intimate has proven to be difficult because she lives with her parents and he lives with his fiancée. She hopes the media attention doesn’t hurt his relationship: “I’m worried he’s going to get into a lot of trouble over this,” she said.
The randy pair have been charged with breach of the peace.

Dallas police arrested a woman who tried to hold-up a convenience store by intimidating a store clerk with her dancing.
Video surveillance allegedly shows Theresa Hutchinson–and her male partner who remains at large– barreling in a 7-Eleven store, reports Fox News 4. The man jumps over the counter and begins stuffing a bag with cigarettes while Hutchinson allegedly begins dancing on the tabletop to distract the clerk. Her oddball behavior was thought to be influenced by drugs, according to the source.
Police say the clerk was frightened at first, but when he realized they didn’t have any weapons, he grabbed a stick to defend himself. That’s when the woman jumped off the counter and tried to back him away from her partner by dancing again. But both men begin arguing and a struggle ensued. Hutchinson then grabs a checkout scanner and tries to strike the clerk, but he over powered her partner and wrangled away the bag filled with cigarettes. The suspects fled.
After Fox News 4 aired the odd footage, viewers were able to identify the dancing woman and tipped authorities.
Hutchinson is now behind bars on robbery charges and police say her partner, along with a third person, are responsible for another robbery in the area.

A rural Indiana man was arrested after he tried to cash a forged check for $1 million at a bank drive-through window.
According to reports, 21-year-old Justin C. Johnson admitted to forging a blank check he received from a man who owed him money for some work he did. He allegedly wrote the jaw dropping number for a million even though he knew that it wasn’t the amount he was supposed to be paid.
When he presented the check to the teller through the drive-through window, she refused to cash it and alerted the authorities. The defendant drove off, but the teller kept the check and wrote down his license plate number. She also made a copy of his driver’s license.
Johnson was arrested at his residence and admitted to signing a check that was not valid. He was charged with one count of forgery, a class C felony.
You have to give this ‘rual’ kid some credit–he was soooo close to getting his own mansion with a water slide, dancing with Karen Duffy in a fountain and thwarting three bumbling crooks (one who happens to be Tone Loc). Wait a minute, do you think he saw Disney’s Blank Check?

An Alabama woman was terrified the moment a stranger broke into her home, got in her bed and tried to have sex. But it’s her brother’s strong words and animated delivery in a local interview that has made the attack an Internet hit.
The victim, Kelly Dodson, says a man climbed through her window and got in bed with her when she was asleep in her Huntsville apartment early Wednesday morning. “I was attacked by some idiot out here in the projects,” she told WAFF. “He tried to rape me. He tried to pull my clothes off.” The brazen attack happened with a small child lying next to her.
Her brother Antoine heard her scream and fought off the attacker, but he fled. “Obviously we have a rapist in Lincoln Park,” he said. “He’s climbing in your windows, he’s snatching your people up, so y’all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your husband, ‘cause they’re raping everyone out here.”
Police are investigating the attack and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Although the suspect is still at large, Antoine had a stern warning for him: “You don’t have to confess you did it. We are looking for you. We gonna find you. I’m letting you know now so you can run and tell that homeboy.”

Police say a New Hampshire teen was so furious with her mother she tainted her Kool-Aid with Lysol after an argument!
According to reports, 17-year-old Brittany Merrill was arrested on Monday on a misdemeanor count of reckless conduct after she poisoned her mother’s Kool-Aid with a household disinfectant as a revenge act stemming from a dispute they had two days ago.
