woodland in Sandhurst and sends children running
A man has described the "surreal" moment he
saw a clown emerge from a woodland in Sandhurst after children had run
screaming away from it. Jonathan Wood, who lives in Sandhurst, was cycling
through Thibet Woods on Sunday afternoon (October 20) when a group of
"terrified" children ran up to him. […] "I announced that I was
calling the police," he said. "Then he proceeded to take his mask
off, and one of the kids recognised him and was like: 'You scared the hell out

Inside West Virginia University's
haunted clock tower, where students say they hear the tortured moos of a cow
slaughtered in a prank gone wrong
[…] Legend has it that some of the school’s first
students took a cow from a farm owned by the university and lead [sic] it up to
the top of the tower for the whole student body to see. The students, not
knowing that cows can't walk down stairs, didn't plan how to get it down.
According to the legend, they were then forced to kill the cow, chops [sic] up
its body, and walk down the pieces from the tower one by one. The clock tower
is boarded up and off-limits [to] the public. But rumor has it that students
walking by can still hear the cow's haunted mooing. Insider reached out to a
West Virginia University student to find out just what's going on in the
school's haunted tower. Armed with a camera and a fair dose of courage, […]
Casey Johnson gained access to the tower and scavenged for clues. […]

those who look, or are Malay being charged a cheaper price for the same item
than your Chinese Singaporean. Little has been said about this curious
phenomenon, yet it seems like everyone agrees it’s “a thing”. We’ve all heard
about a friend of a friend who was charged “more” for his meal as compared to
his Malay pal. Maybe it’s even happened to you. But this is where it gets
tricky: much of the evidence behind Malay pricing is anecdotal. […]
