The worst part about working is always the commute. Sitting in traffic is horrible, and taking public transit is always enough to give you a headache. But to get to their job, these workers only have to travel 1,500 feet…off the ground. Someone has to fix all of those huge TV towers, right? Watch as one brave worker climbs to the top of one of these structures, dragging his 30-pound bag of tools along with him all the way. Full disclosure: I work from home and I’m still feeling pretty ho-hum about the commute from my bed to my desk. As a lazy person who also has a pretty significant fear of heights, this video is a nightmare on so many levels. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/tower-climbing/
I don’t know about you, but when I find myself stuck in a room with a doll, I constantly look over my shoulder to see if it’s moving. Well, The Lineup and Destination America have teamed up to either quell our fears or justify them by posting a live feed of a doll that’s supposedly haunted. The story behind the doll, which goes by the name of Ann, is that it is inhabited by the spirit of a 13-year-old girl with the same name. The real Ann died from tuberculosis at Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky, which is known to be one of the most haunted hospitals in America. A former nurse at the facility, Lois, claimed that she was followed home by the spirits of children after they passed. She kept a collection of dolls to anchor their souls. The story only seems to be loosely factual, but who knows? Maybe Ann will speak up and give credence to the myth. Watch the stream to find out! People who have seen Ann in person say that you can hear her cry. There have also been reports of her raising her hand. Tell me if you see Ann move so we can throw the doll onto a fire together and rid the planet of this cursed thing forever. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/ann-live-feed/
While giving a speech to the press in Thrissur back in 2007, Indian writer and academic M. N. Vijayan — also known as Vijayan Mash — suddenly stopped talking and made a chilling face. It was a look that unfortunately signaled the end of his life. The publicly recorded death of Vijayan is surrounded by controversy to this day, since friends blame Professor Sukumar Azhikode for bringing him to the conference even though he knew that the writer was having heart troubles. Below are the final moments of Vijayan Mash’s life. Following his collapse, Vijayan was taken to a hospital in Thrissur. Oddly enough, the hospital they chose to transport him to was far from the location of the conference, leading to further suspicion of foul play. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/vijayan-mash/
Once a bustling town in Thessaly, Greece, Ropoto is now a ghost town. What happened to this locale to make it so desolate? Well, in 2012, a landslide caused homes and buildings to cascade down the side of a hill, displacing 300 families in the process. The 12-minute documentary Ropoto: Greece’s Sinking Ghost Town details what happened on the day of the landslide, reveals that the sinking continues to happen, and sheds light on the unwillingness of the Greek government to help its own people. As you walk through Ropoto, you might confuse it with the set of a disaster movie. Indeed, the town is still reeling from the effects of the real-life disaster that changed everything 4 years ago. YouTube / Greek Reporter Due to poor drainage, townspeople always relied on specialized machines to move the water around. But when the machines didn’t do their job in 2011, it led to a massive landslide that occurred on April 12, 2012. YouTube / Greek Reporter When the mountain began forming cracks in the ’60s, scientists warned the Greek government that something like this would happen. Sadly, people continued to build on the dangerous land for profit. YouTube / Greek Reporter var OX_ads = OX_ads || []; OX_ads.push({ slot_id: “537251602_56eb95b8af979”, auid: “537251602” }); Many people are still left without homes, and to this day, the town has no electricity. Many residents stay in barns with their animals. Since the last landslide, the town has slipped between 10 and 15 centimeters down the hillside, and Ropoto continues to sink more every year. YouTube / Greek Reporter Here is the entire documentary. It features one of the village’s former council members, Yorgos Roubies. (via Oddity Central) The Greek government refuses to send aid to Ropoto. Some villagers say that they still receive bills for taxes on properties that were ripped out from under them years ago.

Even the toughest cafeteria bullies have nothing on this hungry ghost. At a restaurant in Luton, England, called Jimmy’s World Grill & Bar, everything appeared to be normal…until a woman stopped paying attention to her food, that is. When she walked away, something shoved her lunch off the table. You’ll never leave your food unattended again after you check this video out. (via Unexplained Mysteries) As the folks at Unexplained Mysteries point out, the only hoaxy thing about this video is that the table in question sits awkwardly at the bottom of the screen, where you conveniently can’t see much of what’s going on around it. Would you have asked for a new meal after this? I know I would have taken mine to go! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/lunch-ghost/
Plenty of kids mess with their friends by contorting their bodies in bizarre ways. We all knew children who were inexplicably able to pull their shoulders out of their sockets or bend their thumbs back to their wrists. I’m sorry to say, however, that there might be a new King of Freaks on the playground. This boy effectively usurps the throne of weirdness by doing something absolutely insane with his neck. I know he’s probably done this a million times at this point, but is anyone else afraid that his neck is going to get stuck like that? All I know is that this kid is going to nail the backup portion of his driver’s test when the time comes. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/flexible-kid/
Many videos of “UFOs” can be explained away as airplanes or weather balloons, but this footage taken in the fall of 2013 in Minnesota doesn’t look like anything that could immediately be described as man-made. At first, it appears to be your standard UFO affair, but then the lights start morphing and changing. Suddenly you’re right there with the Minnesota woman when she exclaims, “Freakin’ freaky!” Apparently this thing can be seen daily in Aitkin County, Minnesota. So if it isn’t a UFO, what is it? Some kind of crazy firework? Many believe it’s just the moon through some branches, but one YouTube commenter claims that she took the video and there weren’t any trees in the way. What do you think?

Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper got some flack for using a hilariously fake baby doll in a pivotal scene. Maybe the Hollywood legend’s production team could have used some help from Millennium FX. This group, among other things, specializes in creating animatronic babies with creepily realistic movements. I almost want to console these mechanized little monsters! Even though it looks like a baby Terminator without its skin, you have to admit that it’s way more realistic than Bradley Cooper subtly moving a doll’s lifeless hand while trying to deliver an Oscar-nominated performance. (Just don’t tell these people about the invention.) Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/cyborg-babies/
When it comes to using the stairs, mastering the art was a trial by fire for this puppy. While following her mom downstairs one day, the little husky tried her best to slink down each Mount Olympus-sized step. She made it a few steps down before getting scared and hightailing it back up…which ultimately proved to be her undoing. (Spoiler: she’s fine in the end!) Poor girl! That’s one tough pup. Huskies were originally bred for trudging across the Siberian tundra, so they’re resilient. The stairs surely won’t foil her plans again! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/husky-stairs/
Presumably unable to resist the view from his high-rise apartment in Colombia, this little dog stuck his body through the railings…but quickly found himself dangling by his back paws. Luckily, the pup has some extremely nosey neighbors, and when they heard his yelps of distress, they sprung into action. Watch as one man climbs up from the balcony on the floor below to help this poor dog, despite the possibility of falling to his own doom. (via Mashable) Yikes! Has anyone in Colombia ever heard of spare keys? Hopefully, the pup’s owner learns to gate the balcony so their sight-seeing pooch doesn’t try to pull this stunt again.
