Overwhelming evidence’ that Planet X will DESTROY Earth in 2017

Paranormal researchers have been investigating the possibility of Planet X for several years now, and some believe that it is now travelling towards Earth.

Research scientist David Meade claims that an entire different solar system is on a collision course with our own and that Planet X, which the conspiracy theorist believes is actually a star, and its gravitational pull will cause widespread destruction here on Earth that will ultimately lead to the end of humanity.

Mr Meade, an author who wrote the book ‘Planet X – The 2017 Arrival’, believes that the devastating Planet X will bring with it “seven orbiting bodies”, including Nibiru, a large, blue planet.

The conspiracy theorist believes that the star system is difficult to spot because of the angle that it is approaching Earth.-READ MORE AND WATCH VIDEO

Weird Christmas traditions happening this weekend around the world

Christmas means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, even within the same country, city or household.

To many people in Britain, it often entails seeing family you’ve missed, confronting family you haven’t missed, heavy drinking, twee Christian traditions, re-runs of classic feel-good films, the commodification of gift-giving, or simply a few days’ off to listen to your old-fashioned Nan rant about the country going down the pan.

While the majority of Britons will celebrate Christmas in some capacity, only a minority of the world’s population will, with two billion Christians and non-Christians across the globe recognising the holiday.

Skull casket holding human bones reveals weird burial rituals

Death was a complicated business in prehistoric Brazil. Cadavers were meticulously dismembered and put on public display. Some parts seem to have been cooked and eaten, and then the bones were carefully tidied up and buried.

On at least one occasion, a skullcap became a convenient storage container for cooked and defleshed bones.

These intricate rituals offer a unique glimpse into the belief system of an ancient hunter-gatherer people, according to the international team of archaeologists investigating the burials – but other researchers caution about reading too much into the curious finds.

The hunter-gatherers who lived in central South America 10,000 or so years ago have traditionally been seen as simple people who were reluctant to embrace novelty.

But André Strauss at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, takes a different view. He and his colleagues have excavated burials at Lapa do Santo in east-central Brazil. They have found evidence that burial practices changed dramatically not once, but twice in just 2000 years.Read More

The weird case of the man who tried to eat himself, and other bizarre brain disorders

Soldier Warren McKinlay spent 18 months as a “walking corpse” after a rare condition left him thinking he was dead.

Warren, 35, from Essex, had Cotard’s syndrome , a billion-to-one condition that leaves sufferers believing they are deceased, as we revealed in the Mirror this week. Some patients even die from starvation after not feeling a need to eat.

But his condition is not the one where the brain plays tricks on the patient. And doctors are still in the dark about the reasons behind many of these rare syndromes.

From believing your loved one is one of the body snatchers to feeling as if the room is shrinking like in Alice In Wonderland, many of these conditions sound more like science fiction, than medical fact...2 More

There’s a misconception about Thanksgiving food in America.

Yes, for some it’s about roast turkey and trimmings but for others it seems that anything goes.

While most people are familiar with the story of the infamous witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and 1693, less well known are the legends told in the Mount Holly, NJ area of women being tried for witchcraft in that town in 1730. The story may stem from an article appeared on October 22, 1730 in the Pennsylvania Gazette, which allegedly chronicled a recent witch trial that taken place in Mount Holly.  The article explained in depth both the reasons those accused were suspected of practicing witchcraft as well as the actions undertaken to determine if they were truly tapping into dark powers.

According to the Gazette, locals began fearing the worst when their animals began acting strangely.  “...the Accused had been charged with making their Neighbours Sheep dance in an uncommon Manner, and with causing Hogs to speak and sing Psalms.”

The ability to control the actions of animals had long been considered a surefire sign of witchery, and the citizens of Mount Holly would not stand for it.  They rounded up those they held responsible, one witch and one wizard, and proceeded to test their innocence.  A  rowdy mob of 300 townsfolk forced a man and woman to undergo trials.  To validate the results, two members of the rabble also underwent these tests as a sort of litmus to prove their fair

Y-fronts, dog shampoo and flannel shirts: when band merch gets weird

O
nce upon a time if you liked a band you braved passive aggressive record shop assistants and bought their latest 7-inch. Then came the Beatles, and all of a sudden you could buy lunch boxes, little figurines and tea towels. They kickstarted a merchandise continuum that eventually saw my little sister sleeping under a Backstreet Boys duvet cover while wearing a Take That T-shirt and waiting to be awoken by an ‘NSync alarm clock. Pandora’s box was opened, and there was nonsense, underwear and JLS condoms inside.read more
