The festival has taken place on an annual basis since the 1620's.

It marks the Corpus Christi feast in Castrillo de Murcia, near Burgos, Spain.

The jump is meant to cleanse the babies of all evil doings. Damn!! Superstitions.

It is the only baby jumping festival in the world.

Anyone with a newborn baby can bring them to this festival. It is a fun, yet scary to watch, event.

Monster Mystery Reveals - 'Bigfoot' Caught By Taxidermist

A TAXIDERMIST has found Mexico's answer to 'bigfoot' — and STUFFED the legendary blood-sucking beast.

Rumours of a mythical hairless creature named chupacabra — or "the goatsucker" — have been circulating throughout America since its first appearance in Puerto Rico in the 1990s.

And in recent years the creepy wolf-dog has been spotted repeatedly in the US.

Now, a former student at the Blanco Taxidermy School in Texas, Lynn Butler, has caught a coyote-like creature some say is the fabled animal.

The school's chief instructor, Robert McDaniel, said Mr Butler had heard something in his cousin's barn "tearing up the chickens pretty bad".

"He left poison out thinking it was a raccoon or other vermin," Mr McDaniel said.

The next day Butler discovered the dead animal, stuffed it and took it to the school to be identified.

Mr McDaniel said since the discovery the phone has been "ringing off the hook" with chupacabra enthusiasts eager to hear about the beast.

He said: "We've had about 100 calls a day."

Jerry Ayer, owner of the Blanco Taxidermy School, said: "To be honest, I don't know what it is.

"I'd probably say it's a freak-of-nature coyote, or a hybrid breed with a genetic mutation."

Mr Ayer said he stuffs about 15 to 20 coyotes a year — but this is no normal coyote.

He revealed: "The footpads are different. They're rather bulbous. And this has longer legs by a few inches.

"It has a little fuzz around the feet. Almost like little socks of fur. And there's a little hair up the backbone. Very odd-looking.

"The hairlessness is sinister because you can see the bones protruding at the hips."

He added: "These types [of animals] will zip in and out of people's backyards and eat anything live or dead. They have two big canine teeth in the front and they go for the neck."

Two universities are now carrying out tests to try to identify the creature.

Note : Two universities are now carrying out tests to try to identify the creature but I need to know what's going in your mind ?? what could be this damn blood sucking beast ?? wolf ?? dog ?!!

World's Haunted Railway Station In Stalin's Lost City

Introduction : We’ve had recently an abandoned railway in Abkhazia, abandoned as a result of USSR collapse when new “independent” republics couldn’t maintain the complicated and high-cost USSR legacy objects. But this one was abandoned long before the USSR collapse, it was doomed to be abandoned from the beginning. It was built by a personal Stalin’s order in the middle of nowhere - deep inside Northern Siberia between Salekhard city and Igarka town. It was not connected with any other Russian Federal Railway System and the purpose of it still is not very clear, so as a senseless toy it way abandoned pretty soon and now rusts accessible only with a helicopter.

It was one of the most ambitious projects of the Stalin era, known as the "railway of bones". At least 10 people a day died during the four years of its construction, but unlike most of Uncle Joe's grand designs it was never completed and now sits unfinished in the tundra, an icy road to nowhere.

Yet today officials are considering restarting work on the vast railway that Stalin hoped would run inside the Arctic Circle, initially from the north Siberian town of Salekhard to the port of Igarka. Work was abandoned in 1953, shortly after the dictator's death, yet its usefulness appeals to Moscow today.

The Kremlin, which sees its global influence resting on its abundance of natural resources, may have the railway finished to link the bountiful gas fields and metal mines of Arctic Siberia with Europe. Sergei Ivanov, deputy head of Russia's massive state rail company, said recently they were considering extending the railway to the nickel-rich town of Norilsk, responsible for 2% of Russia's GDP. A local engineer told the Guardian last week that he has been instructed to revisit the plans for the railway, considered to be technically excellent.

Renewed interest in the project comes as an exhibition in its memory opens in Moscow, at the Sakharov Museum, named after the Soviet-era dissident. Ludmila Vesilovskaya, curator of the exhibition, said it was designed to show that prison labour was a vital part of the Soviet economy and that its purpose was often not as "senseless as the many myths about the Stalin era try to show".

The decision to begin work on "Projects 503 and 501" was announced in January 1949. Stalin wanted to improve access to the Bering Strait, then the easiest route to the Soviet Union's new main adversary, the US. "We must take the north in hand", he is reported to have said, adding that "labour power and resources will be no problem".

In fact, work on the 750-mile railway had already begun in April 1947, heading in two directions, project 503 west from Igarka, and project 501 east from the town of Salekhard. "At the peak of activity in 1951, 85,000 prisoners were working on it," said Oleg Prikhodko, a researcher in Salekhard. "The climate was awful, the winters terribly severe." The walls of the barracks in which the prisoners lived were "very thin" and it was "difficult to understand how they survived in 50 below zero".

Ms Vesilovskaya said there were no exact figures available for the number of prisoners who died making the 435 miles of railway that was completed. A report from one of the directorates for January 1951 showed they lost about 1% of their prisoners, she said. "Each had 30,000 to 50,000 workers, so that's at least 300 dead a month."

Among the survivors was Lazar Shereshevsky, 79, arrested in the army in 1944. He was part of a troupe of 200 entertainers who travelled along the railway construction site, staging operas for the labourers. "The main causes of death were working accidents, disease and illness," he said, adding that scurvy was a major killer, as were disputes between criminal groups in the camps that the guards did little to prevent.

"The main thing was to build quickly and effectively," he said, adding that work was impossible during winter.

Actual labour was confined to the six warmer months of the year. "The work was hard, but the hardest thing were the mosquitoes - myriads of them that covered everything", he said. He added that in the 24-hour daylight of the polar zone they "ate us all day long".

Ms Vesilovskaya said she hopes her Moscow exhibition will explain to the younger generation that a vital part of Russian history is disappearing. "There is a danger we will lose, with these last buildings and camps, part of our historical memory," she said.

Existence Of Phantoms Around The World

An eerie image of a figure in period costume at a Scottish castle has spooked experts conducting the biggest ever investigation into photographic evidence for ghosts. The picture, taken in May 2008, appears to show a man or woman in a ruff peering out of a barred window at Tantallon Castle. No mannequins or costumed guides are employed at the castle, and three photographic experts have confirmed that no digital trickery was used on the photo. Tantallon Castle, a ruined fortress dating back to the 14th century, stands on a remote rocky headland near North Berwick on the Scottish east coast.

Runners up were as follows: Second place; "The Ghost in the Woods": The picture appears to show a strange ghostly figure in the trees.

Sceptics' explanation: Probably simply a mixture of shadows, leaves and branches

Third place; "The Ghost on the Street": A strange shadowy figure appears next to the couple in the picture.
Sceptics' explanation: The blurring in the image suggests a long exposure. A person may have walked past the photographer unnoticed .

Fourth place; "The Ghost on the Beach": A mysterious dark hooded figure stands at the water's edge.
Sceptics' explanation: The figure is an illusion created by an indentation in the rock face .

Fifth place; "The Ghost in the Mirror": A ghostly face appears in a car's wing mirror. The photographer says no-one else was around at the time.
Sceptics' explanation: The face could be a reflection of a headrest, someone standing nearby, or the result of digital manipulation .

Some of the other photos submitted to the site include this 'face' image. Possibly due to people seeing patterns in random shapes. Photographer Filip Gazi.

A misty face looms large in this photo, possibly caused by condensed breath in front of the lens. Photographer Lorraine Morrison.

Taken whilst the photographer was out walking with his children and dog, this image appears to contain a strange figure in the trees. Skeptics argue that the apparent figure is simply a mixture of shadows, leaves and branches.

A 'figure' image. Possibly due to a double image or long exposure.

This picture by Michael Dunbar appears to show a ghostly figure walking up the path, but sceptics say this is probably another long exposure.


An 'orb' image. Possibly caused by the camera flash reflecting off tiny dust particles. Photographer Mark Stock.
