\u27a2Bears apparently crave comfort food just like we do. Tuesday night (August 18th) someone shot a video at a Safeway Grocery store in Kings Beach, California that shows a brown bear walking out of the store with a bag of Tostitos chips in its mouth. She managed to capture footage of the bear inside the store, then outside the store eating from a garbage can, and then walking back into the store. Luckily, no one was hurt.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 A paranormal researcher says haunted house reports are on the rise since the beginning of the pandemic. John E.L. Tenney, the former host of TV\u2019s \u201cGhost Stalkers,\u201d says he used to receive two to five calls a month from people convinced their homes are haunted, but since COVID-19 restrictions started, he gets five to 10 calls a week. Why? According to him, it\u2019s because more people are at home and taking notice of their environment. Tenney says perhaps some people have had a ghost in their house all along and they\u2019ve just never noticed the \u201cpops and creaks\u201d that may be coming from an otherworldly source.<\/p>\n

The largest snake was 3.2 feet (1 meter) long. She says “I sort of looked at them for a second and thought … that’s not right,”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tree snakes, which mostly feed on frogs and skinks, are non-venomous and usually sleep in tree hollows. She took a picture and some video before calling a friend for help to remove them.<\/p>\n The friend released the snakes unharmed into a cane field nearby.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is not the first time Pearson has made such a discovery. Just over a month ago, she found another tree snake inside her bathroom next to the toilet, she said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She said she suspected the snakes had entered her house through cracks in the floorboards.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n HITTING THE PREHISTORIC HAY:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n In South Africa\u2019s renowned Border Cave excavation site, archaeologists have uncovered evidence of grass sleeping mats that date back 200,000 years \u2014 more than 100,000 years earlier than previously thought.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They say the prehistoric slumber sacks used a surprisingly sophisticated system of grass stacked on top of ash from a fireplace or burned plants, which was apparently used to keep pets from jumping in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is thought that these beds were also used as a workspace, as they contained stone shards from the tools used in their making. \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST<\/sup> \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tampa Bay Lightning 3, Boston Bruins 2 (2OT) —\u00a0Tampa Bay wins series 4 games to 1<\/em><\/p>\n Colorado Avalanche 6, Dallas Stars 3 — Dallas leads 3 games to 2<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n NBA PLAYOFFS:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n First Round:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Oklahoma City 104, Houston Rockets 100 — Series tied at 3-3<\/p>\n Conference Semifinals:<\/em><\/p>\n Miami Heat 115, Milwaukee Bucks 104 — Miami leads series 1 game to 0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
