Archeologists, historians, and construction workers collaborating on the relocation of a century-old cemetery near York, UK, made a startling discovery upon unearthing the body of nineteenth-century novelist Jane Austen: she had literally rolled in her grave. The proximity of this event to the release of the parody film "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," a 2016 slasher-thriller about a Victorian family's desperate battle for survival against an undead uprising, left the construction team bemused and wary.
"It's the kind of thing you'd see a joke about on the Internet," chief foreman Russell McNally of United Construction Enterprises said. "I took my kids to see the opening of P&P&Z last weekend, and to see the original author in her present state, it's almost enough to make me throw salt over my shoulder or something."
Janet VanderSchmeen, an Associate Professor in Archeology at the University of Sussex, says that re-orientation of the deceased is uncommon, but not unheard-of. "In grave sites near urban areas whose populations fluctuate dramatically due to environmental or economic variations, we tend to see a re-orientation event in perhaps three to five percent of deceased occupants."
Construction has been temporarily halted in the York construction site, soon to be home to the new 20,000 sq.ft. York Museum of Victorian Literature, to be completed in early 2019. Construction crews have been assigned to temporary leave as archeologists determine the significance of this recent development. At this time, no other anomalies have been recorded at or around the construction site.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
