The most interesting thing about this link to me is that if the photographer is to be believed, she wasn't there to prove that ghosts existed but rather just to make jokes and go along for the ride of the cemetery tour.
Of course, to a point, it's all about what you're willing to believe.
Last week many thousands of you clicked onto a link to Pravda story about a lamb that was born with a human face.
If true, truly disturbing. As always I've enjoyed the conversations about whether or not it could have been photoshopped. Many of you, it would seem, could fake anything and showed me so.
Maybe that's why I am drawn to the 100% authentic this week. A few hundred miles north of me in the last few steps you can take before the soil switches from American to Canadian, Lily, a three-year-old black bear, has become a national star through a special "Bear Cam" that is set up just outside her den. Lily appears to have given birth to just one cub (although the website hasn't been updated) and it's been fun to track her all week. The North American Bear Center is also looking for donations.
To watch and listen to the hibernating bear that's raising her cub live online, bookmark this website:

Based on the conversations about photoshopping I was having in the e-mail, I wasn't sure that the following video was true either:

Pretty darn funny.
Frame by frame, it started to look fake to me but then I found this story in the Metro.co.uk:
British female rider Gillian Cooke found out why lycra can be a bad idea when her behind was exposed during a race.
The bobsleigh rider bent over a bit too far before the championship race in St Moritz, Switzerland, ripping her costume and showing off her black g-string.
Scottish-born Cooke was caught on video with her team mate Nicola Minichielle just seconds before jumping into the bobsleigh.
Despite the embarrassing moment, the girls still managed to finish seventh in the race.
We'll be seeing more of Gillian in Vancouver--so to speak.
