Happy Easter Readers!


Well, in case we don't get on tomorrow we here at the Weird News Daily would like to wish each and every one of you a safe and enjoyable Easter holiday! Oh, and don't worry about the Bunny, we hear he is great at hide and seek...

Johnny Bravo 9-11



The show "Johnny Bravo" is one of my favourite cartoons, but watching a certain episode named "Chain Gang Johnny" I noticed a particular picture in the background.

This is completely coincidental, but that burning building in the background struck me as a tad odd. Of course, my thoughts went to September 11th 2001. I did a little research on it and this particular episode aired on April 27th, 2001. 4 months before said event. The words "Coming Soon" shook me.

I'm sure this is entirely coincidental, but this is just some food for thought.

Weird A-Z. X is for Xing-Xing


The Xing-Xing, also known as the xīng xīng (猩猩) or shēng shēng (狌狌), is a small unknown primate in the Himalayan Mountains that is said to be a subspecies of Orangutan, simply a mainland Orangutan out of the well-established range for the species, or a large relative of the Golden-Faced apes.

Not a very exciting one this week I am afraid, but hey! Give us a break! 'X' is hard! :D

The Grand Caverns Cryptids



This photo was taken in 1895 by an amateur spelunker/photographer named Oren Jeffries while exploring an unmapped section of Grand Caverns, in Southwestern Virginia. 

At the time it was taken, Jeffries was conducting photographic experiments, using super long exposures to see if anything at all could be captured in the total absence of light—otherwise known as “cave darkness.” He would situate himself on level ground, extinguish his lantern, and then open the lens of his homemade box camera for as long as he could stand the darkness.

During one of these experiments, he heard something approach from the deeper recesses of the cave. Frightened, Jeffries abandoned his experiment and set off one of the Blitzlicht flashes he used for taking traditional photos underground.

According to the report he later gave to a local newspaper, Jeffries saw three “humanoid” creatures staring at him from the shadows and took off running in the other direction and didn’t stop running until he was topside. Several days later, he returned with three other men to retrieve his box camera. This is the image that was recorded on the film inside.

The Disappearances of Mrs. Yurno



During her later years, Josephine Yurno would take a walk every evening at dusk around her beloved neighborhood in Norwich, Connecticut. On November 12, 1935, she set out as usual and never returned. Extensive searches were conducted by a large team of volunteers and the Norwich police force but no sign of her was ever found. 
Three years later, Mrs. Yurno was found in front of a neighbor’s house, without a mark on her body and in perfect health. When asked where she had been, Mrs. Yurno was unable to understand the question. From her point of view, no time had passed at all.

Against the advice of her neighbors and her doctor, she refused all medical treatment and resumed her life as if nothing had ever happened, including the nightly walks,. Another neighbor snapped this shot of her in the fall of 1938. Clouds of smoke from piles of burning leaves give it an appropriately eerie feel.

On the same date in November, 1940, five years after her initial disappearance, Mrs. Yurno vanished again. This time she was never seen again.

Charlie Noonan’s Last Interview


To keep up to date with more great stories like this one either use the link on the right to 'like' us on Facebook or visit:



Charlie Noonan was an amateur folklorist who travelled throughout the South and Southwestern United States during the early years of the 20th century, collecting tall tales and stories of the supernatural. According to his wife, Ellie, Charlie was told a story one day by an Oklahoma farmer about a strange woman who lived alone on an isolated property in the panhandle. The farmer claimed the woman was not a woman at all, but something else, something that hid its true nature beneath a headscarf and was never seen without a large dog by its side. Noonan was apparently intrigued enough to try searching for the woman during one of his research road trips. He was never seen again.

Ellie Noonan was later contacted by a Tulsa pawnbroker who remembered reading about her husband’s disappearance in the papers, after finding his name engraved on a camera sold to him by an itinerant. The pawnbroker returned the camera, and Mrs. Noonan had the film inside developed in the hopes of finding a clue as to his whereabouts. This was the only photo on the roll. Unfortunately, neither the location of the property, nor the name of the farmer who told him the story was recorded in Noonan’s notes.
