Sean Connery & Brigitte Bardot

It may seem like an unlikely sight, but the two of them did work together on a film before, during Sean’s stint as the original gentleman spy, James Bond. Both of them sex symbols in their own right, and they are quite a pair of friends as well.

Princess Olga of Kiev

Princess Olga of Kiev is probably one of the toughest and most bad-ass figures in history. After an Eastern Slavic tribe, Drevlyans, murdered her husband, she had a boat-load of suitors buried alive and burned down in each and every city of the Drevlyans.

Rowan Atkinson & Christian Bale

Once upon a time, a young Christian Bale met the Mr. Bean star and both of them got to hang out and talk. Not every fan of the show gets to do this. Maybe Christian remembers getting to talk to him.

Hilary Clinton & Meryl Streep

The secretary of state turned presidential candidate with one of the best actresses in Hollywood of all time. In one photo. While trying to take a selfie. We can assume that both of them are big fans of each other and are just honored to be in each other’s presence.

Michael Jackson & Woody Allen

No doubt that the King of Pop has got a lot of friends in the industry, and another friend is the Annie Hall writer and director himself. In what looks like a movie theater or a party. Either way, the two of them seem to be having fun. Or at least Michael is.

Michael Jackson & Mr. T

He pities the fool that wears his jewelry, but Michael isn’t a fool. But it’s still so adorable to see them hanging out like this.

Rape of Nanking

Most textbooks about Holocaust have little to no entries about the Rape of Nanking. Such horrific mass murder and mass rape was perpetrated by the Japanese soldiers against the citizens of Nanking, the capital of the Republic of China. Pregnant women were raped and their bellies chopped off, family members were forced to rape each other, children and infants were raped and even the monks were made to violate their vow of celibacy by forcing them to rape young girls.

 Jim Parsons & Rihanna

Both of them are basically from the opposite sides of the spectrum. Jim is an actor, Riri is a singer. Both of them are the leads for the animated film “Home”, so it only makes sense that the two of them would get along very well while voice acting. We could hear Sheldon say “Bazinga”.

Neil Patrick Harris & Christina Hendricks

And onto this side of things we’ve got Barney all suited up and hanging with.. is that Joan Hollaway?! We request only the highest of fives with these two. Barney will most likely have to introduce Joan to his circle of friends.

Beautiful Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham

It’s not easy being posh, especially when your teeth are anything but! Victoria Beckham now has a set of perfect pearly whites, but it was not always that way. At one time her mouth was full of a mix of all sorts of shaped teeth. Nothing a nice set of veneers couldn’t fix! She rarely smiles, but knowing what her mouth was like on arrival then it is easy to see that it is likely to be habit formed over years if holding her skirts up meant that those pirates could enjoy the view and I hoped they had a blast as King.

And People Thought Kids Today Were Crazy

Photo from justpo.st

This is a picture of someone who seems to have no fear, likes taking risks, and finds regular golfing to be boring. Why not mix it up by risking death to take a shot off of a skyscraper under construction? This almost makes those “Jackass” guys seem tame. Oh, the 1930s!

The Conspirator

Photo from Pinterest

Lewis Payne conspired with James Wilkes Booth, who was made infamous by assassinating President Lincoln. Payne was supposed to kill Seward, and assumed he did after seeing the amount of blood Seward lost during the attack. Seward did survive, and Payne was executed

hanging out on a Saturday night

 Madonna, Sting, & Tupac Shakur

Here are the three of them, hanging out on a Saturday night, bonding over cocktails and fancy meals and probably talking about how they’re going to take over the industry bit by bit and become icons in their own right. Yeah, just another Saturday night in a fancy restaurant.

MJ AND SIR PAUL McCARTNEY

Michael Jackson & Sir Paul McCartney

It’s just a regular night at home with the King of Pop and a Beatle. Michael’s doing the dishes and Sir Paul is wiping the plates. We wonder what they had for dinner.

The Famous Roaring Lion

Whenever you see anything from MGM, you hear that iconic lion roar. This is a shot of one of their lions being recorded while roaring.

Even a Queen Serves in the Military

Photo from The Daily Mail UK

One of the reasons the idea of Queen Elizabeth II is a Nazi sympathizer is crazy is because she served in the military during WWII against the Nazis. Here you can see the future queen changing a tire on a military vehicle during her service. This set a good example, especially to grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry, who also served their country.

Lili Elbe

Photo from The Daily Mail UK

Lili Elbe was a transgender woman from Denmark and one of the first identifiable people to have received gender reassignment surgery. She died shortly after one surgery, which would have allowed her to marry as she wanted to legally. Recently a movie starring Eddie Redmayne, based off of the book “The Danish Girl”, was made about her.

Falling Man

Another one of the most surprising images on this list so far, and one which may also be one of the most saddening. A man falling from the World Trade Center during the dreaded 9/11 tragedy that struck the people in New York, and all over the world as well.

''BABY I AM HERE FOR YOU''.

REUNITED

Being in the army means having to make your loved ones wait a long time, with no certainty that you would be able to come back. It is a reality a soldier faces whenever they think of serving their country. Army veteran Terri Gurrola was in Iraq for 7 months, serving as a medic near Ramadi. She was then able to come back home and see her daughter, and the moment she sees her, she bursts into tears.

A Pianist

Taken in 1994, where a Russian soldier in Chechnya sees an abandoned piano and decides to play a few notes. One would wonder how that piano got to that place, but it may be due to the owner’s attempt in moving out.

LET STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Dagsa’s Assassin

Reynaldo Dagsa was a politician in the Philippines and was on vacation when his family when he was assassinated. You can see the family picture, but if you look a little to the left, you can also see the gun that is about to kill him.

Regina Kay Walters

This photo was taken by serial killer Robert Ben Rhoades right before he killed the 14-year-old in the photo. He killed her in an 18-wheeler that he had equipped for torture. One of the first things he made his victims do is wear a black dress and high heels – just like in the photo.

Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn, New York

This may come as a surprise, as one of New York City’s most famous landmarks, who would ever think the bridge is haunted. As a hot spot for suicides along with a tragic opening day incident, this bridge has supposedly caught the eyes of ghosts in need of a busy stomping ground.
Aside from suicides, one bridge builder was decapitated by a snapped cable while working on the bridge while another 12 people were killed in a stampede on the bridge’s opening due to the belief that the bridge would collapse. All of these ghosts have been reportedly witnessed, along with screams for help in the water beneath the bridge, with of course, no one to be found.

Somebody is a having a good time in the pool

---

This guy seems like he’s having a good time in the pool. This looks like a really good timing to do that kind of pose while the two girls just went out from the slide, huh? But what are you doing there under the slide my friend?

Sachs Bridge, Gettysburg

One of the most famous locations in the United States for hauntings and paranormal activity, it comes as no surprise that this bridge in Gettysburg is also haunted.  The Confederate army retreated over the bridge in July of 1863. Supposedly, the bridge is plagued with ghosts of dead soldiers from the Civil War.Full bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, cold spots and people being touched have been reported on more than one occasion.

These dogs can’t wait for their honeymoon.

---

Every moment of the wedding should be captured beautifully, but this depicts something else. Looks like these dogs would like to teach the bride and the groom something for their honeymoon! But we can’t deny that this is a funny yet memorable wedding photo, right? Good job dogs!

Duncan is a fan friendly basketball player.

dailysanctuary.com

We all know that every basketball game has two teams competing with each other and only one team can win, but it seems like these guys won because they had Tim Duncan in the picture with them. Look at the guy wearing a Spurs jersey, looks like Duncan has something in mind and wants to whisper it in his ears.

Bermuda Triangle

Perhaps one of the most popular unsolved mysteries until today. The cause of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, among many other strange occurrences like the sudden malfunctioning of equipment seemed to happen here. It’s a stretch of the Atlantic ocean, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Gas Hydrates have been theorized to have caused the sinkholes near the region.

SS Ourang Medan

Talk about mysterious. The SS Ourang Medan, or in English, “Man from Medan” is a Malaysian ship that experienced a mind-boggling mysterious event back in 1947. It had started with an SOS message that mentioned the captain, as well as the rest of the crew, were all found dead. What made it even creepier was that the telegrapher had also died upon transmission of the message.
The Silver Star had received the distress call, they went to inspect the ship, and confirmed the deaths of everyone that was in it. There have been numerous theories, from ghosts, to UFO but until now, no one has figured out the explanation behind this.

Underwater Crop Circle

This ocean enigma was found in the island of Anami Oshima in Japan. Although these have been thought to be the work of puffer fish for their quests to find their mates, it was still a mystery on how these came to be. This crop circle has a circumference of over 6 feet, and it is also decorated with shells and other items found at the bottom. But there are still some who believe that this is the work of aliens.

 
Perhaps it is our preoccupation with the other side after death, or just with death in general, but humans have this other worldly obsession with ghosts. Today it is hard to believe in images because of Photoshop, but these will make you believe:

1. Soldier

This soldier appears in random photos that people take in Gettysburg. Ghost sightings are common in this area, and many people have said that they don’t feel like they are alone when they walk through the battle fields. Intense studies have been done to identify the man in the photo, but no results have been found.

Jonestown Mass Suicide/Murder

This gruesome and horrible image is just hard to believe as true. On November 18, 1978, the world witnessed a terrible incident as some people of Jonestown willingly and voluntarily taken poison-laced punch while the others did so at gunpoint.
It was said that Jim Jones, the charismatic churchman who established the Peoples Temple induced the people to do such unfortunate incident in history as a “revolutionary act”. Death toll reached 909 including innocent children in what the world called as the Cult of Death.

Dark Secrets About The European Migrant Crisis

2. 1%
 

If you read the British press, you’d think that Calais was the major battleground of the European migrant crisis, and that Britain was the holy grail of its protagonists. In reality, the migrants at Calais account for as little as 1% of those who have arrived in Europe so far this year. Estimates suggest that between 2,000-5,000 migrants have reached Calais, which is between 1% and 2.5% of the more than 200,000 who have landed in Italy and Greece. Just as importantly, there is no evidence to suggest that as many as seven in 10 have reached Britain after arriving in Calais.

3. 0.027%

Hammond said that the migrants would speed the collapse of the European social order. In reality, the number of migrants to have arrived so far this year (200,000) is so minuscule that it constitutes just 0.027% of Europe’s total population of 740 million. The world’s wealthiest continent can easily handle such a comparatively small influx.

4. 1.2 million

There are countries with social infrastructure at breaking point because of the refugee crisis – but they aren’t in Europe. The most obvious example is Lebanon, which houses 1.2 million Syrian refugees within a total population of roughly 4.5 million. To put that in context, a country that is more than 100 times smaller than the EU has already taken in more than 50 times as many refugees as the EU will even consider resettling in the future. Lebanon has a refugee crisis. Europe – and, in particular, Britain – does not.A

36.95

Many claim that Britain is a coveted destination for migrants because of its generous benefits system. Aside from the reality that most migrants have little prior knowledge of the exact nature of each European country’s asylum system, it is not true that the UK is particularly beneficent. Each asylum seeker in Britain gets a meagre £36.95 to live on (and they are not usually allowed to work to supplement this sum). In France, whose policies are supposedly driving up the numbers at Calais, migrants actually receive substantially more. According to the Asylum Information Database,asylum seekers in France receive up to £56.62 a week. Germany and Sweden – the two most popular migrant destinations – pay out £35.21 and £36.84 a week respectively, only fractionally less than Britain.

These Mickey and Minnie Mouse costumes from the 1930’s.

The modern image of Mickey and Minnie Mouse is nowhere near these creepy figures! Well, we all know that they may have brought fun to kids during the 1930’s but I’m pretty sure not a single child would want to come near these disturbing costumes nowadays.

Book Bound By Skin

Did you know that there is such a thing called anthropodermic bibliopegy which means covering books in human skin! Imagine yourself browsing through a book bound by human skin. That’s downright creepy! One of the few surviving examples is the one in UK owned by the Bristol Record Office.
It was made from the skin of John Horwood, the first man to be hanged at Bristol Gaol after murdering his subject of infatuation, Eliza Balsum.

A Picture With Grandpa Taken Years After He Died

Denise Russell shared this photo to share a creepy story behind it. The photo was taken in August 17, 1997 when her grandma was still alive at 94. On December 2000, family members browsed through some photos and found the one where her grandma gave a sweet smile while a male figure stood behind her.
Russell never had any clue as to the identity of that man, until old photos of her grandpa was brought and looked exactly the same as the man behind her grandma. The creepy thing is that his grandpa died on August 14, 1984 long before the picture was taken!

Child In Cemetery

Sometime in 1946 to 1947 a woman named Mrs. Andrews visited the grave of her daughter Joyce who died in 1945 at a young age of 17. Mrs. Andrews take a photo of Joyce’s grave marker and when the film was developed, she was astounded to see the image of a small child happily playing at her daughter’s grave. Mrs. Andrews swore she saw no child at the time she took the photo.
After investigating the case, they found out that near Joyce’s grave was the grave of two infant girls.

The lavish £345million five-star CAVE hotel being built in an abandoned Chinese quarry

Two of the hotel’s 19 storeys will be built underwater and will feature an aquarium with glass walls
The other 17 storeys will be built inside a cave at the base of the Tianmenshan Mountain
The British design firm behind the plans claim the roof of the £345-million hotel will sit just 15 metres above ground
Construction has begun on a luxury five-star hotel being built INSIDE a 100-metre deep, water-filled abandoned quarry in China at the base of the Tianmenshan Mountain.
The £345million cave hotel in the Songjiang District has been designed by British-based firm Atkins and will have 380 rooms over 19 storeys – two of which will be underwater. 

The rest of the InterContinental Shimao hotel will be built into the mountainous landscape and guests will be able to do watersports on the lake and use the nearby cliffs for rock-climbing and bungee jumping.
It is expected to take around three years to build and guests could be staying in the resort by 2015 – with rooms likely to cost around £200 a night.

The two underwater floors will have an aquarium with glass walls that look out onto an underwater restaurant and guest rooms.

A swimming pool and a sports centre will also be built inside the hotel as well as several restaurants, a banqueting hall and conference rooms for business meetings.
Although the guest rooms will vary in size, they are expected to start from around £200 a night.
Atkins has designed the structure to blend in with the landscape using an eco-friendly green roof planted with various trees.

How the current abandoned quarry in Shanghai looks. The hotel has been designed by British firm Adkins to make sure it blends in with the landscape. It will be fitted with an eco-friendly roof and will use natural, nearby resources to power the hotel

Li Xuyang, a senior manager for Shimao Group told Shortlist: ‘Two stories will be built underwater, 17 will be within the cave and two more will be above ground.

‘The roof of the hotel will only be 15 m above the cave.

‘The idea was to take advantage of this unique land form and to create a garden growing in the air.

People could view the hundred-meter high waterfall from their room window.

‘The hotel is part of the larger project to build Shimao Shanghai Wonderland, a large-scale theme park.’
