Ghost in morgue

A man came back from the dead in South Africa.
...Well not really. He was thought to be dead by his family who took him to the morgue where he lay asleep for over 24 hours before waking up and screaming to be let out.
Staff at the morgue ran away from him, thinking he was a ghost.

Sounds like the plot to a cartoon if you ask me.

'Alien' arrested in China

This is the first post on my new blog, Phill's News. I am going to post strange news stories here and draw a picture for each. I hope to post new stories every few days.

So the first ever story I will report? Well as reported by the Sun Newspaper on 22nd July, an alien was causing trouble in a small village in central China. A houswife found the beast and captured it when it tried to steal her cucumber. She took it to the police and demanded they arrest it.

It turns out it's not an alien after all just a really sick monkey. The monkey is now being examined by experts.
