CCTV catches “ghost" haunting Irish school

<p>An old high school in Cork, Ireland, is no stranger to spooky happenings, but the latest incident – which was captured on CCTV – has to be the scariest. Deerpark CBS has shared a video of its halls, recorded at 3 am on a Sunday, showing some seriously creepy goings-on.</p> <p>In the video, a door can be seen swinging in the corridor, a set of lockers starts shaking violently then ejects its contents, and a wet floor sign appears to be kicked over by an invisible force.</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FIndependent.ie%2Fvideos%2F10155914204228470%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560" width="560" height="314" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p> <p>As easy as it is to dismiss the events as an elaborate prank, apparently this isn’t an isolated incident. The school, founded in 1828, has a long history of paranormal activity.</p> <p>Deerpark Principal Aaron Wolfe told Unilad that the caretaker once reported hearing “the last call” played on the trumpet in the middle of the night when the school was empty. A pupil once heard crying in the bathroom – despite being alone.</p> <p>But that’s not all. “The female members of staff do complain that this particular part is extremely cold,” he said. “It’s also outside the Religion Room – which is weird.”</p> <p>The plot thickens! Tell us in the comments below, do you believe the school is haunted? Or is this just the product of cheeky students and some very suggestible staff members?</p>

CCTV footage key to Dreamworld death investigations

<p>Police have confirmed the incident which led to the <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/2016/10/one-dead-in-accident-at-dreamworld/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>tragic death of four people</strong></span></a> in Dreamworld yesterday has been captured on CCTV footage and will be reviewed.  </p> <p>Specific details of the incident, occurring on the Thunder River Rapids Ride, remain unclear, but the entire event was reportedly caught on the park's security camera. The footage is set to be extensively reviewed by police and health and safety authorities.  </p> <p>The news comes as Queensland Police assistant commissioner Brian Codd confirmed that two children, aged 10 and 13, were able to extricate themselves from the ride.</p> <p>Codd said, “It’s almost a miracle anyone came out of that. The full analysis of how that (the accident) occurred, how inconsistent that is with the normal operating procedures, will be very much at the forefront of our investigation.”</p> <p>Dreamworld is expected to remain closed as forensic teams and engineers attempt to make sense of the incident, and determine the cause of the malfunction. </p> <p>Codd added, “There will be a broad range of things examined – policies, procedures, maintenance schedules and the actual, I guess, the make-up of the whole ride itself in terms of compliance about contemporary engineering.</p> <p>“To hold accountable any person that needs to be held account.”</p> <p>Our thoughts are with the family of those who passed. </p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/health/mind/2016/09/crying-can-be-good-for-you/"><em>Having a big cry can actually be good for you</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/health/mind/2016/09/10-steps-to-build-your-confidence/"><em>10 steps to build your confidence</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/health/mind/2016/09/5-scientific-ways-to-make-your-brain-happy/">5 scientific ways to make your brain happy</a></em></strong></span></p>
