If you are anything like us, being chased around an abandoned shopping centre by an army of zombies might not sound like your ideal way of spending an afternoon.

But following on from a 'Zombie Boot Camp' which taught zombie-survival skills, it's the latest zombie experience day which has just launched in the UK.

'Zombie Shopping Mall' takes place in a disused and condemned Reading shopping mall where participants shoot zombies in a series of video game-style missions.
 
Participants are put through an intense training regime with a police firearms squad before trying their luck with the undead.

Sure everyone's heard of the Loch Ness Monster, but have you ever heard of the Lagarfljóts Worm, Iceland's answer to Nessie? Well you have now!

And not only have you heard about Lagarfljótsormurinn but here's a video which it's claimed shows the mythical monster swimming in Lagarfljót Lake.

Footage appears to show a giant snake (about 90m) swimming against the current in an icy river which runs in to Lagarfljót.

Reports of Lagarfjóts Worm date back to 1345 -- but some critics say this latest example looks more like frozen netting moving in the river.

If we hadn't brushed up on our zombie-survival skills, this could have really scared us… meet the world's biggest Zombie walk.
 
Thousands of undead zombies (or people dressed as them) have wandered through Mexico City this weekend in a bid to set a new world record.

Covered with suitable amounts of fake blood and gore nearly 10,000 people are said to have taken part in the event aimed to take peoples minds off economic stress.
 

A new course has launched in the UK which promises to teach zombie apocalypse-fearing folk everything they need to survive an undead uprising.

Zombie Boot Camp -- which runs in Driotwich, Worcestershire and costs £59 -- has been specially created in order to help train and prepare people for the eventuality of a zombie invasion.

The experience day sees would-be zombie battlers take part in training from expert military instructors before being kitted out in helmets, safety goggles and Kevlar body armour.

Then it's on to learning how to fight zombies with weapons including a pistol, grenades a rifle and a chainsaw -- before taking part in a training exercise and tackling a warehouse full of zombies.

Video footage from British Columbia's Okanagan Lake shows what it's claimed could be a Canadian Loch Ness Monster.

Sure it looks like nothing more than a ripple in the water (or three floating logs as some cynics say) but the man behind the camera, Richard Huls, insists it's Ogopogo.

For the uninitiated Ogopogo is Canada's version of Scotland’s infamous Loch Ness Monster and has been 'seen' on more than a thousand occasions since 1860.

However, despite the multitude of sightings, the only proof it exists are a couple of grainy photos and this video… which kind of says it all.

Nikolai Valuev -- the tallest and heaviest ever boxing champion -- has joined hunters on a search for the Siberian yeti.

The seven foot tall and 23 stone beast (the boxer, not the yeti) says he was inspired to join the hunt after hearing about recent sightings.

Reports say local hunters have seen "hairy humanoid creatures" wandering near the Azass Cave in Mount Shoriya.

As such the former boxing champ visited mountains of Kemerovo Region where he joined an expedition looking for Siberian snowmen.

Valuev says he would like to "talk to the yeti about life"… that's assuming the bigfoot isn't too sacred of him.

Just days after Leicester Council admitted they had no plans of how to deal with a zombie attack, hundreds of the undead have been seen staggering around the city.

Okay, as the doubters among you may have guessed, these were not really brain-hungry zombies… but rather 150 people in horror costumes.

The zombie gathering had been arranged after Leicester City Council responded to a recent FOI request asking them what plans they had for an undead uprising.

Because the local authority had been forced to admit they were horribly ill prepared for the zombie apocalypse, a group of "concerned citizen" mobilised themselves via Facebook to highlight the threat.

After smearing themselves in faux blood, the 'zombies' descended on the city where they proceeded to groan and stagger their way around… luckily the council was true to its word and they didn't suddenly produce flame-throwers and shotguns.

Rose Jardine hopes her new job never loses its magic… because she's just been employed as the 'resident dragonologist' a Warwick Castle.

Her duties there will include, watching over any fire-breathing beasts, keeping staff trained in the latest developments in sorcery, and telling visitors all about dragons.

To get the job - advertised online earlier this month - Jardine had to demonstrate "extensive knowledge of dragon myth and legend, with particular reference to dragon summoning and dragon powers and riddles."

And bosses at Warwick Castle are confident they've got the right person, during her interview she's said to have performed a dragon summoning incantation… but luckily stopped before unleashing the beast.

Is this video conclusive proof of a Poltergeist haunting a family in Coventry… or simply someone off-camera moving a chair with a piece of string?

Lisa Manning insists it shows supernatural the goings-on in her home which are making the life of her and her children a misery.

The terrified mother says items are constantly moving around the house including pot and pans falling on the kitchen floor, and that lights are always turning themselves on and off.

She also says she's even had to flee the house via a window on occasion, when doors have tried to lock her in, and she thinks a ghost may have killed her dog.

Now, in a bid to convince her social housing landlords to give her a new house, she's filmed this footage which she claims is proof of a ghost. Do you think anything spooky is going on?

A US man claims to have captured the elusive Bigfoot on video. Unfortunately, he seems to have been using the world most blurry camera.

Thomas Byers - who promptly contacts various news outlets -  claims that he was in North Carolina when he saw the 7-foot-tall, 300-pound Bigfoot right in front of him crossing the road.

He says he quickly stopped his truck and whipped out a video camera and started shooting the video of Bigfoot disappearing into the roadside bushes.

Byers also says the creature turned towards him and "snarled or growled" as it crossed the road and describes the event as "one of the most amazing things I have ever seen".

Unfortunately the internet-going public - who are quick to call "fake" at the best of times - are not overly convinced… and we can't say we blame them.
