Aye-Aye : Amazing creature

It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unusual method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward slanting incisors to create a small hole in which it inserts its nar
The aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus Daubentonia and family Daubentoniidae (although it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN); a second species, Daubentonia robusta, appears to have become extinct at some point within the last 1000 years

only other animal species known to find food in this way is the striped possum. From an ecological point of view the aye-aye fills the niche of a woodpecker, as it is capable of penetrating wood to extract the invertebrates within.[7

The Whaley House – San Diego, California, USA

It is said to be the most haunted place in the United States, the Whaley House was built in 1857 by Thomas Whaley on land that was partially a cemetery.  Nothing gets the ghouls stirring like invading their home.  Ghosts that inhabit the home include a young girl who was accidentally hanged on the property, the ghost of the thief Yankee Jim Robinson who was clubbed to death and can be heard on the stairway where he died, and the younHere  are some other good stories as well.

g red-headed Whaley daughter who is claimed to sometimes appear in such realistic form that visitors think she is a real child.  Author deTraci Regula has had her fare share of experiences there as well: “Over the years, while dining across the street at the Old Town Mexican Cafe, I became accustomed to noticing that the shutters of the second-story windows [of the Whaley House] would sometimes open while we ate dinner, long after the house was closed for the day. On a recent visit, I could feel the energy in several spots in the house, particularly in the courtroom, where I also smelled the faint scent of a cigar, supposedly Whaley’s calling card. In the hallway, I smelled perfume, initially attributing that to the young woman acting as docent, but some later surreptitious sniffing in her direction as I talked to her about the house revealed her to be scent-free.”  Furthermore, famed psychic Sybil Leek claimed to have sensed several spirits there, and world renowned ghost hunger Hanz Holzer considers it one of the true haunted spots in the United States.  Check out the Whaley House website  for stories, history and lots of photos. 

The Borley Rectory – Borley, England

England is widely known as a land haunted by spirits, and the Borley Rectory claims to be the most haunted place in England.  The rectory was built in 1863 next to the Borley Church as a home for Reverend Henry Bull.  After its construction it became the site of intense poltergeist activity such as spontaneous displacement of objects, strange odors, cold spots, the sound of galloping horses and ghostly apparitions.  The rectory was destroyed by fire in 1939 but photos of the ruins still contained odd images and unexplained elements.  Captain W. H. Gregson, one of the last residents there, reported seeing the ghost of a nun wondering the grounds.  People even reported seeing Gregson being accompanied by a lady in a gray cloak and a bald man in a long black jacket.  Perhaps the most disturbing activity occurred around Marianne, the wife of Reverend Lionel Foster, who took residence in the house in 1930.  An entity of some kind tried to communicate with Marianne through scratching messages on walls  and the whole episode was captured on camera.  Also photographed was a floating brick and a floating ribbon-like apparition.  To this day odd images show up in photographs and as recently as 2000 a photo was taken with a mysterious orb floating in the background.
