Raynham Hall is one of the most famous haunted places in the world due largely in part to its most famous ghost, the Brown Lady, who was captured on film in 1936 in what is said to be one of the most authentic ghost photos every taken. The Unexplained Site describes one of the first encounters with the spirit: “The first known sighting happened during the 1835 Christmas season. Colonel Loftus, who happened to be visiting for the holidays, was walking to his room late one night when he saw a strange figure ahead of him. As he tried to gain a better look, the figure promptly disappeared. The next week, the Colonel again came upon the woman. He described her as a noble woman who wore a brown satin dress. Her face seemed to glow, which highlighted her empty eye sockets.” The photo has been examined multiple times by experts who all confirm it is authentic and untouched. The Brown Lady is said to have been confined in a room by her husband, unable to see her children. She soon perished in the room and has continued to haunt Raynham Hall clad in her brown dress.Wednesday, 21 August 2013

The Pacu Fish
Pacu (Portuguese pronunciation: [paˈku]) is a common name used to
refer to several common species of omnivorous South American freshwater
fish that are related to the piranha. Pacu and piranha don't have
similar teeth, although the main difference is jaw alignment; piranha
have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas pacu
have squarer, straighter teeth, like a human, and a less severe
underbite, or a slight overbite.[1] Additionally, full-grown pacu are
much larger than piranha, reaching up to 0.9 m (3 feet) and 25 kg (55
pounds) in the wild.Pacu is a term of Brazilian Indian origin. When the large fish of the Colossoma genus entered the aquarium trade in the U.S. and other countries, they were erroneously labeled pacu. In the Amazon, the term pacu is reserved to smaller and medium sized fish in the Metynnis, Mylossoma and Myleus genera. The Colossoma macropomum fish are known as tambaqui, whereas Piaractus brachypomus is known as pirapitinga.
These fish are rumoured to bite human testicles, earning it the nickname "ball-cutter"
