Wow.
"There are places where no one dares to go, not even scientists with protective gear. One such place is the Red Wood forest and another is the Ghost Town Cemetary. The relatives of the people who are buried there can not visit, because in addition to people, much of the radioctive graphite nuclear core is buried there. It is one of the most toxic places on earth."
If zombies would ever come about from radiation, this is where it would start.
Saw this on www.coasttocoastam.com two weeks ago.
Creepy stuff huh? I particurally found the abandoned fire engines disturbing.
Damn, that was pretty haunting. I don't want to imagine what it'd be like to actually go through that place.

I was really freaked out by that picture, until I realized it was two spiders, and not one.
I thought it was some 16 legged mutant.
It's a mutant allright.
"They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long.
If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you."
Uh....
No, its a spider from Iraq.Quote:

Camel Spiders - I had those things on my mind everyday during my trip to the Middle East. I would run like a little girl.
They can jump 6ft vertically also. They get their name from that fact that they eat camels. They run under the camel, jump, turn upside-down in midair, and attach themselves to the camels' underside.Quote:
