Urban exploring has risen dramatically in popularity over the last several years. People love looking around old abandoned buildings and homes to see what’s hidden behind their walls and Leslie David from Ontario, Canada is one of them.
One day while out looking for places to explore Leslie stumbled upon an old red house with a partially caved in roof and weeds growing over the front entrance. It looked in pretty rough shape and run down, so she naturally assumed it was abandoned. After making her way carefully inside, she was shocked to see that it was not an old vacant home and that someone was actually living there.
Rather than be upset that some strange girl had just walked into his house, the homeowner smiled and welcomed her. He was an older man named Lawrence who had lived there alone for many years. The older he got, the harder it became for him to get around and so he rarely ventured outside. Adding to his isolation was that he was almost blind, his right eye was gone and the left one was filled with vision blurring cataracts.
Leslie and Lawrence ended up talking for hours about his life and current situation. She was taken aback at how sweet and kind he was, and it made her sad to see him so alone. He wasn’t eating very well or taking good care of himself, it was like he had almost given up on life, and so she vowed to help him out. Before she left, she told him she would be back soon to visit and snapped a picture of him in his living room which turned out to be one of her favorite photos
On her next visit Leslie brought dinner and some extra homemade food she’d prepared for the week ahead. Lawrence was grateful for the kind gesture and shared more of his life story with her. He told her that he’d suffered a stroke during the week and couldn’t really move his hands, but after 4 days he did visit the doctor for a check-up.
Leslie was worried about him he was clearly lonely and just needed someone to care and look in on him every now and then. She decided that from there on out, she would be that person and immediately began to make plans on what to do next.
Wishing to free up some space for him in the cramped house, she started picking up and going through all the trash that had accumulated. Since Lawrence had terrible eyesight and limited mobility, getting the random junk out of the way and opening up some extra room made a world of a difference for him. She also figured out what repairs he needed most on the home and vowed to get them done by the time summer was up.
Over the next couple of months she visited him every so often to check in, have dinner or a drink, and talk about life. She accomplished all of the home improvement plans she’d made, and his home no longer looked abandoned anymore. When he told her that the day she showed up was the best day of his life, she couldn’t help but smile and agree because she felt the same, but vice-versa.
Meeting Lawrence gave her the opportunity to actually do something kind and helpful for someone, without expecting anything in return. In the end he was better off, and she felt good about it, so it was a win-win situation for them both.
Months went by and Lawrence’s health slowly deteriorated. He was eventually unable to live on his own and so Leslie helped him find a retirement home where he now lives today. She still makes time to go see him regularly, bringing along his favorite foods and her dog who he adores. She posted this story and shared her experience with the world in the hopes that other people will reach out to someone they haven spoken to in a while, it could make a world of difference.

THIS Is The Strange Reason Why If You Spot a Centipede In Your House You Shouldn’t Ever Step On It
image via – youtube.com
Your home is supposed to be your sanctuary, a place where you can relax, unwind, and kick off your shoes. However, any sense of tranquility is easily shattered if you’ve ever spotted a house centipede crawling around your personal space. If you’re blissfully unaware of what a house centipede looks like, prepare to be enlightened.
The hideous looking creatures have what appear to be like a hundred legs, but according to Wikipedia there are actually only 15 pairs of legs, the key word being pairs! All of these long sets of legs stick out from their inch or longer bodies and to top it all off they have an extra long pair of antennae that makes them look way bigger than they actually are. They are downright ugly and unless you’re a fan of creepy crawlies, then you likely won’t enjoy these things running around your house.
Speaking of running, they are super fast so all of those spindly legs aren’t for nothing! Oftentimes people spot them because they suddenly dart out from whatever dark corner or crack they were hiding in. The sight is jarring and naturally your first instinct is to squash the sucker dead, but killing the bugs is precisely what you should NOT do! As odd as it sounds, once you know the reasons why they should be left alone, you’ll understand that it’s ultimately for the greater good.
First off, house centipedes are like tiny little pest controllers. They hunt out and kill other bugs that are invading your house and their appetites know no boundaries. They will eat spiders, moths, roaches, flies, silverfish, and even termites which can be a very damaging and expensive pest to have around your home. They themselves do not cause any structural damage, if anything the sight of them may take an emotional toll on you, but that’s it. Best of all, they’re a natural alternative to harsh chemical bug deterrents and they cost absolutely nothing.
Next, they are considered harmless to humans. They are more likely to run away from you rather than towards you, plus they’re mainly active at night time so you probably won’t ever even see them. While they do have poisonous venom, which they use to kill all those other bugs, their mouths and jaws are usually not big or strong enough to penetrate our skin.
However, on extremely rare occasions they have succeeded in biting a person and the effect is comparable to that of a bee sting. Minor redness, pain, and swelling may accompany it, but the chances of you getting munched on by one would be like winning the lottery or being killed by a shark; it’s just not going to happen.
Finally, if the thought of centipedes crawling through your home is too much for you to bear, simply take preventative measures to keep them out. Seal any cracks or places where they could possibly get in and keep all areas, especially basements and garages, damp-free and as dry as possible. You can leave sticky tape traps to catch them or call a professional pest controller in, but they really shouldn’t be a major issue unless you have an infestation or a severe phobia of bugs with a million legs!

A Huge Storm Took Down THIS Giant Tree. Then Scientists Uncover an UNTHINKABLE Surprise Under It!
image via – youtube.com
There are quite a few famous trees located throughout the world. Some are known for their size, like General Sherman, the world’s largest tree located in California’s Sequoia National Park, while others are famous from folklore, like The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, England where Robin Hood is rumored to have slept.
In Northern Ireland, the most well-known trees are a group of Beech trees called the Dark Hedges. They line both sides of a rural road with their branches intertwined above it to form a dramatic, picturesque tunnel that has become famous from being featured in movies and shows. Most recently, they were the backdrop for the King’s Road in HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, lending a dark, eerily beautiful atmosphere for several scenes.
Whereas the Dark Hedges are the most known group of Beech trees, a lone one located in Collooney, a small town on the northwest coast of Ireland, gained worldwide attention after it was knocked over in a storm. Back in 2015 severe storms whipped the island and proved too much for the huge tree which toppled over and lay with its root system exposed. Months later someone took a closer look at it and noticed something shocking tangled up in all the dirt and roots.
What they found appeared to be a human skeleton and so archeologists from the Sligo-Leitrim Archaeological Services (SLAS) were called in to examine it. They determined that it was indeed a human and the skeleton had been split in half when the tree was uprooted.
The lower body was found still in the ground, while the skull, arm, and torso were caught up in the tree roots. After carefully removing the bones and looking them over it was determined that they were from a male between the ages of 17 and 20 years old, and so now the question was when did he die?
To figure that out carbon dating was used and when scientists got the results they were stunned. It turned out that the bones dated back over 1,000 years ago to sometime between 1030-1200 CE! Further analysis revealed the man was approximately 5’10”, quite tall for that time period.
He also likely had a very physical job since his bone joints showed major signs of wear. However, the most shocking finding of all was that the man had not died of natural causes, instead he was probably murdered.
Slash marks on his ribs and hands that appeared to be caused by a knife indicated that he’d been mortally wounded while trying to escape his killer. Since he lived in medieval Europe, it was presumed he either died in combat or after getting into a skirmish with someone off the battlefield. Based on how the man was placed in the grave, in an east-west position with his hands folded over his front, it appeared that he was given a proper Christian burial as was done in those times.
Even though the Beech tree had been planted right above the man’s final resting place, whoever put it there had no idea of his presence. The tree itself had been planted in the early 1800s and years later its roots eventually reached the skeleton.
Records indicate that the area used to once have a church and cemetery around the time the man lived, so there may be more graves beside his near the site. After being studied, the bones were sent to the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin where they remain to this day.

Lady Is Stunned After She Swings Open Her Door and Sees Her 5-Year-Old Neighbor As He Clutches His Baby Sister In Fear!
image via – youtube.com
When most people hear a knock at their door at night, and they’re not expecting anyone, they ignore it and hope whoever it is goes away. Many don’t even bother opening the door for obvious reasons, it can be very dangerous and lead to terrible things.
When Jessica Penoyer heard a knock on her door after dark, she initially thought to ignore it, but something told her to check and see who it was. When she looked out the window, she saw her 5 year old neighbor Salvador Cicalese, who everyone calls Sal, clutching his 2 month old sister in his arms. It was late and she was surprised to see the children out by themselves, so she immediately opened the door to see what the matter was.
At first Jessica thought she heard Sal tell her that his dog died, but when she repeated what she’d initially heard back to him he said “no, my mom died in the shower, can you take care of us?” Shocked, Jessica called 911 and ran over to the neighbor’s house to check on Sal’s mother, Kaitlyn Cicalese. She found her in the bathtub unconscious with the water still running. The tub had been filling up and if Jessica hadn’t arrived when she did, Kaitlyn could have drowned.
It turned out that Kaitlyn had suffered a seizure in the shower after she had put her children to sleep. All she remembers is turning the water on and then waking up in the hospital, it’s the second time she has had a seizure since she gave birth to her infant daughter. When she fell, Sal had been in his room when he heard the loud thud and went to see what happened. That’s when he found his mother lying in the tub unconscious with blood coming from a wound in her head.
Thinking she was dead, Sal tried his best to stay calm and get help. He went and got his 2 month old sister and wrapped her snugly in a blanket before placing her on the couch. He couldn’t get the front door unlocked so he headed to the garage. Since he was too short to reach the garage door opener, he had to use a stool and on his first attempt he fell over. Thankfully he landed on a pile of shoes so he didn’t get hurt, and on his second try the door opened. He went back and got his little sister then headed over to Jessica’s house, and the rest is history.
After hearing what he did, Sal’s mother believes that he saved her life that day. She could have drowned or bled out from her head wound if he hadn’t gotten help right away. In the end, Sal was awarded for his heroism by the local San Tan Valley, Arizona fire department. They gave him an honorary certificate, patch, shirt and helmet in recognition for what he did. He also got a nickname from the firefighters, “Super Sal” which is more than fitting.

THIS Father and His Kid Noticed ‘Help’ Written In The Mud. Then They Hear a Voice and Discover The Unthinkable!
image via – youtube.com
Father and son trips can be the perfect time for some special bonding. Whether its a camping, hunting or fishing trip these are usually vacations that a dad and son will never forget. I remember going on fishing and camping trips with my dad when I was a young kid and they are truly some of the greatest memories of my life. While for the most part these trips can be stress-free, enjoyable and an incredible bonding time, sometimes the unexpected can quickly snowball and change everything..
In today’s story we feature a stepfather and his stepson who were going on a regular old hunting trip to enjoy nature in all her glory. They were expecting to build campfires, hunt, fish and all the other fun stuff that comes with an outdoors father/son trip. Their trip took place in Hayden, Idaho a city with a population of around 13,000. Although there is a decent sized population, the stunning landscapes and beauty of the surrounding nature pulls in travelers from all around the world.
The stepfather and stepson would go out to their cabin in the woods multiple times per year and it was always a great time. This time however, nothing could’ve prepared them for what was to come. Immediately when they arrived in Hayden something just felt a bit strange.
As they arrived in Hayden, they noticed an active search party looking for a girl who had gone missing earlier that week. The missing girl was learning disabled and although she was 19 year old, she had the cognitive capacity of a 9-10 year old. This was no small search party either, there were around 60 people searching. There were helicopters, terrain specialists, firemen, police officers and locals all scouring the region.
Before the stepdad and stepson arrived in Hayden they had already heard about the missing girl on tv and the radio. They believed that once they got there they could be of great assistance to the current search party do to knowing the entire wooded area like the back of their hands. As they made there way to their cabin, they would have to walk a bit down a dirt road to get to the secluded house. While they were walking on the dirt road they saw something they never could’ve believed. On the dirt path in big letters it said ‘Help’.
This seemed super creepy to the young boy but his stepdad thought it was most likely a hunter or someone from the search party just laying some tracks. He thought most likely it was another hunter who probably needed help moving a deer or something of that nature. However, the stepson had a gut feeling that this message had been written by the missing girl!
They took a picture of the ‘Help’ written in the dirt and ran it over to the search party that was about to pack it in for the day, call it a night and begin looking again early the next day. When they showed the search party the image they immediately called off the plan to end the search that night and they would follow that path to try and find the poor missing girl…..

Pitbull Was Pregnant But Refused To Birth Her Litter! The Vet Was Stunned When He Saw THIS On Her Ultrasound!
image via – youtube.com
Rescuing and fostering animals isn’t easy, but for one couple it’s truly a labor of love. Over the years Chris and Mariesa have opened their hearts and home to many dogs in need. They believe that their shared passion has only made them grow closer together and since there’s always animals who need rescuing, they take in new dogs whenever they can.
The couple had seen that a pregnant pit bull named Storie was up for adoption at a local animal shelter and they immediately knew that they had to rescue her. Shelters are incredibly stressful environments for animals with all the strange smells, noises, people and other animals around. For a pregnant dog the stress is amplified and that can mean bad news for both mom and her puppies. Chris and Mariesa knew they had to take Storie in and they headed straight to the shelter to pick her up.
When they got their they talked to shelter employees who told them that Storie should have given birth already and that perhaps she hadn’t because she was stressed. The couple brought the heavily pregnant dog straight to the vet to have her checked and that’s when they discovered something shocking. An ultrasound revealed that Storie was carrying 12 puppies!
They were amazed and then the realization set in that they’d have to care for all the newborns and mother, so they got right down to business. They set up a cozy place for Storie to give birth out of a kiddie pool filled with blankets in a kennel outside their house and the heavily pregnant dog settled right in.
Thinking that they still had a couple of days to go before their new dog went into labor, the couple were shocked when just 12 hours after she went home with them, she gave birth to her first puppy. Storie had gone into labor because she finally felt safe and comfortable enough! Incredibly, all 12 puppies were born healthy soon afterwards and within 18 hours of being in their new home.
Chris and Mariesa were overjoyed that they’d been able to help Storie but now they had 13 new dogs to care for on top of the other ones they already had. It wasn’t before long that the puppies became a handful, they loved to play, run around the house, and fight with each other. Each one had its own personality and quirks which made it easy to tell them apart and name them. Even though they loved all they puppies, they knew that everyone would be better off in new homes.
Thankfully, Pibbles and More Animal Rescue helped them find forever homes for all twelve puppies. People had heard about Storie and her babies and interest was high, the rescue group received numerous adoption applications. Even Storie ended up getting a new forever home with Chris and Mariesa’s friend who offered to take her in.
It ended up working out for the best because the couple still get to visit and see her all the time, while being able to help other dogs since the space is freed up. It’s amazing what a little love and understanding can do, and for one pit bull and her 12 puppies, it made all the difference in the world.
