When you think of surfing, you usually think of surfers riding ocean waves breaking on the shore. However yesterday, the hot surf spot was the River Severn in the UK. The surfers lined up to catch the Severn Bore, a large wave caused by rising tides funneled into the river from the Severn estuary (which has the second largest tidal range in the world). According to the British surfing association, surfers have been riding the Bore since the 60’s trying to see who can take the longest ride. In 2006 a British surfer named Steve King set the world record for the longest surf ride when he rode the Severn Bore for 7.6 miles (besting the previous world record of 6.3 miles set on a river in Brazil). Surfers who came out yesterday were treated to a “once-in-a-decade” five star rated tidal event.

When a New York man discovered food missing from his apartment, he initially thought it was his girlfriend. When she denied any involvement in the matter, he put out a hidden camera to get to the bottom of the mystery. When he reviewed the tape, he made a shocking discovery. Apparently at some point a woman broke into his home, discovered a crawlspace above his kitchen and decided to move in. Aside from stealing food, the uninvited guest was also apparently using the kitchen sink as a urinal! When the police came and arrested the woman, they estimated she had been living in the apartment for at least a couple of weeks (possibly even longer).

In spite of all the weird and unsettling subject matter that we discuss here on Meets The Weird, I have to say this video is quite possibly the second most creepy thing I have ever seen or experienced.
