Bleeding Walls are generally something you'd only expect to see in a horror movie but for residents of one apartment building in Leicester, England it is happening in real life. This isn’t another Amityville Horror, however, the actual cause is just as unsettling. Cannibal rats.
It seems that the building is infested with rats. They have made a home in the attic and walls of the building. And while unhygienic as the infestation is on its own, they also seem to have a nasty habit of eating their young. The blood from the cannibalized vermin seeps through the holes they have chewed and oozes out.
The tenants are looking to be relocated, but a Leicester City Council spokesman said: “We are continuing investigations to establish the cause of the problem.’’

We've told you about a few 'ghost ships' in the recent past here on Fearnet, including the battle-damaged S.S. America and the former Soviet Union passenger liner known as Lyubov Orlova, which is currently swarming with cannibal rats. Yes. Cannibal rats. Be sure to read that story, if you haven't yet!
As reported by Viral Forest, a group of kayakers recently came upon a ghost ship of their own, while making their way through a tributary just off the Ohio River. Rusted, weathered and with plant life growing up through its base, the ship turned out to be a 110-year-old former vessel called the Circle Line, which took New York City tourists on sightseeing tours. But the fascinating history of the ship doesn't stop there...
The very same boat was repurposed and used in battle in both World Wars, and Thomas Edison once used it to conduct scientific experiments in communications technology.

The ghost ship that went viral this week – due to expert theories that suggested it was carrying cannibalistic rats and drifting towards the U.K. – has likely sunk.
Ghost Ship Likely Sunk
Built in 1976 in Yugoslavia, the Lyubov Orlova drifted out to sea sometime last year during a debt scandal involving the current owners, who had neglected to pay their crew, reported NBC News. At the time, it had been moored at a harbor in Canada before a storm set it loose.
The abandoned Lyubov Orlova had been home to hundreds of rats, many of whom would likely still be alive onboard the vessel. According to experts, without any other source of nutrients, the rats would have cannibalized, eating their own.
Lyubov Orlova Headed To The U.K.?
The cruise liner received global attention after it was speculated that it was nearing the U.K. No recent reports suggested that...

Four decades ago, the Lyubov Orlova was a busy passenger liner in the former Soviet Union, but since 2012 it's been drifting free in the Atlantic, totally abandoned... that is, except for packs of diseased rats which feed on each other to survive. Photo: Lilpop, Rau & Loewenstein/Wikimedia Commons According to the UK's Daily Record, the 300-foot ship went adrift off the coast of Canada after a towing mishap, and soon disappeared. But according to a possible sighting of the vessel late last year, it may now be on a slow but steady course toward England, Ireland or Scotland. The sighting came in the form of an unidentified satellite blip in that region, but so far authorities have not been able to pinpoint the ship's exact location. As for those rats... search and salvage crews say it's common for the rodents to turn to cannibalism when trapped aboard a ship for...

We're used to spy films in which the communists are the bad guys – but the eastern bloc had its own secret agent screen heroes, too
A secret agent is attending a party in an elegant apartment. Beautiful young people wear the latest fashions, sip martinis and canoodle in corners. The spy slips into a back room and starts breaking into a safe. It looks like a scene from a James Bond movie – except this is communist Hungary, and the heroes are what western policy makers in the cold war would have called "them", rather than "us". The film is Fotó Háber, an ultra-stylish spy drama made in Budapest in 1963, and, like many of the films emerging from behind what was the iron curtain, it blows apart the glum, grey image of the eastern bloc from the inside.
That we have the chance to see Fotó Háber is thanks to a...
