First we got Spiderman, then the Simpson’s brought us Spiderpig, but now the University of Wyoming brings us a real-life Spidergoat.

Prof Lewis, who heads a team of scientists at the University of Wyoming have claimed to have successfully implanted the silk making genes of a spider into a herd of goats.

This allows spider silk to be ‘milked’ from the modified goats. After the milk is collected, it’s taken back to a laboratory where the silk protein is filtered out. It solidifies when exposed to air and is wound onto a roller.

“We needed a way to produce large quantities of the spider silk proteins,” News.com.au quoted Lewis, as saying.

Apparently this silk can then be used to replace body’s strained tendons, ligaments and bones in the future.

According to Prof Lewis, one of the first uses will be to make fishing line.

So it seems that we could one day soon, have a real ‘Spiderman’.

If you believe in ghosts, haunted house and having the cr@p scared out of you, then make a bid on England’s most haunted house which is now up for sale.

Reports of child ghosts that whisper to you, strange appartitions that appear and just as quickly vanish, poltergeists that move things around are just some of the weird activities that goes on at Wymering Manor in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth City Council has put Wymering Manor up for auction and they are hoping to get as much as $600,000 for it, due to ‘the novelty factor’.

The building belonged to King Edward the Confessor in 1042, and to King William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 until 1084. It is also listed in the 1086 Domesday Book.

Sightings of a man hanging from a tree in the yard, a woman dressed in a violet dress that stands at the end of a bed, a man known as Reckless Roddy who was killed in the lane, and the ghost of a nun with her hands dripping blood, have all been reported at the manor.

So if you have the money, go for it! Don’t forget to send me a invite to visit

What, if anything, is lurking in the depths of England’s Lake Windemere?

Over the past 4 years there have been 7 sightings of a mysterious creature which witnesses claim is a long, humpbacked animal. Now a team is searching the lake for evidence that it really exists.

The ‘monster’, named Bow-Nessie in a tribute to the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, lurks in a lake that is about 11 miles in length and 220 feet deep in places.

The team’s sonar has not detected anything strange so far, but the team did report seeing a strange 20 foot disturbance in the water.

Hunt organiser, psychic Dean Maynard, said:

‘We’ve had more creature sightings here than at Loch Ness in recent years so we think it’s time that Bow-Nessie received more attention.’

Back in 2009, Maynard previously searched for evidence of the creature. On the morning of the search John McKeown of Lakes TV went off to get some shots of the lake for a documentary he was filming about Dean’s investigation, what he went onto to film was probably the best video evidence ever caught of ‘Bownessie’ on Windermere lake…

On his website, Maynard claims:

“Dean ‘Midas’ Maynard is one of the country’s top Celebrity & Sports Prediction Experts, who uses his psychic ability to forecast and support a range of participants in celebrity and sporting careers. Nicknamed ‘Midas’ by the press due to his many successful predictions, Dean has received widespread acclaim in the UK and USA, in the media and online.”

Could this be real, imagined or just a publicity stunt?
