Whether they depict ghosts, aliens, monsters or even time travellers, some argue that they are incontrovertible proof of all things otherworldly, whereas others view them as the result of tricks of the light, elaborate hoaxes, double exposures or even plain and simple photoshop.

The strength of these images is that they capture the imagination and make you wantto believe that what they show is real.

So, are there really more things in heaven and Earth than dreamt in our philosophy? Are we being hoodwinked by those in pursuit of fame and a quick buck? Or are we clutching at straws in the hope that extraordinary and unexplainable things really can happen?

Avast ye hearties, a tidal wave of awesomeness is coming from China where the newly installed Pirates Of The Caribbean at Shanghai Disneyland is about to set sail and the early word is that its incredible. Everything from what we've seen of the ride footage looks like it's an awesome thrill-ride into the world of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Titled Pirates Of The Caribbean: Battle For The Sunken Treasure, the new ride begins very much like the other Pirate attractions in that there's many scenes with dead pirates sat in treasure rooms. The famous jail scene shows that the pirates have waited too long for the dog to bring them the keys to release them from their cell.

Captain America; Civil War is getting closer and closer to breaking the all-important $1bn barrier at the worldwide box-office, after another strong weekend that saw it take $158m.

It also makes it the sixth biggest superhero film of all-time, behind both Avengers movies, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and Iron Man 3.

It shouldn't really come as much surprise to be fair, as if any film of 2016 seemed guaranteed to break a billion it was Civil War, with the presence of a number of Avengers in it, and very strong reviews leading i

You know, that exasperating feeling when you turn on an old flashlight, only to discover it's foggy bulb can barely light the way to the bathroom, let alone down a dark hallway or country road in an emergency.

The truth is, most people underestimate the importance of owning a great flashlight for their home, car or boat.

Ask any fireman, police officer, military man, survivalist or hunter and they'll tell you how critical it is for them to have a flashlight at their disposal at all times. And for them, not just any flashlight will do. Those clunky plastic halogen flashlights that require C or D batteries are practically worthless -- they're just too heavy, too dim, and too easily broken.

Thankfully, recent advancements in lighting technology have taken flashlights to the next level. Compact LEDs have led to smaller flashlights that put out more light while using a fraction of the energy their old-fashioned counterparts use. But before you run out to Home Depot to buy any old LED flashlight, you need to know about a new tactical flashlight called the G700, which uses recently released military technology now available to the public.
