Samurai Ghost Photo Surfaces, Freaks Everyone Out

When is the picture of a four-year old girl standing on the edge of a hillside not just  a picture of a four-year old girl standing on the edge of a hillside? When folks wonder whether the boots of a samurai ghost are standing directly behind her! This is what’s happened ever since a Reddit user uploaded the following photo. It features a young girl standing near a beach that’s across from a samurai graveyard. And if you look behind her legs, you’ll see what appears to be a pair of boots and part of a shirt peeking out from… somewhere. “My daughter thinks the whole thing is just so funny,” Martin Springall, who snapped the image, tells ABC News. “She thinks it’s a ghost, but not a scary ghost – a nice one.” The photo was taken last July in Zushi, Japan. Springall shared the shot with a friend, who uploaded it to the “Ghosts” subreddit. “Some thought it could be the ghost of a World War II sailor,” he says, not offering up any of his own theories, but making it clear no actual person was there: “My daughter is really shy, and she wouldn’t have taken a picture if there was someone standing behind her, which I would have definitely noticed.”

Lois Lilienstein Dies: Star of Sharon, Lois and Bram’s Elephant Show Was 78

Canadian children’s performer Lois Lilienstein has passed away at the age of 78. Lilienstein was best known for her role on the long-running television series Sharon, Lois and Bram’s The Elephant Show. Her son, David Lilienstein, informed a Canadian news outlet that she passed away quietly in her home on Wednesday night. “She was just a normal everyday person that had a phenomenal sense of music inside her,” said David.  When asked how fans should commemorate her life and career, he referenced her most famous song, saying, “Turn to your family and friends and sing “Skinnamrinky Dinky Dink.” Along with Sharon Hampson and Bramwell “Bram” Morrison, Lilienstein formed the entertainment trio Sharon, Lois and Bram in Toronto in 1978. Their first album of folk-inspired children’s songs became an instant success, and they began touring the US and Canada that same year. In 1984, the group launched the the CBC variety show that would take them to a new level of fame. The series was eventually syndicated and picked up by American outlets such as Nickelodeon. Lilienstein continued to perform and tour with the trio until she decided to retire in 2000, following the death of her husband. But while she hasn’t performed in over 15 years, news of Lilienstein’s death quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, evidence of the millions who grew up, and still fondly remember, her unforgettable music.
