Jim Bristoe of Indiana discovered there’s more you can do with a pumpkin than carve it into a jack-o-lantern or bake it into a pie. He uses pumpkins as bullets in his 30-foot-long, two-ton gun that can fire them five miles. His pumpkin cannon works on compressed air. In his local Pumpkin Propulsion Contest, it shot a pumpkin through the rear of a 1978 Pontiac. (Click on “Full Story” for a link to see the results).

They think the ghost from a road accident 60 years ago could be haunting a stretch of road near Bromyard in Herefordshire. A farmer says 26 drivers have crashed into his fence in the same place over the last 18 months, and some drivers report the sensation of having their steering wheels pulled from their hands.
