Haunting Photos With Ghostly Presences
On the spooky r/ParanormalEncounters subreddit, people are constantly sharing unexplainable photos that appear to catch some kind of paranormal activity. Even if you're a non-believer like me, it's a blast to check out some scary images that feel like the inciting incident of a horror story. Here are some of the creepiest finds that will have you questioning if the paranormal is real:
"A 2009 photo from the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, MO. Zoom in on the bathroom floor tiles."
Do you see it? Pet ghost? Or a mere trick of the shadows.
"My family member went on a hike, but someone (or something) showed up in her photo."
Did you see it? Is this the ghost? Or perhaps a stranger with a creepy photobomb?
"This photo was taken in 2013, I'm still dumbfounded by it."
"What are your thoughts?"
"Photo taken on the main graveyard (Zentralfriedhof) in Vienna."
What do you think? A floating torso or an optical illusion?
"Photo taken in 2019 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee."
Is that the face of an apparition behind this couple enjoying dinner? Or is this a camera malfunction? Because...what...the hell...is that?
"Ghost or a lens flare?"
"My dad is pretty sure it's a lens flare, but it does look very uncanny. I have shown these pictures to multiple people, and they all think it's a ghost."
"Picture from a hospital CCTV camera shows what appears to be a demon on top of a dying patient."
The scariest part is the photo quality, but whatever that is, it looks like something straight out of a horror movie.
"My friend has recently shown me this picture from 2016 of him and his brother at the front of Blackpool beach at 7 a.m. Photo taken by mother, when they looked at the photo, they saw the figure between the legs and looked around, and nobody was there."
Did you see it? Now you can't unsee it.
"Little girl"
Be sure to wave back at this little ghost if you ever see her.
"Something was peeking at me."
I think someone is keeping an eye...and that someone is on the ceiling.
"Can anyone explain this?"
My man...there's something else in your room.
"Night shift at target."
This brightened image shows that someone, or something, is lurking in Target.
"There was something in my woods last night."
Headlights? Glowing eyes? Something else??? You be the judge.
"My aunt's china cabinet."
Just a trick of the camera, or a reflection from beyond?
"Weird figure captured in the middle of the woods."
Someone — or something — lurking.

Business Insider recommended nonexistent books to staff as it leans into AI
Business Insider announced this week that it wants staff to better incorporate AI into its journalism. But less than a year ago, the company had to quietly apologize to some staff for accidentally recommending that they read books that did not appear to exist but instead may have been generated by AI. In an email to staff last May, a senior editor at Business Insider sent around a list of what she called 'Beacon Books,' a list of memoirs and other acclaimed business nonfiction books, with the idea of ensuring staff understood some of the fundamental figures and writing powering good business journalism. Many of the recommendations were well-known recent business, media, and tech nonfiction titles such as by Andrew Ross Sorkin, by James Stewart, and by Mike Isaac. But a few were unfamiliar to staff. by former Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel was nowhere to be found. Neither was , which was supposedly published by the company Charles River Editors in 2019. Semafor could not find any evidence that either book exists. The list also recommended a book called , supposedly written by an author named Jasper Robin. While a Goodreads page exists for the book, which claims it is only 61 pages long, the page has no reviews or other information. It is not available for purchase on Amazon or from any other retailers. Another recommendation was by Fredric Morgan, though no such book exists. The company likely meant to recommend by Ron Chernow. by Andrew MacCarthy was on the list of suggested reads, though no such book exists. (BI could have been meaning to recommend by Scott Perry, a how-to guide for how to use the photo messaging platform.) The company also recommended by someone named Celeste Olivier, published in 2008. The real version was written by Larry Gerston in 2003. A Business Insider spokesperson declined to embarrassing incident was shared with Semafor last week after the company said it was doubling down on AI amid steep staff reductions. In a note on Thursday, CEO Barbara Peng said that the company had launched multiple AI-driven products including gen-AI onsite search and an AI-powered paywall, and would soon be rolling out additional products. She also noted that 70% of staff were already using enterprise ChatGPT, and the company was building 'prompt libraries and sharing everyday use cases that help us work faster, smarter, and better.' 'The media industry is at a crossroads,' Peng wrote. 'Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever. At the same time, there's a huge opportunity for companies who harness AI first. Our strategy is strong, but we don't have the luxury of time. The pace of change combined with the opportunity ahead demands bold, focused action — and it's our chance to lead the pack.' Some employees have been wary of the incorporation of AI into everyday work tasks, believing that the company will eventually replace journalists with AI. In a statement after the move, Business Insider's union expressed frustration with the cuts and the simultaneous embrace of AI. 'Tone deaf doesn't even begin to describe this,' the union wrote.

DEI rollbacks prompt people powered Pride month in the Twin Cities
Pride month kicked off with a literal running start Sunday: a 5K Run/Walk from Utepils Brewing in Minneapolis. Twin Cities In Motion Ambassadors put on the event that donates a portion of profits to Twin Cities Pride's year-round programming. Amy Lippert Hoffman, from Blaine, is one of the hundred or so who took part. It's a show of support for her LGBTQ friends, she said. "I am out here support them, just letting them know they are loved and they are important to celebrate," said Lippert Hoffman. The recent political climate under President Trump's administration, cracking down on things like transgender rights, has left a dark cloud of fear for many in the community, Lippert Hoffman said. "I wake up everyday and I'm just so worried about my friends, and I see how much they are worried," she said. "They're scared and that makes me scared too." Trump's executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the country saw a concurrent rollback of DEI initiatives from Target. Twin Cities Pride struck back, parting ways with the longtime sponsor. To fill the gap, Twin Cities Pride raised double the $50,000 that Target would have provided, all accomplished within a week. "We really increased our individual donations at the start of the year and I feel like people have been very motivated to really change, not only their shopping patterns, but their giving patterns, which has been really amazing to see," said Kelsey Alto, director of programming for Twin Cities Pride. New community partners and local small businesses have come forward following the loss of sponsors, Alto said. "All of the co-ops in the Twin Cities banded together to raise money for us," said Alto. A new, people powered pride, that Alto said stands strong in the face of adversity. "I think now more than ever that not only our community, but our small businesses in the Twin Cities are standing up and showing up for the pride community and for pride month," said Alto.

Check your Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order ASAP, as some retailers are reportedly cancelling them
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Some US retailers have reportedly cancelled Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders This allegedly includes Walmart, Target, and GameStop Consider double checking the status of your pre-order if you have placed one If you managed to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order recently, then you might want to check your email inbox as it seems as though some retailers have started cancelling them. As reported by Vice, would-be Nintendo Switch 2 owners have been flooding the r/switch subreddit to complain that their pre-orders of the upcoming Nintendo console have been inexplicably cancelled. The majority of those reporting cancellations seem to have shopped at Walmart. "We're sorry, we had to cancel these items," reads a message in the Walmart app on one posted screenshot. In these instances there seems to be no real explanation as to why the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order was cancelled, though I suspect that it may be due to stock issues. Some retailers likely banked on having access to much more stock than they do, leading to the need to cancel certain pre-orders. In the comments to these posts, others are reporting cancellations from Target and GameStop. Bear in mind that these cancellations are currently unverified, though it definitely wouldn't hurt to double check your order just in case. If you're unlucky enough to be affected, visit our how to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 guide for recommendations on how to get your hands on one.
