Most HAUNTED place in U.K ? Man claims caught GHOST on camera at haunted Loftus Hall

Thomas Beavis, 21, from Lewisham, made the spine-tingling discovery as he flicked through his camera on the drive home from Loftus Hall in Wexford.

He took the snaps for his mother while on a tour with his friends � but captured what could be the spirit of little Anne Tottenham and the spooky face of an old lady in a window next to the front door.

He told : �I only really looked at the photo while we were driving home � I was actually stunned.

�We were all feeling a little edgy from the tour but when I showed the photo to my friends we freaked!

�I zoomed in on all the windows to find this girl in the window. I had to take some time before I showed it to everyone just because I didn�t really understand what I was looking at.�

Stories suggest that the Tottenham family moved into the mansion around 1766.

But the youngest, Anne, fell ill after an encounter with a demonic spirit.

She was shunned by her family and locked away in a room in the huge estate until she died.

At first glance the holidaymaker thought it was someone�s reflection, but on closer inspection he noticed that the suspected ghost is looking the opposite way to those outside the house.

Mr Beavis added: �I got chills, and still do. The girl could be the spirit of Anne Tottenham still walking around Loftus Hall. It could have been some strange occurrence because of a supernatural power, but I don�t know.

�Normally I am a guy that believes in what he sees, but with this, I still don�t understand what�s going on in that photo.�

One of Best Painting Illusions: Venezuelan artist Gustavo Silva Nu�ez's Lifelike paintings of SWIMMERS

An artist has brought his paintings of swimmers to life by posing with them playfully, giving the illusion that he is about to dive into the water.

Gustavo Silva Nu�ez, an artist based in Valencia, Venezuela, creates incredibly lifelike paintings of people swimming in water, his use of light and reflections making them appear three-dimensional.

To add to the realism, he poses next to the paintings in strikingly interactive ways, making it look as though he is grabbing onto the swimmers' limbs or shielding himself from their splashes.

In one of the shots, Mr Nu�ez is pictured crouching on the floor next to one of his paintings, staring into the water as though he is about to jump in.

At first glance, it looks like a picture of a woman coming up for air in a small indoor pool.

Another photo sees the artist painting tattoos onto the arm of a man he is painting. He pretends to hold onto the man's other arm, so that the line between art and reality becomes ever more blurred.

In the images, Mr Nu�ez, who has more than 62,000 followers on Instagram, looks as though he is right there with his subjects.

In another shot, for instance, he stands before a painting of two women swimming on their backs.

Mr Nu�ez looks like he is somehow hovering over the women in the water as he adds the finishing touches with his paintbrush.

What's more, in most of the photos he poses without a shirt on, adding to the effect that he is ready for a swim.

Fans have taken to Mr Nu�ez's Facebook page to express their awe at his mind-bending works.

'Too much, incredible!' commented one person on a photo of his paintings. 'Amazing!' wrote another fan. Even more followers called his works 'mindblowing'.

The multi-talented artist also creates silk-screen T-shirts and plays the drums in an indie-punk band called Punky Brewsters.

Shooting range Instructor Shot in Head & KILLED after 9 y.o girl losing control of UZI Submachine Gun

These images show the seconds before a nine-year girl accidentally shot her gun instructor dead on Monday.

Recorded at the Bullets and Burgers shooting range in White Hills, Arizona, the edited 22-second clip plays up to the point where the girl loses control of an Uzi, striking 39-year-old Charles Vacca.

The shocking recording taken by the girl's parents and released by police shows Vacca standing closely next to the girl when the gun recoiled as she fired on full automatic mode.

As the clip unfolds, Vacca is seen to instruct the girl to hold the weapon with two hands at all times and to take a perpendicular stance to the target.

Then Vacca asks her to fire one shot for him, which she does.

Then, Vacca tells the girl to adjust her stance and squeeze the trigger to let off a volley, but something goes wrong when she fires a second time.

His last words to the girl are: 'Alright, full auto.'

The girl loses her two-handed grip on the weapon and it pulls to her left, striking Vacca in the head.

Charles Vacca, a father and veteran from Lake Havasu City, Arizona, was airlifted to hospital on Monday morning after the little girl shot him but died that evening.

Mohave County Sheriff Jim McCabe said the full video of the incident was 'ghastly'.

He said that the girl had successfully fired the weapon several times before when it was set on 'single shot' mode.

However, the horrific accident unfolded in a split second when the Israeli made weapon was set to 'full-automatic mode' and caused Vacca his fatal injuries.

'The guy just dropped,' McCabe said of Vacca, who suffered more than one gunshot to the head.

McCabe told the Las Vegas Review Journal that no charges will be filed because Bullets and Burgers is licensed and legal as an operation.

'It's so easy for us to go back and look at something that's very tragic and say, 'Boy! Why did that occur? That should not have happened because of,'' said McCabe to Fox News.

'Well, maybe from now on, that 'because of' will be in place.'

A spokeswoman with Mohave County Sheriff�s Office said they were shocked by the shooting.

'This is a rarity for something like this to happen,' the spokeswoman said to the LA Times.

Vacca was airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he died of his injuries around 9pm on Monday. An autopsy will now be carried out.

The nine-year-old girl, who has not been identified, was not injured. She was with her parents as they passed through the area on vacation from New Jersey.

The range operator at Bullets and Burgers told KLAS-TV he was shocked by the incident.

'We really don't know what happened. Our guys are trained to basically hover over people when they're shooting. If they're shooting right-handed, we have our right-hand behind them ready to push the weapon out of the way. And if they're left-handed, the same thing,' operator Sam Scarmardo said.

Social media was incredulous about the tragic accident, with most people posting comments as to why a nine-year-old was allowed to fire an automatic weapon.

Liz Matthews of the John Clayton Show on 710 ESPN in Seattle said, 'A story involving a nine-year-old shooting an UZI at a place called Burgers and Bullets would have been appalling enough. Horrifying.'

Nikki Bateman simply asked, 'why you'd even let a nine year old handle a gun in the first place?!'

Cameron Atfield directed his anger at the parents stating he 'hoped the parents are charged.'

Friends paid tribute to Vacca, an army veteran and a married father, as a great friend and soldier on Facebook. Best friend Robert Vera said they often laughed so much that they couldn't breathe.

'He became a brother and a major part of my life through thick and thin,' Vera said. 'Rest In Peace brother.'

Another friend added: 'A Soldier, a father, a mentor and a friend. SSG Charles Vacca will always be remembered with a smile and admiration.'

The incident occurred at the Arizona Last Stop, which is about 25 miles south of Las Vegas, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office told AZFamily. It is home to a shooting range, Bullets and Burgers.

'Our guests have the opportunity to fire a wide range of fully automatic machine guns and specialty weapons,' its website states. 'At our range, you can shoot FULL auto on our machine guns. Let 'em Rip!'

Bullets and Burgers would not comment on the incident and referred questions to a nearby gun emporium, but would not say whether or not they were affiliated.

Arizona gun laws require a person to be at least 18 years old to carry a firearm, but the laws do not apply on private property or if the minor is accompanied by a parent or a certified instructor.

U.S Mom fed her daughter TAPEWORMS so she could lose weight & Girl left screaming in toilet with parasites

A pageant mother from Florida fed her teenage daughter tapeworms to help her slim down for a competition, a nurse has revealed.

Maricar Cabral-Osori told how she admitted the girl to the ER with severe stomach cramps and initially suspected she was pregnant - something an ultrasound ruled out.

However, the cause of the pain became clear when the nurse later found the teenager screaming over a toilet bowl full of tapeworms, she recalled on a recent episode of Untold Stories of the ER.

Ms Cabral-Osori said the girl's mother, 'who turned white', admitted buying tapeworm eggs in Mexico and feeding them to her daughter. The eggs hatched after the girl ingested them.

She said: 'The mom was apologizing to the girl. 

'She's like, ''I'm so sorry. You know, I just did it to make you a little skinnier. You needed some help before we went on to the pageant'',' Gawker reported.

Ms Cabrai-Osori said the teenager had passed the tapeworms, some of which were 'very long and trying to get out of the toilet bowl'.

Tapeoworms have been used for nearly 100 years to increase weight-loss, but doctors have warned the practice is extremely dangerous.

Last year Dr Patricia Quinlisk, Medical Director of the Lowa Department of Health, wrote: 'Ingesting tapeworms is extremely risky and can cause a wide range of unstable side effects, including rare deaths.

'Those desiring to lose weight are advised to stick with proven weight loss methods- consuming fewer calories and increasing physical activity.'

Tapeworms attach themselves to the intestinal wall of its host and then absorb nutrients and calories

Certain tapeworms can grow up to 30 feet long and can live within a host for up to20 years

Most people affected with tapeworms have no symptoms, while others may experience abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition.

Serbian Iron Lady: 23 y.o Maja Pavlovic is Doctor, Politician AND Bodybuilder

A Serbian cardiologist and left-leaning MP who also loves pumping iron has revealed an unlikely inspiration - Britain's very own Iron Lady. 

Maja Pavlovic, an MP for the ruling Socialist Party, praised the late Margaret Thatcher when she was asked who she admired while competing at a bodybuilding event.

The 23-year-old blonde, who was recently voted Serbia's sexiest politician, was quick to praise the former right-wing Prime Minister.

She said: 'I know it may seem strange that someone from the other side of the political spectrum can be so impressed but Margaret Thatcher was a force of nature.

'Anybody that knows anything about her life cannot fail to be impressed by a remarkable woman she was, as an example to everyone.

'What she achieved over her life can only help to inspire others and it was my inspiration to go into politics and to make a success of myself doing what makes me happy.'

Ms Pavlovic, who recently won a medal in the European leg of the Women's Bikini Fitness Contest, said that in Serbia, just as it was in the Britain where Thatcher powered her way to the top, it is very male dominated.

She said: 'I hope like her to get to the top as well. Whether that's as a politician, a doctor or a model. Second place is not interesting.'

Ms Pavlovic, who is often seen posing in her bikini and at modelling or body fitness shoots, in between working as a doctor and attending political engagements, has caused quite a stir in her homeland.

According to the daily tabloid newspaper Telegraf, 'people want to get sick on purpose just to get healed by her', even though she is only a junior doctor.

Ms Pavlovic is in the fifth and final year of medical school in the town of Kragujevac and practises on patients as part of her final exams.

She said: 'I love medicine and I want to achieve great results there. But I also love politics. I want to stay involved in that and of course through my beauty contest involvement, I hope that I will get to travel and see interesting places.'

Houston we have a Problem! Bright, oval UFO photographed hovering above city's stormy skies

Could a UFO have visited Texas this week?

Several people have taken it to Twitter to post pictures showing a strange object floating through the Houston clouds during a storm last Monday.

Some of the pictures show a bright oval object hovering.

An unrelated picture shows a similar object through clouds.

There are others, some showing what appears to be lights underneath the 'thing.'

'I think the trick in UFO's is figuring out what else they could be,' Dr. Carolyn Sumners, vice president for Astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, told KPRC.

'It's easy to say that could be the aliens,' she added.

Sumners said that the stormy weather in Houston on Monday could be an explanation.

If it's a real object and it looks like it is, the more people who see it in different directions, the more likely we are to 'figure out where it is, what it is and see if we can explain it,' she told KPRC.

'All the way back to recorded history, there are going to be things we can't explain,' she added.

'That's what makes it exciting.'

1000 POUND Alligator caught by hunters after 10 hour stake out breaks Records for Largest ever captured

A family in Alabama are celebrating after catching the largest alligator ever recorded in the state over the weekend.

The mammoth beast, which measured 15-feet long and weighed 1,011.5 pounds, was captured by five members of the Stokes family near Thomaston.

It took the family, consisting of Mandy Stokes, husband John Stokes, brother-in-law Kevin Jenkins and his children Savannah, 16, and Parker, 14, ten hours to capture the monster.

The hunt started on Friday night and lasted well into Saturday morning.

Mandy Stokes said her crew went through the full range of emotions as they first staked the animal, before battling it, then killing it and finally struggling to take it back to shore.

�He came up just as calm as he could,� Mandy Stokes told AL.com. �When I pulled the trigger this time, water just exploded on all of us.�

When they finally got the beast back to dry land, he was so big that he crushed the winch system normally used by Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries biologists.

Alligators are the only dangerous-game species that can legally be hunted in the state. In the end, a backhoe had to be brought in to lift the animal and officially weigh it.

The mammoth gator has now been officially named as the largest ever legally harvested in Alabama and it could even be a new world record.

In June, Safari Club International declared a 14-foot, 8-inch, 880-pound alligator killed in Chalk Creek near Lufkin, Texas by Justin Wells of Bossier City, La., in 2007 as the new world record.

It isn't clear which metric - length, weight or a combination of both - SCI used to come to its decision.

The Stokes' gator measured 70.5 inches around the stomach, 46 inches around the base of the tail and had a 16-inch snout measurement.

Following his capture and being weighed, his next stop was scheduled to be Ken Owens' Autaugaville taxidermy shop.

World's most intelligent gorilla claim she was 'close to tears' following news of Robin Williams death

News of Robin Williams' untimely death hit particularly close to home for famed sign language gorilla Koko, who handlers say was moved nearly to tears by the somber mood shared by all at her Northern California home.

Staff at the Gorilla Foundation were, like much of America, in mourning after hearing the news Monday. Williams visited their center in 2001 and quickly befriended Koko, making her laugh for the first time in six months.

So when they explained to Koko, who is fluent in American Sign Language, that a dear friend of the center had died, she soon became sad and is pictured sitting hunched over with a quivering lip.

Koko even signed the words 'cry lip' -- lip being her word for woman -- as she watched staff reacting to the news.

'She became extremely sad,' Koko's caretaker Dr. Penny Patterson wrote on Koko.org.

Footage from the day Koko and Williams met is as uplifting as his suicide is tragic.

The actor arrived there as a stranger to the gorilla with a personal interest in ape conservation. He left as Koko's friend.

They truly appeared to bond as the gorilla insisted on Williams tickling her and tried on his eyeglasses much to his delight.

Koko's smiles, which were all caught on camera, were the first in months since her good friend -- a 27-year-old gorilla named Michael -- had passed away.

'Robin�s ability to just "hang out" with Koko, a gorilla, and in minutes become one of her closest friends, was extraordinary and unforgettable,' Dr. Patterson wrote.

Now the story has come full circle and Koko has lost another friend, though she'll forever have the memories of the time the funnyman lifted her up in dark times.

'Not only did Robin cheer up Koko,' said Patterson, 'the effect was mutual, and Robin seemed transformed.'

Mexican woman weight DOUBLED to 275 pounds found out she had a 132 pound TUMOUR

When Mercedes Talamante mysteriously doubled in weight, she thought it was just a sign she was getting old.

But after weeks of nagging from her daughter, she finally went to see a doctor - who found she actually had a 132lb tumour.

The huge growth, thought to be the largest tumour of its kind, had developed on the Mexican woman's ovaries and was almost half her weight.

Ms Talamante, 51, had become depressed because of her appearance and thought she had put on the weight because she was aging, but her daughter, Maria, convinced her she was sick.

The ovarian tumour grew for five years until it was almost half of her total body weight, with the Mexican woman barely able to move for the last 24 months.

Before the tumour started growing she weighed 143lbs, but by the time Ms Talamante got to the operating table in late July this year the scales tipped to 275lbs.

Moises Aaron Nunez, the director of Cabo San Lucas hospital, in north-western Mexico, said operating on such massive ovarian tumour was unheard of.

He said: 'We could not find any example of an ovarian tumour this big. There was no precedent anywhere in the world.'

Dr Gilberto Inzulza led the surgical team who successfully removed the tumour, saying the procedure took four hours.

At a joint press conference with the doctor, Ms Talamante thanked the medical team.

She said: 'I feel like a new woman. In fact after the surgery when I took my first steps, I felt like I was walking on air.'

She added that the first thing she planned to do when she got home was to go out with her daughter whose good advice saved her life.

Father fed up with his sons' obsessions with 'Call of Duty' computer games takes them to SYRIA & ISRAEL

A father took his two young sons who are fans of war games to Israel and Syria to a dramatic bid to teach them about the harsh realities of war and the devastation caused by the use of guns.

Carl-Magnus Helgegren is a Swedish journalist, university teacher, and a father of two boys, Leo, 11 and Frank, 10.

Mr Helgegren told MailOnline that was inspired to take his sons on the trip after they asked if they could buy the new violent shooter game when they were eating dinner last year and he became concerned that they did not understand the impact of war.

He decided to make a bet with his two sons - if they visited an area which has been plagued by war and tension and spoke to citizens there, then they would be able to play any video game they desired on their return.

The pair agreed and the family - including the children's mother Elisa who Mr Helgegren is separated from - embarked on the ten day visit to Israel and the Golan Heights in the occupied parts of Syria.

'When I presented this idea at first she hesitated she said "Is it safe?" But she said she would come along to be there for the children so we both did it together. We did it for the sake of our children.'

'I wanted to show them the negative effects war has once the guns and the canons have silenced,' Mr Helgegren told MailOnline.

'The people affected are someone's father and brother and sister and mother.'

The family arrived in Israel in April before the most recent round of fighting broke out.

Mr Helgegren, who has worked in the Middle East as a freelance journalist, is careful to stress the trip was not political.

'We started in Jerusalem and stayed with an Israeli family,' Mr Helgegren explains.

'I wanted them to meet all parts of society. Then we went to Shuafat refugee camp where water was at a shortage at the time and they had to got through a checkpoint.'

The residents of the Shuafat refugee camp are technically part of the Jerusalem municipality.

But they live outside the massive West Bank separation barrier that Israel has built.

So Israeli services are sparse, yet Palestinian authorities are barred from operating there or developing the water system.

Mr Helgegren said he took his sons to a clinic in the camp and asked medical staff to explain what it is like for children their age to live there.

'They were told about three boys who were in wheelchairs after being shot through the spine with rubber bullets. He explained it to them by saying "No more football practice"'.

The father said he told his sons: 'You don't see this in the game but this is what you can use a gun for. Guns are being pointed at children your own age.'

'I wanted to show them how you can use guns to uphold something. I am not trying not to make it a political issue. It is about oppression.

'I don't like the normalisation of guns. I do not believe in a world without weapons where guns are used as flower pots. But why should children be exposed to guns and violence several hours a day?'

The family also went to the Mjadal Shams in the Golan Heights - the rocky plateau has at least 2,000 mine fields.

They spoke to young men and women who had grown up during the Occupation and Mr Helgegren says his sons were interested to hear the stories of the difficulty people experienced in not being able to see their families.

Since writing of his experience on his return to Sweden, Mr Helgegren has been hit by an onslaught of incensed parents and aggravated tweets, but he says it is people who misunderstand his views and can not comprehend the safety of the trip.

'These are my children so I do whatever I find to be the best for them. Stop being naive,' he says.

'We went in April when when it was not the situation it is now and I had been there twice before and never felt unsafe.

'If there had been a war I wouldn't have gone. People who have never been there think people are shooting all the time everywhere.

'It's not the case - you could be a 90-year-old woman and go there to see the sights and it not be dangerous.

Mr Helgegren said on his return to Sweden his sons told him they did not want to buy the game and have been shocked by the recent fighting in the region.

'They ask me all the time about news out there - it has made the aware of a conflict that even many adults do not fully understand.

'Not everyone has to go to Middle East to teach their children about war games. But why normalise guns for children. Everybody is playing them and they are part of our children's lives. Why are parents not making this a problem?'

CCTV Thieves steal cow in India� by forcing it into the back seat of their HATCHBACK

This bizarre CCTV footage shows a pair of thieves stealing a sacred cow - by forcing it bottom-first into the back seat of their tiny hatchback and driving off with it.

The incident happened in Chennai, India, where cow slaughter is illegal, but these two thieves did not seem to care as they crammed the poor creature into their vehicle to take home for food.

Initially, the cow does not seem to out up much of a fight - it wanders over to the car of its own accord before one of the opportunists seizes it two minutes into the video. 

It begins to struggle as it is pushed into the back seat bottom-first, and at one point manages to force the door back open with its head, before giving up the fight.

With their catch trapped, the getaway drivers sets off, and the cow's main assailant jumps into the moving vehicle as it tears off down the road.

The theft appears to have taken place on a small farm on Kamaraj Avenue in Adyar - a large neighbourhood in south Chennai.

Slaughter of cattle has been illegal in Tamil Nadu - the region where Chennai is - since 1976, though consumption of beef is not banned.

U.S Police Dash Cam : Cop used the Heimlich manoeuvre on woman choking on a sausage sandwich

This is the moment a police officer pulls over a woman for running a red light, then saves her life using the Heimlich manoeuvre.

Public Safety Officer Jason Gates first thought the woman was trying to get out of a ticket, but quickly realised she was choking on some food.

Dashcam video footage from the incident in Kalamazoo, Michigan, shows Officer Gates asking the woman if she was okay, then giving a couple of back blows when he sees that she can�t breathe.

She is then seen sobbing and hugging the officer who saved her life by dislodging the sausage and biscuit sandwich from her throat.

Officer Gates said: �I'm sure this happens to police officers all the time, but rarely does this get caught on a dash cam.

�I just feel like I did what I'm paid to do. I'm glad for her that I happened to be there.

�I was not expecting the hug. She was relieved and I'm glad I was there for her.

�For the first second or so I thought she might be trying to just get out of a ticket and then I realised she was in legitimate respiratory distress, so I tried to dislodge the item from her throat by just hitting her on the back.

�When that didn't work, I got her out and I used the Heimlich for the first time in my nine year police career and it worked.�

The quick-thinking cop said he didn't intend to write the woman a ticket after she ran a red light at the 4100 block of South Burdick Street on Saturday August 9.

But it is fortunate for the driver that he did.

Officer Gates, who has been with Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety for three years, said it felt great that a traffic stop resulted in such a positive outcome.

�Most of the time, traffic stops are negative for people, but it's something we have to do,� he said.

�It does keep people safe, not only in slowing people down and keeping traffic safe, but in rare instances like this.�

The entire encounter from the time he pulled the woman over to when she embraced him after he dislodged the sausage and biscuit from her throat took less than a minute.

Officer Gates said he was surprised how quickly it happened when he later watched the video recorded by his dash cam.

He said he has not heard from the woman since their encounter, but he wished her well.

She was not issued a ticket for the red light violation.

This was the first time he officer had encountered a medical situation during a traffic stop that required him to use his emergency medical training.

�Even though I've never used it, I'm glad that I received that training and was able to use it successfully here,� he said.

Kalamazoo Public Safety Chief Jeff Hadley said: �While every incident doesn't result in saving someone's life, or make it in the news, they matter to the very people that are impacted by the service we provide.

�We are certainly very proud of Officer Gates and thankful his quick thinking more than likely saved the woman's life.�

Transgender COUPLE prepare to explain where mum used to be a dad and dad used to be a mum to kids

A transgender couple are preparing to tell their children when they get get older that their father actually gave birth to them and the person that they call their mother is in fact their father.

Bianca and Nick Bowser are a happily married couple and live in Kentucky with their two young sons.

Nick, 27, was born a girl, called Nicole, but for the last seven years has lived as a man.

Bianca, 32, who is a drag artist, was born as a boy called Jason, and transitioned to live as a woman 11 years ago.

The transgender couple still have their original sex organs because they cannot afford reconstructive surgery.

The cost of male to female surgery can range from �4,000 to �15,000, while female to male surgery can exceed �30,000.

And they insist their children, Kai, now three, and Pax, almost one, will be fine because their upbringing will be loving, supportive, secure, and perfectly 'normal'.

Bianca said: 'The kids currently have no idea. It's not like strangers ever guess in restaurants or at the shops.

'I don't know when we will start to tell them, maybe when Kai is around six, but they will need to be old enough to understand.

'It is important they know because it's a big secret to keep from your children and if they found out another way they could hold huge resentment.

'But I don't worry about how they will react. We will not treat it as a 'bad' thing. And young kids are accepting and non-judgemental.'

She adds: 'Being transsexual doesn't define who we are , just as being black or white or skinny or fat doesn't define you either.'

Nick says he had always felt that he was different from a young age.

He says: 'I was born a girl, but I never felt female.

'I was a tomboy and wanted to dress in jeans and t-shirts. I came out as a lesbian when I was 17, but when I spoke to other lesbians they said they liked being a girl, whereas I hated it.

'My whole life I wanted to look like a boy.

'It was only when I was 20 that I found out about transgenderism and realised I'd been born in the wrong body.'

After that, Nick started living as a man and changed his name.

He told his parents four years ago and, although they took a while to get used to it, they are now fully accepting.

Bianca, who was born Jason, transitioned 13 years ago, and had breast augmentation in 2003, as well as laser hair-removal, but didn't need female hormones because she naturally looks and sounds feminine.

She says: 'I knew there was something different and effeminate about me. When I was 17 we had a school pageant and all the boys dressed in drag. I loved it.

'When I was 18 I started working as a drag act. I met lots of transgender entertainers and started transitioning myself.

The couple were both open to dating other transgender people and when they met in 2009, they hit it off immediately.

Nick says: 'We talked about having children quite early on in our relationship because Bianca was thinking about having genital reconstruction.'

While Nick and Bianca could have used a surrogate, they were reluctant because it's expensive.

Nick says: 'We have a healthy sex life and we wanted a biological child - this was the only way we could do it.'

Nick fell pregnant with Kai in 2010, but struggled to cope with living as a man with a baby bump.

He says: 'I didn't enjoy it. I'm a man and it's just not easy doing something so feminine, but I coped and we were both so happy when Kai came along.

'We always wanted Kai to have a sibling, and the second pregnancy was tough too. I had terrible morning sickness and I was really tired.

'When I had Kai I'd only recently transitioned, so I didn't look so manly and people just thought Bianca and I were lesbians.

'But, when I was a pregnant with Pax, people were really staring at me, which made me feel very self-conscious.

'I couldn't handle the whispering and pointing and by the time of the third trimester I couldn't leave the house.

'I only left for doctor's appointments. People are afraid of what they don't understand.

'It was a daily struggle. I hated the way my body was changing. It did not match my inner feelings.'

Unable to bear the thought of natural birth, Nick opted for caesarean. 'It cut out part of the very female process of giving birth.

'But It's all been worth it, regardless of how difficult it was.'

Bianca did not mind missing that part of being woman.

She says: 'I was very happy not to carry the children. It was great to get out of it - the inconvenience, the physical changes, the pain of birth.

Bianca says that although they dislike still having their biological genitalia, having sex has never been a problem.

'We have the parts so we will use them,' she says.

'If we could change them we would, and they would be the other way around - but we cannot afford it and the children come first.'

Nick says: 'Kai always calls Bianca, Mum and me, Dad.

'And Bianca is definitely the typically clucking and over protective mum - in that respect we certainly conform to the stereotypical parents.

'We'll tell the children the truth when it's the right time - we've got nothing to hide.

'Our family and friends are really happy for us - not least our parents, because when we both came out as transgender they thought they wouldn't have grandchildren!'

The pair, who married in a quiet ceremony in November 2011, say they won't have any more children. But only because the two they already have are a handful.

'It's exhausting,' says Bianca, who still works as an entertainer, while Nick is a bar manager. 'But we love raising children.

'Having them is what I always wanted. I just didn't dream I would find anyone to do it with me.'

Real Life Mowgli: 3 y.o Girl survives 11 days and nights lost in Siberian wilderness thanks to PUPPY

A three-year-old girl has survived 11 days and nights on her own in the Siberian taiga which is infested with wild bears and wolves.

Karina Chikitova was saved by her puppy who kept her warm for more than a week before leaving her to return home to summon help.

The girl survived eating wild berries and drinking river water in territory roamed by bears and wolves, according to The Siberian Times.

'Rescuers searching for her confronted a bear highlighting the extraordinary danger she faced', it said.

Yet the worst she suffered were mosquito bites and scratches to her feet. 

Karina wandered away from her home in a remote village accompanied by her puppy whose name has not been revealed despite its heroism.

The small girl made herself beds in the long grasses, which are common in the summer in the south-west of the Sakha Republic, Russia's largest region.

However, the tall grasses made it impossible for search helicopters and drones to spot Karina who wore only a red undershirt and purple stockings when she was found.

Sakha is also Siberia's coldest region in winter but at this time of year the nighttime temperatures were slightly above zero, around 6C.

Karina's mother, who has not yet been named, believed her daughter had accompanied her father Rodion when he left on a trip on July 27 to his distant native village.

In fact, the father did not realise his daughter had followed him with her puppy and she became lost in the taiga.

Experts say her chances of survival for such a long period were minimal.

Four days after Karina had gone her mother finally got hold of her husband and realised that her daughter was lost and a massive search was launched.

Initially, Karina's family and the rescue teams were distraught when the dog - which has not been named despite its heroic role - returned to the girl's village of Olom in Olyokminsky district, some nine days after Karina had been missing.

In fact the animal's instinct to seek help was vital to saving Karina.

'Two days before we found Karina her puppy came back home,' said Afanasiy Nikolayev, spokesman for the Sakha Republic Rescue Service.

'That was the moment when our hearts sank, because we thought at least with her dog Karina had chances to survive - night in Yakutia are cold and some areas have already gone into minus temperatures.

'If she was to hug her puppy, we thought, this would have given her a chance to stay warm during nights and survive.

'So when her dog came back we thought that's it - even if she was alive - and chances were slim - now she would have definitely have lost all hopes. Our hearts truly and deeply sank.'

However, the dog guided the rescuers to the stranded girl.

'It was Karina's puppy that helped the adults find the girl,' said a report by NTV news.

'When it came back home two days ago her family had lost hope, thinking this definitely meant Karina had no chance.

'But then it was the puppy that showed rescuers the way to Karina, and in the morning she was found.'

The television report said Karina 'was conscious and looked surprisingly well.

'She was given food and drinks, and then with her mother she was first sent to the district hospital and then to Yakutsk, the regional capital.

'She doesn't want to speak about the time she spent in taiga, or not yet. The only thing she said that she was eating berries and drank water from rivers.'

Nikolayev said the rescuers guided by the dog spotted traces of her bare feet and this helped them find her. 

'We began searches, thinking that if she had lost her shoes she would try and stay away from the deep forest, because there are a lot of sharp sticks there,' he said.

Suddenly with the dog's help 'we saw Karina siting in the grass', he said.

'We rushed to her, got her a little tea and grabbed her to run back to the car and doctors.'

Nikolayev said: 'I carried Karina myself to the car, and she was light as a bird.

'She weighed hardly ten kilograms - but amazingly she was fully conscious.'

Ekaterina Andreeva, a psychologist with the rescue team, said: 'We can say that the girl's mind was not hurt.

She is talking, she reacts normally to everything around her.

'She recalls what happened to her.'

Amazingly she suffered no major physical injury though she has scratches on her feet.

She had been badly bitten by mosquitoes and other insects.

The taiga is home to Russia's largest populations of brown bear, moose, wolf, red fox and reindeer.

It is one of the most extensive natural forests left in the world.

No Criminal charge for Nascar champion Tony Stewart after HIT & KILLS Kevin Ward Jr. in Dirt-track race

Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York on Saturday night.

Kevin Ward Jr. had crashed following contact with Stewart one lap earlier and got out of his car as it was stopped along the fence. Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart's passing car, he was struck.

So Authorities questioned Stewart but said no criminal charges were imminent. Stewart traveled to Watkins Glen International following the incident and planned to race in Sunday's NASCAR event.

Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said Stewart was "visibly shaken" and had been cooperative in the investigation. Authorities were asking spectators and others to turn over any video they recorded of the crash.

"This is right now being investigated as an on-track crash and I don't want to infer that there are criminal charges pending," Povero said. "When the investigation is completed, we will sit down with the district attorney and review it. But I want to make it very clear: there are no criminal charges pending at this time."

NASCAR said it would not prevent Stewart from racing Sunday, and his team appeared to be trying to focus on the track.

"We're business as usual today," said Greg Zipadelli, competition director for Stewart-Haas Racing, a four-car NASCAR organization that is co-owned by Stewart.

A witness said it appeared Ward was trying to confront Stewart, the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion. The video showed Ward standing to the right of Stewart's familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to kick out from the rear and hit him.

Moments earlier, Ward and Stewart were racing side-by-side for position as they exited a turn. Ward was on the outside when Stewart, on the bottom, seemed to slide toward Ward's car and crowd him toward the wall. The rear tire of Stewart's car appeared to clip the front tire of Ward's car, and Ward spun into the fence.

Povero said Ward, who was wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, had walked into the racing area and one car swerved to avoid him before he was struck by Stewart.

"The next thing I could see, I didn't see (the other driver) anymore," witness Michael Messerly said. "It just seemed like he was suddenly gone."

A spokesman for Stewart's racing team called Ward's death a "tragic accident."

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends," the spokesman said in a statement. "We're still attempting to sort through all the details."

The dirt track, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester, canceled the remainder of the race and later posted a message on its Facebook page encouraging fans to "pray for the entire racing community of fans, drivers, and families."

Ward's website said he began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4, but didn't start driving sprint cars until 2010. The 20-year-old from Port Leyden, New York, was Empire Super Sprint rookie of the year in 2012 and this year was his fifth season racing the Empire Super Sprints.

Stewart often competes in extracurricular events. The multimillionaire is known to participate in races with purses worth less than $3,000 and drive alongside drivers of varying ages and talent levels.

The accident Saturday came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. The injury cost him the second half of the NASCAR season. Stewart only returned to sprint track racing last month, and won in his return, at Tri-City Motor Speedway in Michigan.

But the broken leg cost him the entire second-half of last season and sidelined him during NASCAR's important Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Stewart wasn't cleared to get back in a race car until February, the day the track opened for preparations for NASCAR's season-opening Daytona 500 began.

"Everybody has hobbies. Everybody has stuff they like to do when they have downtime, and that's just what it is for me," he said last month following his return to sprint car racing. "That's what I like to do when I have extra time. I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it. I feel like there are a lot of other things I could be doing that are a lot more dangerous and a lot bigger waste of time with my time off do than doing that."

Stewart was a spectator at the Knoxville Nationals in Iowa on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of the accident, and posted on his Twitter account: "Thank you to everyone that worked so hard to get me back to where I'm at today. It's your life, live it!"

Among Stewart's many business interests is his ownership of Ohio dirt track Eldora Speedway, which last month hosted the NASCAR Truck Series, and his stake in Stewart-Haas Racing, which fields cars for Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick.

He's struggled a bit this year since returning from his leg injury, and heads into Sunday's race winless on the season and ranked 19th in the standings.

Stewart was scheduled to start 13th on Sunday at Watkins Glen, one of just five remaining races for Stewart to either score a win or move inside the top 16 in points to grab a valuable spot in NASCAR's Chase.

The site of Saturday night's crash is the same track where Stewart was involved in a July 2013 accident that seriously injured a 19-year-old driver. He later took responsibility for his car making contact with another and triggering the 15-car accident that left Alysha Ruggles with a compression fracture in her back.
