George Best’s ex-wife believes that her former husband’s ghost is haunting her Surrey home. “I’m convinced spirits have come to visit my 200-year-old house, and now I think George could have been one of them,” Alex Best said. A team of paranormal professionals were enlisted to help her discover the truth for new discovery+ TV show Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted. The team reportedly witnessed spooky goings-on incuding a book shooting off a shelf that turned out to be the late footballer’s authorised biography.

Reporter hit by car but carries on with story
A reporter who was struck by a car during a live TV broadcast in the US reacted by standing up and finishing her report. Tori Yorgey of West Virginia’s WSAZ-TV was getting ready to report on a water main break when an SUV appeared in the shot and slammed into her, causing her camera to topple to the ground. “Oh my god! I just got hit by a car, but I’m okay,” she said. Yorgey then picked up the camera and lights, and went on to finish her report.
