3. The Mysterious Case of the Missing Pyjamas
In a bizarre series of events, a woman in the United Kingdom reported that her pyjamas had gone missing… only to discover that her cat had been wearing them the entire time.

4. The Ancient Egyptian Mummy’s Curious Condition
In a surprising discovery, archaeologists in Egypt uncovered a 3,000-year-old mummy with a peculiar condition – his body was covered in tattoos of cats.

6. The Baffling Case of the Haunted Elevator
In a freaky incident, a group of commuters in Japan reported that an elevator at a major train station began playing loud, eerie music and displaying mysterious messages – including one that read, "Get out while you still can."
