(RJ tells us all about another one of those creatures that only he seems to know about)
Feelay spiders are really good. They’re the friendly ones. They are bigger than your head and dig burrows and tunnels. They can jump a long way.
Some things eat them, but they have a secret weapon on their side… A hunter’s lair. Lizards eat them, but only after they have been cooked in a fire so they are safe to eat.
One day, a big forest fire came and burned everything until it was black and grey, then the fire went out…
For those of you that haven’t visited Australia, RJ would like to introduce you to one of the spiders that are commonly found in the area. This is a Huntsman spider, and they often get larger than this (last week we spotted one trying to wander off with the dog).
We kept him in the kitchen with us for a few hours, but relocated him to the veggie patch, where he can do a great job hunting down pests. Despite what RJ says, they do not actually eat fruit.
For most of us, a Halloween party means costumes, candy and a good time, but those attending the Marshall’s annual Halloween party left with only tears and potential sleepless nights.
Promoted as a kid-friendly take on the classic Haunted House, visitors were alarmed by the terrifying sounds and sights within. Groups of children, faces streaked with tears, were seen being led away to the protective arms of their parents.
Visitors to the Haunted Garage encountered a dark, fog-filled cavern and guided through a dark, webbed tunnel swarming with tarantulas, before being attacked by vampire bats.
A statement from Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) officials states that the garage will be quarantined for the next 24 hours while they assess the scope of the infestation and determine the source of the non-native species. Sources indicate that the attached residence may require demolition to eliminate the outbreak.
Several disturbed guests reported encountering a strange seated figure with glowing eyes, a horrific crime scene involving dismembered teddy bears, and being attacked by an eerie floating apparation.
Some of the more confused reports include glimpses of a freakish ape man, or perhaps a gorilla, living within the depths of the garage, but these have not been corroborated. Perth Zoo officials have been contacted and an investigation is pending.
Police are requesting that anyone with any information regarding these events contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline at…
