urban explorer which has been abandoned since the millionaire owner died over a decade ago.The grand home was once owned by an eccentric millionaire called Jean-Charles, who earned his fortune by creating a famous dancing restaurant.But sadly since his death, all of his worldly possessions have been left to collect dust in his home in Isere, France which has been dubbed the 'Baron Castle of the Night'.He had multiple statues and throne-style chairs alongside bulky wooden furniture which took up the majority of space in the rooms.One room even features a pool table covered in clutter with the balls still laid out from the last game.There are black and white pictures of his loved ones still out, shelves stacked with books and a hoard of teddy bears taking up space on green armchairs. The French photographer behind the Urbex Peripitie Facebook page, Jérémy Marionwrote: "I present to you the old castle of Jean-Charles, a millionaire who made a fortune by creating a very famous dancing restaurant in a great city."He died a long time ago and now he leaves a legacy that is hidden, hidden from all at the bottom of the Isere." Fans of the YouTuber's page flooded the comments with admiration for the home which they found 'quirky.'One commenter said: "Such wonderful chateaux but such a shame to be left empty, to rot!"Another wrote: "Where is the family of the owner? People of this kind of wealth should have wills.

Reddit sleuths appear to have finally been stumped by a location on Google Maps that appears to show a “random container on a random island” - and it was spotted literally in the middle of nowhere.Forum user NewArt7197 found the strange discovery on an island called Wrangel Island, in between the area where the East Siberian and Chukchi seas meet.Its nearest landmass is off the coast of the Leningradsky district in Krasnodar, Russia.But the container pictured on the island appears to have been opened with its contents left streamed all over the ground around it.Speculative guesses ranged from an “abandoned soviet station” to “some kind of nature research station”.The island is actually a highly protected nature reserve, and one user – boston_nsca – explained that the container could have linked to that.They wrote: “I'm assuming it's storage and a shelter for research.“It's also the last place woolly mammoths were known to exist so I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's what it is.”The island was said to have prehistoric humans living on it after evidence was uncovered in 1975 at the Chertov Ovrag dig site.What do you think the strange discovery could be? Let us know in the comments below!Stone and ivory tools, as well as a toggling harpoon, were found, and it has been suggested that humans lived there until its population of mammoths died out in the year 2000 BC.It was first discovered by modern humans in 1764 when Cossack Sergeant Stepan Andreyev named it Tikegen Land, but it was renamed in around 1824 when Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel read the Seargeant's report and attempted to find it himself – he did not, but it was named after him anyway.In 2014, Russia's Navy said it would make a base on the island, which was

Dancing On Ice star Bez has apologised to his fellow contestants for staying in the competition too long.The Happy Mondays musician, who has been impressing fans with his wobbly dance routines on Sunday nights said he feels "awful" that other stars are being voted off instead of him.And although he has been ranked as a favourite to win the show, Bez, 57, can't help but feel guilty.Speaking candidly, the star told The Sun: "I feel so awful for everyone, like Ben. He skated brilliantly and he was really strong, doing massive lifts on his first skate.

Star Trek sensation William Shatner, the fantasy failed to match the reality.The 90-year old was invited by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in his shuttle in October 2021, but when he arrived, he was totally unimpressed.So far, most of the select few who have returned after a trip to space with Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin have been deeply emotional about their journey.However, that wasn't true of William Shatner, whose only thought at one point was: "Why am I bl**dy doing this?!"The trip was arranged for an Amazon TV documentary that retail giant Bezos had organised, entitled Shatner In Space.Fans might have thought the Canadian actor, who played Admiral James T Kirk in Star Trek and whose fictional birth in the show was 2233, might have relished the chance to play with the space-time continuum in another realm.However, in conversation with SFX magazine, he revealed his slightly horrifying trip: "I looked back, and I could see a wake, like a submarine under the water might leave.“The air was tumultuous, filling in as the ship went through it."Then my eyes went up, and there was impenetrable blackness – the kind I’d seen once in a cave.“It’s blackness that’s almost touchable.There was no spinning stars and the majesty of space.For those who'd had fantasies about a glittering night sky of the type romanticised in art, William was forced to disappoint them, stating: "It was ominous. It was death.”He also found that his age meant space travel quickly took its toll."Most of the practice was about getting back into your prostrated seat in weightlessness.

Alan Shearer’ to make a cheeky header during his side’s defeat of Latvia in their first game of the 2022 Winter Olympics.Winger Max Friberg was lining up for the Swedes in their Group C encounter with Lativa, with both teams harbouring hopes of winning the gold medal.Friberg was the furthest player forward for Sweden with 11.33 minutes remaining of the second period when the puck was launched forwards.It was too high for the Frölunda HC star to bring down with his stick, despite him being 1.79 metres tall, so he employed a novel method to get the puck back on the ice.After the puck was played forward from deep on Sweden’s left, Friberg jumped up and headed it into the centre of the rink.Unfortunately for Friberg, none of his team-mates were far enough forward to capitalise on his header, with Latvia mopping up easily.While his fellow Swedes were unable to anticipate it, Friberg’s header delighted supporters watching on.And some even compared the 29-year-old to legendary Premier League striker Shearer.How many medals do you think Team GB will win at the Winter Olympics? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section...“Has Sean Dyce seen this?” one fan asked.“Alan Shearer like flick on that,” another tweeted.“Man Utd scouts on high alert,” a third joked.“Lovely little near-post flick on,” a fourth said.Friberg helped Sweden to survive a comeback from Lativa to secure a win in their opening game of the Beijing Games.Anton Lander’s goal as well as a double from Lucas Wallmark had given the Swedes a commanding 3-0 lead midway through the second period.But Latvia hit back through powerplay strikes from Renars Krastenbergs and Nikolajs Jelisejevs to send the game to a nervy finish.The Swedes were able to hold on though and

her death on Feb. 11, 2012, Whitney Houston showed up to rehearsals for mentor Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy gala, a glitzy night of music and mingling that she was planning to attend. The star-studded bash — which, held the night before the awards, is always one of the hottest tickets of Grammy weekend — was taking place at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton hotel, where the singer was also staying.Houston’s longtime musical director Rickey Minor was putting the band through its paces for the event, and he noticed immediately that something was different about the woman who was like his “little sister.”“She pops into rehearsal, and we hadn’t even started, and it’s 10:30 in the morning,” Minor told The Post.
