Turns out more than four in 10 Americans believe that ghosts, demons, and other supernatural beings do exist. More than one-third of Americans (36%) say that they have personally felt the presence of a spirit or ghost. Women (41%) are more likely than men (31%) to say that this has happened to them.

ITALY
A
guy in Italy walked into a post office armed with a screwdriver and
told a cashier to empty her register. The cashier reportedly told the
man, “Come on, don’t do it. You’d better give me that.” She
told police he then started crying and told her he was behind in
alimony payments. A co-worker called police while the cashier was
comforting the sobbing suspect, and officers arrived to find the man
still crying and telling the cashier and post office customers about
his troubles.

Taco
Bell fans have launched a massive campaign to “save” one of the
chain’s most iconic items. In September, the fast-food franchise
announced a series of menu cuts that, depending on your love for pico
de gallo, may have been pretty heartbreaking. Pico de gallo aside,
the most painful announcement seemed to involve Mexican Pizza. The
dish, which is essentially a large, round taco topped with pizza
sauce, tomatoes and cheese, will leave the menu in early November.
That news didn’t go over well with Taco Bell obsessives, some of
whom created a Change.org petition to stop the item’s removal. As
of October 13, that petition has more than 100,000 signatures. The
campaign calls fast food lovers to “band together, show support,
and save the Mexican Pizza.” It’s worth noting, though, that the
chain has promised that it’s adding plenty of new menu items to
help fill the void — including a $1 Chicken Chipotle Melt.

A
Florida man is accused of using a 24-cent packet of Kool-Aid to rack
up nearly $1,000 in fraudulent charges at a Walmart in North Naples.
37-year-old Bradley D. Young, who is also a felon out of Ohio, faces
grand theft and shoplifting charges. Police were called to the store
at around 5:45 p.m. Sunday on reports of a theft in progress. Police
said that a store loss prevention officer watched him scan
merchandise with a Kool-Aid packet concealed in his hand so the items
rang up as 24-cents each. Young is accused of ringing up three
packets and some other small items totaling $24.44 for $994.13 worth
of merchandise. The worker told police she recognized Young from a
prior incident at the store. He is accused of walking out of the
store with a shopping cart of unpaid items, including a scooter
valued at $248, a dual navigation system valued at $119.87 and $160
worth of batteries. Deputies arrested him at the
store.(https://bit.ly/35nD7y3)
