An airport employee in Mexico claims to have witnessed paranormal activity on-board an empty plane.

Francisco Hernandez who works at Mexico City Airport was working a late shift at the airport when the surreal incident supposedly took place.

He was checking out the empty plane when he heard a noise and went to investigate.

As he approached where the sound was coming from, a dark figure appeared in front of him and Francisco left the plane as fast as possible.

He subsequently said: "At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing ... and even took a few steps forward because I thought it could be a trick of the light. But when it moved back and forth on its own, I knew I wasn't making it up. What I saw that night totally freaked me out and I ran for my life."

A conservative mother found out about her daughter's secret nipple piercings when they were exposed in an X-ray.

Sydney Allen from Clearwater, Florida, had got the piercing discreetly done in June, but she was surprised when they showed up on a routine X-ray which she had dragged her mum along to for moral support.

Sydney, 20, told Buzzfeed News: "My mom saw my piercings as soon as the X-ray popped up and the doctor and I started laughing hysterically."

Her mum who she claims is "a bit conservative on appearances and hates tattoos and piercings" initially didn't take it too well, saying: "We will discuss it later."

The incident has already gone viral and has helped to raise awareness of syringomyelia a rare condition caused by fluid build up on the spinal chord that Sydney has regular checkups for.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has spent more than PS10,000 over the last five years as it apologised to taxpayers for making mistakes.

A Freedom of Information request by the Daily Telegraph newspaper found that HMRC spent as much as PS10,298 between 2014 and this year to date on flowers.

The taxman has defended the strange gesture, saying that the bouquets were a "more personal gesture" for responding to complaints.

But John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "What a ridiculous and woefully inadequate way of apologising to hard-pressed taxpayers who have been let down by the system. The best way for HMRC to cut down on the costs of sending flowers would be to avoid making the errors in the first place."
