00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.560
Callaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:12.679
good news stories. Now you might be saying, Johnny Mack,

3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.079
you never talk about the lock Ness Monster. Why is that? Yes, friends,

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.440
it is another Lockness Monster's story. A woman claims that

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.800
she saw the loch Ness Monster blowing bubbles just below

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.679
the surface. Let's investigate this story. Annette claims that she

7
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.079
saw the Locknest Monster's hump rising above the water surface,

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.200
and she's got it on video. This happened after she

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.200
first claimed I have seen NeSSI with her binoculars. NeSSI

10
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.640
didn't have the binoculars. Annette had the binoculars. You understood that, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

11
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.359
The woman was startled after initially spotting a dark gray

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.520
shape lurking beneath the surface while rising bubbles caught her attention.

13
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.320
Annette says, NeSSI briefly surfaced before quickly submerging back into

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.000
the lock and Neett explains, I was using binoculars at

15
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:59.840
first for short time and I saw the waves change.

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320
Kept looking. I saw a few bubbles that caught my attention.

17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.840
Then I saw a gray, dark shape. It was moving,

18
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.920
so I took my mobile phone out. Then it went

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.680
underwater and did not re emerge. Annett has submitted her

20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.319
sightings to the loch Ness Center. A spokesperson for the

21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.159
loch Ness Center said, the observer, initially using binoculars, described

22
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.519
a dark gray shape lurking beneath the surface water, blowing bubbles,

23
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.519
then briefly surfacing above the water, before quickly submerging. Seconds later,

24
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.480
the observer was able to capture a picture following several

25
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.200
disservances in the water before whatever was lurking quickly disappeared.

26
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.719
The general manager at the Lochness Center said, We've had

27
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.760
numerous observations over the years, but this recent siding has

28
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.359
been particularly captivating. The conditions on the day of the

29
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.359
sighting were absolutely perfect. This could very well be our

30
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.480
first significant siding of the year, further fueling the mystery

31
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.519
surrounding Lockness and its most famous resident. As always, we

32
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.359
are committed to solving the mystery of NeSSI once and

33
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.480
for all. In Michigan, a bookstore move to a new

34
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.239
location one book at a time, more than three hundred

35
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.840
people made a chain to move ninety one hundred books

36
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
from the old location of the bookstore to the new

37
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.120
location of the bookstore. Serendipity Books. They put out a

38
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.520
call for volunteers when they had to move three hundred

39
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.080
humans and one dog, formed chains between the two buildings

40
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.840
and passed books one at a time in alphabetical order.

41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.319
The owner told the NBC News people really consider independent

42
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.719
bookstores theirs. It's really part of the community. They have

43
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.400
ownership to see the community come out, you know, put

44
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.240
all these words that they say into action. It truly

45
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.840
meant the world. There was a ninety one year old woman,

46
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:40.719
there was a good customer who has issues with his heart.

47
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.400
There was somebody with their six year old child. And

48
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.840
we figured if we did it book by book, everybody

49
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.680
could be involved. Not clear how the dog participated. I'll

50
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.919
let you know if I find out. Meanwhile, in Australia,

51
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.639
a world record for you. Nine hundred and eighteen people

52
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.319
sat down at one hundred and fifty tables to play Monopoly.

53
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.360
The record attempt in Sydney was organized by the Little

54
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.439
Legs Foundation. They are a charity that raises funds and

55
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.319
awareness for children with brain cancer. This was their second

56
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.199
attempt to break the record. They fell short by thirty

57
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.280
people last time, back when the record was seven hundred

58
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.479
and thirty thirty, but they have it. Now here's an

59
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.680
interesting thing that I could edit out here in my

60
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.639
little script I have. Hey, script number fifty six has

61
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.400
five stories, and I just got down to stories number

62
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:31.719
four and five. They're blank. Don't worry. I have other

63
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.039
ways to get stories. I have other scripts. I o'ld

64
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.080
just have to cannibalize too. All right, here's one good news.

65
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.879
We found a donkey. The donkey had fled a bear.

66
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.919
Apparently Murty the donkey had escaped from Jerry and Deirdre's place.

67
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.000
The donkey had freaked out because a bear had entered

68
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.599
the donkey stall. Officials initially fear that Murdy had been

69
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:56.120
attacked by the bear, but luckily Officer Darren found Murdy

70
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.639
with a camera drone just before six pm. Murdy was

71
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.639
found out the woods near the Skyline country Club was

72
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.560
found to be uninjured. Murdy the donkey is now home

73
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.159
safe with his family. And good news for a man

74
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.159
in Michigan. He escaped quicksand and got a new girlfriend. Yeah,

75
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.439
that's not a bad day in the woods, right, Yeah.

76
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.800
A Michigan man was stuck up to his waist in

77
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.800
quicksand on a lake in Michigan Beach. Mitchell was out

78
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.279
there looking for blue stones at Reynolds Street Beach. He

79
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.079
took a wrong step about five feet past the shoreline

80
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.920
and sank into the sand. He told him live it

81
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.319
was obviously unstable. We wouldn't have walked down on it,

82
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.639
but didn't look that bad. It just looked like what sand.

83
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.600
Most of it was firm enough to walk on. Now

84
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.439
here's where it gets even more fun. He told The

85
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.800
Detroit News that his first thought was, oh no, not

86
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.959
this again. He explained, this isn't the first time that

87
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.720
he's dealt with something like this. He has previously gotten

88
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.360
caught in quicksand really, I don't even think that's happened

89
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.920
to you Indiana Shones. He explains, my left leg I

90
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.480
couldn't move it. I felt like there was something holding

91
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.399
it underground. It was crazy how hard it was there.

92
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.480
Both he and the woman he was walking with called

93
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.839
nine one one. We both get through at the same time,

94
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.959
and I go, I think my girlfriend's trying to call too,

95
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.040
and she says, my boyfriend stuck in the sand. And

96
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.319
that was literally the first time we defined our relationship.

97
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.279
It happened with two separate nine to eleven operators at

98
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.279
the same time. See before the quicksand they were just

99
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.079
friends and now they're a couple. And he got out

100
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.120
of the Quicksand those are five good news stories for today.

101
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.600
That was fun see and I don't even prep those

102
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.199
last two. That's how much I enjoy doing this show.

103
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:33.800
All Right, you have an awesome day.
