The 'haunted table' in the bar of the Black Horse Inn on Nuthurst Street in Nuthurst, West Sussex, England.
Over the years, local people have observed pints of beer and other objects sliding across this table without human agency. Even though the table has a slight downward slant towards the window, it is not enough to generate slide. Local knowledge has it that this was the table at which, many years ago, regularly sat a man who could see the Old Post Office, opposite, to observe his wife visiting her lover, the postmaster whom he subsequently murdered and buried in nearby St Leonard's Forest. The spirit of the murderer has since haunted a table in this position, still watching over the post office for the appearance of his wife.
Other entities are seen and heard around the village, and particularly associated with the pub which is noted as one of the most haunted in Sussex.
The aptly named Black Hound Weir, on the culverted stream in the rear pub garden, has one of the many and various village sightings of the large feral 'Black Hound of Nuthurst' who when alive crossed the dam regularly to be fed scraps, but was found drowned at the base of the weir.
'Nuthurst Ned', owned by a farmer who lived at Sedgwick along the bridle path opposite, was an old horse who most nights for years carried the farmer down to the pub. He would patiently wait outside to take home the often inebriated rider, only stamping his hoofs and snorting when it was time to go. After the farmer's death, Ned would still make his own way down to the pub to keep his solitary vigil before making his way home alone. Today, late at night, Ned's eerie equine snorts, stamping and hoof scraping calls can be heard in the street outside the pub.
In one of the upstairs windows at the front of the building is seen the ghostly face of a young woman who is believed met an untimely death, local knowledge stating she was one of the pub's serving maids or female occupants of the cottages before they were converted as part of today's inn.
Objects on windowsills have been known to move in full view, and books from stacks have been found slid inexplicably onto the floor or tables overnight.

Sighisoara: Small and nice city in the middle of Carpates. These stairs are taken by the pupils everydays to join their school.
Rome, 9-10 September 2024.
In this workshop, we explored the role of innovation in supporting traditional practices that conserve agricultural heritage systems.
Traditional agricultural practices, often rooted in the local communities and the knowledge of Indigenous peoples, shape landscapes, maintain biodiversity, contribute to food security, and support the livelihoods of both Indigenous and local communities.
This workshop is part of a series on GIAHS and Family Farming, funded by Japan's project "Support through GIAHS Programme the International Activities for Sustainable Family Farming." It aims to gather, analyze, and share outstanding initiatives and best practices among family farmers in GIAHS sites.

In the critical moments before the 2004 tsunami hit Thailand, a 10-year-old British girl, armed with the knowledge acquired from a recent geography class, recognized the impending disaster's warning signs on the beach. Her quick thinking and warning saved hundreds of lives.
This is the story of a girl named Tilly Smith who at the age of 10 was able to save the lives of hundreds of people at the Mai Khao Beach in Thailand.
On a peaceful morning in December 2004, the sunny shores of Mai Khao Beach, Thailand, were filled with tourists enjoying their vacation. Little did they know that this picturesque scene would soon turn into a life-threatening nightmare.
Amid the silence, a 10-year-old girl stands out, armed not with superpowers but with knowledge. Her name is Tilly Smith and her remarkable story is one of quick wit, courage, and the extraordinary impact a young mind can have in the face of disaster.
