The internet was left confused after a woman alleged that she saw her late husband in a recently filmed promotional video for a restaurant - but it appears the case may have now been solved.

For those who aren't aware of this bizarre story - Spice Cottage in West Sussex, UK, posted a video on their social media channels as they looked to promote their restaurant, serving Indian cuisine.

The footage showed the interior of the building as happy diners tucked into their meals, with one of the patrons causing quite a stir as he could potentially have been a ghost.

Lucy Watson commented on the Facebook video, claiming that one of the diners was her late husband, Harry, who died in 2014, but the restaurant claimed the footage was only shot two weeks ago [at the time of writing].

The internet did what the internet does best and everyone gave it their best Sherlock Holmes impression to get to the bottom of this mystery.

One claimed it to be a publicity stunt by the restaurant, saying: "This whole ‘Lucy’ story is a social media marketing genius move [...] how many likes and clicks is this restaurant now getting!"

Others took it as their time to shine by throwing in jokes about it being their late "naan" in the footage, or that Lucy's husband might have been in a "korma" this entire time.

But never fear, the mystery has finally been solved!

Lucy claimed that sitting opposite her deceased husband was her son, Alex. Luckily, he spoke to the Daily Mail about the whole situation and has finally given everyone the conclusion they demanded.

After seeing the footage, Alex said: "No way. It's not my dad and it's not me. She's got it wrong. You can see from the comments that people are really intrigued about it. They really want to know the answers."

"The answer is that it's not my dad – that's it."

The restaurant was also on hand to clarify that they hadn't used footage from nine years ago, saying: "In regards to the incident regarding the Lucy Watson comment and her interview, we would like to clarify some misunderstandings.

"I run the social media side of the business and recorded a promotional video to portray our new wooden tables and interior refurbishment. The refurbishment was completed in early January 2023 and the promotional video highlights these changes. All videos used in the video were recorded w/c 9th January 2023.

"Before January 2023, all of our tables were covered by white and red cloths, henceforth it is evident this footage is recent. This is a very unusual situation and we hope this clarifies any confusion."

So there we have it, it was all a simple mistake... Though coming back from the dead for a good curry seems completely understandable.

A man who became famous for eating lunch with a picture of his late wife sadly passed away at the age of 97 after years of displaying unwavering love.

As reported by WTOC in 2017, a then 93-year-old Clarence Purvis was photographed eating at a restaurant with a picture of his late wife Carolyn.

The photo was taken in Reidsville and it quickly circulated across social media as many were touched with Clarence's dedication to his wife as he demonstrated that love never truly dies.

Clarence met Carolyn when she was 16 years old in 1948 and he swept her off of her feet. They married a year later and spent the rest of their days journeying through life together.

For the final 13 years of her life, the couple dined at Smith's Restaurant for lunch and quickly became much loved regulars.

"Ain't nobody loved one another more than me and my wife loved one another," Clarence told WTOC. "I wanted what she wanted and she wanted what I wanted."

Sadly, Carolyn passed away in 2013 but that didn't stop her husband from going for lunch with her, as he took her picture wherever he went.

On top of this, he drove to visit her grave at least four times a day, as he recounted the days he spent with his love: "Eat lunch, come back, watch television, go to bed, love one another. What more you want? Go to church. We had everything we wanted."

When asked why he dedicates so much time to his late wife, he replied: "I love her that much. And miss her that much. And think she would with me."

When he visited Carolyn's grave, Clarence dropped to his knees and said: "I love you, baby. I wish you could go home with me. Come on let's go. You can't go or you would, wouldn't you? I would stay in your place. "

Sadly, Clarence has since passed away as reported by WTOC, and his loved ones gathered to remember the man who showed that love never dies.

"He became world-known just to show his love for his wife, how much she meant to him," his daughter Dianne Knight said.

"That’s what this world needs today. The kind of love that they had for one another," Dianne continued, with his son Dale adding: "The pictures of him after momma passed, you hardly saw him smile. As opposed to when we had pictures of him before. But now he’ll be smiling all the time."

Clarence's children have found peace knowing that he has been reunited with the love of his life, and it's clear that they will be having lunch together again.

After heartbreaking footage of a struggling food truck owner breaking in tears went viral, large numbers of people flocked to the food stall to save it from going bust, NDTV reports.

The elderly couple from South Delhi never made huge amounts of revenue from the home-cooked meals they sold at their kiosk.

But the business, which they had been running for 30 years, had previously made enough money for them to survive on, according to the publication.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/VasundharaTankh/status/1313881005179064320]]

Unfortunately,  though, their business was hit hard by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and it appears they had been struggling more than usual.

Last Wednesday, (October 7), a Twitter user, Vasundhara Tankha Sharma, posted a video of the couple, saying their story "completely broke my heart". In the tweet, she urged people in the area to "please, please go eat at Baba ka Dhaba in Malviya Nagar".

In the video which was filmed by Indian blogger Gaurav Vasan, a distressed-looking Kanta Prasad, 80, opened up about his financial troubles. He said that he and his wife Badami Devi typically begin cooking at 6:30AM and are usually ready to serve by 9:30AM.

Their dishes included Dal, curry, parathas, and rice which are placed in large dishes to be sold for around 30-50 rupees ($0.40-$0.70) a plate.

This is the moment a kind Waffle House waitress is surprised with a college scholarship:

Kanta Prasad, who is visibly upset, is seen running a ladle through what appears to be a matar-paneer dish.

He was asked how much he had earned which was when he broke down and presented the blogger with the 10 rupees ($0.14) he had made following hours of work.

While the business had never exactly been hugely profitable, the coronavirus pandemic has made it practically impossible for the couple to make ends meet.

Moreover, Kanta Prasad and Badami Devi, who have two sons and a daughter, run the business all on their own, with reportedly no help from their three children.

However, the day after the upsetting video was uploaded (October 8), the name of their business, Baba Ka Dhaba, became one of the top trending subjects on Twitter in India.

Shortly after the video drew attention to the elderly couple's story, suddenly huge numbers of customers turned up at the kiosk:

The video in the original tweet currently has 4.6 million views, 169.7 likes, and 58.4k retweets at the time of writing.

Per NDTV, some of the individuals who tweeted in response to the video include actor Sonam Kapoor, cricketer R Ashwin, IPL team Delhi Capitals, and food delivery app Zomato.

Kanta Prasad has spoken about his gratitude for the local support of his and his wife's business, per NDTV.

A kind, elderly YouTuber, who was affectionately dubbed the Grandpa of Youtube (inspired by his YouTube handle Grandpa Kitchen), has died at the age of 73, as confirmed by a new video uploaded to his account.

Narayana Reddy from Telangana, India, made a name from himself on the video-sharing platform by documenting the process behind cooking large meals to feed orphans.

Since he started the channel back in 2017, Grandpa Kitchen has accumulated more than six million subscribers, with each video gaining millions of views.

Check out this classic Grandpa Kitchen video in which Narayana Reddy prepares a butter chicken dish for orphans:

"We entertain people by cooking food and donate the proceeds to charities. Our goal is to provide basic necessities like food, clothing, school supplies and birthday gifts to the orphans," the bio on Grandpa Kitchen reads.

Admired for his modest and simple approach to cooking, Reddy would use traditional firewood in order to make enough meals to feed the orphans who ultimately benefitted from the charitable deed.

Unfortunately, viewers will no longer be able to look forward to brand new content from the YouTuber as Reddy tragically passed away on Sunday, October 27 as the latest (and presumably last) video on his channel reveals.

Check out what will presumably be Narayana Reddy's very last video on his popular channel, Grandpa Kitchen:

Showcased in the video are his last moments and his funeral, which make for a heartbreaking watch. Particularly as a woman, thought to be his wife, can be seen crying by his bedside.

Last week, the 73-year-old grandpa who was visibly in ill health, made his final appearance on the channel in a live session. In the video, he gives his viewers updates on his health and the future of the channel.

News of his tragic death has understandably affected his millions of subscribers.

Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and followers.

A heartbreaking video is circulating online of a woman in China sitting by her husband's bedside as he takes his final breath, and her final words to him are heartbreaking.

Finding a partner for life is a blessing as having a teammate who supports you through thick and thin is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

Heading into later life is when the bickering might really start to heighten, but it just confirms the strength of a bond when even in old age, couples still put each other first.

A video is being shared online from the Chinese website Douyin that shows an 83-year-old woman sitting beside her 87-year-old husband's bedside as he passes away.

As per the South China Morning Post, during the video, the woman from the Tianjin municipality can be seen stroking her husband's hair whilst whispering her final words to him.

"Walk to the light. Don’t get lost," she encouraged her husband who lay unconscious following a battle with lung cancer. "Let go of everything. If it’s time to leave, let’s leave without regret," she finished.

As per the outlet, the touching moment was recorded by the couple's grandson, Yi. He later revealed that his grandmother remained strong throughout the day and that she wanted her husband to not suffer any longer.

Despite knowing that this would be the final time that she sat with her husband, the 83-year-old offered her long-time husband words of reassurance.

"Come home after your illness is cured. Let’s keep each other company for some more years and, at our 60th wedding anniversary, let’s ask our kids to hold a big party," she told him.

"I won’t come to visit you in the coming days. I will wait for you at home," she finished, which was enough to move everybody in the room to tears.

As per the South China Morning Post, people who viewed the video were also moved by what they had seen, as one person reportedly penned: "This is love. Despite how difficult it was for her to let go of him, she still hoped he would leave the world well."

A second added: "If my loved one would say these things to me when I was dying, I think I won’t be scared."

Further proof of how powerful love is, is a recent heartbreaking story of a woman passing away just hours after attending her husband's funeral.

Sara Nowak, 42, attended a funeral for her husband Louis on April 1 after he sadly passed away after a battle with cancer on March 19.

Just five hours after attending his funeral, Sara was involved in a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 106 just before 8:30 PM, as reported by ABC affiliate WKOW.

Sara's mother Patricia Cartwright told CBS affiliate WDJT-TV that her daughter "[Couldn't] without him (Louis). So, she is with him."
