A woman has claimed to have spotted her late husband who passed away in 2014 in a promotional video for an Indian restaurant - despite the eatery claiming it was filmed just two weeks ago.

Spice Cottage in West Sussex, UK, posted a video on their social media channels as they looked to promote their restaurant, serving Indian cuisine.

But it wasn't the food that got people talking, but the customers within the restaurant that intrigued viewers, who then flooded the comments.

Lucy Watson was left very confused by the video, after she claimed to have seen her late husband in the footage, despite the restaurant claiming it was filmed recently.

"How old is the footage? My late husband and his son are on the first shot and he died in 2014?", Lucy questioned, presumably taken aback.

Spice Cottage responded by saying: "Hi Lucy Watson, sorry to hear this. This footage was recorded last week [two weeks at the time of writing]."

The restaurant posted the footage with the caption: "New year, new mood!  For the last few weeks, we’ve been working hard to make our dining experience even more memorable. Join us for a perfect blend of exquisite flavours, with classical and unique dishes inspired by ancient family recipes."

Facebook users are desperate to get to the bottom of things, with some even claiming that it could all be a publicity stunt by the restaurant - which if true, seems to have worked a treat.

One internet sleuth said: "Noticed the woman in question only has a few friends on her page so could more than likely just be a troll post, but I feel invested now."

A second commented: "This whole ‘Lucy’ story is a social media marketing genius move [...] how many likes and clicks is this restaurant now getting!"

There has been no update from Lucy or the restaurant about the alleged sighting of her late husband, which fuels the fire of the claim that it could all be a stunt.

A third person added their frustration at not having further information: "Nah because you really need to come back here and give the people some more information. This is a social media crime."

Amongst the Indian food-related jokes (about people spotting their late "naan" in the footage or the man in question having been in a "korma" this whole time) and claims it could all be a marketing tool, people are desperate to know the truth behind the bizarre story.

Let's hope more information comes out soon!

A family whose loved one went missing 56 years ago in a pub restroom has finally got answers to the mystery.In January 1967, Alfred Swinscoe, 54, was last seen at the Miners Arms pub in Pinxton, Nottinghamshire, UK.After telling his son to buy a round of drinks at 10:30PM, he stepped outside to use the toilet and was never seen again, per the Express.For years, speculation swirled that Alfred, recently separated from his wife, had abandoned his family.However, his son Gary - who was the last person to see him alive - never believed this theory, holding onto the hope that his father might still return.Gary passed away in 2012 without ever knowing the truth.A shocking discovery in 2022 would finally bring some resolution.While browsing social media, Alfred’s grandson, Russell Lowbridge, stumbled upon a police post about human remains found in a field.To his astonishment, he recognized one of the socks on the body as belonging to his grandfather.“I suddenly remembered as a kid putting on my granddad's sock and pulling them up so the heel came right up to my knee," Russell recalled, per the Mirror."I called the police, and they came to take a DNA swab. That’s when we found out that it really was Alfred. I was shocked and flabbergasted.”The remains, buried six feet deep in a farmer’s field near Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts, were discovered by chance when the farmer dug a ditch.The skeleton, still carrying pre-decimal coins in its pockets, bore signs of a brutal murder, with blunt force trauma to the head and sharp force trauma to the jaw.“They said he fought for his life. There were signs of a broken hand, as if he’d given somebody a good right hook," Russell said.He continued: "And they found trauma to his ribs and his back, as if he'd been grappling with someone and they'd been punching him in the ribs.”Police believe Alfred’s body was left exposed for over a week before being buried, with signs that animals had scavenged parts of the remains.“Whoever killed him went back to make sure he was never found,” Russell added.The discovery marked a major breakthrough in a case that had been cold for more than 50 years.But while the inquest into Alfred's death has been adjourned and the police investigation has slowed, Russell is making a public plea for information before the case is closed for good.Police have identified two potential suspects, one of whom was present at the Miners’ Arms on the night Alfred disappeared.Known for violence, this individual had previously assaulted others, leading investigators to consider his possible involvement in the murder. However, both suspects have since died, preventing authorities from interrogating them.Russell recalled family suspicions about one of the suspects: "My uncle had always suspected him. He’d been in battles with him before and always thought he was the prime suspect."But Russell is less convinced about the second suspect, saying: "I can't bring myself to believe that he was also involved."In January 2023, Alfred’s family laid him to rest in Sutton-in-Ashfield cemetery, buried alongside his son Gary and his wife Caroline, who never remarried after his disappearance."It's some comfort for the family to know he didn't abandon them, and that he's not lost anymore," said Russell."But it’s so tragic that poor Uncle Gary never got to find out what happened to him."Featured image credit: Mykola Romanovskyy/Getty

An employee at American casual dining chain Chili’s is now leading the search for the family of a man whose remains were discovered outside her restaurant last Sunday. Elizabeth Confer, who works in the Niagara Falls region of upstate New York, was arriving for her shift when she spotted a box labelled “Edwin Karkos” near the entrance. She soon realised that the box was filled with cremated human ashes.

According to a report by Fox News, both Confer and her manager contacted the local police department, who have requested that anyone with information concerning the ashes come forward so that Karkos’ family can be contacted. The director of a nearby, no defunct funeral home, whose label was attached to the box, has also been reportedly been contacted by police.

In addition to the efforts of local law enforcement, Confer herself is lending a hand. Taking to social media, she issued a plea for information on behalf of the family, writing:

“I’m seeing if any of my friends on here know the family of a guy who passed away about 7 years ago I came to work today and found a box of ashes of any one knows a guy or family of EDWIN KARKOS to please get ahold of me and I can get them to the ashes ! I know the day he passed away to confirm if need be. Please feel free to comment share and help me find them! This post is public so hopefully the family can see this. Thank you for helping”

Speaking to Fox News about the discovery of Mr Karkos’ remains, Confer revealed that, "I happened to see it when I was walking in, you could not miss it or what was written on it," before adding, "I hope that the family will get the box back and find out who actually left it." Though Confer claims to have been put in contact with a few promising leads, the investigation remains, for now at least, ongoing.

In a shocking story, a dead body believed to be that of a former employee has been found inside an Arby's restaurant freezer in Louisiana.

It was reported that another employee had stumbled over the gruesome scene at the New Iberia restaurant located 130 miles west of New Orleans at approximately 6:30 PM while on shift, TMZ reports.

Sergeant Daesha Hughes spoke to The US Sun, revealing further details about the incident.

"The New Iberia Police Department responded to the business of Arby's located on East Admiral Doyle Drive at approximately 6:20 PM in reference to a body found inside of a freezer," Hughes said. "The death is suspicious and being investigated."

However, while the incident was initially described as "suspicious" as per local news outlet KLFY TV, it seems as though after some further investigation that it could have actually been accidental.

Speaking to KADN TV Police Capt. Leland Laseter said: "A situation like this is unusual, so we're taking extra precautions during the investigation."

He also added: "[We] pretty much have completed our process at the crime scene. After completely processing the crime scene... this does not seem like a homicide, it seems like an accident."

As of right now, an investigation is underway to confirm the identity of the deceased.

"We're going to re-examine all the evidence ... and they're going to conduct an autopsy to give us the cause and manner of death. So there are a few more steps that we need to take before a [final] determination is made," Laseter said.

As per Fox News, police have interviewed several employees who work at the restaurant but so far, no suspects have been named.

They say that love never dies. For one Australian woman, this transpired to be the case after she ran into her ex in a local restaurant, despite being told that he had been murdered two years earlier.

Rachel, whose last name has been withheld, was even told by her partner’s mother that he had been slain by a bike gang before their paths crossed at the eatery. Needless to say, she was slightly surprised at the turn of events.

Rachel relayed her story to ABC News, where she revealed that she had met then 21-year-old “Alistair” at a pub where they were both employed.  As she told reporters, at the start of the relationship, "He was really attentive, nice, like really not odd. I think that's what's relevant."

About three months into the budding relationship, Alistair acquired a serious hand injury that left him unable to work, and requested around $1,000 from Rachel in order to keep his head above water. She agreed, and lent him the money. When they broke up a few months later, Alistair paid back about $300 of the full amount. This, however, was when things started to spiral.

Soon Alistair stopped responding to Rachel’s request for the rest of the money. In a matter of weeks, he had vanished from the house they had been sharing, taking his belongings with him. As Rachel explained, "Furniture was gone, bed was gone, everything was gone."

After Rachel spoke to Alistair’s other friends, it became clear that she wasn’t his only creditor. From what they told her, Rachel gathered that he owed about $2,200 in “informal personal debt.” As she put it, "The moment we went 'OK, he owes everyone money', the anxiety and urgency of the situation ramped up. The story was falling apart really, really quickly."

However, just when her suspicions reached their peak, Rachel received a call from Alistair’s mother. According to her, Alistair had just been killed by a group of biker thugs to whom he also owed money. Rachel was shocked, but didn’t question the story.

As she explained, "It sounds stupid in retrospect, but you don't have any reason to question it. If I called you and told you my mum died, you wouldn't be like, 'give me a death certificate'." Sad and startled, Rachel elected to “grieve in her own way and move on”.

Two years after Alistair’s “passing”, Rachel found herself sitting in a local restaurant. Suddenly, she remembered that Alistair’s brother worked there. As she recalls, she spoke to a waitress and said, “I haven't seen him in ages, and I'd like to say hi”. It was when the waitress returned to the table to tell them that, though the brother wasn’t at work, Alistair was. 

Understandably shocked, Rachel requested that the waitress ask Alistair to come out and see her. As she stated, "Next thing I know, manager's over [to ask] 'is there a problem here?'" after which he asked her and her friend to leave the premises. 

Unsure what to do, Rachel decided to call the police. However, law enforcement officials informed her that “...it was basically my word against his that I’d ever give him money” and that there was very little that could be done. Despite calling the restaurant again, demanding to speak to Alistair, she was unable to make contact. She even received a second call from Alistair’s mother, telling her that the “scene” she had made had cost her previously dead son his job. Reluctantly, Rachel eventually gave up hope of receiving justice.

Incredibly, however, the story did not end there. Several years after the near-run-in at the restaurant, Rachel was eating at another business in town, when Alistair appeared once again. Though still startled, this time, she wasn’t going to let him get away. 

She recalled that, “We made eye contact, and you could see he recognized me.” She remembers saying, “Long time no see!” before Alistair responded, “Oh, yeah, it has been a long time.”

Despite the awkwardness, she was still able to fire off a question about the money, but he almost immediately beat a hasty retreat. It just goes to show that you can’t always take people at their word where money’s concerned - even if it involves death.
