Abandoned bungalow filled with dolls and teddies leaves explorers horrified
Two explorers discovered an abandoned bungalow in the woods packed to the brim with teddy bears and dolls, but were so freaked out, one labelled it 'one of the most uncomfortable places' Explorers are often looking for their next adventure, uncovering deserted buildings, walking through abandoned theme parks, or making their way to secluded sites forgotten in time. This can lead to some rather spooky discoveries, but nothing compares to the forgotten home packed full of teddies and dolls, as two explorers found out. Mitch Johnson and Jake Parr claimed they had heard about the home of a woman who had hoarded toys after her husband had passed away. After later dying herself, the property was said to have been left abandoned, and her collection of toys remained untouched. The explorers reportedly spent four days using Google Maps to find the bungalow. They drove six and a half hours from Manchester to Selkirk, Scotland, and then walked for around an hour through the woods to where the property was said to be located. Unsure of whether they were able to get inside the bungalow, as they vow to never break in, they found a panel of the back door was missing and they entered through a gap, reports Kennedy News and Media. Inside, they found every room covered in cobwebs and packed to the brim with teddy bears and soft toys for a chilling discovery. "This was the creepiest place I've ever been to. I just could not wait to get out. I even sacrificed some pictures because I just didn't want to be in there," Mitch said. He continued: "It was literally a 50 minute trek to the house it was that remote. We were going through all this pine forest and we were hearing all sorts of noises and branches were snapping everywhere. "It was just the most bizarre place I've ever been and I've been all around the world doing this." A video was shared of their discovery on Mitch's Facebook page, No Limits, and he believes the toys were a sense of comfort for the wife who lived there after her husband reportedly died during the 80s. Mitch shared: "There were some real collectables in there, some really rare dolls. There were like 200 or 300 Cabbage Patch Dolls. Some of them are a grand each. "All the Care Bear teddies, all the Monsters Inc teddies. All the teddies you could imagine. It was just like a plethora of teddies. It was just mental. "It was dusty as well when you were in there you could taste how damp the place was so I don't know how she lived in there. It was a little unnerving as well because I kept thinking at any moment someone's going to pop out here. "You can only just walk into the bedroom, the rest of it was just teddies so it's like six feet deep." In addition to the cuddly toys, the husband's workshop was said to also remain untouched, with tools left where they were once in use. "It was probably one of the most uncomfortable places I've ever been to if I'm honest because I wasn't quite sure if there was anyone in the teddies. It felt like anyone was going to jump out at any opportunity, " Mitch confessed. "I felt like I was being watched. I couldn't wait to get out of there, I really couldn't. I spent six and a half hours driving and then maybe an hour trekking to it and I just couldn't wait to get out of the place. "I even ended up going and sitting outside while my mate was still taking his pictures." He added: "I've been to asylums and loads of places around the world on my own and this was the most scary place I have ever been in and there was just a weird vibe about it that didn't sit right at all." Mitch, 40, has now accumulated an impressive following of 51,000 on his urban exploring Facebook page, which he started in 2018. He also runs a YouTube channel and an Instagram account. Reflecting on his adventures, he shared: "It can be a bit of an emotional burden because I see that much, it just makes you realise that life is extremely short and the things you accumulate mean absolutely nothing. It's your memories that mean something."

NBA／馬刺與聯盟協商 波波維奇中風後77戰勝負歸給新教頭強森
聖安東尼奧馬刺傳奇總教練波波維奇（Gregg Popovich）的生涯執教戰績近日獲得正式調整。根據《美聯社》記者雷諾茲（Tim Reynolds）報導，NBA聯盟與馬刺隊共同協商後，將波波維奇自去年11月因中風暫時離隊後的77場比賽自其紀錄中移除，將其總戰績定格為1390勝824敗。 The NBA has adjusted all-time wins leader Gregg Popovich's career record as coach of the San Antonio Spurs, removing the 77 games that he missed last season and crediting those wins and losses to new Spurs coach Mitch Johnson. — Washington Times Sports (@WashTimesSports) 2025年7月2日 這項修正是根據波波維奇2023年11月2日因健康因素中止執教職務時的數據，當時他已是NBA歷史上最多勝教練。儘管這次調整不會影響聯盟紀錄冊的內容，但波波維奇的勝率從原本的0.621微幅上升至0.628，在所有至少執教400場比賽的教練中高居第七。 波波維奇現年76歲，今年5月2日正式宣佈辭去總教練一職，轉任馬刺全職籃球營運總裁。馬刺隨後任命由其助理教練強森（Mitch Johnson）升任總教練，後者在去年球季接手後繳出32勝45敗的戰績。 BREAKING: Gregg Popovich will no longer be Head Coach of the San Antonio Spurs and is transitioning full-time to Team President, sources told ESPN. The iconic Popovich is a Basketball Hall of Famer, the NBA's all-time winningest coach, and led the Spurs to five championships. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) 2025年5月2日 「我對這項運動的熱情從未改變，但我知道現在是時候退下教練職務了，」波波維奇在馬刺聲明中表示。「能夠長年擔任馬刺總教練，是一段我永遠珍惜的經歷。未來我將以不同身份，持續支持這支深植我心的球隊與城市。」 這並非NBA首度對總教練戰績進行修正。1979–80賽季，湖人原總教練麥金尼（Jack McKinney）因騎車事故提前離隊，後由跑轟戰術大師威斯海德（Paul Westhead）接掌球隊，並獲得50勝18敗的佳績。最終聯盟將該賽季68場比賽的戰績全數歸於威斯海德名下。 波波維奇執教馬刺長達28個賽季，曾率隊奪下五座NBA總冠軍，並以其嚴謹管理風格與球員培養制度聞名於世。他在NBA的影響力將持續延續，即便不再坐鎮場邊。 更多udn報導 中職／大方認愛兄弟啦啦隊啾啾？陳晨威回好友：為你挑ju字輩 中職／淚灑新莊後李珠珢19日明星賽首現身 7月還有2場大巨蛋 MLB／大谷翔平轟白襪實在太強 從天使到道奇幾乎平均2戰1轟 NBA／中場表演「大媽」出事了！人不慎摔落坐輪椅退場

NBA adjusts record of all-time wins leader Gregg Popovich
July 2 - Gregg Popovich's all-time record for coaching victories is now 32 smaller. The NBA adjusted Popovich's record after he missed the last 77 games of the 2024-25 season due to a stroke. The Spurs went 32-45 in those games, coached by Mitch Johnson. Popovich, who relinquished his head-coaching duties after the season, now has a 1,390-824 record. He's still the record-holder by 55 wins over Don Nelson (1,335). Johnson served as the interim coach after Popovich stepped aside five games into the season due to his health issues. The Spurs named Johnson the full-time coach when the 76-year-old Popovich stepped away to become a team president. Popovich has won five NBA titles during his Hall of Fame head coaching career that began in 1996-97 with the Spurs. He guided San Antonio to an NBA record 18 straight 50-win seasons. The streak was snapped with a 47-35 record in 2017-18. --Field Level Media

NBA adjusts Gregg Popovich's career record, crediting Mitch Johnson with 77 Spurs games from '24-25
The NBA has adjusted all-time wins leader Gregg Popovich's career record as coach of the San Antonio Spurs, removing the 77 games that he missed last season and crediting those wins and losses to new Spurs coach Mitch Johnson. Popovich's final record has been reset to 1,390-824, which is where it was entering a game on Nov. 2. That was the day that Popovich had a stroke at the team's arena in San Antonio and Johnson, one of his assistant coaches, took over as acting coach. Popovich missed the remainder of the season and Johnson coached the final 77 games, going 32-45. The NBA and the Spurs agreed that it made sense to remove those games from Popovich's record and credit them to Johnson, who was named head coach when Popovich announced his retirement earlier this year. 'While my love and passion for the game remain, I've decided it's time to step away as head coach,' Popovich said when revealing that decision. He remains in place as Spurs president and is still around the franchise as much as he can. It is not unprecedented for the NBA to adjust win-loss totals. The NBA made a similar decision regarding the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1979-80 season; Jack McKinney was head coach and was seriously injured in a bicycle accident in November, which led to Paul Westhead taking over on an interim basis. Westhead was eventually hired as head coach; the NBA credits McKinney with a 10-4 record that year and Westhead with going 50-18. The revised numbers do little to affect the NBA record books. Popovich remains the winningest coach in league history, 53 wins ahead of Don Nelson's 1,335 victories. Popovich's winning percentage goes up slightly from .621 to .628, which — among coaches with 400 games — is seventh in NBA history behind Phil Jackson, Billy Cunningham, K.C. Jones, Red Auerbach, Steve Kerr and Pat Riley. ___ AP NBA:
