A Vietnamese man dug up his wife’s body, molded it with clay into a female figure and put it in his bed so he could hug it every night for the past five years.
The man, 55-year-old Le Van from Ha Lam in the central Quang Nam province, is seen below with his wife’s remains and his son.
According to reports, Van began by sleeping upon his wife’s grave after she died in 2003. He said that a year and a half later he decided to dig a tunnel next to his wife’s grave so he could sleep beside her away from the rain and wind.
However, neighbors and local authorities found out about the practice and persuaded Van to stop. Subsequently in November 2004 Van returned to the grave, dug up his wife’s corpse and brought it home, where it remains today.
Van’s son, photographed below with his mother’s corpse, is said to hug her body before going to bed each night.
His father told the Lao Dong newspaper that his neighbours dared not visit him for years, but have since grown more accustomed to the idea and will now pay him a visit from time to time.
“I’m a person that does things differently. I’m not like normal people,” he was quoted as saying. “My wife’s body only passed away but her spirit still accompanies us. I have no fear when it comes to sleeping with her at all.”
Local authorities are said to be planning an inspection of the case because of new sanitation laws that rule a body must be cremated or buried, and that burials cannot be carried out in residential gardens without approval.

Robots have been in our world for more than half a century years in one form or another. They are known to perform a variety of tasks including: waking, talking, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, serving food, rescuing trapped disaster victims and a myriad of other small accomplishments that get more and more intricate as the cold hand of technology progresses.
But have things gone a bit too far when a Chinese company has unveiled a sex robot that can recognize and talk with its owner?
While many will shake their heads vigorously, clearly indicating no, there is a growing trend in China and in the United States as well for sex robots, a step up from sex dolls.
The Love Sex Company is the creator of the robot, which sells for £3,000 (more than US $5,000). Their marketing strategy is geared to affluent executives whose agendas are too full for them to find the time to meet “real” women.
The robot stands 5 feet, 5inches tall and has been constructed on a metal skeleton. The skin and muscles look real because they are made of silicon gel. The face and figure are customized to satisfy the predilections of the buyer, and advanced programming techniques permit facial recognition and the ability of the robot to speak in a variety of languages.
Even more incredible is the remote control aspects of the sex robot. It can take up different sexual positions and some body parts can even be programmed to shake!
The robot was recently exhibited at the Sex Culture Exhibition in Xi’an, capital of western China’s Shanxi Province where it drew many curious onlookers.
The bizarre fetish is also growing in America as evidenced by the video below.
One forum member joked that if it could double as a maid, he might consider buying one, but the significance of this trend is deeply disturbing, for it brings to the surface something much deeper, darker and psychologically misunderstood.

24 states have no vision exam required to renew a license, and 44 will renew the license of a senior driver online, or from mail. With so many senior drivers on the roads in the US, you may be wondering if it’s like this all over the world. In fact, some countries are more lenient, and others much more strict, than the US. With the number of senior drivers expected to increase from 13% to nearly 30% over the next 20 years, it may be time for law reforms – or at least amendments to car insurance plans. What do you think?
