There have been at least six sightings in Newcastle alone in the past week. In each case, people dressed as clowns burst from bushes and chased startled pedestrians down streets. Megan Bell, a 17-year-old girl with a 'lifelong fear of clowns', was walking home in the city at around 8pm when she says she was accosted by a man in a clown costume and mask who briefly chased her after she panicked and ran away screaming. In another incident, Northumbria police arrested a teenager whose alleged possession of a knife suggests this was more than a cruel prank. In other cases, the perpetrators have been wielding bats.

Dr Jeroen Ensink (left) was stabbed to death by Femi Nandap (inset) as he left his flat in Islington, north London, to post cards announcing the birth of his daughter Fleur 10 days before. When the renowned academic failed to return, his wife, Nadja, went outside to find police had cordoned off the street and the cards her husband had been carrying strewn on the pavement spattered with blood. Mrs Ensink-Teich (right) today demanded an independent investigation into failings by both the mental health service and legal system.

The debate night that will be discussed for generations in Political Science classes - and Women's Studies seminars - ended with Republican Donald Trump landing more punches than Democrat Hillary Clinton, and successfully deflecting attention successfully away from a two-day-old crisis about graphic sexual language that threatened to derail his White House bid.

Donald Trump took the gloves off 90 minutes before Sunday night's debate against Hillary Clinton, holding a meeting with four ghosts from Bill Clintons' sexual past - and letting a handful of unsympathetic reporters in to hear them speak. Trump introduced his coalition of the willing - Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathy Shelton and Paula Jones - in St. Louis as a press pool snapped shutters and reporters shouted questions about a new audio recording of Trump saying vulgar things about women 11 years ago. Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing home administrator who has accused Bill Clinton of forcibly raping her when he was the state's attorney general, said that 'actions speak louder than words. Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me. And Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don't think there's any comparison.'

The footage, shot in America, reveals the youngster and a man - whose connection to the her parents is unknown - trying in vain to wake them up as they are slumped out in the living room. Dressed in a tie dye T-shirt, the mother can be seen in a close-up shot at the start of the video completely spaced out, unable to look at the camera as her daughter attempts to bring her round. The father can be seen curled up on the floor, slowly rocking backwards and forwards but completely oblivious to what is going on around him.

Cilla Ward, 29, from Dublin, had no idea she was pregnant by a man she had been dating in secret. When the relationship ended about three months earlier, she'd thought nothing more of it. She enjoyed being single and often went out partying with her friends. As she partied most weekends, when she spent a few days feeling out of sorts, she put it down to a bad hangover (pictured right while three months pregnant). She went into labour in her bedroom at home - but still had no idea what was happening. Her mother, Anna, rushed her to hospital, where they found a heartbeat. Despite being four weeks early, Dollyanna weighed a healthy 6lb 2oz (inset) and had a thick head of dark, black hair. Pictured left together now.

But these hilarious photos  show that the supposedly terrifying canines intended to scare off potential burglars may not be so dangerous.

The researchers uncovered floor surfaces from AD 79, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens. Pictured are two examples (left to right) of the appearance of what the house could have looked like, based on photographs and 3D scanning.

Mahendra Ahirwar, 13, was born with a rare condition that made his neck muscles so weak that his head hung at a 180-degree angle. Mahendra's life was a nightmare as he was restricted to sitting and couldn't stand or work. He needed help with eating and going to the toilet. His mother told MailOnline she could no longer bear to see him suffering. But Mahendra's life was transformed after a mother of two living 4,000 miles away in the UK read of his plight and launched a crowd funding page to raise £12,000 for surgery to straighten his neck. The boy's father Mukesh said: 'He looks great. His neck is straight. His life is so very different.'

Angelina Jolie has moved into a mansion in the one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the world - which is so private you can't even see it on Google Street View. The actress, 41, moved her six children from Malibu into a new rental costing $30,000 a month in Hidden Hills, a gated community in Los Angeles County, California. There, her new neighbors read like a who's who of Hollywood - including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Drake and Jennifer Lopez. Jolie's new pad boasts more than 8,000 square feet of living space as well as two beach-entry pools, a cascading waterfall and an 800 square foot cabana. But it's the privacy that makes property in Hidden Hills so sought after by celebrities - and likely the reason Jolie, who recently made headlines after filing for divorce from husband Brad Pitt, picked it.

If you're a crime writer struggling for inspiration with a spare £2.5million, then this house could be just the ticket. The pretty three-bedroom former home (pictured) of author PD James (inset) in Kensington, West London, is now on the market. She wrote many of her early novels at the Victorian townhouse which is a short walk from Kensington Palace. The house was built in the 1830s as a tied cottage for the palace and has retained many period features. The palace's chief bricklayer lived there in the 1930s and 40s and there are stepped flower beds in the garden. They were built by him as a vegetable garden during the Second World War. Phyllis Dorothy James wrote her first Adam Dalgliesh novels on a Remington typewriter at the home in the 1960s.

A thin strip of land in Afghanistan, known as the Wakhan corridor, has remained largely untouched by the Taliban and the US Army, with villagers having little idea of the invasion or war. The Wakhi people live a simple life with their livestock on the rough terrain in desolate countryside, pictured main. Photographer Eric Lafforgue visited the little-known lands amid encouragements from the Afghan government to attract tourists, but he found himself alone in choosing the area as a holiday destination. Pictured inset left, two Afghan men sip soup from a bowl, and right, a Wakhi woman in a pink headscarf.

It is unknown where the footage as filmed.

A decadent, eight-bedroom mansion with its own water park in the backyard is hitting the market for $32million. You'd be forgiven for thinking the manor was owned by a European lord in the French countryside, but the Dallas, Texas, estate was the mastermind of Richard Malouf, who made a fortune straightening the teeth of children across the state. The dentist combined two homes, priced at $10,500,000 and $6,975,000 to create this jaw-dropping estate, complete with 18 bathrooms, a 10-car garage, and walk-in-closets that would put Carrie Bradshaw's extensive shoe collection to shame. While the exterior (inset) is a pure fairy tale vision with its manicured lawns, extended driveway and multi-tiered fountain, the lush interiors also make space for endless entertainment.
