«Breaking News» The oddest traditions from around the world revealed 

They range from the risky to the heart-warming - but what they have in common is that they're all very strange. To outsiders, at least.


Here we present some of humanity's most downright baffling traditions. Some, such as the Busojaras festival in Hungary, where locals dress up as woollen monsters, go back centuries, others date back a handful of decades - like the annual mooning-at-Amtrak-trains festival.


They're all fascinating, though - more so because the people that participate in them do so with such fervour. Scroll down and revel in the weirdness. 


Busójárás, Hungary

The festival is said to scare away winter. But another legend says it originates from when villagers dressed as grotesque monsters to scare off the invading Turkish army in the Battle of Mohács in 1526

During the month of February people in the Hungarian town of Mohács don woollen horned monster outfits and take to the streets. 

Lasting for six days, the vibrant Busójárás festival sees a man made of straw set alight on a bonfire, with some saying this represents scaring away winter.


The Unesco cultural heritage festival is also said to pay homage to a legend that claims villagers dressed as grotesque monsters to scare off the invading Turkish army in the Battle of Mohács in 1526.

Each July, hundreds of music-loving snorkelers and divers hold an underwater concert at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.


They duck under the water to pretend to jam on mock guitars or play other fake musical instruments.


During the four-hour music session, popular songs that are played include the theme from The Little Mermaid, the Beatles' Yellow Submarine and Jimmy Buffett's Fins. 


Carnival of Binche, Belgium




Thousands of men and boys dress in wax masks and wooden shoes during the Carnival of Binche in Belgium leading up to Ash Wednesday

The Carnival of Binche is held in the Belgian town each year on the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday leading up to Ash Wednesday.


It sees up to 1,000 men and boys dressed as 'Gilles' taking to the streets in vibrant dress, with wax masks and wooden footwear.


The celebration dates back to the 14th century and has been listed by Unesco as a 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity'.

To mark a safe and successful year at sea, the Greasy Pole celebration has taken place annually since 1927 in Gloucester, Massachusetts.


It sees fisherman in the Italian community try to clamber along a pole sticking out into the harbour that is coated with the likes of axle grease and banana skins.


The aim is to grab an Italian flag waiting at the end of the pole. The failure rate is high. 


The Baby Jumping Festival, Spain

In this bizarre Spanish tradition, one-year-olds are laid out on the ground so a man meant to symbolise the devil can jump over them.


It takes place in the village of Castrillo de Murcia, near Burgos, where it is thought that as the 'devil' leaps over the babies, he takes away any evil lurking in them.


It is the culmination of a four-day celebration after the Corpus Christi feast in June.

At the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, every morning a parade of ducks makes its way to the fountain in the lobby in a procession dating back almost 90 years.


They are guided by a hotel employee known as the duck master who at 5pm each day shows them back to their home on the hotel's roof. 


Both parades draw a big crowd comprising guests both young and old.

The three-day food fight using oranges in the small northern Italian city of Ivrea takes place each February.


The city is said to bring in 57,000 crates, or 400 tons worth, of oranges from southern Italy that would otherwise be thrown away for use in the famous battle.


Its origins are unclear but the festival is said to have stemmed from the 19th century when rebellious commoners threw away food the feudal lord had given them.

Dozens of people descend on the Californian city of Laguna Niguel each July to 'moon' at passing trains.


Participants are encouraged to drop their trousers when Amtrak or Metrolink trains pass by on their journeys both north and south.


The bizarre tradition started in 1979 when a customer at the nearby Mugs Away Saloon dared his buddy to drop his dacks as the next train approached. The wager was a free drink.

Each Easter, locals in the Honduran city of Comayagua spill out into the street to create elaborate artwork using coloured sawdust.


The designs are usually intricately detailed and wonderfully coloured.


The tradition only started in 1963, when a local woman created a sawdust carpet showing a lamb outside the city cathedral to commemorate the inauguration of a new bishop.

The Goose Pulling Festival, Spain

In one of the more gruesome traditions, horse riders in Spain compete to try and yank the head off a dead goose suspended to a wire.


The St. James Festival is held in the village of El Carpio de Tajo in the province of Toledo. The strange spectacle originated as a military training exercise in the Middle Ages as the Spanish fought to liberate their homeland from Muslim conquerors.


In the past, horsemen would attempt to decapitate a live goose, but it was deemed unnecessarily cruel so dead animals were phased in.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
