How about the time an angry otter terrorized locals in County Clare?Thinkstock

Over the last six years we've covered some jaw-dropping, strange and wonderful stories. Some of them have been funny, some absolutely amazing and other simply unimaginable.

Here we've put together our most unique stories, from conjoined twins who share a brain to a killer otter who terrorized an Irish village. Though we might not like to admit it, the popularity of these stories proves that everybody loves these amazingly odd tales.

1. Police used ice cream music to embarrass teen rioters in Belfast

Nursery rhymes set to music are deeply uncool. Just ask the bottle-throwing teenagers on the Twinbrook estate on outskirts of west Belfast. Ice cream music was played to them as they misbehaved and it stopped them.

'An officer used the vehicle's loudspeaker system to play music to the youths in an effort to use humor to defuse the situation. The youths stopped throwing the bottles. However police accept that this was not an appropriate action. The officer has been spoken to by a senior officer in order to establish the circumstances of the incident.'

2. Canadian Irish conjoined twins likely share the same mind

Conjoined four-year-old Irish Canadian twins, Krista and Tatiana Hogan, are making scientific history. The sisters from British Columbia share a mind.

From the very beginning doctors noticed something strange about the girls. When one was being pricked with a needle the other’s face would be a mirror image or her sister’s; wincing and bursting into tears. One pacifier in one of the baby’s mouths would sooth them both.

A similar situation arose in County Mayo in 2009. The video the bull rampaging through the SuperValu supermarket went viral.

6. Locals flee from angry otter in County Clare village
