Paging Chucky. Creepy dolls are mysterious­ly popping up around a small Missouri town — freaking out residents and baffling cops.

Some of the toys were placed headless in outdoor spots around Festus, and others were staged to appear to be crying, leaning against poles and lying dead on the side of a road. He’s dumb as dirt. A Florida man used a front-end loader to dump a huge pile of topsoil on his girlfriend’s shiny white Cadillac, cops allege.

Hunter Mills, 20, was so mad at his gal pal for refusing to answer a question, he allegedly unleashed the mud bomb on her ride in Okaloosa County.

The woman’s car window was open at the time and her ride suffered $8,000 in damages. Mills was charged with criminal mischief.

A single serpent sparked a large- scales blackout in Kentucky when it slithered into an electrical transforme­r.

The rat snake knocked out power in an entire Brandenbur­g neighborho­od for more than 24 hours, according to the Meade County Rural Electric Cooperativ­e, which snapped a photo of the snake.

The rogue reptile may have had its sights on a bird’s nest near the device.

His dance moves are really old school.

Archaeolog­ists unearthed a buzzworthy discovery under a home in Israel — a massive ancient winery dating back to the Crusades.

The find came after a woman living near the 12thcentur­y ruins of a castle in Mi’ilya asked diggers to check out her property, too.

It was the area’s largest winery at the time.
