This is a fresh one today but is already spreading fast! Todays viral comes from The Cresent at Portstewart courtesy of Ocean Warriors (the local surf shop). Just an example of how quickly our weather can turn and how ferocious it can be! Post by Ocean Warriors.

North·ern Vi·raland Noun A made up term to discribe viral content from (Northern) Ireland It's 1 week to Halloween and so starts our countdown to the big day! We start out with with Northern Viraland and this week it's this creepy little picture that been doing the rounds. This was a picture taken by a guest who was on a Paranormal Tour of the Crumlin Road Gaol just recently. You can see the small form of a ghostly child running around...or maybe not. I'm not one to believe in all these Ghost and Ghoulish goings on but I am going to the other attraction that Belfast Ghost Tours are running at the Gaol this Halloween - the Jail of Horror - and I have to say that this is making me brick it just a little more! The picture has more than 1000 likes and has been shared over 600 times, no mean feat! The guys over at Belfast Ghost Tours have all sorts of tours around Belfast as well, that you can find out about here. A big thanks to them for letting us use the picture.

North·ern Vi·raland Noun A made up term to discribe viral content from (Northern) Ireland Anyone will know that in the past few months, little Hannah Montana has evolved into a fully grown Miley Cyrus and is celebrating by asserting all of her new found feminine whiles all at once (by swinging around naked on a wrecking ball and licking things, a lot). But what has this got to do with our beautiful little land mass, I hear you ask! Well, Ireland's favourite controversial singer- song writer Sinead O'Connor has offered the troubled star a word of advice, in the form of two open letters (yes, two). These letters have been all over the media, purely because the whole thing is so absurd. Here's an extract of the first letter: "The music business doesn’t give a sh– about you, or any of us. They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted.. and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, “they” will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone." Sinead is currently on her 5th open letter that You can read right here here. Might be easier to check out this mash-up for wrecking ball and Nothing Compares to you.

I'm 20 years old, studying Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. vi·ral /ˈvīrəl/ Noun An image, video, advertisement, etc. that is circulated rapidly on the Internet. North·ern Vi·raland Noun A made up term to discribe viral content from (Northern) Ireland Welcome to Northern Viraland! We finally thought up a new name for this feature (well actually it was my cousin Jenny, HI JENNY) and it's a bit convoluted but meh, we're sticking with it. This weeks Viral is a pretty long one, 19 mins to be exact. A Canadian couple spent 3 weeks on this fair Isle for their honeymoon and took over 16 hours of footage, basically travelling from one end to the other taking in all the sights and sounds along the way. The NI/Irish tourist board couldn't do a job half as good at making this place look class and if you're reading this abroad CAUTION it may make you pretty homesick. It's worth the 19 minutes to watch, enjoy! Who posted this? Chris Caldwell
