On the 3rd of July, 2022, we published a story about a resident of New Amsterdam, Berbice seeing what looked like a ghost on the No. 19 road in Corentyne, Berbice, Region 6, Guyana, South America. In fact, the resident said she had seen the apparition three times over a period of several weeks, and on the third instance, she stopped, took out her phone, and snapped a photo (zoomed in and shown above).

Guyana’s National Flower, the Victoria Amazonica, has lost its record as the world’s largest water lily. Up to July, 2022, the Victoria Amazonica had boasted the title of the world’s largest water lily. However, a new water lily, called the Victoria Boliviana, has blown the Victoria Amazonica out the water and taken its spot as the world’s largest water lily.

A Guyanese resident has taken to social media to voice her dissatisfaction over the state of a roadway at Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Region 10, Guyana, South America. According to the resident, the road is in such bad condition that a taxi cannot traverse it, putting residents in much inconvenience. There is also a broken pipeline pouring water onto the sand road and she alleges that GWI has ignored her reports about it.
