Bigfoot
/ Sasquatch
Decendent of Goliath? The missing link? A hybrid
human alien gone all wrong? Or just a breed of crazy hippies?
At the top is a cell from one of the earliest known images of Sasquatch.
Is it athentic? It has never been proven to be fake. You decide! Bigfoot, or Sasquatch?
Myth, or marvel? Could this be what Darwin was talking about? Or is this a hoax manifested
by the devil in order to divert our attention from biblical truths?
Could this be the distant cousin to Sasquatch? Could it be
the other Bigfoot from the colder area's known as Yeti?
El Chupacabra - Means "the goat sucker"
in Spanish. Named because of the way it sucked all the blood from Puerto Rican goats, the
Chupacabra has been leaving fear in its tracks for many years now. First spotted in Puerto
Rico in 1947, the Chupacabra has since migrated off the island and has recently been
spotted in many locations including South America as well as the US (Texas, New Mexico).
Although it was named because of its choice of goat-blood as a meal, the Chupacabra has
reportedly attacked and devoured the blood of a wide variety of animals including dogs,
cows and sheep. As far as we know, there have yet to be any human fatalities.
Due to the distinct technique the strange animal has of killing its prey, it is very easy
to tell if the Chupacabra was involved in an animals death. Animals are found with
puncture wounds in their neck and most of their blood removed. Often, the victim's organs
have disappeared even though the only wound is a small hole in the animal's neck. Reports
of laser-like cuts on the victim's ears are also common.
Could this be linked to cattle mutilations? Although some people say they have seen the
Chupacabra's tracks, in many cases there are no signs of blood or tracks around the dead
animals.
Appearance: 
It is hard to describe the appearance of El Chupacabra because sightings greatly differ.
Most say it is either gray or green. Some say it has a large lizard-like tongue, others
say it has wings. A bipedal creature (one that stands upright like a human), the
Chupacabra has had many sightings where its height was reported to be anywhere from 3 and
6 feet tall. Some say it walks, some say it flies, and some say it has a kangaroo hop.
Where did it come from?
Like the descriptions of El Chupacabras'
appearance, people's ideas of its origin widely vary. Many say it's a new species, or a
relative to the panther. More eccentric scholars say it is a dinosaur or an alien. Another
theory is that there is a portal to another dimension that stretches from Puerto Rico
across to South America.
Could these be the
remains of El Chupacabra?
Mothman and the trail of
destruction.
In the months before the collapse of the Silver Bridge, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia was racked with bizarre events. There were over 100 sightings of the Mothman, UFOs of a wide variety, and disturbing olive-skinned men. Some felt the Mothman was there to warn them of something. But no one knew what until just before Christmas that year.
The Silver Bridge itself was an oddly constructed bridge, held up by an eyebar chain suspension. It was nearly 40 years old in 1967 and because of its construction the failure of even one link in the chain would cause the collapse of the entire bridge. This is exactly what happened on December 15, 1967, an event attributed to corrosion and simple age. The bridge was also under a great deal of strain due to heavier Christmas traffic but especially because a traffic light on one end of the bridge was malfunctioning. The cause of this malfunction was never determined.
On the evening of December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed in rush-hour traffic. Some forty-six people died in the disaster when their cars plunged into the ice-cold Ohio river just before sundown. It was the biggest disaster ever to hit Point Pleasant, a town of fewer than 6000 people.
One lucky survivor drove onto the bridge moments before the disaster. Explaining "an unshakable feeling that something wasn't right. I couldn't ignore it," she put her car in reverse and backed off the bridge, watching in horror as seconds later the bridge collapsed in front of her. Perhaps the Mothman, who had a special affinity for children, knew something she didn't - she was pregnant with twins.
Though some claim it was the steel of the bridge snapping, many reported seeing lights flashing in the darkening sky over the bridge just before it collapsed.
Chernobyl
In April 1986 a rumor was running the ranks of workers at a power plant in southern Ukraine. Almost a dozen different men and women had reported seeing unsettling and strangely similar things. Some had been having nightmares, some received threatening phone calls. At least 4 had actually seen the creature that everyone kept talking about - a huge dark man, headless, but with massive wings and glowing red eyes. That particular morning, however, rumors would have to wait. A routine test of Reactor 4 was scheduled to prepare for the event of a power loss. Officials were apparently worried about some disaster happening at the plant, having received several mysterious warnings, especially in the most recent few days. They wanted to be prepared for anything. Reactor 4 was known to be unstable at low power levels and when it went on generator power on the morning of April 26, 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded. 30 people were killed that morning, 10 more as a result of radiation exposure. The graphite of the reactor burned for 9 days - doing most of the radioactive damage to the area. And as helicopters circled, dropping 500 tons of sand, clay, lead and other chemicals on the fire, the surviving workers watched in disbelief as a huge 20 foot black bird circled in the smoke of the fire.
China
In 1926 one of the worst engineering disasters in history occurred in the southeastern foothills of China. There stood one of the largest dams in the world (though only the second largest in China) - the Xiaon Te Dam. The dam collapsed in the middle of the afternoon on January 19, 1926, sending over 40 billion gallons of water crashing over the peaceful farmland below. Over 15,000 people died as entire towns were demolished in the torrential flood. In other cases, houses were picked up and swept sometimes miles downstream completely intact. Of those that survived, nearly everyone had a story of either seeing or hearing about the black "man-dragon" who had appeared to victims of the disaster and around the doomed structure. Eyewitness accounts of this particular disaster are scarce because most newspaper records were destroyed when the Communist regime came to power in China.
