The Chupacabras
The Chupacabras is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the America. The first reported attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico. In this attack, 8 sheeps were discovered dead, each with 3 puncture wounds in the chest area and completely drained with blood. A few months later, in August, an eyewitness reported seeing the creature in the Puerto Rican town, when as many as 150 farm animals and pets were reported died. In 1975 similar killings in the small towns of Moca had also accured. It was suspected that the killings were committed by a Satanic cult, later more killings were reported around the island, and many farms reported farms reported loss of animal life. Each of the animals had their body completely covered in dry blood. After these events had happened more animal death were reported from other countries.
The most common description of chupacabras is a reptile-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines running down its back. This form stands approximately 1 to 1.2 m high, and stands and hops in a similar way to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature was reported to hop 6 m. This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs. It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a sulfuric stench. When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabras' eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea.
Another description of chupacabras, although not as common, describes a strange breed of wild dog. This form is mostly hairless, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. It is claimed that this breed might be an example of a dog-like reptile. Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabras is said to drain all of the animal's blood (and sometimes organs) usually through three holes in the shape of an upside-down triangle or through one or two holes.
The Bunyip
Aboriginal legend has it that the Bunyip is a creature that lurks in swamps, creeks, waterholes and riverbeds. The Bunyip emerges at night time, often with terrifying cries and blood curdling screams. They devour any animal or human venturing near their home, it is said that women are their favourite prey, most likely because they are more defenceless.
There is no absolute description of Bunyips recorded. They have varied from animal to spirit form. Often the Bunyip has been described as a gorilla-type animal, varying to half human half animal and also as a spirit. The shape, size and colour of the Bunyip varies as much as it's description. Some have reported seeing the Bunyip similar to a fish, with the Bunyip having scales, another with fur. Some have reported it as having fur, others with feathers. One witness reported seeing the Bunyip as similar to an Elephant, even down to the trunk. One report states the Bunyip as being similar to a giraffe, with its long necks and tail. Others claim to have spotted the Bunyip as having claws and horns. No physical evidence has actually been proven; although scientists suggest that they could have been a Diprotodon, which became extinct about 20,000 years ago. The natives were so frightened by this being, this Bunyip, that even after its extinction, they were too afraid to venture near waterholes. Their dreamtime stories were full of horror and death making it a much feared creature.
When white settlers started to befriend the Aborigines, they were told about this fearsome creature. Settlers were also warned about going near any waterholes at night, or near any known haunts of the Bunyip. Many times when the settler was out in the bushland at night, hearing strange, loud noises, they were sure that the Bunyip was out there, waiting to attack them. The existence of Bunyips was taken very seriously by the white settler.
It is thought the Bunyip legend originated from the era of 1932, during The Great Depression which was happening at this time. Often people would roam into the wilderness trying to avoid the hardships which fell upon many during this time. Some were escaping the law, others were simply travelling through this magnificent country. If the person was hiding from the law, or trying to escape the hardships, often when they heard some-one approaching they would hide. Many hid in the shrubbery, but some also hid in the swamps or lakes. To do this, they would create a snorkel made of bone through which they would breathe. Many times, thinking that their visitors had gone, they would emerge from the water covered with mud and slime. Screaming upon seeing the other person still there, the intruder naturally thought they had stumbled upon a Bunyip. As for the Bunyip having a taste for women above men or animals, it could be explained that the men having been alone for some length of time, took a fancy to the passing woman.
In the coastal town of Geelong, Victoria there was a report in July of 1845 of the finding of unfossilised bone on the banks of a small river. Apparently the bone formed part of the knee joint of an enormous animal. It was reported that a local Aboriginal person was shown the paper where he identified it straight away as a Bunyip bone.
The Loch Ness Monster
The first sign of the loch ness monster was sighted in July 22, 1933, when George Spicer and his wife saw 'a most extraordinary form of animal' cross the road in front of their car. They described the creature as having a large body (about 4 feet (1 m) high and 25 feet (8 m) long), and long, narrow neck, slightly thicker than an elephant's trunk and as long as the 10–12-foot (3–4 m) width of the road. It lurched across the road towards the loch 20 yards (20 m) away, leaving only a trail of broken undergrowth in its wake.
In August 1933 a motorcyclist named Arthur Grant claimed to have nearly hit the creature while approaching Abriachan on the north-eastern shore, at about 1 am on a moonlit night. Grant claimed that he saw a small head attached to a long neck, and that the creature saw him and crossed the road back into the loch. However some believe this story was just a humorous explanation of a motorcycle accident.
More sightings continued until 1963, when film of the creature was shot in the lake from a distance of 4 kilometers
Bigfoot
Bigfoot is a mythical creature described as a big hairy-ape like creature, about 2-3 meters tall and has reddish brown color fur. Witness says it has a low set forehead and large eyes, also has an unpleasant smell. Footprints have been found from Bigfoot with five toes and a 24 inch foot. In the Pacific Northwest says if the word Bigfoot was said by a child it would come and take the child away or even kill them. In 1924 a man said that he and 4 other miners was attacked by a group of big apes throwing rocks. These creatures attacked the cabin and even tried to bombard into the cabins. There were also other incident happened similar to this and there were 2 incidents that occurred near bluff creak, California, and one in Ruby creak.
In 2007 a snapshot of the Bigfoot was taken but no one still knows if the Bigfoot exists or not.
Because of the distance it was shot at it has been described as poor quality.
Aliens and UFOs
Alien are described as a pale green creature or dark green skin creature. This creature has 4-6 inch fingers. I you look closely at their eyes they are pure black and occasionally dark, dark brown. They do not have a gender but girls usually have a soft texture but boys usually have hard texture of skin. Back in June 1947, unidentified objects were seen in the skies above Washington State’s Cascade Mountains by a private pilot. He described the object as flying saucers. This situation quickly picked up the use of discussing about flying objects. On January 25, 1878 a local farmer reported seeing dark circular objects. The most famous three sightings were in 1916 and 1926. The one in 1916 was seen by a UK pilot reporting a row of lights, like lighted railway carriage, which rose than disappeared. The one in 1926 was by another pilot reporting 6 flying manhole covers between Kansas and Colorado. Late September, an animal pilot over Nevada was forced to land by a huge wingless cylindrical object. Scientists think if aliens were real they could all be living in Mars because astronauts have found some form of life on it, but who knows!?
