Loch Ness Monster on Google Earth???

Natalina wants to believe

I’m going to file this story under….AWESOME!!!  Crypto-enthusiasts are going ballistic about the latest bit of potential evidence for the existence of Scotland’s own Nessie.

Jason Cooke, a reader of The Sun, spotted what just might be the elusive Loch Ness Monster while checking out the Loch on Google Earth. To see the object, enter co-ordinates Latitude 57°12′52.13″N, Longitude 4°34′14.16″W in Google Earth, and zoom in.

Now, let’s be honest.  It could be any number of things…a boat with a weird looking {more. . .)

The Elusive Muck Monster

Something has been making waves in Palm Beach County, Florida.

The Lake Worth Lagoon has been the site of some recent strange activity.  It seems that a mysterious creature is swimming just below the surface of the murky water.  Greg Reynolds of LagoonKeepers.org captured a bit video footage of the creature’s wake, and people have been trying to identify it ever since.  Thomas Reinert, a marine expert, studied the footage as well as other eye witness reports, and was unable to make an identification.

El Chupacabra: Mythical Monster or Major Disappointment?

I need to start this post by stating that I received the inspiration from my friend Tom, also known as DJ Tommy Fly Pants (Actually, I’m the only person who calls him that!), who inquired as to why I’ve never featured this sweetheart of the cryptozoological world on Extraordinary Intelligence.

El Chupacabra has captured the fancy of more than a few seekers of the unknown.  First of all, it is really fun to say.  Ellll Chupacabrrrrra! I think that’s one of the major selling points.  For {more. . .)

American Werewolf Follow-up: Michigan Dogman

Well, I got quite a reaction to the post American Werewolf: The Beast of Bray Road.   In light of some of the comments  I’ve received here on the blog,  via Myspace messages, via Twitter messages, and email, (I even had one fella email me and claim that he IS a werewolf!) I’ve decided to quickly revisit the topic and explore a few more points, as well as a bit of evidence that I missed previously.

An eyewitness snapped this photo, which they claim shows a beast {more. . .)

American Werewolf: The Beast of Bray Road

There are a few monsters that we’ve come to safely believe are pure fiction.  Vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc.  All of these are figments of creative imagination, right?  They don’t actually exist…. do they?

 

Well, there are a few people in Wisconsin that might challenge that notion.  You see, Wisconsin is known for something other than their beautiful Dells, football, and cheese.  It also just so happens that Wisconsin has its very own werewolf legend, and there are those that believe that this beast is very very real.

This Week’s Sad Top Story

John Keel Dies at age 79

In a bit of sad breaking news, I just learned that author and groundbreaking paranormal researcher John Keel has passed away.  Keel was best known for his best selling book and the subsequent motion picture The Mothman Prophesies.  Cryptozoology and UFO researchers and enthusiasts will remember Keel as a fascinating figure who theorized about UFO origins {more. . .)

Blogsquatcher: Bigfoot likes to Boogie!

This has to be the cutest headline I’ve seen in a long time!  According to Blogsquatcher:

When looking for bigfoot, try shaking yer booty..

Now, Blogsquatcher is merely addressing an article written in the Idyllwild Town Crier Online which contends that Bigfoot is partial to a little Motown, and has a particular love for Aretha Franklin.  The Idyllwild article is silly and delves deeply into some very weird territory, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share this fun mental image as we head into the weekend!

Disgusting Creature Found in Sewer

My friend Bryn recently posted the following video on his site.  Here’s link to his post, followed by the video:

GROTESQUE UNIDENTIFIED LIFE FORM FOUND IN SEWER!

Eeeew!  What is that horrible creature??  Any thoughts?

It reminded me of a less disgusting but also fascinating video I discovered through the site Pink Tentacle.

Video: Close encounter with mysterious creature

The difference between the two is that to me, the second video is special effects.  Good ones at that.  Some comments have speculated that the creature looks like a certain {more. . .)

The Elusive American Kangaroo?

One of the most incredible animals I’ve ever seen is the kangaroo.  Well, that statement is a little misleading, because I’ve never actually seen a kangaroo in real life…but I’ve always wanted to.

Imagine my delight when I read about cases of this magnificent marsupial being sighted right here in the United States!  Unbelievable?  Well, not to those who claim to have witnessed them with their own eyes.  The kangaroo is native to Australia, and yet there is a phenomena in North America known as the {more. . .)
