Here are some of the most amazing creatures that have been discovered, and who they actually turned out to be.

Strange creatures

1. Montauk Monster

The story began when an unknown creature washed ashore in the Montauk area of \u200b\u200bNew York in 2008. Local youth photographed the carcass and sold the pictures to newspapers.

Since the Montock monster was discovered, other carcasses have been found in the same area. It has been suggested that this is a tortoise without a shell, a dog, a large rodent, or a scientific experiment conducted at a government animal testing center.

In fact:

Experts concluded that the creature is a raccoon corpse, which corresponded to the shape of teeth and paws, but which did not have a front jaw. The strange appearance is due to the fact that his body began to decompose.

2. Louisiana monster

In December 2010, an unknown camera set up for deer hunting captured something frightening.

The picture shows a thin, clumsy, fast moving and, apparently, nocturnal creature that seemed to want to swallow your soul.

In fact:

The riddle of this creature was not solved, although many believe that the picture was processed using Photoshop. Two companies tried to use the snapshot for viral advertising.

For example, Playstation said the creature was in Resistance 3.

There were also those who claimed that it was a “fallen angel” captured in a video in the forest, appearing at 45 seconds.

3. Mexican alien child

In May 2007, a Mexican farmer Mario Moreno Lopez  (Mario Moreno Lopez) discovered a strange creature in a rat trap. He tried to drown him, killing him only the third time.

The creature was small - about 70 cm long with an elongated head, which led to the assumption that it was a child of an alien with a high level of intelligence.

However, skeptics said it could be a reptile or a squirrel monkey without skin, which explains the presence of a tail and spine, as well as a large head and eyes.

The farmer himself mysteriously died in the car at an abnormally high temperature some time after he drowned the creature, which many ufologists considered aliens to be revenge for the child.

In fact:

Scientists claimed that the creature’s teeth are not like human teeth, and it itself has a unique tissue that has not been changed, which refutes the theory of the monkey.

Later, nevertheless, the farmer’s nephew and part-time taxidermist admitted that the creature was the corpse of a monkey, which was removed from its skin and ears and which was placed in the fluids of different animals.

4. The Blue Hill Horror

In September 2009, four teenagers playing in the village of Cerro Azul in Panama discovered a strange creature that ran out of a cave. According to them, the monster began to pursue them, and teenagers began throwing stones at him until they killed him, and then threw the body into the water.

In the newspapers, the creature was nicknamed Gollum (the hero from The Lord of the Rings), as it lived in a cave, as well as the Blue Hill Horror.

In fact:

Scientists found that the story of the teenagers was a fiction, and the creature turned out to be the body of a sloth, which began to decompose. Due to a long stay in the water, his vegetation disappeared, which gave him a swollen rubber look.

5. Alien corpse at a ceremony in Thailand

In 2010, a series of photos appeared in social networks, taken in 2007 at the funeral ceremony of a strange creature similar to an alien in Thailand. He had a large round head, gray skin covered with white powder, resembling a satyr with tiny hooves and a tail.

Some argue that the ceremony was held to get rid of the evil spirits associated with the creature, while others felt that the inhabitants worshiped the creature as a deity.

In fact:

There were speculations that the creature was a disfigured cow, although it was very similar to a humanoid. Many point to the large number of abnormal animals appearing around the world, and believe that aliens conduct experiments on animals, creating strange hybrids that will take over the world in one day.

Mysterious creatures

6. The humanoid from Chile

In October 2002, while traveling with his family in Chile Julio Carreno  (Julio Carreno) found a tiny 7.2 cm long humanoid in the bushes.

The creature had a large humanoid head, nails and it opened its eyes, and died 8 days after detection. When he was alive, he had pink skin that darkened, and his body remained warm before it quickly mummified itself.

In fact:

The humanoid body was examined by veterinarians from Santiago, whose opinions were divided on who the creature is. They confirmed that it is not a human fetus or the remains of a feline representative, and its physical characteristics were more suitable for mouse possum. However, the creature did not have small sharp teeth or an opossum tail, and its head was twice as large.

  7. Texas Chupacabra

The creature known as the "yeti" of Latin America has been seen several times in Puerto Rico and the United States, namely Texas. According to legend, chupacabra (which translates from Spanish as "goat bloodsucker") kills livestock and drinks their blood.

According to descriptions, this creature did not have wool, its skin had a bluish-gray tint.

Several times these creatures were seen and shot in Texas for strangling dozens of chickens.

In fact:

DNA tests showed that the animal belonged to a hybrid of a wolf and a coyote, bald due to scabies. Although the ability to suck blood from chickens and goats remained unclear.

8. The huge boar from A llama

In May 2007, an 11-year-old boy, Jamison Stone from Alabama in the United States, shot a huge boar weighing almost 480 kg and 2.80 meters long. The boy who hunted with his father shot an animal eight times and chased him for three hours. When the boar was shot, I had to cut down trees to get it. The head of the animal was left as a trophy, and about 200-300 kg of sausages were made from meat.

In fact:

Many people signed the petition, accusing the boy of animal cruelty. Skeptics, however, consider the whole story a fiction, and the boar was, in fact, grown on a farm, and he was fed in order to make a sensation of history. Also, many felt that this was simply the result of processing Photoshop.

9. Eastern Yeti Caught in China

In April 2010, hunters caught a bald mammal that looked like a bear with a kangaroo tail making cat sounds. The creature became a real sensation and was called the "Eastern Yeti." According to legend, the yeti had a bear figure that towered far above a person. This creature was no more than 60 cm in length.

In fact:

Specialists came to the conclusion that it was an ordinary musang who had scabies. The animal was sent to Beijing for examination, but the results were never made public.

10. "Alien" from Chelyabinsk

This creature was found in an abandoned foundation pit in Chelyabinsk in Russia. He had a hard shell, several limbs and one tail located one above the other. Some have suggested that this monster is a huge shield, horseshoe crab, or trilobite, which became extinct even before the dinosaurs.

In fact:

Apparently, these creatures are crustacean shields, which are one of the oldest animals, a species that is more than 200 million years old. Usually its size does not exceed 6-7 cm, while the detected animal reached about 60 cm

From time to time, publications appear in the press that an incomprehensible creature has been found in a particular place. This suggests that our world is full of mysteries and not as harmless as it seems to us. These materials are evidence that, in addition to all the species known to us that live on our planet, there are other completely incomprehensible creatures, and they are sometimes so terrible that they lead the viewer into shock. There is no scientific evidence to confirm that they exist. However, there are many people who claim to have seen them in reality, and some were even able to capture them on a camera.

The most obscure creatures that have been seen on our planet

The stories about the terrible creatures that live side by side with us, on the same territory, but which only a few have seen, are great. Believing them or not is everyone's business. However, there are often repeated eyewitness accounts in which even the smallest details coincide. And then, naturally, we begin to draw parallels and find patterns that give us reason to think that they are real and not the result of human imagination. Further in the article we will present to your attention information about what strange creatures exist on earth.

Yeti

In our country, people started talking about him back in Soviet times. However, in our country it was customary to call him Bigfoot. This creature has other names: sasquatch, bigfoot (big-legged), enzhe, almasti, etc. Yeti is a legendary obscure creature. It was discovered high in the mountains, among the eternal snows.

Despite the fact that there are even photographs of these creatures in the archives, science is in no hurry to give this phenomenon a scientific explanation. However, some scientists believe that this large-legged giant is a relic hominid. In a word, the same mammal as we humans are, moreover, belonging to the order of primates and the human race. However, unlike us, its development was suspended in prehistoric times. He was seen in Australia, and in America, and in Russia. And all descriptions have much in common. Its most characteristic feature is a 2-2.5-meter growth. His body is covered with thick and long brown or white hair. It smells terrible. He has very large limbs. This is evidenced by their prints on the snow. Those who could not take photos of strange creatures were captured on the camera with their giant traces.

Why are scientists not in a hurry to take this information for reality? Yes, because they suggest that this may be some kind of monkey species unknown to us. Surveillance cameras are being installed today in the highlands of America to finally uncover the secret of Bigfoot.

Loch Ness monster

There is still no evidence that the creature lives in this Scottish lake. The ancient Celts spoke about its existence in their traditions 1400 years ago. They called him Nisag. Today he is more loved and affectionately called Nessie. The very first written mention of the inhabitant of Lake Loch Ness was a record in the biography of St. Columbus, which refers to his brief meeting with the "aquatic beast." Some believe that Nessie is a giant sturgeon, while others think that this is a dinosaur that survived the ice age.

However, scientists do not support either the first or second version. Similar obscure creatures that live in a particular lake have been found in other parts of the world, but Nessie is the most famous of them.

Chupacabra

Is there really such a creature on earth, it's hard to say. However, many terrible stories are told about him. This name translates as “sucking (blood) goats”, that is, “goat vampire”. According to a legend that has developed around this creature, this miraculous judo attacks the herds of antelopes and sucks all the blood out of them. It is difficult to say whether those who claim to have seen the chupacabra with their own eyes are telling the truth, because it is not for nothing that they say that fear has large eyes, and even in our age, mutations are not uncommon. So what does this animal look like?

This four-legged creature is like a coyote, that is, it has much in common with a jackal, it has fangs and a pig’s snout. It also resembles a kangaroo, an insect, a reptile, and even a bat. The last time his attacks were announced was in 2000 in Chile.

And this is definitely not a legend!

And more recently, in 2013, information appeared in the press that an obscure creature was discovered in the Persian Gulf. An Iranian ship discovered the remains of a real monster near its home coast. Until now, everyone is wondering what kind of animal it is. When viewing photographs, at first it may seem that this is an alligator of incredible size, while others believe that it is, however, scientists suggest that this animal is also the result of a mutation.

“The Moth Man”

The vast majority of people saw strange creatures except on TV, and not in documentaries, but in feature films. Many of them are filmed according to American urban legends. For example, in the 60s of the last century, the story of Mothman was often mentioned. However, there are people who claim that this is not a legend at all, but a story that happened in reality.

He was first seen in West Virginia. The couple, who happened to see a moth-man, says that it was a humanoid bird. Following her, a flying man with large luminous eyes was seen by two more married couples. The sheriff they turned to made the assumption that it was a giant heron. Nevertheless, all who saw in chorus said that this flying creature with luminous big eyes has a body and a human head, but instead of arms it has wings.

Other features of the winged humanoid are gray skin covered with scales. They also say that he takes off and lands vertically, and in the air he speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour. His voice was shrill and could cause electrical interference. As a food, he consumed mainly street dogs.

When in 1967 the Serebryany Bridge suddenly collapsed, people began to say that it was the work of a “moth-man”. Then filmmakers picked up this legend and began to create a number of paintings about this strange creature.

Donetsk Miracle Yudo

But this strange creature has no name yet. It was recently caught by fishermen from a river near the city of Donetsk. He has a carapace, a long tail, almost like a snake, and also, quite strange, as many as 70 pairs of legs. At the same time, it’s very tiny: its body is 20 cm long. Scientists believe that this is a shield that belongs to the branch of the gill-footed, but the most amazing thing is that such strange creatures lived on the earth, or rather in water bodies, 200 million years ago, and it was believed that they became extinct long ago. No one undertakes to explain where this Donetsk miracle-judo came from today.

Conclusion

Of course, this is not a complete list of monsters that have been seen on our planet and which caused fear in people. However, the existence of most of them has no scientific evidence. Perhaps they appear as a result of a mutation, because today even people with terrible anomalies are born. In our age, the environmental problem is so acute that it is also not worth excluding this version.

12. Japanese crab spider

First Swallow of the Underworld - Japanese Spider Crab
The Japanese crab spider took all the worst from both the spider and the crab. The length is 4 meters. It lives in the sea up to 300 meters deep. For breeding, spider crabs rise in shallow water, where you can see them closer.
But remember: the creature is dangerous to humans. People were injured by encountering the claws of this creature.

11. Cordyceps from the group of influenza


"Zombies" from the group of fungal
A favorite pastime of Cordyceps is penetration into such creepy creatures as tarantulas. Cordyceps ignota is a genus of ergot fungi. Having settled inside, he "grows out."
Cordyceps one-sided (lat.Ophiocordyceps unilateralis) specializes in destroying the life of ants, completely captures the brain of the victim. Ant dies, executing a mushroom command.

10. Starbringer


"This truth exists," or starfish
The mammal lives in a swampy area in North America and spends most of its time in complete darkness. Stargazer finds food thanks to 22 skin growths on its face. The stargazer uses to detect potential prey (mainly larvae and worms), each antennae has sensitive receptors. Surprisingly, these receptors are so sensitive that the starfish can “smell” prey even in groundwater.

9. Goliath Tarantula


The "killer" of arachnophobia tarantula-goliath
The goliath tarantula spider has a limb span of up to 30 cm and can weigh up to 180 grams. He eats everything: from small insects to lizards and birds. If you approach it, the spider begins to hiss. The hiss can be heard at a distance of up to 5 meters.
Anyone who wants to get closer to the goliath will meet with the sharp needles that he releases. They are very dangerous, irritate the skin and it is very difficult to get rid of them.
The inhabitants of South America in its northeastern part eat these spiders. Before eating, spiders are scorched to get rid of unwanted hairs, and then stewed in banana leaves. They say they taste like shrimp.

7. Ay-ah


Harbinger of death ah ah
Ai-ai - a type of lemur that mainly lives on the tops of trees and goes down at night to hunt. Ai-ai is an omnivorous creature, but its favorite delicacy is large, juicy insects and larvae living under the bark of trees.
With the help of a very long middle finger, ay-ay takes a favorite dish out of the cracks of the trees. A unique primate lives in the rainforests of Madagascar and is endangered. The reason for this is the local population, who believes that meeting with ay-ay is a bad omen. Some even believe that it is the primate who will sneak into the man’s bedroom at night and pierce the heart with his long, sharp finger. Therefore, when meeting with ah-ah, a man kills him.

6. Coconut crab, the size of a small dog


The disgusting arthropod lives on land. Coconut crab has a claw span of more than 90 cm and a weight of about 4 kg. He was nicknamed for his ability to easily crush coconuts.
Like most creatures with an exoskeleton, as they grow older, the coconut crab gets rid of its heavy external armor. This makes it very vulnerable and in order to accelerate the process of the emergence of a new defense, the crab eats its own shell and forms a new one from nutrients. Crabs eat very differently: from fruits to their own kind.
The past few years, the number of coconut crab has declined significantly. The reason for this was people who invaded their habitat and started building roads where the crab migration routes run.

5. Giant Isopod


"Prehistoric bug" giant isopod
A substance the size of a small puppy with many legs. Various species of giant isopods are found throughout the world, but in general they are very similar.
Despite the awesome look and size, giant isopods are absolutely harmless creatures. They live at a depth of 200 to 2000 meters, where it is similar to collect any "garbage" that can be found.

2. Goblin Shark


The goblin shark got its name because of its good appetite and bizarre appearance. Everything in this shark causes disgust and trembling: from a pinkish-transparent body to an elongated muzzle with needle-like teeth. Unlike other sharks, the jaw of a goblin shark is not only mobile, but can be advanced.

1. The tapeworm

“Oh my God, burn it alive” or a tapeworm
The reason this tiny creature can be disgusted can be described in one word: trunk. Capturing the victim, the worm compresses its internal muscles with such force that it almost turns itself inside out, and the trunk increases thirty times from the length of the body to absorb its victim.

Our life is full of various secrets. Looking at some representatives of the animal world, you never get surprised at the ingenuity of nature. Sometimes it seems that all living organisms have already been studied and studied, but biologists annually discover their new species. Mysterious creatures captured in photos and videos become known around the world. They attract those who unconditionally believe in the most incredible theories, and often skeptics who doubt it all.

Mysterious guest from the ocean

As you know, the most mysterious place on our earth is the ocean. Scientists admit that to date, only 5% of its vast space has been investigated. It is not surprising that he throws frightening monsters ashore from the mysterious depths, causing shock and surprise.

So, in April of this year, the whole world spread the news of the existence of a sea monster, reminiscent of a character from R. Scott's science fiction movie "Alien." A mysterious creature, a photo of which appeared in all media, was discovered on a beach in Thailand. A resting traveler captured an incomprehensible find of a dirty pink color and immediately posted pictures on the Internet. Some people took the news rather coolly, but after the tourist provided videos on which a strange animal with a transparent body moves, skepticism subsided.

Alien or terrestrial origin?

The Briton, who was not afraid to pick up the body, wanted to return it to its usual habitat, but the individual wriggled and even quietly made sounds resembling a whistle. A frightened vacationer dropped a “stranger” that looked like a sea slug or a large leech, and hastened to retire from it to a safe distance. What is the nature of the curiosity captured in the frames, no one can answer. Whether the inhabitant of the sea depths is an alien guest or is this a rare creature of terrestrial origin, the question remains open. And local residents said that they often met similar mutants, whom no one had identified so far.

Divers, conquering the depths of the sea, sometimes meet its very rare inhabitants. The most mysterious creatures in the world are somewhat reminiscent of jellyfish swaying gently on the waves. Pyrosomes are tiny organisms, however they unite into giant colonies several meters long. Swinging translucent pipes closed at one end were first discovered by a specialist from Australia in 2011. Floating colonies can grow to the size of a whale, and an adult can easily fit entirely into one of the underwater cylinders. It is strictly forbidden to swim inside with pyros, since you can get stuck and drown.

Organisms living in the depths feed on tiny plankton and filter the water that flows out of the hole at one end. To move, they use the flow of the ocean, and these are the only living individuals moving in this way. It is curious that the mysterious creatures shine with fluorescent light, visible at a distance of several meters.

Some divers who touch the colonies admit that they are soft and soft to the touch, like jelly. Scientists know very little about pyrosomes, since unique representatives of the underwater world, reminding us of the incomprehensibility of the universe and the secrets that the ocean holds, are very rare.

Unusual creatures living at the very bottom of the ocean

Another most curious representative of the deep-sea fauna is an isopod, resembling a giant wood louse. For the first time information about the most mysterious creature in the world appeared at the end of the XIX century. At the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, a large, straight-legged cancer was discovered, and its existence refuted the hypothesis that there was no life on the ocean floor.

Since isopods live at a very great depth (from 170 to 2200 meters), the science of them knows almost nothing. Reaching up to 80 centimeters in length, they weigh about two kilograms. Unusual specimens have a rigid exoskeleton, which can be folded into a tight ring to protect against predators.

Hermits and scavengers

The most complex organ of an arthropod, leading a solitary lifestyle, are eyes located at a great distance from each other. True, relying on frontal vision in pitch darkness is pointless: it does not allow you to navigate well at great depths. Paired antennas on the head functionally replace both the sense of smell and touch, playing the role of sensory organs. Giant crustaceans, which are hermits, have seven pairs of small legs.

It is known that they can do without food for a very long time. Carrion becomes the food of the inhabitants of the depths - dead fish or squid, therefore it is no coincidence that mysterious creatures are called scavengers of the ocean, because they care about the cleanliness of their native environment.

Scientists have no doubt that individuals of enormous size lived on earth more than 160 million years ago.

More recently, information was received from the Argentine province that some mysterious creature of two meters in height began to attack pets. It runs on four limbs and jumps like a kangaroo, and sometimes the monster rises on its hind legs, which does not prevent it from running fast.

Shocked residents photographed a monster who is still afraid of people. However, many fear that the thirst for blood of a terrible creature could soon lead to a real tragedy.

Several versions

A dog-like thin individual, tearing to pieces of animals, caused a lot of sense in society. Some believe that this is a real werewolf or a demonic entity that takes on various forms. Others put forward the theory that a monster came to earth from a parallel world to explore our planet, scout the area and hunt, taking DNA samples.

And someone saw in the picture the legendary chupacabra - the "goat vampire" who tormented the bodies of animals and drank their blood. It is believed that this is a mutant created on one of the American secret bases. The Pentagon remains silent on all charges, and, as the researchers believe, one should not hope for an early solution to the mystery. But skeptics are sure that this is an ordinary bear, only exhausting.

A mysterious creature of the earth or an alien from an alien planet?

A few years ago, a resident of California heard strange sounds reminiscent of the cries of a wounded animal. When the terrifying screams subsided, the woman headed back to where they came from, and found on the grass one of the most mysterious creatures on earth. She immediately posted the pictures, which clearly visible slimy pink body with the beginnings of limbs, on the World Wide Web.

An incomprehensible mutant, outwardly unlike any of the animals known to science, was already dead by that time. On the head of an ugly creature covered with a transparent sac from the placenta, you can see undeveloped eyes without pupils and small processes of ears of a pointed shape. Users began to debate about whether this is an alien or a premature fetus of a wild beast.

The opinion of scientists

Most were inclined to believe that this is the corpse of an alien - a living intelligent being from another planet. However, experts are in no hurry to confirm this version, and suggest that this is not a fully formed embryo embryo that has been torn apart by wild predators. Most likely, a pregnant female roe deer came to people, after which she began a premature birth. However, to this day, a resident of California believes in the extraterrestrial nature of her find. Be that as it may, but her photograph is very popular and is rapidly circulating on the Internet.

Scientists who firmly stand their ground assure that the development of animal species on earth obeys the theory of evolution. However, life is often not consistent with the scientific approach, and 5 mysterious creatures presented in our article are vivid proof of this. As it turns out, not everything that goes beyond the scope of science is fairy tales and stupid things not worthy of attention. Looking at photos of amazing monsters, you can easily believe in the most terrible legends that are passed down from generation to generation.

Our world is not so harmless. Indeed, somewhere there, in the dark, in forests isolated from the eyes and in the deep bowels of ponds, mysterious creatures live. They appear unexpectedly and just as unexpectedly and disappear. Frightened witnesses find themselves dumbfounded and perplexed.

As a result, there is no evidence of such meetings. But the creatures continue to exist, in their secluded places, and even in our imagination. We will tell below about the ten most mysterious creatures that, according to many, still exist on our planet.

After all, there are eyewitnesses who have seen them firsthand. Let some creatures be more incredible than others, but decide if they really are - let’s give our imagination.

Bigfoot. Bigfoot is perhaps the most frequently encountered mysterious creature. Yeti were met in forests and mountains almost all over the planet. Scientists still can not get reliable evidence about the existence of yeti. But every year there is more and more evidence of its existence. Interestingly, from Florida to Australia, people describe Bigfoot quite consistently and similarly. The creature grows from 2 to 2.5 meters. Yeti itself is covered with long brown, red or white hair. A nasty smell comes from him. Imprints on the ground testify to the large size of the legs, like hands. They say that the yeti eschews the man, and at night can howl. A huge number of meetings suggests that this creature has every chance of becoming real, unknown to science so far. But what is it? The missing link in evolution? Ancient ancestors of people left to live in deserts and mountains? Or maybe it's just an unknown species of monkey? Perhaps the secret will be revealed soon. After all, digital technology can significantly improve the observation of the terrain. In America, in the woods they begin to install cameras that will monitor movement around the clock, trying to find a mysterious creature. In the meantime, all that enthusiasts have is the imprints of large legs, shreds of wool and eyewitness accounts.

Loch Ness monster. In this row, it is worth noting several monsters living in the depths of the lakes. Although scientists today are equipped with sensitive electronic devices, water monsters still elude observation. But good witness witnesses exist. The most famous monster is Loch Ness, his name is Nessie. It is known that this inhabitant of the depths has a long head and neck, while his back is humpbacked. Similar animals were also found in other places - Chessy in the Chesapeake Bay, Storsi in the Swedish lake Storsion, Selma in Norway, Champion on Lake Champlain in New York. Most observers say that they noticed a towering hump above the water, only a few lucky ones could see the elongated neck with a head. Usually, the creature immediately begins to dive. Photo and video evidence of water monsters is very small and almost all of them are blurry. The most famous is the fin photo taken by the Raines expedition in 1975. If the creature actually exists, then the researchers believe that it could be a plesiosaur. But he died out over 66 million years ago! But maybe these incredible creatures somehow managed to survive deep underwater?

Chupacabra. In our area, this mystical bloodthirsty monster is little known. The first data about him appeared in the 70s. But real fame came to this creature in the 90s with the development of the Internet. This creepy creature attacks livestock and poultry and sucks blood from them. Most often seen chupacabra in Puerto Rico. Farmers who observed the practice of killing wild dogs say that the monster, while killing, did not eat or drag them away, but drained the blood through small incisions. Eyewitnesses say that the chupacabra is the size of a small monkey, while jumping like a kangaroo. The creature has red eyes, hairy skin, a tongue, like a snake, and sharp fangs. Around the spine are feathers that can open. Some people think that these are probably wings. By the end of the 90s, evidence of the existence of a monster began to become more and more. He was credited with killing animals in Mexico, southern Texas and South America. In 2000, a series of creature incidents occurred in Chile. Theories about the origin of the mysterious creature are many. Perhaps this is just a natural but unknown species of predator. Perhaps the result of foreign genetic experiments. Most serious researchers believe that chupacabra is just an element of folklore, which local superstitious people inspired. You can only be sure that news about the tricks of this creature will periodically appear.

Devil from Jersey. They say that in the vicinity of the American city of New Jersey, a terrible humanoid creature roams. With its terrible appearance, it earned the nickname Devil from Jersey. The legend of him first appeared in the middle of the XVIII century. Then the appearance of this creature was considered an omen of war or great misfortune. All this time, periodically appeared evidence of a meeting with this creature. For several centuries, about 2000 have gathered such people. Even today, eyewitnesses meet with this monster. Although his descriptions vary, there are some common symptoms. The devil’s height is about a meter, his face is equine, and his head is elongated, like a collie dog breed. The creature has a long neck, half meter wings on its back, and hooves on its legs. The creature holds its forepaws in front of itself. Many believe that this devil can become invisible. It is curious that there are some similarities with chupacabra. The Devil is blamed for the unexplained deaths of dozens of animals and their injuries. Did some eyewitnesses go crazy after meeting him? What kind of creature is this? Theories are similar to those that explain chupacabra. One thing is clear, something definitely scary lives in forests near New Jersey.

The moth man.  Starting in November 1966, for 13 months, strange events took place at Point Pleasant, in West Virginia. In addition to many reports of UFO sightings and poltergeist, some witnesses spoke of a meeting with a strange creature. As stated in John Kiel’s classic book, The Moth Prophecy, hundreds of witnesses saw a winged humanoid. He is described as a two-meter giant with a wingspan of about three meters. His gray skin was covered with scales. Huge red eyes had a hypnotic effect. A moth man could take off and land vertically, developing a speed of up to 130 km / h in air. Most often, the monster consumed large dogs. The creature squealed like a rodent or like an electric motor, causing radio and television interference. Some of the eyewitnesses to the meeting with the moth-man said that they had opened an information channel. With it, eyewitnesses began to receive strange predictions of the future, though very inaccurate.

Elves and fairies. In modern society, there are few people who believe in the existence of fairies and elves. Some of them are ready to swear by anything that they saw these creatures with their own eyes. In the same way, someone saw Nessie, and someone saw a bigfoot. The stories of elusive little magical creatures are quite ancient, they are found in almost every culture on Earth. The most famous legends about elves, gnomes and trolls from Europe and Scandinavia. These creatures became the heroes of numerous children's tales. Fairies were described as tiny ephemeral creatures with wings living in forests. Elves and gnomes lived there. However, they looked like a man, differing only in small stature. It is often claimed that they had their own civilization, hidden from our eyes. In the summer of 1919, 13-year-old Harry Anderson saw a convoy of 20 people who were following each other. Moonlight illuminated their path. They were dressed in leather pants with suspenders. Men were shirtless, bald and had pale white skin. Passing by the amazed boy, the creatures muttered something under their breath. In the English Stowmarket, in 1842, one farmer spoke of his meeting with the fairies when he returned home through the meadows: “There were at least a dozen, the largest was about a meter in height. They moved, holding on to the arm and making a ring. They seemed made from the light. I saw them very clearly. " When a man called his family to look at the fairies, they were gone. In past cultures, elves and fairies were considered quite real, and some of their folklore also came. Today, society has become much more technologically advanced, perhaps in our imagination aliens took their place with their spaceships.

Dover Demon. In April 1977, near the city of Dover, in Massachusetts, a strange creature was seen several times. He was called a trusted demon. Although there was only a few evidence of his appearance, the creature is one of the most mysterious. For the first time, the monster was met by 17-year-old Bill Barnet, who, together with his friends, was driving a car late at night. Suddenly he saw an unusual creature crawling along a stone wall near the curb. Although the other boys did not see anything unusual, they noted a strong shock to their friend. Just hours after that, 15-year-old John Baxter, returning from his girlfriend, saw something wrapped around a tree trunk. His description coincided with the previous one. The final testimony came the next day, when 15-year-old Abby Brabham and his girlfriend saw a strange creature in the headlights of a car. It was about 1.2 meters high and stood on two legs. The body was bare with rough skin. His limbs were long and thin, brown. The head in its shape resembled a watermelon, it was as big as the body. The monster's eyes glowed in orange. Further studies of this unusual case did not provide a single evidence of its reality. True, no motive for deception was also found. Skeptics suggest that adolescents could see a young moose, and ufologists prove the theory of meeting with aliens.

Loveland Raptor. This creature is rather little known, because only two people saw it, albeit separately. On March 3, 1972, a police officer drove along Riverside Avenue, which lies along the Little Miami River in Loveland, Ohio. Suddenly, on the side of the road, he saw something that looked like a dead dog. The policeman stopped to remove her from the road. When the man approached, the creature quickly stood on its hind legs. It turned out that this is not a dog at all, but some kind of monster a meter high. His weight was 20-30 kilograms, his skin was wrinkled, his body had tangles, a short tail. The face and head of the monster looked like a frog or a lizard. The creature looked at the man and jumped into the river. The officer reported what had happened and returned here with a partner. Evidence was found right there - the tracks on the slope that the lizard left when it rushed to the river. This story would have been forgotten, but two weeks later the other policeman saw the monster. He also stopped when he saw a strange thing in the middle of the road. And in this case, the lizard disappeared towards the river. Subsequent investigations that one farmer said he saw some large creatures, like lizards. Since then, no one has seen the pangolin.

Living dinosaurs. In the film "Jurassic Park" digital technology was able to create a very realistic world of dinosaurs. Many are already looking forward to the time when cloning will bring out the long-gone inhabitants of the planet. What if dinosaurs are still alive? Maybe some of them did not die out at all? Many people believe that this is true. For more than 200 years, stories have come from the secluded forests of Africa and South America that local tribes were familiar with large creatures. Their description fits perfectly with the appearance of sauropods and apatosaurs. The natives called them giant divers. In 1913, the German explorer Freicher von Stein said that the pygmies informed him of the strange creature "river cork". He had brown smooth skin, it was the size of an elephant (up to 10 meters in length), a long flexible neck. The animal fed on plants, but could attack humans if they bothered him. When in 1980 an expedition to these tribes took place, and zoologists showed the natives big sauropods, they recognized their "river traffic jams" in them. However, the testimony of illiterate tribes alone was not enough. It is believed that researchers were able to detect huge traces. And in 1992, the Japanese from the plane were able to take 15 seconds of the movement of something huge in the water in these places. There is no doubt that the search for dinosaurs in the virgin forests will continue.

Jack Springbok. This creature is also called Jack Springs-on-Heels. It appeared in Victorian England. It is said that this monster attacked its victims in the dark in London in the 19th century. Victims escaped with terrible scratches, and it was impossible to catch Jack because of his truly inhuman abilities. The waitress, Polly Adams, injured by a monster, said that he tore her exit blouse by touching her stomach with iron claws. Victims paint a big picture. The creature looks like a man, but with a disgusting appearance. His claws were sharp and iron. He himself was thin, strong, tall and powerful. Jack's eyes were burning, he himself knew how to spit flame out of his mouth. Something tight-fitting was dressed on the body of the monster, and on top was a dark cloak. It was said that he wore some kind of helmet. And the nickname was given to him by the fact that he knew how to bounce to incredible heights, jumping even over walls. The attacks entailed an official decree by the mayor to capture the criminal. But all attempts to catch him were unsuccessful. Rumors about the appearance of Jack appeared in the following decades. He scared people with his appearance and quickly hid. Interestingly, Jack did not kill anyone, only 18-year-old Vesa Lucy was seriously injured, with whom Jack exhaled a flame in his face. Who was this Jack? Devilishly clever maniac or demon? Or maybe an alien? We hardly ever know the answer, and Jack the jumper remains one of the most mysterious creatures of our time.
