In the latter part of 2006, I had the good fortune to meet with a Las Vegas, Nevada-based bus driver names James, who had a remarkable encounter with a massive, winged beast in the deserts outside of town, in November 2003. James was careful - in fact, very careful - about how much he said.

My previous article began as follows: "The 1960s. A group of kids. A terrifying monster. And the creature has bright red eyes and wings. Mothman, right? Nope. Wrong. We're talking about a case from over the pond and the south of England. It sounds bizarre that two such similar events could have happened, but that's

Through much of 1997 – now 25 years later – the skies of south Devon, England were filled with UFOs, bizarre aerial vehicles, and mystifying lights. Strange creatures – including large black cats resembling mountain-lions, flying beasts that had the appearance of huge jellyfish, and ghostly black dogs with blazing, hate-filled eyes – provoked terror...

Over the years there have been more than a few ways to try and catch the likes of the Loch Ness Monsters. And also, more than a few examples of how to prove the things really exist. For example, sonar has been used on many occasions to try and find the Nessies. The U.S. government’s... Read more »

Since my first time to Puerto Rico in 2004, I’ve now made nine trips to the island, all in hot pursuit of the Chupacabras, the resident monsters of the island.

My previous article was titled “The Biggest Cryptozoological Puzzle? The British Bigfoot.” It was thanks to Brent Swancer’s new article on this strange topic of the U.K. Sasquatch that I decided to write today’s article. As I noted in my previous article, there’s no doubt the British Bigfoot is a paranormal creature. There are a... Read more »

My previous article was on the interest of the U.S. government in the likes of Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman. So, today, I thought I would show you what the U.K. government knows of so-called “Cryptids.” I should stress that, personally, I’m totally fine with the word “Monster.” For me, “Cryptid” is more than a...

The United States is noted for its well-known monstrous “winged things,” such as Mothman, the Thunderbirds of Native American history, and even pterodactyl-style creatures. But, what about the U.K.? Well, I can say for sure that over the pond there are more than a few cases of creatures that spend most of their time high... Read more »
