43 Years Ago!

Dr Karl P.N. Shuker would write an article for the “Fortean Times” concerning the mysterious creature he would name “The Gambian Sea Serpent”; however, upon publishing, the magazine would change the name to simply “Gambo”. This would become its popular name. Gambo marked a rare moment in cryptozoology. Usually when the co**se of an unidentified creature washes ashore it is so badly decomposed it's simply labeled a "globster". Instead, Gambo, with all its prehistoric features was almost completely intact! While many dismiss it simply as a misidentified dolphin, Shuker points out in his book "Still In Search of Prehistoric Survivors" the combination of features rules out any identifiable mammal, fish, or reptile. So we are left with yet another mystery to ponder and as always... Keep it Creepy!

62 Years Ago Today!
From West Virginia's Mothman and Grafton Monster to Texas' Lake Worth Monster. From tNorth Carolina's "Vienna Beast" to California's Bigfoot. The 1960s was a golden era of cryptid sightings. All across North America people were reporting encounters with bizarre and unknown. So when 3 girls stumbled across a massive creature blocking their path it was simply one more thread in an already spectacular tapestry. The Dewey Lake Monster has evolved over the years. At times it is described as a huge bipedal reptilian beast and at others it is described as a massive ape-like creature. Sometimes it is even described as a hybrid of both.

Keep it Creepy!

61 Years ago Today!

When UFOs are reported, we often question the credibility of the witness, and certain occupations simply carry more weight. While a teacher may be credible in such a case, a report by a police officer is going have more weight, and an airline pilot will top the officer's testimony. What then are we to make of a report by an astronaut?! Space historians and experts, such as James Oberg, have suggested that Mcdivitt's "UFO" was likely the Titan II booster rocket the capsule had separated from earlier, or perhaps a piece of thermal insulation glinting in the sunlight. Adding to the issue is that with the object floating freely in space away from anything for the astronaut to determine its scale, it was impossible for him to estimate the size of the object. However, the U.S. government has recently explained that it now believes that the earth has been and is being visited by craft piloted by "non human intelligences". So perhaps we'll never know what he saw that day.

Keep it Creepy!

27 Years Ago Today!

Sea serpents are often relegated to the realm of pirate yarns and sailors' superstitions. Relics of a distant age, when vast stretches of ocean remained unexplored and every shadow beneath the waves was a potential monster. However, reports of enormous serpent-like creatures still persist. In fact, in 1999, the same year audiences packed theaters to watch The Matrix, a Norwegian man named Arnt Helge Molvaer would capture footage of one of the most intriguing modern sea serpent sightings on record!
