The Horrific Beast of Enfield Illinois

I must admit that I'm taken in by shows like Finding Bigfoot or TV specials on The Loch Ness Monster. I've always wondered if there could be something lurking out there that we haven't seen yet. It's pretty obvious from some of the "extinct" fish we've been pulling out of the ocean that we really don't know what could be out there. (Do you have chills yet... LOL)

While I'm sure most of you have heard about the Bigfoot or Nessie, I'd be willing to wager you have NOT heard of the beastie that I read about today. Apparently around April of 1973, the small town of Enfield Illinois was harassed by some sort of bizarre creature. The critter was described as having three legs, a grayish, slimy epidermis, short claws, and reddish eyes. Creepy!

This abomination apparently first attacked a young boy while he was playing outside. Initially the report was chalked up to a wild imagination, however, thirty minutes later, the thing attempted to get into the neighbors house. When the man of the house opened the door, he was startled to see what was standing in front of him and did what any red blooded man would do. He got his pistol and blasted it.

Over the next few months several others claim to have seen the beastie. During one sighting the website claims a recording of the things scream was recorded. (Why is it all these things have a scream. Have you seen Finding Bigfoot?)

Anyway, here is the link to the page so you can read the story yourself. Drop a comment and let me know what you think? Real OR Hoax?

Bigfoot, the Loch Ness, and things that go bump in the night

I've always been fascinated at the possibility of something out there that we still haven't discovered. Something lurking out there, watching us. I mean when you think about it, the possibility is valid. In the 1960's a Coelacanth fish was hauled out of the water by a fisherman's net in small South African town of East London. That fish was thought to be extinct for 65 million years. Yet there it was, apparently only hours earlier, swimming and breathing.

So, why isn't it possible that there may be creatures that we have yet found?

On this date in 1933, one of the most famous and legendary creatures stole the headlines in Scotland. The Loch Ness Monster. While there are written sightings dating back 1500 years, it's on this day that the legend takes off and grows to the phenomenon that it is today.

Alas numerous expeditions have yet to uncover the elusive beastie. Even the most famous picture has been debunked as fake.

Maybe someday, Nessie will come out and play.
