Sasquatch, Ape man, Swamp Ape

Bigfoot is a bipedal creature that is said to walk upright, is covered in fur and has a human like face. It is most commonly reported in the forests in North America. Many people report that the Bigfoot that they saw was between 6' and 10' tall. He is said to have a foul odor like decaying meat or sulfur. Some report that this creature is brown, gray, tan and black.

Before a sighting people say the woods they are walking in will fall silent. All sounds of the forest will cease, such as the birds singing or crickets chirping. Often they will smell a foul odor. Many report feeling an extreme feeling of being watched. Some may hear branches breaking as if some large creature is stepping on them. There are also reports rocks being thrown at people walking down trails or camping. People also report hearing a sound like rocks or large sticks being hit against each other to make loud echoing sounds, possibly being a warning that you are in their territory.

There are many different beliefs in what Bigfoot is. Native Americans talk about these creatures in their folklore. There are even some cave drawings or pictographs that some believe depict Bigfoot. Some believe Bigfoot may be an animal from prehistoric times, or a not yet identified ape species, while others believe he is a multi-dimensional supernatural being.

Wendigo

Wendigo Winter Entity From the folklore of tribes in North America, the Wendigo is a humanoid-like evil spirit that likes to possess human beings and turn them into cannibals. It is said to be super tall, gaunt and look emaciated and shifts between looking human to looking like a human with a stag head. Facts & Trivia Some Indigenous people thought that the Wendigo was a sign of people’s selfishness and greed. Many mental illnesses were blamed on a person being possessed by a Wendigo. A person was said to turn in to a Wendigo by doing bad things, being cursed by a Shaman or by dreaming about it. Wendigos were first written about in the 1600's. The Algonquian speaking people believed that eating fatty meat could cure one of being a Wendigo.

Mongolian Death Worm

  Mongolian Death Worm Allghoi or Olgoi-khorkhoi It is said to be a reddish 2 - 5 foot long worm with a red mouth. Folklore says it lives under the sand in the Gobi desert, and will come out to kill it’s prey with it’s poisonous spit. Some witnesses have said that the worm will spit at you. Once the spit touches the victim, it poisons the person and they will not survive. Others have said it will appear suddenly out of the sand of the desert, quickly wrapping around it’s victim, choking it, then eating it’s prey whole. In folklore, it is also said that they can generate electrical shocks to stun their victims. What Do You Think?
