She bounds along on all fours through long grass, panting with her tongue hanging out. When she reaches the tap she paws at the ground, drinks noisily with her jaws wide open and lets the water cascade over her head. Up to this point, you think the young woman could be acting — but the moment she shakes her head and neck free of droplets, exactly like a dog when it emerges from a swim, you get a creepy sense that this is something beyond imitation.

Haunted police station?
Though he tried to convince everybody that nothing would happen to him, the chair started shaking all of a sudden and he was thrown out of the chair by some invisible force. The cops ran to save their lives, fearing that Bowler's ghost was present in the room, he said. Citing another example, he said that one Sharma ji (the SI refused to divulge the full name) also tried to sit on the chair about three years ago…
Update: New York Bigfoot photos
Here is the size comparison photo that Tom Biscardi and company produced while they were onsite with Hans Mobius in Clarence, NY. Looking at the inset photo, it is obvious that the angle from which that photo was taken was from a lower angle, causing the person to appear shorter than the tractor. The "Bigfoot" looks to be standing on a higher plane of elevation.

Beware the forest monsters
Many tales portray forests as being cold, damp, dark and rather spooky places that are inhabited by hobgoblins and where all sorts of nasty things happen.

This is probably an expression of our striving to control the environment around us and the trees represent a failure to do so…

A ballooning in sightings of UFO
After the Luton News reported the 50-year-old mystery of a UFO sighting over Ramridge Junior School it became clear that the town was not alien to the unusual. Among the many people who made contact with the paper after our front page report were other Lutonians whose lives have never been quite the same since they saw something strange in the sky…
“Haunted” house gets new life
The portraits of Dr. Victor Small and his wife, Suzanne, hang in separate rooms in the couple’s old home on College Street. Legend has it whenever the photographs are hung together, one of the oval pictures will mysteriously be taken off the wall.
