Loren Coleman: From an alleged Bigfoot in ice to a mysterious body on a beach, from a new manta ray to a giant elephant shrew, it was quite a year. It might not have been the year we wanted but it sure was the one we got...
The 'Lake Michigan Triangle' mystery
The Lake Michigan triangle is said to have similar characteristics of the Bermuda Triangle and is said to be a place of ghost ships, strange disappearances and even UFO sightings. "There's been some strange disappearances out there, there's been many ships that have been lost that haven't been found."..
A menagerie of monsters
Nick Redfern: For the last few days, our Dallas home has been pummeled by weather almost identical to that of my home-country of England.

A Cherokee legend attributes the wall to a mysterious band of "moon-eyed people" led by a Welsh prince named Madoc who appeared in the area more than 300 years before Columbus sailed to America...
