SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Nearly 15 hours after a riot at a Northern California prison, guards found a missing inmate sawed nearly in two, with his abdominal organs and most chest organs removed . . . There are no werewolves in this story, per se, but there might as well be. It provides a perfect,…

Whatizzit? Bear? Werewolf? Guy in a gorilla suit? Hell if I know.
It’s a bear! It’s a human! No, it’s a bear walking on its two hind legs like a human – at least that what it looks like. This video had some people shouting “Werewolf!” and others shouting “Hoax!” The consensus is that it’s a bear, walking on its hind legs like a human being. That’s…
Monster In The Making
It seemed to happen overnight. Just like that, a tidal wave swept through our lives and all the light drained from his eyes, that little boy was gone, a soulless being was left in its wake. “I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and the blackest eyes . . . I…
Hair today . . .
DNA analysis on hair samples allegedly from Bigfoot, Yeti and other similar cryptids yields reveals all were from known animals or humans. It’s so frustrating for a monster enthusiast like me. Every time somebody produces some “Bigfoot” hair, it turns out to belong to a completely different, and mundane, species of animal, frequently human. I…
How Much Is That Mummy In The Window?
Researchers have uncovered 8 million mummified animals dating back 2,500 years. Most are dogs. Archaeologist Salima Ikram says the huge number points to the likely existence of ancient puppy mills. It’s more or less common knowledge that the ancient Egyptians loved their cats, innit? Speaking for myself, anyway, I can’t remember a time when I…
In Mexico, don’t go outside if you’re a female…
Mariana is the latest in a growing number of girls and women who have disappeared, or worse, in the populous State of Mexico, which has become the most dangerous region for women in a country that is all too used to violence. There is something inherently sexual about the image of the werewolf, just as…
Stop in for a pint, and stay for the night. It’s not safe to be out!
I’m totally a country boy. I enjoy visiting the big cities. I find them exciting. But I could never live in one for any prolonged period of time. I’ve got too much of the wilderness in me. There’s a down side to living remote, as I do. For example, you just can’t find cool niche…
The Japanese Wolf–Dead or Alive?
These wolves experienced a long fall from its status as a divine entity, to become hunted fugitives slaughtered by the hundreds only to turn into a forgotten footnote of Japanese natural history and a sought after cryptid said to still exist in the wilds. These creatures are so rare that there are few surviving specimens…
Exorcising an entire country?
Exorcists recently performed an Exorcismo Magno or Great Exorcism on the entire country of Mexico to cast out demons and evil. Did it work? Who you gonna call? Call the Mass Exorcists! (I’m trusting my readers to detect the pun in this statement. Y’all don’t let me down, now.) Mexican holy men Juan Sandoval Iniguez,…
Mail-order Murderer
Matej Curko was an alleged Slovak cannibal who killed two young women and died in a firefight with the police force in May 10, 2011. At least the guy was POLITE about it. Instead of picking a victim at random, serial killer and cannibal Matej Curko made an effort to connect with somebody who wanted…
