The Proof Is Out There: "Truth or Legend?!" Top 7 Terrifying Myths

The first zoo in the United States opened in Philadelphia on July 1, 1874. Today there are more than 400 zoos operating in this country and they receive about 180 million visitors each year, but as you will see in our next story, perhaps Humans are not the only ones who come to observe what is inside. May 21, 2022 Amarillo Texas it is around 1:25 AM. m. and the zoo's security cameras keep their sleepless eyes on their animals as they capture this: A strange figure just outside the zoo's perimeter lurks in the darkness as we push inside, the figure appearing to be standing. on two legs, just on the other side of the fence, looking in, surprised by the size of the creature and its wolf-like head, the Amarillo Zoo has begun asking the general public for help to find out what could be this unidentified Yellow object.

Look, look, this bipedal creature is quite disconcerting. The image goes viral and thousands of people see it. Now let's take a closer look at this image. Many people have said that they can make out fur on this thing's arms and pointy ears on the other one's head. On the other hand, some people say that he stands like a human and looks like he's wearing pants and they see it as a jacket, but to me I have no idea. Field researcher Ken Gart cites the figures as a reference to an infamous creature from folklore, one theory is that it could in fact be a Chupacabra, a famous creature that has been talked about throughout Latin American culture since the 1990s. and it is a type of blood-sucking creature.

The name Chupacabra actually means Chupacabra because it is alleged that these creatures will drink the blood of goats and other small farm animals. I have examined the remains of several creatures that have been called Chupaca and all of those animals showed very dog-like features, pointed ears, long snouts, strange skin, long fangs, other physical anomalies over a two month period in 2010, More than 300 goats were sacrificed in rural areas of Mexico. Ranchers believe these deaths were due to a Chupacabra stalking their livestock. So could this image be a Chupacabra stalking the zoo? Our experts investigate. Biology professor Floyd Hayes begins by estimating the creature's size.

To me, it looks like the fence. itself may be 12 feet tall, the animal appears to be maybe 6t behind the fence which would make it smaller, it appears to be about half the height of the fence, perhaps it is about 7 and 1/ 2 feet tall, that is much larger than the supposed size of a Chupacabra and there is another problem, the Chupacabra is supposedly a quadruped or four-legged animal, but it appears to be bipedal rather than quadrupedal bipedal means it walks on two legs. Next wildlife biologist Stephanie Shuler examines the creature's hair. Chupacabras are described as more hairless with the gray, scaly skin in this image appearing to be more shaggy.

She appears to have long hair, especially on top, so she doesn't fit the description, and although sightings of the creature have been reported, Shudler says no evidence has yet been discovered. evidence of animals that were thought to be Chupacabras always ended up being a whipped species like a coyote dog or a fox with mange Demodectic mange is caused by a parasite M that lives in the hair follicles of canines to get rid of the parasites that the canines they scratch at its fur and skin until it falls off, but the biggest red flag of all is why Zo only posted one image from such an amazing Discovery camera trap.

When they activate they usually take several photos, so I would love to see the before and after photos. There is rarely a singular photo of an animal when the cameras are activated. I suspect this was a publicity stunt by Amarel. Ooo, if they really wanted to find out what this animal was, there would definitely be more photos of it. Now wait a second if this. it's a hoax so the zoo has been keeping up the hoax for months our verdict unidentified creature a Seattle-based company specializing in wireless cameras donated 80 color night vision cameras to the Amarillo Zoo after this image went viral, per So if this creature reappears, there should be plenty of testing to determine what it is by May 2021.

Queensland-based Yahoi researcher Dean Harrison and his team are testing infrared cameras in Springbrook National Park. They chose this location because they believe they have seen traces of Yahi activity among the undergrowth and that The night these mysterious images capture, the thermal images appear to show a lone figure hiding behind or even hugging a large tree trunk. Now this is doing what Ys does: they hug a tree, they pretend to be part of a tree if there's a human in it. area and they just blend in so you can see just by putting their head minutes later, the image changes now it looks like there are a couple, two giant creatures emerge from the Fage and one bends down to pick something up while bending, you can also do Find out what It looks like the head of one of the creatures, it appears to be cone-shaped, the figures are large, with broad shoulders and AP length proportions.

Field researcher Cliff Barkman, who has been to Australia to study the self, says the images align with descriptions of indigenous people dating back to C. CES, all the Aborigines there have drawings on their walls. caves that represent these things; are also prevalent in their narrative traditions, but then the settlers arrived in the late 18th century and they too began encountering Y, which is another very strong indicator that You Are Now a Real Biological Animal. Bigfoot-like creatures are part of folklore around the world. Nepal has the yeti. Mongolia has the soul. One theory is that they all descend from a single Asian ancestor, some of whom came to Australia while others crossed over.

Land Bridge came to North America and evolved into Bigfoot. If this video were real, it might help prove that theory, but that's important if there's some kind of creature involved, so to speak, it's something that gives off a heat signature and, as we go through different f sets of filters the motion of this object is consistent there is something happening here that is moving look at the images with this filter now the head looks better it appears to have a pronounced sagittal crest a ridge of bone along the top of the skull it is similar to what seen in the skulls of early hominids ostapius, which some believe is the common ancestor of Bigfoot yahoi and other similar creatures, but Primo is cautious, although we have not found any evidence to support that the record was fabricated, we have no idea what is it about Below is our zoologist Roxy Ferman analyzing the anatomy of the figures.

What we can see clearly in a moment is that there are two animals in the photo. It also appears to be a bipedal animal, meaning it walks on two legs, which might make you think of a primate. but here's a key fact: there are no known primates native to Australia; in fact, the only bipedal animals are the casu and the kangaroo, which look nothing like this, so how do we explain the heat signatures in those head shapes? Ferman believes he may have the answer. using headlights, that would explain why the heads, um, are a bit strangely shaped, that would mean that the people were misidentified or that their participants were participants in an elaborate hoax, perhaps the Australian version of the Patterson Gimlin film, If that was a hoax too, but anthropologist Kathy Strain says that in this case size does matter, the research team returned to the site in daylight and measured the tree that matched the thermal images as best they could to get an idea of ​​the size of the figures in the infrared video.

Whatever it is, it's over 8 feet tall. The possibility that they are humans is very unlikely. I came to the conclusion that what this video shows are two real yoi. I think it's one of the most important films made in at least 50 years, so yes, there's a chance it's a hoax, but a based one. According to Professor Strain's estimate of the creature's height, we are going to say that they are possible, yahs havia El loyaltyo Philippines, a CCTV security camera activates on a warm afternoon in July 2021, the camera captures a dimly lit street where a woman later identified on the news as Mary Lou sits in front of her house cleaning dishes unbeknownst to Marylou, a stranger approaches from behind and then quickly and silently arrives, the woman continues down the street, she reaches a tree , then apparently doubles over and falls to the ground, the woman begins to crawl. on all fours with her back to Mary Lou terrified Mary Lou gets up and threatens to throw a bucket of water at her the woman turns around and runs away look at this moment again some people say that not only does she bend over but she transforms a week later another alleged sighting in the same village captured by a second CCTV camera, this time the person or creature changes between crawling and jumping as we push, we see a woman leaving her house and then jumps back in shock, it doesn't look like a land creature , the legs are bent in strange directions and there is a long neck right there.

Field researcher Cliff Barkman says the sightings made local news and some believed the video captured a famous Filipino creature known as an awang. One of the many stories about awang is that during the day They are like people, they are people from your village that you may even know, but after nightfall they change shape, they have rabisca tongues to lick the blood, they get on all fours, They change shape and turn their legs strangely. The awang positions are said to be responsible for miscarriages in the community or really anything bad like a child dying of some disease, it's kind of a general Boogyman if you want your children to behave like you don't go out, awang, They are out there, the awang are there.

It is believed that we take the form of vampires, we, dogs and witches. It is said that they can be protected with salt. Ash or urine, depending on who you ask. Is this creature mythical? What we are seeing here we will have to ask our biology experts, Professor Floyd Hayes. He applies what is known as kinematics to the second video, the study of animal locomotion. This creature appears to be quite flexible in its mode of locomotion. It appears to be jumping and transitioning between being quadrupedal and bipedal, unlike what has been reported for the awang. Then, it turns to the anatomy of the creatures, in my opinion, the proportions of the body are very similar to that of a human, the hind limbs appear to be much longer than the four limbs and the feet point forward when we align these proportions with those of a human that certainly looks like a couple. for the head, the head is pretty dark in the picture, but it looks like he's actually taking off a hat as he exits the video.

Anthropologist Kathy Strain believes that some Legends are legitimate sightings of real creatures, but she is skeptical that this particular clip could be a hoax. because when the creature gets to this tree it appears and looks to see if this person is coming out of their door which is more human and because they want to make sure they are seen, if it is a fake strain they believe it might be serving a higher purpose Folklore has a place in society to teach certain skills or certain beliefs Mythology in all cultures serves to reinforce cultural norms such as the imperative that children stay inside at night get them home on time to be generally afraid of strangers and we actually tracked down the guy who made the second video and he admitted that he organized the stunt after being inspired by Mary L's first video, not for fun but to help with covid quarantine compliance during the pandemic after watching that video, I was thinking. which could be an inspiration for me to get my hopes up so I made the video for community purposes just to force kids to stay inside their house because it was in the middle of a pandemic this is actually the mask I wear. time, that may explain the second video, but what about the first one that inspired it?

It's possible that a real awang is responsible for terrorizing Marylou in the alley when this lady comes back to her and gets on all fours, she's being typical of her. Awang, according to the Filipino people, has now entered a different state where she is no longer human and her attempt to approach her without being seen indicates to me that she wanted to harm that lady, but you do not have a clear vision of what It looks like it was once completely lying on the ground, it's a little dark, it's behind a fence. I'm willing to say I don't really know what happened there, so we have a split decision.

We know the second clip is a hoax, but I can't say that with certainty about the first as the Wongs are traditionally women and while we don't know this woman's intention or mental state, we do know that she was crawling and Mary Lou I was really scared, we will be attentive to anything.future between sightings April 2022 a couple in their 50s on holiday in the Scottish Highlands after waking up early on a Monday morning and heading out with their camera, the couple is enjoying the eerie view of the calm waters of Loch Ness when they record this on The Earth is that, if we look at it closer, as we zoom in and focus the image, it looks like a creature moving through the water, so it's true that this video was difficult to make out, but first I want to call its attention to a couple of features that really intrigue us.

After all, it is this trail that leads us to believe that this is actually a creature moving through the water and then this hump here is so consistent with other sightings of the Loch Ness Monster that some researchers have called this the most significant footage ever obtained. Loch's Nest over the last 20 years doesn't seem to have an artificial or staged quality yes, it's coming a long way now it looks like whatever they're filming is really there in Loch Ness field researcher Ken Gart says The elusive

legend

ary creature affectionately known As Nessie has had his fair share of moments caught on camera, the first convincing image of the Loch Ness Monster dates back to November 1933 and then in April 1934 something known as the Surgeon's Photographic Surface appeared.

They show a small head , a long neck and a hump that protrudes from the lake's nest and quickly achieved worldwide fame. Unfortunately, in the 1990s researchers proved that the surgeon's photograph was actually a hoax, but the sightings continue to this day. Nessie is often described as an aquatic creature. have two humps, which has led to the theory that there is a surviving plesiosaur swimming beneath the surface of the lock. Plesiosaurs were an archaic marine reptile that lived alongside dinosaurs until the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago. They were about 20 or 30 feet long they had a very large body with a long neck and a small head, four fins and a very powerful tail and in some ways this fits with some of the witnesses and counts of Nessie, but Gart says that there are a good reason why many Nessie sightings remain unexplained to this day.

The Nest Lock is incredibly deep at up to 754 feet and what is really problematic in terms of research is that the water is very dark despite those challenges. Researchers have managed to gather convincing evidence that something is lurking in the lock dating back to Since 1954 there have been literally dozens of sonar contacts with large animated objects swimming in 20- to 30-foot-long lock nests, usually shaped like snake, and as recently as this year there was a sonar contact at a depth of about 500 feet from a large snake. unidentified object about 20 to 30 feet long, adding to the evidence that the lake monster exists.

The lake nest contains approximately 263 billion cubic feet of water, which is more than all the water in all the lakes, rivers and reservoirs in all of England. and Wales combined, so this video could be the latest

proof

that Nessie is somewhere in there. We turned to our experts to find out. Forensic video expert Michael Primo determines whether this video is another hoax in terms of authenticity. Nothing appears to be CGI. The video appears. to be consistent and play consistently uh no editing or splicing was detected through media interrogation analysis of digital information through Medics uh we were able to confirm the authenticity of this video and it is genuine so if the video is real, what We are looking?

I turned to marine biologist Dr. Shay Conger to break it down. You can actually see, based on the other objects around it, that this animal is not just moving through the water, but is actually sailing. You can see it turning towards the coast. To me, that means it's not something. being towed or something caught in the water, this is actually a very large animal. I think it moves across the surface of Loch Ness, so a dinosaur thought extinct for 65 million years actually survived in the frigid, murky waters of Loch Ness. Plesiosaurs actually inhabited this. area, but plesiosaurs were known to be very large voracious predators, so there would have to be plenty of food to sustain a remnant dinosaur.

It would be very difficult for a plesiosaur to get enough food, so I can rule out it being some kind. Additionally, Congress says that in one of the largest DNA studies of its kind, scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand were able to identify the presence of around 3,000 species in the deep, dark waters of Loch Ness. This 2019 study actually ruled out the idea of ​​some plesiosaurs living in Lochness because there was no genetic material associated with it that was found. Researchers also identified DNA from whales and dolphins in Loch nness. However, Coner rules them out because you can't see a dorsal fin in the video, but she has a guess that Edna's study actually showed a lot of eel DNA and lock, and this raises the possibility that such Although the Lagoness Monster is actually just a large eel that is mentioned on the surface, if it is an eel, it is huge, which is fascinating in itself.

It remains a mystery and we're not really sure what we're seeing in the lockdown. Our verdict is going to be that it is possibly a giant eel, although we can't say for sure what species, perhaps one that didn't. It's still been discovered, but the mystery is far from solved, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for more evidence. July 2020 monday chat new york new york a young couple walks on the beach it's noon and they're both looking for driftwood on the shore. They noticed some kind of strange smell in the air as they got closer, they realized that there was a dead animal washed up on the beach, something that definitely doesn't seem normal.

Take a closer look at the decomposing dead creature of unknown origin. His body has swollen skin. It's all tanned probably from floating in the ocean for a couple of days and can you imagine the stench that the corpse is very reminiscent of another famous find near the so-called mon talk monster? News headlines appeared around the world in July 2008 when a strange creature found on the shores of Ditch Plains everyone had a theory about the 2008 photos some wondered if the creature was a shellless turtle some speculated it was a pit bull that had been beaten in an underground dog fight or a dead raccoon whose fur had grown into the ocean and what was happening with that apparent beak could be something unnatural.

Almost immediately conspiracy theories began circulating online that this creature was actually from Plum Island, which is the center of a disease research center maintained by the United States. The government, a 1971 New York Times article described the facility as Devil's Island for the deadliest animal disease germs known to man and the debunked conspiracy theory claimed it was the source of Lyme disease, which which added to the mystery that the rotting corpse disappeared before it could be properly analyzed. Of course, people are going to connect the dots, this thing has to be from that thing because I don't know what this is and I don't know what that is, so they're probably related during the Cold War.

Plum Island was the site. of a secret biological weapons program targeting livestock, is currently run by the Department of Homeland Security, so what to make of this recent discovery of the grizzly bear, the mon talk monster of 2020? We show the photos to our experts. This animal at first glance may seem abnormal, marine biologist Dr. Shay Conger considers the Plum Island theory and says that neither of the two monok monsters appear mutant. I can tell that this animal is not some kind of deformed creature because it has all the typical aspects of a mammal's skeletal structure, so could it be a sea creature of some kind, wildlife biologist Lucy Eckersley takes a closer look and you can see it has all four limbs joined together and a thin tail that says mammal and sees hands which means it is a land creature from what I can see in these pictures. an animal that walks on all fours could maybe also climb trees it could probably grab things with its limbs, but it also looks quite stocky and round so you wouldn't necessarily think of it as a fast moving predator that runs after its prey. that rolls We distinguish a canine as a pit bull, the features I see here include the teeth and body structure and in particular the small front paws that appear to have very thin and flexible toes.

This is relatively easy to identify as a raccoon. It's a raccoon, experts say. Yeah, and the original Mon Talk monster could have been one too and that beak probably has decaying bones and cartilage from a snout. Some of the fur is missing, but most of the muscles are still intact. Many animals, if you remove their fur, look very, very different. Lucy is right: she looks at this creature, can you name it? It turns out that it is a hairless bear, so an animal like a raccoon, if you take away its fluffy tail, will look quite unusual, so I don't blame these people for being unsure.

What this is is that you know it never helps when the carcasses of these animals disappear, fueling conversations about conspiracy, but in this case we can know a lot about the creatures' body structure, teeth and claws. Our verdict, this is the carcass of a raccoon. May 2021. Saskatchewan, Canada, two security guards are working a 12-hour night shift on a Cree First Nations Reserve when they discover they are not alone. Footage shared on Tik Tok shows a grassy slope next to a parking lot as a robotic voice narrates a Tik Tock staple. user comments when we work night security 8:00 p.m. at 8:00 am. and we see something coming towards us at midnight, it is difficult to distinguish it, but it appears to be an almost translucent humanoid figure walking towards the security guards, the figure seems to blend into tall grass and has no identifying features as the camera approaches the car. suddenly turns around and the video cuts out the images spark a frenzy of speculation on Tik Tok one of the most popular theories is that security guards had an encounter with something called a skin walker when Native Americans In folklore and specifically in the Navajo traditions we hear references to beings known as Skin Walkers and these are shamans or practitioners of dark magic who are shapeshifters that can transform from a human to any type of animal, it is usually for malevolent reasons, in fact in 1878 the hysteria about the Skin Walkers It culminated in the Navajo Witch Purge when 40 suspected witches were killed to restore harmony and balance to the tribe.

These Skin Walkers are greatly feared by the Navajo; In fact, it is forbidden to mention the name because it brings bad luck and will cause damnation to those who mention that name. There may also be a reason why this creature chose these security guards. There are theories that these Skin Walkers are attracted to certain people. Individuals the premise behind this is to lure unsuspecting victims into the depths of the desert and cause harm or assimilation to the Skin Walkers. Since October 2020 alone, hundreds of videos with the Skinwalker hash have been posted on Tik Tok representing 39 million visits, so this meteoric rise and the Skin Walker videos could lead to incontrovertible

proof

that these evil beings exist in the wild.

Biologist Dr. Stephanie Shuler analyzes the video and doesn't see much to support the Skinwalker theory. It looks like a man walking, but you don't actually see any clothing. He seems like a total Ray figure. To me, it's strange that they can. they make shapes into different animals, they look very human and it doesn't seem to look like any animals in this area at all or even any exotic animals and she says there's an even bigger red flag. I also don't understand why the camera falls. I understand that they are afraid, but they are really interested in getting this.

It seems like they would have the camera on all the time. We then took the video to science writer Mick West, who is totally willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. In reality, it could be some kind of encrypted image coming out of the foliage toward the car, but because it's such a low-resolution video and because it's so highly compressed, we can't do the normal types of analysis that we do to see if there are signs of falsification. Still, West isn't ready to call this a legitimate fur walker, instead offering another theory, such as seeing a shape suddenly appear among the foliage that is amorphous and looks like a figure walking toward the road if someone would like to fake this or someone was trying to scare someone else, then you could get thiseffect easily by just having someone in a green camouflage suit and get out of the background, there may be some kind of strange creatures in the desert. which we haven't discovered before, but this really isn't very good evidence for it, so I guess I'll have to go with a guy in a suit, let's go ahead and call these sightings a human probably wearing some kind of camouflage like a gilly suit, so there's no need to cancel your upcoming camping plans, but keep your eyes and ears open and if something happens right, we suggest sneaking out just in case.

October 2016 Craig McKay of the Alaska Bureau of Land Management is looking at the China River in Fairbanks, when he notices something extremely peculiar in the water, it appears to be between 20 and 25 feet long and when we get closer, it appears to be swimming against the current. I looked down and saw this really strange object, it was much bigger than anything I've seen in the river and undulating or swaying back and forth in the current, it was really eerie given the location of this discovery. Field researcher Ken Gart says we should consider local folklore in Alaska, we have a number of Legends about aquatic creatures, Inuit culture talks about something called tisak, which is a long, serpentine animal with a long head and a prominent tail fin .

There are many stories of tits actually snatching people from bridges or canoes and voraciously devouring them. It is said that descriptions of the tisser rock vary, but the most

terrifying

form is said to be a giant eel-like creature with transparent skin that not only allows observers to see still-digesting victims, but also causes the creature is less visible when stalking its prey. The Iliamna Lake Monster, which is also known as The Jig knock, this particular monster has been reported several times. It's described as 10 to 30 feet long with a torpedo-shaped body and a dull aluminum color, so you know we have to ask it.

The question could be related to those stories. Early Jig igno stories described fish-like monsters that traveled in groups and attacked canoes. So is that or one of its descendants what we're looking at here? Let the experts decide, marine biologist Dr. Shay Conger. says that if this thing were a snake it is unlikely that it would have accumulated snow on its back and as for snakes there are no water snakes in Alaska, this is because reptiles and amphibians are exothermic, they depend on the environment to maintain body heat and there really isn't enough heat to allow these species to persist in this area, so Dr.

Conger looks for clues about the hydrology of the scene, the movement of water appears to move back and forth across from the water, as you would expect from an animal with a tail to swim against the current, but wait, look again when the video zooms out a bit, you can see that this object does not appear to be moving forward at all, but is simply fixed on its place and is hit by the current moving downstream, therefore, I conclude this. It's not a biological object, but some kind of debris, like a piece of rope or fishing line embedded in ice, so there you have it.

Our verdict based on Dr. Conger's hydrological analysis. This is a frozen rope, but sightings of Alaskan lake and river monsters continue. to this day, are they all misidentifications or is there really something down there? We will continue looking for more videos until we have an answer.
