In what would have made an amazing 1970s Tsuburaya produced tokusatsu sci-fi series, a group of Malaysian students would have a series of increasingly disturbing run-ins with what became a fleet of tiny UFOs and their even more diminutive, laser gun toting occupants who seemed hell-bent on invading of sovereign Earth soil.

In an event that seems culled straight from the pages of a Marvel comic book or the frames of a 1970s Toho sci-fi masterpiece; a group of awestruck witnesses watched in wide-eyed wonder as a colossal, silver suited humanoid grappled with an undulating, serpentine monstrosity in the surging, dark waters of the Black Sea. It was an astonishing incident; one which some perceived to be mortal adversar...

In the early 1930s, a family of three from the idyllic Isle of Man had a series of bizarre and ostensibly supernatural encounters with a highly intelligent, perversely witty and decidedly vexatious varmint of unknown origin. This wee beastie infested their home and held these unfortunate individuals under it's occasionally amusing, sometimes helpful and oft times ominous influence for the better p...

Since the earliest humans first gazed out into their seemingly endless expanse, the world's oceans have been the source of both wonder and terror. For centuries eerie tales of ghost ships like the Flying Dutchman and the Mary Celeste have been passed down from one generation of seafarer to the next, but as ill-omened as these haunted vessels are alleged to be there is another even more disturbing...

Not long after the turn of the millennia, a solitary outdoorsman had the shock of his life when — while on a routine hunting expedition — he stumbled across what he believes to be the remains of a colossal carcass in a remote area of Louisiana known as Devil's Swamp, but, as terrifying as the sight of those alleged remains were, it's what he saw next that would challenge his notions of reality. Br...

On a crisp autumn afternoon in 1974, a rugged oil man would turn from being a seasoned hunter to becoming terrified prey after a close encounter with a bizarre, semi-humanoid, drill fisted being that would not only test the limits of his imagination, but quite literally take him for the ride of his life.

In the summer of 1966, a group of boys stumbled across a macabre scene that would not only ignite decades of controversy, but also uncover one of the most distressingly bizarre mysteries ever to emerge from the inscrutable jungles of South America; an enigma which tragically claimed a pair of young lives and, according to an array of theories, may have involved smuggling, paranormal terrorists, ve...

Richard Freeman is a full time cryptozoologist. He searches for and writes about unknown animals. The melodramatic may call him a monster hunter. He has hunted for creatures such as the yeti (a dark haired, giant, upright ape in North India), the Mongolian death worm (a much feared burrowing reptile of the Gobi), the giant anaconda (a monster constricting snake in South America), the ninki-nanka (...

On a sweltering summer's day in the mid-1950s a pair of friends and their children decided to beat the heat by taking a dip in the cool depths of the Ohio River.

In the Spring of 1979, the citizens residing on Toronto's Parliament Street were swept up in a sea of paranoia following one man's terrifying encounter with a tiny, toothy and evidently intelligent primate-like monstrosity; an encounter that suggests that a colony of unknown hominoids may have made their home in the vast labyrinth of passages buried beneath Canada's largest city. Creatures that so...

In the early 1960s, the lives of a Brazilian father and his young sons would be utterly devastated by a home invasion consisting of a terrifying group of whispering shadows that were conspiring to kill, a pair of oddly shaped UFOs and a fog of noxious yellow smoke from which, for one of unlucky soul, there would be no return.

Cases of creatures showing up from the dark recess of the Earth's primordial past, or of alien entities that seem to have been generated beyond the boundaries and genetic rules of our home world have been the stuff of myth and legend since the dawn of humanity, but there is another altogether more subtle phenomenon; one that deals with human beings who are like us in every way save one—the world t...

Not long after the turn of the 20 th Century, a group of intrepid explorers set out to find a fabled cave in the mountainous, desert wastelands of South Africa. Though their journey had been fraught with danger, it would be nothing compared to the utterly bizarre beast that one of them would encounter within a cavernous orifice, which the indigenous Nama people had dubbed the "Wondergat" or, as it...

In the dead of winter, in the middle of the 20 th Century, a solitary axe man ventured into an isolated stretch of New Hampshire forest to cut down pine trees for the fast approaching yuletide season. Little could this intrepid seasonal businessman have predicted that his annual moneymaking venture would land him smack dab in the middle of one of the creepiest unidentified creature confrontations...

There is not a culture on Earth whose peoples do not have what some claim to be historical tales of mammoth, quasi-reptilian, often fire breathing monstrosities known as dragons. This globally ubiquitous beast's origins have been traced back to 40,000 years ago when legends of these savage saurians first emerged from Sub-Saharan Africa. But now, as modern technology canvasses the planet and tradit...

If the French New Wave maestro Jean-Luc Godard had decided to film a neo-realist, sci-fi interpretation of a Hardy Boys mystery, it could have been no more thought-provoking, surreal or disconcerting than the actual events that purportedly befell to a group of unsuspecting French youths autumn of 1973.

In the late 1970s, the proprietor of a Japanese snack bar was using his portable ham radio rig to talk to his brother from an isolated mountaintop perch when an alarming series of events unfolded which would twist the seemingly immutable laws of optical physics and eventually culminate in a startling physical encounter with an utterly bizarre inhuman entity who does not appear to have originated o...

The Mothman is far and away the most famous cryptid to hail from the great state of West Virginia. but, just twelve years earlier in the waning days of the summer of 1952, a group of courageous boys and one mother would have a harrowing encounter with a massive monstrosity so bizarre that, by century's end, it was destined to become a global pop culture sensation that would eventually rival even t...

Near the end of the 1950s – in the wee hours of a bitter January morning – a devoted mother was driving through a violent snowstorm in order to visit her son.

Crypto...
