Rare Monsters

  What follows is a report of a cryptid or alien creature that feels oddly connected to the previous entry of this blog. Yet the only thing that connects them is the cephalopod appearance of the creatures, and that both stories took place in Spain, albeit on opposite sides of the country.  In the summer of 1961 Arquimedes Sanchez and an unnamed coworker were driving through the Basque Mountains in the province of Vizcaya. They were hauling construction equipment, driving along the road at night. However the two of them knew the route well and had done this run many times before.  They were nearing their destination at Puerto de Barazar when an alarmingly strange creature climbed over the embankment on the side of the road and ran in front of the truck. It was an octopus like being covered in rusty red hair. It walked upright on four tentacles (yes, I know I drew six) and stood about 3 to 4 feet tall.  Mr Sanchez slammed on the breaks and stopped before hitting the cr...

  On August 16, 1968, in the Spanish countryside near Tivissa, John Mateu, an ordinary farmer, was going about his morning routines. It was 6am and the sun had just risen over the horizon. On a nearby hill some lights caught John Mateu’s eye. He assumed this was someone having car trouble and went up the hill to help them.  When Mr. Mateu reached the top of the hill he saw a dome shaped UFO, which he described as shaped like ‘half a watermelon’. The lights were coming from the flat bottom of the spacecraft, which hovered only 4 feet off the ground.  While observing the UFO Mr. Mateu noticed two creatures came running for the UFO. He described them as having bulbous bodies that stood on top tentacles, somewhat like an octopus. However they had grimacing faces instead of just a pair of eyes on their fronts. As well they had either four or five tentacles, that they stood upright on like legs. The aliens were only three feet in height.  The two aliens entered the space c...

  Most people have heard of the Chicago mothman sightings that happened between 2011 and 2018. Occurring among those events was as strange variation of flying humanoid. This isn't that surprising however, as the original Point Pleasant mothman flap involved many strange sightings of UFOs and creatures besides just the mothman itself, This sighting happened in 2015 in Howard Heights Illinois, a small town located near Chicago. Greg, no last name given, was coming home at 1:30 am,  from a late shift at work. He first spotted the monster when he pulled into his driveway. The creature was standing motionless in his backyard.  Overall the creature looked similar to mothman. It was black all over and had wings instead of arms, with an overall human frame. Although the body was  disproportionately small and its head disproportionately big. The creature had an elongated snout that tapered down to a point, similar to the cartoon characters in the old Spy vs Spy comics. It als...

  The Cape Sable serpent is a sea monster spotted in Cape Sable, off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1976. It was described as an ugly creature, covered in lumps and barnacles. It's head is like that of a wart hog, with bumps protruding off it's cheeks, and prominent tusks in its mouth. The creature's eyes are bloodshot and set on top of stalks, like a snail. It has a long serpentine body, 10 to 15 feet long and two feet thick. There's a back fin running down the length of its body and a fish like tail at the end. Its color is greyish brown in color. It moves through the water by undulating its body up and down, creating rows of humps that protrude out of the water. A swimming method seen in many sea serpents reports. The first sighting was on July 5, 1976. Eisner Penny was fishing off the coast of Cape Sable Island when he saw the sea serpent rising out of the water. He first thought the monster was a whale, but has he approached he realized it was unlike any a...
