Alien Octopoids

 


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 craft via a ramp which lowered for them. The ramp then rose back up. And right after the UFO sped off into the sky and out of sight. 

Mr. Mateu returned to his farm only to find out from his wife, and his brother Sebastian, that he had been missing for an entire day, which John Mateu had no memory of. Adding to the strangeness of the situation, his wife and brother were going about their ordinary chores for the day and were not the least bit concerned that John had been missing. 

Later that day John and Sebastian went to the top of the hill to look for any traces of the UFO or aliens. They found grass which had been burned in a perfect oval, just like the shape of the UFO. Furthermore they found several other patches of similarly burned grass, which looked older, as if the aliens had been visiting the hill top for the past few weeks unnoticed. 

The two brothers were able to convince a scientist to come out and look at the burn marks. The scientist couldn’t determine what caused the burns, but noted that there was a higher than normal electrical field in the burn patch. John and Sebastian also observed that their watches would stop inside the burned area. 

The case became known to the public on August 27 of the same year, when Sebastian wrote to the Barcelona Tele-Express news paper about his brother’s experiences. He took great lengths to hide his and his brother’s identity, providing fake names and no return address. The eastern Spanish countryside became covered in UFO hunters, who desperately searched for the location of the UFO and the two brother’s identities. Unfortunately for the Mateu brothers, their identities were uncovered. Both of them refused to be interviewed or provide further information, feeling that their privacy had already been unduly disrupted by these hunters.

Jimplecute

Image
  The jimplecute is a vampiric reptile from Ozark legend. It is a rarely heard of fearsome critter and shouldn't be confused with the gowrow, the more famous reptile from the region. There are two different descriptions of the jimplecute. The original appearance is of a long serpentine reptile, yet still baring short legs. It has skin the texture of dead leaves, which allows it to hide better in the forests. It even had the chameleon like ability to change color, so to blend in with leaves of different seasons. This jimplecute is able to wrap around its victims like a python to immobilize them while it feeds on their blood. The more modern version of the jimplecute is of a vampiric dinosaur, usually something similar to a raptor. This interpretation comes from the book We Always Lie to Strangers by Vance Randolph, which is a book about Ozarks folklore. There Mr Randolph describes the jimplecute as a prehistoric. Although I think he meant that all reptiles are primitive in his e...

Nguruvilu

Image
  The nguruvilu is a monster from Mapuche legend in Chile. It looks like an elongated fox, which can coil around like a snake. It's still fur covered like a fox. It has long sharp claws. The name nguruvilu means fox snake in Mapuche. The nguruvilu lives an amphibious life in rivers and can hide itself in the form of common water creatures. It's a dangerous trickster who drags people underwater and drowns them. The nguruvilu can make the water deep or shallow. It can make the river look inviting to lure people in and can also make whirlpools and rapids at will. It delights in drowning lone victims and watches the village morn. The only way to get rid of an nguruvilu is through the efforts of a machi, the Mapuche version of a shaman. At the river's edge the machi will make offerings to the gods and good spirits to protect him. Then he will dive underwater and guided by good magic will capture the nguruvilu in the form of a fish, frog or snake. He then threatens the nguruvi...

Ophiotaurus

Image
  The ophiotaurus was a monster who's front half was that of a bull, with a snake's tail replacing the back legs. It's only known appearance was from Fasti by Ovid. Although he's retelling a story from the lost Greek poem Titanomachia. The ophiotaurus was a primordial being existed at the beginning of time when the world was forming. At that time animals were not fully formed and so had miss matched parts from the wrong species. The ophiotaurus, as well as the other first animals, were born from the goddess Gaia without a mate. The bull was so toxic that its flesh could kill any being. If its entrails were burned (such as was done in ritual sacrifices) then the smoke would kill the gods. The bull was otherwise peaceful and not inclined to harm other creatures. Because of this the bull was trapped in a triple walled ring, within an endless dark forest, on the far side of the river Styx. During the Titanomachy one of the titans' allies, either Briareus the Hecatonch...
