The title says all. Share your strange experiences, encounters, post articles, post anything to get the hair on the back on the neck standing.Let's get some scary poo started.  ;D
I'll start with an article I found today.

Is strange carcass another ?Montauk Monster??
Blogger says new remains found on N.Y. beach smell like 'rotten garbage'


An odd creature has apparently washed up on New York's coast, sparking claims that it may be another so-called "Montauk Monster."

A similar carcass sparked an online and media frenzy last July after appearing at a popular surfing spot near Montauk, N.Y.

Nicky Papers, who runs a Web site dedicated to the mystery, says he was contacted by a couple on May 5 who "think they?ve found what appears to be the Montauk Monster" on the North Fork of Long Island.

Papers wrote that he traveled to Southold, N.Y., to view the remains.

"The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage," Papers wrote. "It really smelled horrific. I couldn?t help but take numerous pictures of it and video clips."

He said the carcass was being kept in a "cooler full of ice."

'Race against the clock'
Papers suggested there might be a link between the creature and the nearby Plum Island Animal Disease Center.

"If this is a genetic mishap from Plum Island, we?d like to sell the remains to an independent lab for study," he wrote on www.montauk-monster.com. "It has become a race against the clock as the couple who originally found 'Beastie' are diligently putting more ice into the cooler to keep the carcass fresh."

Papers says he's "dedicated quite a bit of time to debunking all theories presented regarding the Montauk Monster" since establishing his Web site last summer.

"I haven't ruled out biological warfare on this yet," Papers added. "A diseased carcass floating in waterways around Long Island could be infecting the water."

Some bloggers speculated that the original "Montauk Monster" may have been a viral marketing ploy for an indie movie while others suggested it may actually be a decomposing dog, pig or raccoon.

If you ask my humble autopsological  ??? opinion, that looks like a dog, partially decomposed with marine water, it resembles a pig because it has gotten swollen which normally happens a few days, (2-3 days to be precise)

Wait..it looks just like that picture from a couple of years ago..only with less garbage on it ???

Maybe they figured out how that one was faked..and did this one.. *wonders where to look for that other picture...*

Plus..what kind of boring disgusting movie would feature a dead beach lump? :D

..and what a crap publicity stunt that would be if they killed a living thing for such a dumb reason :(

Last year when those guys faked that Bigfoot thing they figured it out right away.

heh...I want to crawl in the picture and look at it closer :D ... 2D is so frustrating :P

I mean, do they just like, sniff garbage ? Or do they actualy study the diferent smells of garbage?( frash, not so fresh, rotting, decrepit etc.?)

The day after we were posting here, I was talking to a woman about New Orleans. But, we'd been strictily talking about 'cultural' aspects of it. Then out of nowhere she brought up that when her friend was little she'd seen the Honey Island Swamp Monster. *snorts* freaky! ..it was weird how the conversation took that turn o_O Then I scared myself on my way home that night :D

St. Augustine Monster

The St. Augustine Monster is the name given to a large unidentified carcass, originally postulated to
be the remains of a gigantic octopus, that washed ashore on the United States coast near St. Augustine,
Florida, in 1896. It is sometimes referred to as the Florida Monster or St. Augustine Giant Octopus, and is
one of the earliest recorded examples of a globster.
A globster, or blob, is an unidentified organic mass that washes up on the shoreline of an ocean or other body of water.

Or else they're so obviously real they're stored in massive crates and containment units somewhere. But it couldn't be anywhere unobvious.

I know back in the 60s and 70s the Air Force here in America hid away alot of investigative material .
Project Bluebook investigated hundreds of sightings and no matter what they said it was weather balloons and luminous swamp gas.
Cant let the population know we arent alone.
Its just ignorance that we are the only life in the universe.
I once met a cryptozoologist that ran into alot from the American Zoological Society about his investigations ( look up Dr. Gary Morgan) saying he jumped to too many conclusions.
 The scietific and investigative societies are very jealouse about their personal egos.

oops. sorry. That was unnecessarily vague. Plus, I misspelled ?plane? as plan :P

Wendover is an airplane hangar. Specifically the one that housed the Enola Gay. But its location has the typical remote desert vibe. Plus, because of its design, it just begs to be used as a giant storage facility. It looks like a U-Store-it self storage unit for mysterious government cover-up evidence. So obvious, that it?s unobvious ::)

Nikola Tesla and Leonardo Da Vinci both made drawings for "eternal energy" engines... (Probably not really, but just follow me on this)

But even in our modern day society, our greatest minds can't understand their thought process...
We just can't understand how they were thinking...

And thats whats really keeping mankind back:

We fail to recognize the genius in front of us, because we fail to understand him/her...

So we just let them drift trough life, making their drawings, and after their dead, we try
fruitlessly to decipher their brilliant ideas.

Nikola and Leonardo are well known, because to some extent they were recognized in their time.
But how many of mankind's brightest minds are simply labeled crazy people..?

*considers the possibilites none the less... ;D ..er..not the banana one, one of my own design*

In one book I just read the multiverses were well defined, and almost too rigid. There were 3 earths with some similarities, and lots of difference also, and portals had been constructed to pass between them. The book I?m reading now, the number of multiverses is constantly updating...but, at the same time everything is a whole of the entirety. That idea makes lots more sense to me. So... is that whay hyper geometry is?..the idea of multiverses?

And, someone just snapped the picture at an odd moment, like when it was getting ready to leap fo a ball. It just proves that if you look at something long enough, it's possible to convince yourself about a non reality.

yeah, it's cool and funny .  ;D

Finding a baby werewolf would be weird. It would ba all sweet and innocent and helpless.. so you'd feel drawn to care for it. But then it might grow up and eat your face off.

On topic:  My dad didn't know women shave, he thought the hair just falls off and by shaving you ruin it all somehow and have to shave for the rest of your life.

Unless shaving is a conspiracy made up by the big oil companies...

Ill have to tell you all about a camping trip I took back in 91 when I have more time.
I saw bigfoot.
 If you look up Monsterquest and watch a few of the episodes about bigfoot, youll see the area I live in.

Back in 1993 we had a few hunters out in the Ouichita national Forest ( i live in the middle of it) that shot something they couldnt recognize.
When they called park officials they called the Oklahoma Zoological Society in Oklahoma City.
They came out , bagged it up and told the hunters not to talk about it and that they didnt see anything.
They described it as a hunched over humanoid covered in hair that had to be about 8 feet tall.

haha. I drink lots of tea too. Not any kind in specific, but usually some herbal tea or a tea derived from some kind of berry. I also never drink my tea with sugar because I'm hardcore like that.  :P Oh, I also love Green Tea. Awesome stuff, does much to energize me in the mornings when I'm feeling especially poopy. When I'm tired or need to relax or sleep, I drink Raspberry tea. That stuff knocks me out right away. That or chamomile tea. I'd say it's an Egyptian tea, but typically, Egyptians stick to one kind of tea their entire lives. No joke.  :D  Also, herbal teas are unheard of there. And if they are, they're definitely not approached.  :D

I thought this was an interesting current events issue that would apply to this thread -

Haiti's voodoo priests object to mass burials
Sun, Jan 17 2010
By Joseph Guyler Delva

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Haiti's voodoo priests are objecting to anonymous mass burials as an improper way to handle the tens of thousands of dead from the earthquake -- and have taken their complaint to President Rene Preval.

Dumping the dead in hurriedly excavated mass graves without proper rites is seen as desecration in a country where many believe in zombies -- dead bodies brought back to life by supernatural forces who could persecute the living.

Haitian officials say so far at least 50,000 bodies have been dumped in mass graves outside the shattered capital, Port-au-Prince, in what they view as the most efficient way to dispose of the fast-rotting corpses from Tuesday's disaster.

"It is not in our culture to bury people in such a fashion," Haiti's main voodoo leader, Max Beauvoir, said in a meeting with Preval.

Local radio is broadcasting messages for Haitians to put bodies recovered from under the rubble of collapsed buildings on the street for collection by garbage and other trucks.

"The conditions in which bodies are being buried is not respecting the dignity of these people," Beauvoir, who was educated at City College of New York and the Sorbonne in Paris, said in the Preval meeting this weekend.

More than half of Haiti's 9 million people are believed to practice voodoo, a religion with roots in Africa. Some 80 percent also are Catholic and most Haitians see no conflict between the two.

Five days after the earthquake, scores of untouched corpses, now bloated and stinking, remain on streets. Red Cross officials have repeatedly said no one should fear disease from dead bodies after the earthquake that is believed to have killed up to 200,000 people.

"I don't understand why everyone is worried about a disease risk," Haitian Red Cross President Michaelle Amedee Gedeon told Reuters. "Do we have cholera in Haiti? No. Do we have the plague in Haiti? No. Rodents, water will not get contaminated. The only bad effect from the corpses is the smell."

On Sunday, more bodies appeared overnight, with locals saying they were thieves burned and shot by lynch-mobs, gangs and police. They said about 20 people were killed like that.

It's actually really sad though. Not sad if some crooked voodoo priest is working the system for power and money and risking a health issue.

..but.. it's still sad.

To them their worries are valid. And burying the dead is a big deal to cultural identities. It's bad enough they don't have food, water. or shelter... now they're guilt ridden and in fear of their own relatives >_<

Plus their zombie fears go way farther back then pop cultures obsesion with zombies, which makes it a deeper internalized fear. Even in pop culture ...lots of the zombie movies are centered around that area of the world. The Serpent and the Rainbow, or even something like I Walked with a Zombie was made all the way back in 1943.

Even if I don't believe in something, I can empahize with them. And it's a cruddy thing for them to have to worry about on top of everything else.

Death 'looms for Saudi sorcerer'
By Sebastian Usher
BBC News, London

The lawyer for a Lebanese man sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for witchcraft has appealed for international help to save him.

Ali Sabat was the host of a popular Lebanese TV show in which he predicted the future and gave advice.

He was arrested by religious police on sorcery charges while on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in 2008.

His lawyer, May el-Khansa, says she has been told Mr Sabat is due to be executed this week.

Ms Khansa has contacted the Lebanese president and prime minister to appeal on his behalf.

There has been no official confirmation from Saudi Arabia, but executions there are often carried out with little warning.

Mr Sabat did make a confession, but Ms Khansa says he only did so because he had been told he could go back to Lebanon if he did.

Human rights groups have accused the Saudis of "sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police".

An Egyptian working as a pharmacist in Saudi Arabia was executed in 2007 after having been found guilty of using sorcery to try to separate a married couple.

There is no legal definition of witchcraft in Saudi Arabia, but horoscopes and fortune telling are condemned as un-Islamic.

Nevertheless, there is still a big thirst for such services in the country where widespread superstition survives under the surface of strict religious orthodoxy.

There were no witches burned in Salem.
