Chupacabra could have been an alien, if you want to stretch into the paranormal talk here. There are lots of reports of aliens (or something) mutilating animals in weird ways like that. Where as teh rest of the world would blame the mutilations on aliens, the small villages in these countires thought it was a monster...

I wonder if the Tasmanian Devil is still around... There have been a few reports from people that they've seen them.

Burzum, that story is awsome!

I'm pretty sure the tasmanian devil is extinct, and I'm just wondering what the hell is the Jersey Devil? Is it the same as in the video game, er...?

yeah, bigfoot hunting is fun. sort of like being active participant in a ghost story

as for the Tasmanian Devil:

www.dpiwe.tas.gov.au/inter.nsf/WebPages/BHAN-5358KH?open

good stuff here, including an audio sample of the freaky sounds that the make (i can see why the got the "devil" label) - seems they are fairly common, but only in Tasmania.

This girl just turned 10, and her mom and dad are going out for the night. She says "Daddy, I'm to big for a babysitter. I'm grown up." Her parents reluctantly say yes, and right before they leave mom says "Remember to lock all the doors and windows before you go to bed." The girl replys "Dont worry, I've got Rex (her dog) here to keep me safe." Well, time goes by, and its time to go to bed, so she locks all the doors and windows, except for a small basement window. She says to her dog "Oh well, who would try to get in through this window anyway." And with that she goes to bed. about 12:00 Midnight, she wakes to a sound coming from the bathroom. She hears a distinct drip...drip...drip. She gets kind of scared, but she feels her hand being licked, and knows everything is ok. With that, she falls back asleep. She wakes up in the morning, stretches, gets out of bed, but cant find her dog. When she walks in to the bathroom, she see's her dog....hanging from a showerhead disembowled, with the same drip drip sound she heard last night from the dogs blood dripping. And as she turns to the mirror, written in the dogs blood, it says "People can lick too"

Man that's fucked up. Really freaks me out b/c I have a small dog like that and there's been a couple/few times when I've been so tired I forgot to lock the front door. My apartment complex is fairly safe, but still - all it takes is one time.

I think the hippie babysitter was more disturbing. I mean, cooking a kid? Now thats an Urban Legend.

Yeah, that was a neat little story. It kept me reading! Anyways, I voted for the psycho choice.

Posted by HauntedPA The Tasmanian Devil is a REAL animal! Little, hyper and mean things too!

Its linked with stories to do with the Thylacine:

That Jersey Devil story is fucked up, but definately cool. It has a lot of evidence, albiet word-of-mouth and some physical, but definately ties into each other.

Funny thing is, I just thought of something, I'm a witch, I'm into all that, well one of our biggest beliefs is the power of the mind. When a group of people believe in something so strongly, such as the Jersey Devil, the will power of the combined persons will create that particular thought into reality. It could easily be the creation of a few thousand people that believe it exists.

It's like telling someone that old victorian style house down the street that appears to be in disrepair is haunted. "Some old lady lived there and her son went crazy one night and killed her. Now they say her spirit haunts the house looking for revenge". You've just given that person enough "proof" to come to their own conclusions and basically believe the story, creating the haunting itself. Imagination, will power, power of the mind, whichever you want to call it, it may all tie into the same thing.

The Collective Mind or the Universal Mind is a theory believed by many, it also has been practiced by many who do not believe. Cancer patients miraculously healing back to 100%, other diseased people being able to overcome those particular diseases, people trapped for days on end with nothing to eat or drink, somehow surviving, those that can withstand immense amounts of pain without even flinching. This "magickal" (no it's not spelt wrong) or "miraculous" happening is nothing more than Willpower or The Collective Mind of concerned friends and family.

That's all magic really is, the power of the mind to create that which you desire. Not some hocus pocus, poof, up in smoke type of hollywood thing.

Funny though how it may seem to play in well with many urban legends, or mythical hauntings such as the Jersey Devil.

True and really cute looking too! Also, great method of disposing of unwanted carcasses for farmers.

Posted by SnArF I'm pretty sure the tasmanian devil is extinct, and I'm just wondering what the hell is the Jersey Devil? Is it the same as in the video game, er...?

Nope. They are alive and doing better in Tasmania. For a while they were facing extinction (road kill etc) but a number of programs are bringing their populations back up. Like the Peregrine Falcon here in Canada.

Posted by SnArF Ok, how about this one... This girl just turned 10, and her mom and dad are going out for the night. She says "Daddy, I'm to big for a babysitter. I'm grown up." Her parents reluctantly say yes, and right before they leave mom says "Remember to lock all the doors and windows before you go to bed." The girl replys "Dont worry, I've got Rex (her dog) here to keep me safe." Well, time goes by, and its time to go to bed, so she locks all the doors and windows, except for a small basement window. She says to her dog "Oh well, who would try to get in through this window anyway." And with that she goes to bed. about 12:00 Midnight, she wakes to a sound coming from the bathroom. She hears a distinct drip...drip...drip. She gets kind of scared, but she feels her hand being licked, and knows everything is ok. With that, she falls back asleep. She wakes up in the morning, stretches, gets out of bed, but cant find her dog. When she walks in to the bathroom, she see's her dog....hanging from a showerhead disembowled, with the same drip drip sound she heard last night from the dogs blood dripping. And as she turns to the mirror, written in the dogs blood, it says "People can lick too" Creepy, eh? -SnArF

I've heard a different version involving a roommate and their dog. In this one she finds her roommate hanging in the shower and her dogs head is at the foot of her bed.

Posted by Plytheman Just to kick this board off..

I also had to go with hauntings, as the desire to investigate "haunted houses" often entices many people to get into UE...

That chupacabra site is the worst thing i have ever seen, i mean it sounded cool on the X-Files, although that animal mutilation could easily be satanists, i wouldn't put it past them with some of the fucked up stuff i've seen them do (well found afterwards i mean).

the chupacabra is awesome, thats all i have to say

I like the myth of mothman, bigfoot, and the jersey devil.

Hehe, here's probably one of the most disturbing stories I've ever been told, mostly because I think it's believable, hell it might've even happened.

Anyway, I have a friend who works as an EMT, he told me this story himself, and swears it's true. Anyway they get a call one day that some neighbors heard screaming coming from some woman's apartment. So they show up, get inside the place, and it seems like nothings wrong..... Until.. they get to the bathroom. There the woman is laying on the floor with her pants down, green and black slime all over the floor... They flip her over and out of nowhere, this little creature scuttles out of her vagina and across the floor!! One of the fellows with him goes to puke in the toilet, and finds it too is full of this slime, and these little creatures!!

So anyway, a formal investigation is done, and the results are as follows: The only thing odd in the house that police find is a lobster in the garbage can... with it's tail wrapped in plastic and it's face burnt.... They come to the conclusion that the woman was buying LIVE LOBSTERS at the grocery store, wrapping their tails in plastic, inserting them into her vagina and burning the faces so they'd wriggle around and get her off!! Turns out one of the lobsters laid eggs inside her while she was doing this somehow.... Now, newborn lobsters molt very quickly when they're first hatched, so what happened was she must've felt something weird going on inside and went to the bathroom, when these things started coming out of her she fainted, fell off the bowl and slammed her head into the radiator, which was determined as the cause of death.


So yea, any desperate women out there...just go buy a vibrator damnit...

Good advice, thanks

Posted by NextelCupMK I like the myth of mothman, bigfoot, and the jersey devil.

Not to mention the one that states the banks actually care about their customers.

How about those dark buildings/structures that just *appear* 0.o and when you go back later you can't find any evidence of them. Transdimensional Urban Exploration

Yeah, that's a little bit fucked. Just a little. Excuse me while I go throw up multiple times in your shoes.
