The Dover DemonDover, Massachusetts was the location of the sighting of a bizarre creature for a few days beginning on April 21, 1977. Although the creature, which became known as "the Dover Demon," was only seen by a few people in this short period of time, it is considered one of the most mysterious creatures of modern times.The first sighting was made by 17-year-old Bill Bartlett as he and three friends were driving north near the small New England town at around 10:30 at night. Through the darkness, Bartlett claimed to have seen an unusual creature creeping along a low stone wall on the side of the road - something he had never seen before and could not identify. The other boys did not see it, but it was obvious to them that Bartlett was shaken by the experience. When he arrived home, he told his father about his experience and sketched a drawing of the creature.Just a few hours after Bartlett's sighting, at 12:30 a.m., John Baxter swore that he saw the same creature while walking home from his girlfriend's house. The 15-year-old boy saw it with its arms wrapped around the trunk of a tree, and his description of the thing matched Bartlett's exactly.The final sighting was reported the next day by another 15-year-old, Abby Brabham, a friend of one of Bill Bartlett's friends, who said it appeared briefly in the car's headlights while she and her friend were driving. Again, the description was consistent. This is the creature they allegedly saw: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">about four feet tall on two legs</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">hairless body with rough-textured skin</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">long, spindly peach-colored limbs</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a large watermelon-shaped head, nearly as big as its body large glowing orange eyes.</li> </ul>Subsequent investigations into this unusual case turned up no hard evidence for the reality of the creature, but neither was there evidence of a hoax nor a motive for perpetrating one. Skeptics suggested that what the teenagers saw was a young moose, while UFOlogists who looked into the case wondered if there was an extraterrestrial connection . The Loveland LizardThis remarkable creature has earned its place in the annals of the unknown primarily because of the credibility of the involved witnesses: two police officers on two separate occasions.The scene is the early hours of March 3, 1972. A police officer is cruising on Riverside Ave., which runs for a few blocks along the Little Miami River in Loveland, Ohio. On the side of the road he sees what he at first thinks is a dog lying there. He slows his vehicle on the icy road to avoid hitting the animal should it get up and run in front of him. He nears the animal and stops his patrol car, at which point the creature quickly stands on two legs to a crouching position. Illuminating the creature with his headlights, the officer can now clearly see that it is not a dog at all, but something he cannot explain: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">three to four feet tall</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">50 to 75 pounds</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">leathery skin</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">possibly wet, matted hair on its body that made it look textured possibly a short tail</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a head and face like a frog or lizard</li> </ul>Whatever this creature was, it looked at the officer briefly, then leapt over the road's guard rail toward the river.The officer reported the odd sighting to the police dispatcher, then later returned to the scene of the incident with another officer. All they found was evidence that something had scraped the hillside as it made its way down to the river.The creature may have been completely forgotten had not a second police officer seen it again two weeks later. The second officer also at first thought the thing lying in the middle of the road was a dog or roadkill. When he got out of his car to haul it to the side of the road, it got up, climbed over the guard rail this time, all the while keeping its eyes on the officer, and disappeared toward the river. His description of the creature pointed out the same frog-like characteristics. A subsequent investigation uncovered only one other possible sighting around the same time; a farmer claimed to have seen some kind of large, lizard-like creature. It thereafter became known as the Loveland Lizard or Loveland Frog.What was it? Good question. If is was a frog or similar amphibian, it's the largest one ever recorded - and the only one known to get up and walk away on its hind legs. The Jersey DevilThere is a terrifying creature, they say, that haunts the dense pine barrens of New Jersey, and its frightening appearance earned it the name of The Jersey Devil. The legend of the Jersey Devil dates back to about the mid-1700s when it was considered an omen of disaster or war, but multiple sightings did not begin until the early 1900s. Some researchers claim that more than 2,000 witnesses have reported seeing the creature over the centuries. Although rare, sightings continue up to the present day.Descriptions vary, but these are the most commonly cited attributes: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">about three-and-a-half feet high</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a long neck</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">wings about two feet long</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">back legs like those of a crane</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">horse's hooves</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">walks on its back legs and holds up two short front legs with paws on them</li> </ul>It's interesting to note the similarities to Chupacabra!Unexplained animal deaths and mutilations have been blamed on The Jersey Devil. Dozens of eyewitnesses claim to have been frightened out of their wits by it. What could this creature possibly be? The theories are similar to those cited for Chupacabra, but something scary definitely seems to be out there in the New Jersey woods.5. MothmanFor about 13 months beginning in November, 1966, a series of bizarre sightings took place around the area of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Aside from a spate of UFO reports and claimed poltergeist activity, several witnesses came forward with descriptions of an astonishing creature that may have been the focal point of all the weird goings-on. As detailed in John Keel's classic book, The Mothman Prophecies, hundreds of witnesses allegedly saw a large, winged humanoid being.Here is how they described it: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">approximately seven feet tall</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a wingspan over 10 feet wide</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">gray, scaly skin</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">large, red, glowing and hypnotic eyes</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">able to take off straight up in flight, traveling up to 100 miles an hour</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">liked to mutilate or eat large dogs</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">screeched or squealed like a rodent or electric motor</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">caused radio and television interference</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">had some mind control powers.</li> </ul>Dubbed Mothman by a local newspaperman, the creature seemed to have a peculiar affect on those with whom it came into contact: they began to "channel" information from what Keel called "ultra-terrestrial" entities. Keel himself was affected in this way, receiving "prophecies" from some unknown origin that were, more often than not, oddly less than accurate.Weird stuff indeed.</blockquote>
