From large footprints in the jungle, to glowing red eyes in no mans land, here are 9 of the
most mysterious monster sightings.

Morbach Monster In Germany, there is a town called Wittlich
that has a legend about a bad soldier who turned into a wolf beast during the days of
Napoleon.
This soldier who had deserted was running away and came upon this small town.
So far it doesn’t sound so bad, you could argue that maybe the soldier was drafted and
he didn’t want to fight with Napoleon!
BUT, he got into some kind of altercation and ended up killing a farmer and his wife.
The wife cursed the soldier just before dying, and the curse turned him into a wolf-like
creature, one that stalked the forests of the area until the villagers came together
to kill the beast.
Fast forward to modern times, and US servicemen at the Hahn Air Base, which is near the forest
next to Wittlich, claim to have seen a wolf-life creature that stood on two legs.
One report was that a military policeman was checking out a disturbance at the edge of
the base when he came face-to-face with the creature.
The creature then did “three long leaping steps” before bounding over a fence that
was at least five feet tall.
Adding to the mystery, a sniffer dog was brought in to track the mystery beast, but once it
got its scent, it went crazy, and absolutely refused to go after it.
More stories about the Morbach Monster have been collected over the years and all of the
descriptions seem to match.
Since no one has caught the creature, and there is no solid evidence, the truth is still
a mystery.

The Flatwoods Monster On September 12th, 1952, an odd event happened
in West Virginia that is still unexplained to this day.
On that day, a fireball was seen in the sky.
But, unlike regular meteors and comets and such, this fireball was actually seen all
across the United States.
The interesting thing is that the fireball was confirmed all the way from California,
up to where it landed in West Virginia.
Edward and Fred May, who were in West Virginia, saw the fireball, and then realized that it
was crashing on a nearby farm.
Along with their friend, their mother, and neighbor, they went to go and observe the
crash site.
When they arrived, the area was covered in an odd mist, and a metallic sound of sorts
was filling the air.
As they tried to get closer to figure out what was going on, they noticed a pair of
red eyes looked at them through the mist.
According to their accounts, the creature that was looking at them was about ten feet
tall, and had a glowing green body.
The creature hissed at them and started to approach, and all of them ran.
Police and other people from the town explored the area, but found nothing.
Yet, a reporter found some odd "skid marks" near where the crash was, and also found an
"odd, gooey deposit".
This mystery is a bit more unique, as you have people of various ages admitting to having
seen this "creature".
But the creature was never found.
So, was it real?
And if it wasn't, what did the five people really see?

The Hounds of Mons
In World War I, trench warfare was the dominant form of combat, which created No Man's Land
all across several countries in Europe.
In one such No Man's Land in Mons there was a mysterious story.
A Canadian Captain, A.J.
Newhouse, claimed that within the No Man's Land of Mons was a beast.
He believed this because one day a patrol was sent into No Man's Land, and they never
returned.
When their bodies were found, they had teeth marks on their throats.
Since that point, any and all patrols that were sent into No Man's Land at Mons were
met with the same fate.
And people did claim to see pairs of eyes, eyes of a beast, within the No Man's Land.
And howls were heard from deep in the trenches.
This went on until the beast suddenly vanished.
So, what was it?
Or did it ever exist at all?
Research into the story seems to indicate that Newhouse made the whole thing up.
But if he did, why?
What if the enemy used trained dogs.
Or maybe there were wolves in the area?
By now, too many years have gone by to tell what the hounds of mons might have been.
And now for number 7, but first do have any other unexplained monster sightings you'd
like to share?

Kongamoto In 1932, a traveler by the name of Frank Melland
was doing research for a book that he would title "Witch-Bound Africa".
In this book, he noted that he spoke to tribes in West Africa that described being attacked
by a lizard-like bird with large membrane wings that resembled a bat.
Very unlike anything that is technically in the world today, that we know of.
Unless you count the very recent “sightings” of La Gargola de Barceloneta in Puerto Rico!!
There’s all kinds of creatures there!!
Anyhoo, seeing a resemblance of description to a Pterodactyl, Melland showed them a picture
of one, and they all reacted, and said it was like the creature they saw, except they
called it the Kongamoto.
Which roughly means "breaker of boats".
In Zambia, in 1957, a patient was brought into Fort Roseberry and noted that he was
attacked by a large bird/bat creature, and that it was near a swamp that happened to
be nearby.
Ironically, that swamp was a birdwatching spot, and yet no sightings of the Kongamoto
were ever reported from there outside of the tribe.
Still, the tribe claim that the Kongamoto is real, and that they've been attacked by
it several times.
So if it is real, why haven't people seen it since the 30's?
Especially if it was as big as the reports claim?
No one knows, but speculation is that it could either be a case of misidentification, or,
that the creature died out not long after 1932.

U-28 Crocodile During World War I, there was a British Steamer
known as the Iberian.
It was going through the waters next to Ireland when it came under attack by a U-28 German
submarine.
A battle commenced, and despite the Iberian fleeing with all she had, the submarine won
in the end.
But that's just the beginning of the story, not the end.
You see, the captain of the submarine, Baron von Forstner, went to the viewfinder to watch
the Iberian sink.
When he did, he caught a glimpse of something he couldn't explain.
Soon after the Iberian fully sank, there was an explosion.
it was likely the Iberian's internals giving out and causing the blast.
But whatever caused it, Forstner claimed that he saw a massive sea crocodile thrown into
the air.
So certain was he of this that he wrote an article about it in a German newspaper in
1933 and said the following: “The animal was about 20 meters [65 ft]
long and crocodile-like in shape, with pairs of strong front and hind legs adapted for
swimming, and a long head that tapered towards the nose.”
He claimed to have seen it for “10 to 15 seconds at a distance of about 150 to 100
meters (500–300 ft) in bright sunshine.”
Now, unlike many "monster sightings", Forstner was very specific.
He gave measurements, noted that it was bright outside, gave key details about the monsters'
shape, and more.
Not to mention, he had just gotten glory in a battle, there's no point in talking about
a "monster" unless it was really there.
Further adding to the mystery is that 6 other crew members claimed to have seen the creature,
and certain credible scientists believe he honestly did see it.
And one zoologist, Bernard Heuvelmans felt the description matched up with a prehistoric
giant crocodile that could possibly still be living today called the Thalattosuchia.
Everyone keep an eye out!!
The mystery remains, did Forstner really see it?
And if so, has this massive crocodile ever been seen again?

Little Bigfoot John McKinnon was a famous British Zoologist,
one who helped discover many new creatures in Vietnam.
He also wrote a book in 1974 that stated he found something he didn't want to know the
answer to.
He describes a disturbing footprint in the earth, he said it was “a print so like a
man’s yet so definitely not a man’s” that it made his skin crawl.
The sole was too short and “too broad to be that of a man and the big toe was on the
opposite side to what seemed to be the arch of the foot."
His guide at the time told him that the footprint belonged to the people of the forest, called
"Batatut".
McKinnon though knew something was off, and decided not investigate further.
But his book helped spawn the legend of "Little Bigfoot".
Ironically enough, this wasn't the only sighting within the region of Southeast Asia.
Another book, Strange But True Stories of the Vietnam War, stated that six soldiers
from the 101st Airborne were deep in the jungles of Vietnam when they saw a 5-foot tall bipedal
creature covered in red fur.
They originally thought it was an orangutan, but there aren't any in Vietnam.
So what is "Little Bigfoot"?
Were the two sightings the same creature?
And are there more than just one out there?
3.
Brosno Dragon In Russia, there are people who are convinced
that a creature lives in the waters of Lake Brosno.
The legend goes like this, a group of Tatar horsemen, a people who numbered as much as
5 million in the late 20th century and lived in west-central Russia, were on their way
to Novgorod.
However, on their way, they stopped at the Brosno Lake to rest.
While they did, a "reptilian monster" rushed out of the water and attacked them, killing
many, and forcing the others to flee.
There's also a story about the creature living in the lake actually swallowing a German plane
whole from World War II.
These stories got the attention of a group of UFO hunters who thought they had detected
something in the water after examining it.
But, when they did tests to see what would come up, nothing did.
Though various explanations for the Brosno Dragon have been given over the years, few
explain what happened to the Tatar Horsemen, or to that German pilot.
2.
Kraken One of the most legendary monster sightings
of all time has to be the one and only Kraken.
A squid of such size that it would dwarf and consume massive vessels.
But despite this story being born during the time of sailboats, there have been many modern
day accounts of the Kraken, including some in World War II.
A British Trawler was docked off of the Maldives.
A crewman, A.G. Starkey, was on the deck of the trawler when he thought he saw something
in the water: His account states that as he gazed, a circle
of green light began to glow and he realized that it was an eye.
Gradually, he realized that he was gazing almost point-blank at a huge squid.”
But the story didn't end there.
After seeing the eye of the squid, he walked from one end of the ship to the next, and
he found that the tentacles reached to the other end, making this "kraken" about 175
feet long.
No one else on the trawler saw the squid, but there are many whales that have appeared
with gigantic suction marks on them.
Could the Kraken really exist??

The Mist A monster does not need a corporeal form to
be frightening, as the crew of a C-130 Cargo plane found out in the Vietnam War.
For Robert L. Pollock, along with his crew saw something they truly couldn't explain.
It all started when Pollock saw a disturbance in the back of the plane:
He said he noticed movement at the rear of the empty cargo compartment.
He was stunned to see a whirling grey, cloudy mass forming at the rear door.
The mass was whirling clockwise and it completely filled in the entire rear of the aircraft
within seconds.”
Believing it was a technical issue, he searched the plane for a malfunction, but didn't find
one.
He then brought in the rest of the crew to see it for themselves, and when they did,
the mist seemed to come towards them.
Pollock punched the cloud, and his hand vanished from sight.
He and his crewman then stepped into the mist, and they couldn't see anything, not even each
other.
It’s not quite a Stephen King novel, but its close!!
Then, as quickly as it came, it was gone, but it left in a complete reversal of how
it came on board.
The crew agreed not to talk about this for a while because they figured no one would
believe them.
Do you??
Thanks for watching!
