Lake Worth y el Hombre Cabra

añadido29 de agosto de 20261969

En el verano de 1969 varios grupos que estaban junto al lago a las afueras de Fort Worth contaron, en una misma noche, que una criatura blanca y peluda cubierta de escamas saltó desde un barranco sobre sus coches y lanzó un neumático a unos quince metros. El Fort Worth Star-Telegram lo llevó a portada y cientos de personas acudieron al lago con armas. Parte de aquellos avisos se atribuyó después a una broma de estudiantes. No todos.

Las Montañas Azules y el yowie

La sierra al oeste de Sídney, donde los pueblos aborígenes describían una criatura grande y peluda mucho antes de la colonización y los colonos empezaron a escribir sobre ella desde la década de 1790. Al yowie se lo describe casi en los mismos términos que al sasquatch norteamericano. Las montañas humean de verdad en azul: eso es vapor de aceite de eucalipto dispersando la luz, no una leyenda.

The Black-Eyed Children

In 1996 the Texas journalist Brian Bethel posted an account to an internet mailing list about two teenagers who knocked on his car window in an Abilene car park. They asked for a lift, spoke too smoothly, and kept insisting they would not get in without being invited. When he looked up, both had completely black eyes. That one text created a genre: black-eyed children have been reported across the English-speaking world ever since, and nearly every version keeps the detail about the invitation — borrowed straight from vampire folklore.

Fouke and the Boggy Creek Monster

In the area of Fouke, Arkansas in Miller County, southeast of Texarkana, allegedly lives the Boggy Creek Monster. In these sparsely populated, forested hills of the Ozarks, the Boggy Creek Monster, also referred to as the Fouke Monster, has been a legend of the area since the 1840s. This Bigfoot-like creature is said to be about seven feet tall, walks upright, has a smelly, animal-like odor, and is covered with hair. The Arkansas version of Sasquatch or Bigfoot, this hairy beast has a reputation for killing chickens, livestock, and dogs in the area, though has never been known to harm humans. In the late 1860s, the beast allegedly harassed two families living outside Fouke and the legend quickly spread. In 1973, the tale of the Boggy Creek Monster was made into an extremely poor low budget movie called The Legend of Boggy Creek. In 1997, there were more than 40 sightings of the Boggy Creek creature and in 1998, reports said that the hairy beast was seen walking along a dry creek bed about five miles south of town. Whether a legend or reality, the town of Fouke once capitalized on the legend, with signs throughout the town and a gift shop near Boggy Creek that provided Monster souvenirs. Today, Monster Mart continues to cater to tourists with souvenirs. We really had to search for the creek, which we finally found south of town, marked only by a small plaque on the bridge.

El hotel Crescent

Un hotel de Arkansas que en 1937 compró Norman Baker, un hombre sin formación médica que anunció tener una cura para el cáncer y convirtió el edificio en un «hospital». Aquí venía la gente a morir, pagando bastante; Baker acabó en prisión por fraude postal. En 2019 unas excavaciones en el recinto sacaron a la luz tarros enterrados con restos humanos. El hotel sigue abierto y vende visitas de fantasmas.

The Kyshtym dwarf, Alyoshenka

In May 1996 Tamara Prosvirina, a resident of the village of Kaolinovy near Kyshtym in the Urals, brought home a creature about twenty-five centimetres long with an elongated skull and large eyes. She called it Alyoshenka, fed it, and told neighbours a son had come to live with her. She was taken to a psychiatric hospital; the body was filmed and photographed in the meantime, and that autumn it vanished without trace. What makes the case unusual is the sheer volume of material: video, photographs, dozens of interviews. Later genetic work points to human remains — most likely a premature infant with severe developmental defects.

The Goatman of Maryland

A half-goat, half-man with an axe, told of in Prince George's County outside Washington. The legend took shape in 1971, when a local paper ran a piece about a missing dog and rumours of a creature near Fletchertown Road; the article was picked up, and within a couple of years the story had acquired an escaped experiment from the agricultural research centre next door. The centre is real and still operating, which has helped the legend considerably — it has a building you can point at.

The Melon Heads

Creatures with disproportionately large heads living in the woods — a legend told in three American states at once, Ohio, Michigan and Connecticut, each with its own backstory. The Ohio version is the most widespread: supposedly children from a closed institution for hydrocephalus patients who escaped after a fire. No such institution and no such fire appear in the records. What is interesting is the rest: three unconnected regions invented almost the same image, and in all three it explains the same thing — that there is someone in the woods who was once hidden there.
