The Azass Cave and the Kuzbass Yeti

añadido29 de agosto de 2026

Mountain Shoria in southern Kuzbass is the setting of Russia's loudest wild-man story. From 2009 hunters reported tracks and silhouettes near the Azass Cave, and the regional authorities behaved unusually: a million-rouble reward, an international conference brought here in 2011, and a dedicated laboratory opened at the local university. Sceptics noted how neatly the surge of interest coincided with a push to develop tourism in a depressed district.

El lago Van y su monstruo

El mayor lago de Turquía, fuertemente alcalino y casi sin vida, lo que hace peculiar la historia del monstruo. En 1997 un profesor universitario, Ünal Kozak, filmó un objeto oscuro moviéndose por la superficie; las imágenes dieron la vuelta a la televisión turca y él escribió un libro sobre la criatura. En el paseo marítimo de Van hay una estatua del monstruo.

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.
