The Chuchunya of Verkhoyansk

dodano29 sierpnia 20261920

In the coldest inhabited place on earth, the Yakuts and Evens tell of the chuchunya — a tall man in skins who lives alone, steals reindeer and runs off at improbable speed. In the 1920s enough reports accumulated that the Academy of Sciences sent an expedition under Pyotr Dravert. Ethnographers suggest the figure stands on something real: outcasts and the remnants of vanished clans who took to living away from people.

Bluff Creek, gdzie nakręcono film Pattersona

20 października 1967 roku Roger Patterson i Bob Gimlin nakręcili tu pięćdziesiąt dziewięć sekund filmu: duża owłosiona postać przechodzi przez żwirową łachę i ogląda się przez ramię. Ten kadr to najbardziej rozpoznawalny wizerunek Bigfoota, jaki powstał, a spór o niego nie ucichł przez pół wieku: jedni analizują chód i uznają go za niemożliwy dla człowieka, inni szukają szwów kostiumu. Samo miejsce to zwyczajny strumień w odludnych lasach północnej Kalifornii — i ludzie wciąż przyjeżdżają tu z aparatami.

Lake Khaiyr

A lake at the mouth of the Yana, famous since 1964, when a biological station worker, Nikolai Gladkikh, reported a creature on the shore with a small head on a long neck, black skin and a ridge along its back, eating grass. Komsomolskaya Pravda printed it and expeditions followed. The station's director later admitted the story had been invented. The retraction travelled far less well than the report, and Khaiyr is still listed among lake monsters.

The Valley of Death on the Vilyuy

A stretch of the upper Vilyuy known to the Yakuts as Elyuyu Cherkechekh, the valley of the dead. Tradition places metal hemispheres in the ground there, warm inside, in which one can shelter from the cold — but whoever spends the night falls ill and dies soon after. The first written mentions of the cauldrons date to the nineteenth century. No expedition has found anything, including several in the 2000s with metal detectors; explanations range from outcrops of trap basalt to spent rocket stages.

Jezioro Łabynkyr i jego diabeł

Jezioro w rejonie ojmiakońskim w Jakucji, jednym z najzimniejszych zamieszkanych miejsc na Ziemi. Tamtejsi Ewenowie mówią o diable od XIX wieku: ciemnym stworze o ogromnej paszczy, który porywa renifery i psy. Jezioro zachowuje się zimą osobliwie i utrzymuje otwartą wodę przy pięćdziesięciu stopniach mrozu. Wyprawy sonarowe rejestrowały przy dnie duże obiekty i żadna niczego nie wydobyła.

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.
