The Borneo Monster

Two photographs have been recently released from unknown sources in Borneo, depicting the weirdest of occurrences – a 100 foot-long snake-like creature cruising in the waters of the Baleh river.

Natives are understandably scared of that, as they believe that the alleged monster is the mythical Nabau creature, a dragon-like serpent that has the ability to change its shape whenever it pleases. Western observers are, however, reluctant to accept the pictures as genuine, saying that there are serious clues in them that give away the fact that they are most likely fake.

The Gallery of Henri Beauchamp

If you go into this one tiny, dingy one-story bar in Paris, and the right bartender is behind the counter that night, you might be able to see a very exclusive gallery show of the lost works of one Henri Beauchamp. But, to get in, you have to prove you’re a devotee of the artist to get in.

You’ll be asked, in clear and perfect English, “What would like to partake of this glorious night?” Answer absinthe, no matter what. Any other drink, from whiskey to water, will kill you as you sleep.

Overtoun Bridge

The Overtoun Bridge is an arch bridge located near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland, over the Overtoun Burn. It has gained public attention because of the unusually large number of dogs that have allegedly leaped to their deaths over a number of decades.

The Overtoun Estate is located on a hill overlooking the River Clyde, above the village of Milton and the town of Dumbarton. In 1859, James White, a rich man, bought over the surrounding areas with the purpose of building a mansion there. He intended for it to be a retreat from the busy city streets, and initially acquired 900 acres ; he soon increased this to 2,000 acres. White hired the well known architect, James Smith (Architect 1808 -1863) (father of the infamous Madeleine Smith), to design and construct the house. A farmhouse previously on the site was demolished to build the mansion. Smith died before his work at the Overtoun mansion was completed. The house, built on stone, was completed by one of his work partners. White’s family began living in the mansion in 1862.

Human Mutilation

Compared to reports of mysterious animal attacks and mutilations, reports involving humans are somewhat rare. The probable reason is that many such incidents involving people are not recognized for what they are. The possibility is that a massive cover-up by officials world-wide exists to hide the fact that something is preying on humans. If we consider that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth, the likely reason for such visitations is scientific exploration. Consider that with billions of galaxies and the likelyhood that there are multitudes of different kinds of life scattered across the universe, the Earth is just another source of specimens for extraterrestrial scientists to gather and study. While man’s ego would like to think that we are special in the universe, the hard reality could be that we are just curiosities to be collected, studied, and possibly exploited, and then finally pickled in a jar someplace with the notation: HUMAN, MOSTLY HARMLESS.

WARNING! Clicking the link to read the rest of the article will subject you to graphic images of the human that was allegedly mutilated. They will be at the bottom of the article, so if you’d like to read the rest of the article you can, however be warned that the bottom of the article will contain graphic material.
