Honey Island swamp in St. Tammany parish, Louisiana is perhaps not the most famous cryptid but is certainly an interesting one. Known as La Bête Noire (the Black Beast) in Cajun french is a folkloric bigfoot type creature that roams the the swams and surrounding area of Honey Island.  The name of the island comes from the large number of Honey bees that used to inhabit the island and it's stunning 70,000 acres are home to many species of animals including snakes, alligators, birds and insects. However one creature that supposedly haunts the vast bayou is scarier thank any snake or alligator. Regular tales date back to the 1960s but old folklore from the natives date back far further into history.  Local legends suggest it could be some kind of humanoid creature raised by alligators or spme kind oh hybrid alligator primate animal. Of course no evidence existed for such a creature. That is until 1963 that is. A one Harlan Ford a retired air traffic controller was scouting out sp...

  What would you do if you saw something that wasn't there. Something moving through the forest that you can't quite focus on something you know is there but all you see is a faint outline and sometimes a pair of glowing yellow eyes. It sounds like the script for a 1980s jungle based action/sci-fi movie but talk to those who have seen these predator type entities as they are sometimes referred to and they will tell you that what they saw was all too real and all too terrifying.  These strange entities have been reported all over the world but there seems to been a large amount of reports throughout the U.S. Most are in rural areas or areas where there are large forests and wildernesses. It is remarkable how similar the reports are to each other and how closely they resemble that ailen hunter of the silver screen. Some witnesses have reported seeing it multiple times sometimes traversing through their dwellings on the hunt for something also out of the sight of the witness. Alt...

  Shropshire and Newport in particular are no strangers to tales of the weird and paranormal. One of those stories that are told is that of Madam Piggott the white lady of Newport.  The story of poor lady Pigott is told thus. The young Lady met and married squire Pigott of Chetwynd Park. However from the start things were not happy for the newlywed Lady Pigott her husband only wanted a son from her so whenever he could he would dissappear to London for days or weeks at a time to find fun elsewhere with others. Over time Lady Pigott became angry, bitter and resentful of her husband and by the time she became pregnant she was very ill and weak. She had a very difficult pregnancy during which she heard a matter of fact conversation between the physician and the husband where the husband was told that he would only be able to save one of them not both. Without a second thought the husband chose his unborn child. Hearing the callousness with which her husband made this decision wit...

  Stories of man like wolves are nothing new in European folklore but this particular tale spans three centuries and takes part in the UK Yorkshire to be exact and what's more may still be going on today. The legend may well have started as far back as the 1100s and culminated sone time in the 1800s when a stagecoach was viciously attacked where upon the creature was shot at and disappeared in to the night. For sone time all was quiet and stories of this creature died out and the creature itself nearly forgotten.  Then only 6 years ago the story started to resurface. The sightings although reported over multiple areas centered around the city of Hull. This is why the creature is sometimes called the Hull Werewolf. However it is far more well known by it's other name that of 'Old Stinker'. It is said to stand approximately 8 feet tall and have glowing red eyes and a foul breath giving rise to its less than affectionate name. Said by locals to inhabit areas of the UK that...

  What would you do if you received a phone call from someone that couldn't possibly have made it? What would you do if they sounded like them, knew things about you and talked to you like they always used to? The only problem being they are dead. Would you hang up? Talk to them one last time? Or just listen? Some people have had to answer these questions. Join us as we look at the strange and unusual phenomena of ghostly phone calls. The phenomena itself has a fairly straightforward pattern usually a person will receive a phone call from a loved one (family member, husband, wife, significant other or close friend) the conversation may appear quite ordinary but after the person hangs up they find out that the person they were talking to had died. Other versions of this phenomena have the person receiving the call well aware that the person who is on the other line died weeks, months or years earlier. They are often a loving message or a final farewell or a message of support during...
