The Billiwhack Monster: A Cryptid Legend from California.

First reported in 1912, the monster is said to be a predator of both humans and livestock, and its legend has persisted despite the absence of physical evidence.

The creature is described as a half-goat, half-man humanoid with long claws, gray hair, and ram-like horns, and has been known to throw rocks at cars and pound on their hoods, leaving dents.

The legend dates back to World War II and is associated with August Rubel, a former owner of the Billiwhack Dairy and Ranch, who was rumored to have conducted secret experiments for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

Some believe the Billiwhack Monster is a product of these experiments that escaped and now haunts the area. The dairy itself is described as a decrepit ruin with underground rooms and tunnels and is said to be filled with uncashed checks made out to August Rubel.

While there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of the Billiwhack Monster, the legend persists and continues to attract cryptozoologists and curious visitors to the area.

The site is also known for other strange occurrences, including sightings of a half-monkey, half-man creature in nearby Ojai.

Irish Bigfoot Spotted in Haunted Forest

This photo surfaced recently of what some people are claiming is Bigfoot. The photo was taken by a Maxine Caulfield in Northern Ireland. She was out walking her dogs through a supposedly haunted forest when her dogs started acting strange. They stopped being their usual energetic self, stopped and stared in the direction of the creature. “It was as if they knew something was there.” said Maxine, “It wasn’t normal.” Maxine regularly walks her dogs through the forest and hasn’t had anything like this happen before.

The Honey Island Swamp monster.

According to alleged witnesses, the creature is typically described as a sizable bipedal humanoid standing around 7 feet (2 meters) tall, adorned with gray fur, and characterized by yellow or red eyes emitting a putrid odor. It is also commonly referred to by locals as the Louisiana Wookiee or The Thing. Plaster casts of footprints purportedly belonging to the creature often exhibit four toes, a departure from the natural primate trait of possessing five toes.

The initial reported sighting dates back to 1963 and was attributed to Harlan Ford, a retired air traffic controller who had taken up wildlife photography. Following his passing in 1980, a reel of Super 8 film depicting the creature was discovered among his belongings.

In 1974, Ford and his companion Billy Mills reported discovering peculiar footprints in the vicinity, alongside the carcass of a wild boar exhibiting a gashed throat.

Presently, there are continued claims of the creature's presence within the swamp and the bayous along the Pearl River. Local legends recount a train accident near the swamp during the early 20th century, resulting in the escape of chimpanzees from a traveling circus. It is speculated that these chimpanzees adapted to the environment, providing a potential explanation for the origins of the creature.

“For these men, who view feminism, wokeness, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as existential threats, the attacks are constant. Through a torrent of posts, memes, and reposts, their message boils down to two simple lines: Mamdani, 33, is “dangerous” because he is a “socialist,” and he will ruin New York. He must be stopped at all costs. This campaign has taken on a special urgency given that in deep blue New York City, the Democratic candidate is heavily favored to win the mayoralty.
