Ever Heard Of The Black Shuck?  It Is A Large Ghostly Black Dog That Is Commonly Considered To Be An

This thylacine footage was recently rediscovered by researchers Gareth Linnard, Branden Holmes and Mike Williams on March 4, 2020.

Originally filmed by the Bester family c. 1933-1936, the 9.5mm black and white film includes 7 seconds of a captive thylacine in its enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo.

Such a rare and amazing find!

The Official Loch Ness Monster Sighting Register keeps a page on its website that highlights what does not make a Nessie sighting. The website uses actual accounts that have been reported to it to help decipher what shouldn’t be reported as a legitimate sighting. Some are the more common things that photographs or videos have been debunked as, such as boat wakes, seals, and floating logs. But some others include birds, divers, and even insects. The Register does explain itself on these. It says that the splashes from birds diving or taking off from the water can sometimes look like something suspicious. It explains a situation in 2015 where a woman reported a Nessie sighting but it was debunked as divers that were getting footage for Google Maps’ street view. As for the insects, the Register talks about how bugs too close to the camera lens can sometimes appear monster-ish.

Inktober Day 12: The Ahuizotl

The ahuizotl is an amphibious creature, and when on land its fur dries into spikes as hard as steel. Its main prey is humans, although it only consumes the hair, fingernails, and teeth of its victims, leaving the rest of the body unscathed.

837: Cabbagetown Tunnel Monster

Primate matches the body type the most but really could have been another skinny and wet animal like a cat perchance? Raccoon even, depending on how much light the witness had when viewing.

84 years ago today the last known thylacine died. It died of exposure after being locked outside in its bare concrete pen overnight. 

(The body was reportedly thrown out in the garbage shortly after)
