High StrangenessS
Some Believe Creature Is Chupacabra
Some residents think something strange is lurking in the woods of Juneau County, and one man has proof of the mysterious creature.
On his drives throughout the county, Juneau County highway worker Jeff Potter said he comes across countless dead wildlife. But he said he's never come across anything quite like the creature he found dead along Highway 71 in the city of Elroy on Monday morning.
"It's completely hairless -- almost like leather," Potter said. "It has a canine-like head and a fox- or dog-type head. The rear legs are coon-like. The tail is almost like an opossum."
Potter, who is an avid hunter and outdoorsman, was left speechless. And he's not alone.

© Hawke's Bay TodayUnidentified: Lights seen moving north over Hastings on Saturday stayed in a straight line and moved at a constant speed.
Mr Miller was called outside by his son about 7.15pm on Saturday to see four orb-like lights moving across the sky. They appeared to be in formation in a straight line, moving at a constant speed from south to north.
There was no sound coming from them and the lights were not flashing so he did not think it came from an aeroplane.
"I'm looking for a rational explanation but I don't know what it could be," Mr Miller said. "It was just amazing. It wasn't stars or planets so you're left with the other conclusion."
Local astronomer and Hawke's Bay Holt Planetarium director Gary Sparks could not offer a definitive answer but said satellites passing over could be visible from the city.
An unknown bright object was recorded in Sanremo, Italy.
First there was a single light in the sky above Clear Lake, around dusk on July 9.
"It was kind of more floating there. It was round, also. It wasn't like a regular airplane," said a North Iowan who wishes to remain anonymous.
Soon she and her boatmates saw another light.
And another.
Ultimately there were five, poised directly over the boat.
"We were saying, 'What is this?' " the woman said. "We had never seen anything like this. It was very strange. But then, of course, you start doubting yourself."
Orange blinking lights seen in early April over Chicago proved to be sky lanterns - small hot-air balloons released in memory of child abuse victims, according to AOL News.

Meaning "reptile" or "lizard" from Cadboro Bay, Cadborosaurus willsi is an alleged sea serpent from the North Pacific and possibly other regions. Accounts generally describe it as having a long neck, a horse-like head, large eyes, and back bumps that stick out of the water.
The footage, shot by Alaskan fishermen in 2009, will make its public debut on Hillstranded, a new Discovery Channel special that will air Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. E/P.
"I am quite impressed with the video," Paul LeBlond, former head of the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of British Columbia, told Discovery News. "Although it was shot under rainy circumstances in a bouncy ship, it's very genuine."

A ghoulish freedom of information request by Paul Stevenson, Managing Editor of HAUNTED Magazine, has asked Lincolnshire Police for details on how many incidents of "paranormal activity" have been reported to them over the past decade.
Stevenson's asked for all reports relating to "ghost sightings, UFO sightings, alleged paranormal activity and reports of witches and witchcraft."
He told The Lincolnite he's working on a feature for the magazine highlighting "modern" ghost sightings, rather than much regaled tales of old.
Lincolnshire's most famous "witching" came from "The Belvoir Witches", Margaret, Philippa and Joan Flower, in the 17th century.

The incident, which happened on Saturday at 9am, drew attention from military personnel and bomb experts. They said the mysterious object weighed two kilograms.
According to an eyewitness Felister Muthoni Kafuri, the object was black and smooth and cracked due impact.
"We hard a loud sound before the object fell in the farm. Some of the villagers touched the object while others kept off. When the military came to retrieve the object they advised those who had touched the object to wash their hands," said Muthoni.

Vampires, the devil's deceit and mental illness are among the hot topics for some 300 exorcists who flocked to Poland this week from as far away as Africa and India for a week-long congress.
Held at Poland's Roman Catholic Jasna Gora monastery, home to the venerated Black Madonna icon, this year's congress "examines the current fashion for vampirism in Europe and the world-over, schizophrenia and other mental disorders as well as the devil's deceit during exorcism," according to the monastery's radio station.
Also attending are "priests and lay people who work with exorcists or who are themselves practitioners in cases which do not involve possession but rather other forms of harassment by evil spirits," Polish exorcist, Father Andrzej Grefkowicz was quoted as saying.
Hailing from India, world-renowned exorcist Father Rufus Pereira as well as chief exorcist of the Archdiocese of Vienna Larry Hogan are among the participants, the radio reported. The unusual meeting is held once every two years.

The sightings lasted from 12 July to 25 July 1952. Objects were sighted by many observers, including airline pilots, and picked up on military and air traffic control radar. On several occasions F-94 Starfire jets were sent to intercept the intruders, but UFOs vanished when an aircraft came near. The objects were variously described as orange balls of fire, clusters of red or orange lights, or white lights. President Truman took a personal interest and demanded an explanation from the air force.
Comment: After reading USAF major generals' "explanation", we wonder why temperature inversion is not part of the following chart. Perhaps the censure machine went into motion, and they decided to release a simplified version. ;)
