Chesterland, Ohio - Is it a goat? Is it a sheep? No, it's a ... what is that thing?
Wildlife experts haven't been able to positively identify at least three animals spotted roaming the woods in Chester Township, about 30 kilometres east of Cleveland, over the past few months. "We're not exactly sure what they are," said Allen Lea of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, which has reviewed photos taken by a resident. "But they're definitely not a native species. They're not where they belong."
Police have received calls from residents offering varying descriptions, with possible IDs including bighorn sheep and wild goat.
Sal LaPuma, an avid outdoorsman, said he recently got within 9 metres of one of the animals before it ran away.
"The moment I saw it, I knew it was out of place," he said.

A supernatural experience in Antarctica on Friday the 13th has left a winter worker convinced of the existence of ghosts on the frozen continent.
American Allie Barden was sent to work in a stores building at McMurdo Station, the United States base near New Zealand's Scott Base, and knew it was empty because it was padlocked from outside when she arrived.
"As soon as I entered, something was weird," she said.
"I took a couple of steps in (and) the hair on the top of my head stood on end - footsteps upstairs; undeniably footsteps. A slow cadence of footsteps.
"I froze. It went from the back of the building to the front."

Residents of a village in Kisii are living in fear of an unknown enemy who has inflicted their children with a strange ailment.
They are even afraid of talking about the strange attacks and are scared of praying, because they have been warned not to try it.
Seven children in the village have been afflicted, and exhibit strange symptoms bordering on epilepsy and hysteria, uttering incomprehensible words. The residents now believe they have been hit by evil spirits.
They claim to have been warned by unknown people through letters that if they pray or continue to discuss what is happening to their children, they will all die and their flesh eaten at an undisclosed "feasting point".

Many residents have seen some strange things flying over the Kittitas Valley. A vast number are skeptics and think perhaps what they saw came possibly from the U.S. Army Yakima Training Center. Others are pretty sure what they saw was not from around this neck of the galaxy.

A radiant Unidentified Flying Object was observed in the sky of the town of Yasouj in western Iran from 20:00 to 20:30 hours local time (16:30 to 17:00 GMT) Wednesday night.
Witnesses told FNA that the object has been observed for more than an half an hour.
Witnesses also said that the UFO which was as big as a ball and with a blue color disappeared after the weather grew cloudy.
Officials declined to comment on the event.
In similar incidents in the last few months, 4 Unidentified Flying Objects were witnessed in separate cases in the same area and almost at the same time.
In one of such cases a UFO crashed in Barrez Mounts in the central province of Kerman.
Two unidentified flying objects were recorded Saturday night from the Tierra de Campeones stadium during a match between Municipal Iquique and Temuco.
A journalist for a sports channel managed to capture the image and only became aware of the phenomenon two days later upon reviewing the recording. He realized that two UFOs could be seen flying very close to the moon.
The reporter was shocked when he inspected the images. According to his story, his attention was drawn to the brightness of the Moon as it appeared over Alto Hospicio. Due to this, he trained a high-resolution digital camera on Earth's satellite for 15 seconds. He was in the stadium and focused toward the east in the vicinity of Hospicio.
The hard working staff at Shanghaiist once again takes you to the front lines with a report of a
