If you saw a Sasquatch right in front of you, what would you do? Try to capture it on video? Perhaps. But what if you saw a Sasquatch whilst you ate Jack Links Beef Jerky? Well that's a whole different story. You're going to prank that hairy beast! But that may not be the best idea....
For everything strange and odd in the world. Mysteries, the paranormal, the unexplained, horror films/games/books. In short, all the freaky stuff.

Robert The Doll
Haunted toys. We've all seen them in films. From Puppet Master to Child Play, haunted dolls provide great material for horror movies. But do such things exist? Well, the simple answer would appear to be, Yes. One of the most notorious cases involves a little doll that goes by the name of Robert and what a weird and VERY scary doll it is too. Is the doll really possessed/ alive?
Urban Legend 1: The Drip
Ladies and Gentlemen and everyone else, here at the Circus of the Freaky Urban Legends are the staple diet for the demons that dwell in the darkness. Everyone loves to hear them, even if they may not be totally true, they still have the power to send shivers up the spines of listeners, especially on a cold, stormy night. Every legend has a beginning.
So, grab your safety blanket as we kick off with the very first Circus Of The Freaky Urban Legend. Below are three well known modern Legends, each of which share two things in common; an old lady and a dog. Nothing creepy about that, I hear you squeal.
The first one is an Urban Legend I like to call "The Old Woman and the Dripping Dog"
Urban Legend 2: Hot Dog!
A rather old lady, around the age of 60, offered to look after her daugter's new puppy, whilst she went out with her husband to see their young sons perform in their school's play. The house is empty and there's nothing on TV, so, the woman has an idea; let's take the dog for a walk! Why not? Why not, indeed.
Urban Legend 3: Alone With The Dogs
In a similar way to the first story, this Legend focuses on an OAP who has recently lost her husband. And like that story, she too had dog companionship. However, unlike the first, she had more than one dog, in fact she had several.
Well, this story takes place during the summer holiday (early August). The woman's only son's family have gone off on holiday for a month (to Spain where the wife's family live) and asked their neighbour (their only neighbour) to look after her, in case anything should happen. This goes to plan for the first few days as the neighbour constantly checks on the old lady to see how she's coping, etc. But it doesn't last too long, and VERY quickly the neighbour stops visiting. So, the OAP is forced to do everything herself, despite her restrictive old body. A few nights later, the old woman is struggling to step out of the bath. It has a raised edge to it and she is unable to lift her legs up high enough to step over this edge. So, obviously, she struggles, slips and trips cracking her back against the floor tiles. Perhaps it was her old age, or maybe she had broken her already weak neck/spine as she fell, but she was completely paralysed and unable to move from the neck down. Her screams of pain caused the dogs to come rushing up to the bathroom door and begin scratching at it.

The Unsolved Mystery Of Number Stations
Everyone knows about Bigfoot, UFOs, Ghosts and Nessie, but one of the most interesting and creepy lesser-known mysteries has to be, what is often termed as, Number Stations. Unlike the previously mentioned mysteries, the Number Stations phenomena is very real indeed - full of unquestionable evidence. These stations DO exist. Anyone, in possession of a shortwave radio, can tune into one of the many Number Stations at any time.
In short, a Number Station broadcasts a series of continuous and endless numbers occasionally broken up by strange sounds or eerie music. The numbers seem to be read by men, women and even children voices in a bizarre and monotonous tone. Despite questioning governments etc about these broadcasts no one has received a reply. Odd.
But why do they exist?
One of the most widely agreed upon theories to explain this peculiar question is the possibility that it is linked to espionage; spies! Perhaps it's a code that only those with the knowledge to crack it understand. But if this is the case, this begs the question; what messages are they sending for it to be such a secret? Warfare? Or something more sinister? Perhaps they're signals to another world? Another dimension? Time traveling? A strange countdown to some terrible event?
Who knows?
Take a listen for yourself by visiting The Conet Project's site. They're incredibly haunting and creepy.

Leprechaun: America's Most Wanted
Colorado Police are after an unknown man dressed in a leprechaun costume. He was spotted by several slightly confused shoppers at a local supermarket dressed in all green, complete with a wee little ginger beard, and using his fingers as a gun and for more...obscene gestures! Police have still yet to capture this clover-loving fiend, meaning the little guy is still at large. Police are currently looking for a magical rainbow for further clues.
Was this some kind of prank? An escaped loony? Or was it actually the real deal? Nah, it was probably a loony.

Blonde Bigfoot Close Encounter
One of the biggest names in Cryptozoology, Bigfoot, was recently seen in North Carolina. According to Tim Peeler, he was just taking a stroll, calling out for coyotes (like you do) when he was greeted by the incredible creature. His description appears to be rather standard; "10-foot tall," hairy, etc. But there was a vital difference. This Bigfoot apparently had "beautiful" blond hair.
Now this story is pretty interesting. First off, the majority of reports describe the 'animal' as a brown haired figure (especially American Sasquatch), so was this one a albino Bigfoot? Secondly, sightings of Bigfoot are incredibly rare, and when one is spotted it is normally hidden behind some branches/trees/etc. So for one to stroll right up to Mr. Peeler is very odd indeed. Was it curious? Was it young and still learning? Or does this prove that blonds really are stupid? (I kid, of course).
No harm was caused to either man or almost-man as the Bigfoot soon fled back into the forest one Peeler started shouting at it, "Get away from here! Get! Get!"
Here's an article for more details.
Vampires. They don't just suck your blood, they crash your car...apparently.
Breaking news: V
ampires, the masters of the dark, are not just after your blood. They're after your motor! Or more specifically your crashed motor.
An unnamed woman driving her SUV through Colorado's Grand Valley swore she sore a winged, fanged cousin of Dracula. She immediately put the SUV into reverse and...fell straight into the canal.
Epic fail.
According to Police they found no evidence that she had smoked a joint or drunk a few too many. Although there was no tracks left by this so called 'vampire' it does seem highly likely that such an incident would happen. With vampires becoming glittery, perhaps the light from her SUV glared of the vamp and disorientated her? Perhaps we will never know.

Jesus Himself or Just a Load of Shit?
If Jesus was a celebrity he could be put into the same category as Britney Spears and Robbie Williams if this is to be believed. Starting with a boom and ending in a blob. His debut role being in the world-famous Bible and later appearing in many well-renowned paintings. But now he's appearing on slices of toast, frying pans, towels, Google Earth, a dog and now a drainpipe!
According to Alex Cotton from Wyken, Jesus Christ himself has made a very special guest appearance on the side his drainpipe in their house, out of all places. But is this actually the face of one of religion's biggest characters? Or is it just an illusion? One thing's for certain though; this is quite possible the most famous drainpipe in history. Yet, despite this being the first ever time he has shown his face in Coventry, the Pope refuses to visit!
