Strange creatures discovered on our planet. The strangest creatures ever discovered by man Strange mysterious creatures
Mythical and strange creatures
The search for unknown animal species is carried out by a special science - cryptozoology. Despite the negative attitude of many academic biologists towards cryptozoology, real discoveries of new animal species sometimes refute the arguments of skeptics. So in 1992, in a remote mountainous region of Vietnam, a new species of bull was discovered - Saola, the weight of individuals of which reaches 100 kilograms. Most biologist experts at that time believed that the chances of discovering a new species of large mammals on Earth were close to zero. What about animals - some ethnologists seriously say that in the Amazon jungle and mountainous regions of Papua New Guinea several unknown primitive peoples who have not previously had contact with modern developed civilization may still be hiding.
However, some scary creatures were clearly generated by the imagination of primitive peoples living in extreme habitats and afraid of the dark. Even on the very small reef islands of Oceania, where the locals know literally every rock and where unknown species of animals simply have nowhere to hide, the natives often tell stories of terrible creatures appearing at night on the seashore and killing people who decide to come there in the dark. Some mythical creatures probably appeared due to distortion of information coming from distant countries and regions. Thus, one of the most likely prototypes of the mythical unicorn from European legends are African and Asian rhinoceroses.
Some animals, whose existence is not recognized by official science, most often attract the attention of journalists and the public. Chupacabra, sucking blood from livestock and killing them, was first seen in Puerto Rico (1950s). Subsequently, reports of her attacks came from many countries in South America, and then from other countries of the world (Philippines, Russia, Belarus). According to one version, this creature appeared as a result of secret genetic experiments and was able to escape from the laboratory. There are videos of the Chupacabra.
Loch Ness monster, living in Scotland's Loch Ness, may be a small population of relict plesiosaurs or its highly modified descendants. There are supposed photographs and videos of this creature, including a satellite image (2009). A study of Loch Ness using sonar confirmed the presence of large objects moving at high speed.
Bigfoot(aka Yeti), most likely, is a relict hominid (humanoid creature) and such a close relative person that their union may produce offspring. In the last quarter of the 19th century, residents of the foothill Abkhaz village of Tkhina managed to catch a female in the mountains and then tame Bigfoot, who was given the name Zana. In the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, Russian biologists Alexander Mashkovtsev and Boris Porshnev talked with old-timers of the village of Tkhina and... studied Zana’s descendants (grandchildren and great-grandchildren) there. Their verdict, based on the shape of the skull of Zana’s descendants, was unequivocal - they were not exactly people, but hybrids of a human and a relict hominid unknown to science, possessing superhuman strength and endurance.
On September 5, 2005, due to overload, the bus fell into the river. 5 people were seriously injured, and the remaining 47 received minor injuries. The number of passengers on the bus was exceeded by 20 people. After the incident, a reporter from the Star newspaper arrived at the scene and took a more than strange photo. If you zoom in, you can see a skull or ghost's head located on the left in the grass under the bridge. Malaysians believe in creatures that only appear during tragedies or accidents. Many are sure that these creatures are the cause of the tragedy.
Irish woman Bethany Harvey was shocked when she spotted a ghostly visitor in a photo she took with her nephew. If you look closely, between Bethany and the child you can see a little girl in a purple dress with her hands folded in her lap. Harvey claims that at that moment she was alone with her sister and nephew. They sat facing the door to the living room. Since then, strange things began to happen in the living room and the sisters refuse to go there.
The drunk girls were relaxing in the jacuzzi and decided to take a memorable photo, which, as it turned out later, showed an uninvited guest. If you look closely at the enlarged image, you can clearly see the hand and head. Of course, one might think that some friend decided to watch the girls, but since we see the absence of a face, it seems to be smoky, and other parts of the body, then most likely we are again dealing with a ghost. It probably wouldn't hurt for girls to buy curtains for the bathroom, just in case.
This is a photograph of a girl on her thirteenth birthday, taken by her father in the morning before the guests arrived. The father claims that she was the only child in the house. If you look at the left side, at the door, you can see a spot in the shape of a child. My father added brightness and made the image clearer. Zooming in on the photo, we see a very angry face with clown makeup, or it is an angry spirit who came to the birthday girl for the holiday.
The person who took this photo in 2005 claims that he was alone near this house at the time of shooting. The house was abandoned and the authorities decided to burn it down according to all the rules. The man took a digital camera and went to watch the burning of an old house. When he printed the photographs, he was shocked to see the outline of a woman clutching a child. They seemed to be looking in the direction of the firefighters. The picture was taken across the street, because the firefighters could not allow anyone to approach this place, and especially not a woman with a child.
A man noticed ghostly figures in the background when he wanted to take a photo of his niece Emmy in front of Staffordshire Castle. At the back of the image, two figures in mail with a shield are unclearly visible. Jones and the man in the red jumper were the only men there at the time.
This photo is nothing more than a group of friends on a bridge in China. But if we look closely, we see a falling figure in the background. There was a terrible fog caused by air pollution and the photographer had to adjust the camera in a special way. The photographer heard the sound and realized that he had become an accidental witness to the tragedy. That he managed to capture the moment of the fall. But imagine his surprise when a few seconds later the woman climbed onto the bridge and jumped again. He was practically paralyzed, but was able to take several shots in a row, almost at random. The photographer contacted the police with these shots, but they stated that they had not found the bodies of the young people who were listed as missing for several weeks.
The story behind this photo is quite popular. A small child in the lower right corner refused to be photographed with the group, claiming that the boy there was scaring him. Mom mistook it for a random child hysterical, but after the photos were printed, everyone noticed a ghostly child between the girls' legs. This child was not found in any subsequent photographs. The owners of the house where the photo was taken claim that they have never encountered ghosts in their home.
They say the Spley pub in the UK is haunted by a ghost. A very good bartender was invited to this pub and a memorable photo was taken with him on an iPhone. Later, while flipping through the photographs, they discovered an unclear face that was not associated with the body.
Look through your photos, maybe there is something strange and frightening in the form of a ghost, share it in the comments.
Our life is full of various secrets. Looking at some representatives of the animal world, you never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity of nature. Sometimes it seems that all living organisms have already been explored and studied, but biologists discover new species every year. Mysterious creatures captured in photos and videos become known throughout the world. They attract those who unconditionally believe in the most incredible theories, and skeptics who often doubt everything.
Mysterious guest from the ocean
As you know, the most mysterious place on our earth is the ocean. Scientists admit that to date only 5% of its vast space has been explored. It is not surprising that from the mysterious depths it throws frightening monsters ashore, causing shock and surprise.
So, in April of this year, news spread throughout the world about the existence of a sea monster reminiscent of a character from the science-fiction film R. Scott “Alien.” A mysterious creature, whose photo appeared all over the media, was discovered on a beach in Thailand. A vacationing traveler captured an incomprehensible discovery of a dirty pink color and immediately posted the pictures on the Internet. Some took the news rather coolly, but after a tourist provided video footage of a strange animal with a transparent body moving, skepticism subsided.
Alien or terrestrial origin?
The Briton, who was not afraid to pick up the organism, wanted to return it to its usual habitat, but the individual wriggled and even quietly made sounds reminiscent of a whistle. The frightened vacationer dropped the “alien”, which looked like a sea slug or a large leech, and hurried to move away from it to a safe distance. No one can answer what the nature of the curiosity captured in the footage is. Whether the inhabitant of the deep sea is an alien visitor or a rare creature of earthly origin, the question remains open. And local residents said that they often meet similar mutants, which no one has yet identified.
Divers who conquer the depths of the sea sometimes encounter very rare inhabitants. The most mysterious creatures in the world are somewhat reminiscent of jellyfish, gently swaying on the waves. Pyrosomes are tiny organisms, but they form giant colonies several meters long. Fluttering translucent tubes, closed at one end, were first discovered by a specialist from Australia in 2011. Free-swimming colonies can grow to the size of a whale, and an adult could easily fit entirely into one of the underwater cylinders. It is strictly forbidden to swim inside with a pyro, as you can get stuck and drown.
Organisms living in the depths feed on tiny plankton and filter the water that flows out of a hole at one end. They use ocean currents to move around, and they are the only living species that move this way. It is curious that the mysterious creatures glow with luminescent light, visible at a distance of several meters.
Some divers who have touched the colonies admit that they feel tender and soft, like jelly. Scientists know very little about pyrosomes, since unique representatives of the underwater world, reminding us of the incomprehensibility of the universe and the secrets that the ocean keeps, are very rare.
Unusual creatures that live at the very bottom of the ocean
Another most curious representative of the deep-sea fauna is the isopod, which resembles a giant woodlice. For the first time, information about the most mysterious creature in the world appeared at the end of the 19th century. A large straight-legged crayfish was discovered at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and its existence disproved the hypothesis that there is no life on the ocean floor.
Since isopods live at very great depths (from 170 to 2200 meters), science knows almost nothing about them. Reaching up to 80 centimeters in length, they weigh about two kilograms. Unusual specimens have a rigid exoskeleton that can fold into a tight ring for protection from predators.
Hermits and scavengers
The most complex organ of an arthropod leading a solitary lifestyle is the eyes, located at a great distance from each other. True, relying on frontal vision in pitch darkness is pointless: it does not allow one to navigate well at great depths. The paired antennae on the head functionally replace both the sense of smell and touch, playing the role of sensory organs. Giant crustaceans that are hermits have seven pairs of small legs.
It is known that they can go for a very long time without food. The food of the inhabitants of the depths is carrion - dead fish or squid, so it is no coincidence that these mysterious creatures are called “scavengers” of the ocean, because they care about the cleanliness of their native environment.
Scientists have no doubt that individuals of enormous size lived on earth more than 160 million years ago.
More recently, information was received from the Argentine province that a mysterious two-meter-tall creature began to attack pets. It runs on all fours and jumps like a kangaroo, and sometimes the monster stands on its hind legs, which does not prevent it from running fast.
Shocked residents took photographs of the monster, which is still afraid of people. However, many fear that the thirst for blood of a terrible creature could soon lead to real tragedy.
Several versions
The dog-like, thin individual, which tore animals to shreds, caused a lot of talk in society. Some believe that this is a real werewolf or a demonic entity that takes on various forms. Others have put forward a theory according to which the monster came to earth from a parallel world to study our planet, scout the area and hunt, taking DNA samples.
And someone saw in the picture the legendary Chupacabra - the “goat vampire” who torments the bodies of animals and drinks their blood. It is believed that this is a mutant created at one of the American secret bases. The Pentagon remains silent on all accusations, and, according to researchers, one should not hope for a speedy solution to the mystery. But skeptics are sure that this is an ordinary bear, only exhausted.
A mysterious creature of the earth or an alien from an alien planet?
Several years ago, a California resident heard strange sounds reminiscent of the cries of a wounded animal. When the terrifying screams died down, the woman went to where they were coming from and discovered one of the most mysterious creatures on earth on the grass. She immediately posted pictures, which clearly showed a slimy pink body with the rudiments of limbs, on the World Wide Web.
An incomprehensible mutant, outwardly unlike any animal known to science, was already dead by that time. On the head of the ugly creature, covered with a transparent placenta sac, you can see undeveloped eyes without pupils and small pointed ears. Users began to debate whether it was an alien or a premature fetus of a wild animal.
Scientists' opinion
Most were inclined to believe that this was the corpse of an alien - a living intelligent being from another planet. However, experts are in no hurry to confirm this version, and suggest that this is an incompletely formed embryo of an artiodactyl, which was torn to pieces by wild predators. Most likely, a pregnant female roe deer came out to people, after which she went into premature labor. However, to this day, the California resident believes in the extraterrestrial nature of her find. Be that as it may, her photograph is very popular and is rapidly being replicated on the Internet.
Scientists who firmly stand their ground claim that the development of animal species on earth is subject to the theory of evolution. However, life often does not agree with the scientific approach, and the 5 mysterious creatures presented in our article are clear proof of this. As it turns out, not everything that goes beyond science is fairy tales and nonsense, not worth attention. Looking at photographs of amazing monsters, you can easily believe in the most terrible legends passed down from generation to generation.
Incredible facts
These photos of strange and sometimes creepy creatures have caused many people to shudder and wonder, "What the hell is this?"
Images of them circulated all over the Internet, allowing many to come up with wild guesses about the creatures' origins.

Here are some of the most amazing creatures that have been discovered and who they really turned out to be.
Strange creatures
1. Montauk Monster
The story began when an unknown creature washed ashore in the Montauk area of New York in 2008. Local youth took photographs of the carcass and sold them to newspapers.
Since the Montauk monster was discovered, other carcasses have been found in the same area. There were suggestions that it was a turtle without a shell, a dog, a large rodent, or a scientific experiment that was carried out at a government animal testing center.
In fact:
Experts concluded that the creature was the corpse of a raccoon, consistent with the shape of teeth and paws, but which was missing a front jaw. The strange appearance is explained by the fact that his body began to decompose.
2. Louisiana Monster
In December 2010, an unknown person's deer hunting camera captured something frightening.
The photo shows a thin, clumsy, fast-moving and, apparently, nocturnal creature that seemed to want to swallow your soul.
In fact:
The mystery of this creature has not been solved, although many believe that the picture was processed using Photoshop. Two companies tried to use the photo for viral advertising.
For example, the Playstation company stated that the creature was in the game Resistance 3.
There were also those who claimed that this was the “fallen angel” captured on video in the forest, appearing at 45 seconds.
3. Alien child from Mexico
In May 2007, a Mexican farmer Mario Moreno Lopez(Mario Moreno Lopez) discovered a strange creature in a rat trap. He tried to drown him, killing him only the third time.
The creature was small - about 70 cm long with an elongated head, which led to speculation that it was the child of an alien with a high level of intelligence.
However, skeptics said it could be a reptile or a skinless squirrel monkey, which would explain the tail and spine, as well as the large head and eyes.
The farmer himself mysteriously died in the car at an abnormally high temperature some time after drowning the creature, which many ufologists considered alien revenge for the child.
In fact:
Scientists have argued that the creature's teeth are not positioned like human teeth, and it itself has unique tissue that has not been modified, which refutes the monkey theory.
Later, the farmer’s nephew and part-time taxidermist admitted that the creature was the corpse of a monkey, from which the skin and ears were removed and which was placed in the liquids of various animals.
4. Blue Hill Horror
In September 2009, four teenagers playing in the village of Cerro Azul in Panama discovered a strange creature running out of a cave. According to them, the monster began to chase them, and the teenagers began throwing stones at it until they killed it, and then threw the body into the water.
The newspapers called the creature Gollum (the character from The Lord of the Rings) because it lived in a cave, and also the Blue Hill Horror.
In fact:
Scientists discovered that the teenagers' story was a fiction, and the creature turned out to be the body of a sloth that had begun to decompose. Due to being in the water for so long, his hair had disappeared, giving him a bloated, rubbery appearance.
5. Alien corpse at ceremony in Thailand
In 2010, a series of photographs appeared on social networks taken in 2007 at the funeral ceremony of a strange alien-like creature in Thailand. It had a large round head, gray skin covered in white powder, resembling a satyr with tiny hooves and a tail.
Some claim that the ceremony was performed to get rid of evil spirits associated with the creature, while others believed that the inhabitants worshiped the creature as a deity.
In fact:
There were suggestions that the creature was a disfigured cow, although it looked very humanoid. Many point to the large number of anomalous animals appearing around the world and believe that aliens are experimenting on animals, creating strange hybrids that will one day take over the world.
Mysterious creatures
6. Humanoid from Chile
In October 2002, while traveling with his family to Chile Julio Carreno(Julio Carreno) discovered a tiny humanoid 7.2 cm long in the bushes.
The creature had a large humanoid head, nails and opened its eyes, and died 8 days after discovery. When he was alive, he had pink skin that darkened and his body remained warm before quickly mummifying itself.
In fact:
The humanoid's body was examined by veterinarians from Santiago, whose opinions were divided as to who the creature was. They confirmed that it was not a human fetus or the remains of a feline, and its physical characteristics were more consistent with a mouse possum. However, the creature did not have the small sharp teeth or tail of a possum, and the head was twice as large.
7. Chupacabra from Texas
The creature known as the "Bigfoot" of Latin America has been seen several times in Puerto Rico and the United States, namely in Texas. According to legend, the chupacabra (which translates from Spanish as “goat bloodsucker”) kills livestock and drinks their blood.
According to descriptions, this creature had no fur, its skin had a bluish-gray tint.
These creatures have been seen and shot several times in Texas for strangling dozens of chickens.
In fact:
DNA tests showed the animal was a wolf-coyote hybrid that had lost its hair due to mange. Although the ability to suck blood from chickens and goats remains unclear.
8. Huge boar from A Labamas
In May 2007, an 11-year-old boy, Jamison Stone, from Alabama in the United States, shot a huge wild boar weighing almost 480 kg and 2.80 meters long. The boy, who was hunting with his father, shot the animal eight times and chased it for three hours. When the boar was shot, trees had to be cut down to get it. The animal's head was left as a trophy, and about 200-300 kg of sausages were made from the meat.
In fact:
Many people signed a petition accusing the boy of animal cruelty. Skeptics consider the whole story to be fiction, and the boar was, in fact, raised on a farm and fattened in order to sensationalize the story. Also, many believed that this was simply the result of Photoshop processing.
9. Eastern Yeti Captured in China
In April 2010, hunters captured a balding mammal that resembled a bear with a kangaroo tail and made cat-like noises. The creature became a real sensation and was called the “Eastern Yeti.” According to legend, the Yeti had the figure of a bear, which was much taller than a man. This creature was no more than 60 cm in length.
In fact:
Experts concluded that it was a common musang with scabies. The animal was sent to Beijing for examination, but the results were never made public.
10. "Alien" from Chelyabinsk
This creature was discovered in an abandoned pit in Chelyabinsk in Russia. It had a hard shell, several limbs located one above the other, and a tail. Some have suggested that this monster is a huge scale insect, horseshoe crab, or trilobite, which went extinct before the dinosaurs.
In fact:
Apparently, these creatures are shield crustaceans, which are one of the oldest animals, a species that is more than 200 million years old. Usually its size does not exceed 6-7 cm, while the discovered animal reached about 60 cm
The world we know is not so harmless.
After all, somewhere out there, in the dark, in forests isolated from view and in the deep depths of reservoirs, they live.
They appear unexpectedly and disappear just as unexpectedly. Frightened witnesses find themselves dumbfounded and bewildered.
Let's talk about six mystical creatures that we managed to capture on camera
POPULAR:
1. Bigfoot was filmed running near a lake
An ordinary family reports that they managed to capture the legendary Bigfoot on video. The Americans made this amazing discovery during their trip to Oregon.
In the presented video you can see the father of the family standing near the lake with a camera and telling his family about the area. At the same time, on the opposite bank of the reservoir, a tall dark figure is noticeable, which begins to run away through the grass to the side.
It is noteworthy that the incident took place back in July last year, and the next day the Americans uploaded this video to YouTube, but then no one was interested in it. Now cryptozoologist Nathan Griffin from Massachusetts found the old material and talked about it on his website, after which the recording finally gained popularity.
Skeptics are convinced it is a hoax and the video shows a man in a suit, but Griffin believes it could very well be a real Bigfoot.
2. The corpse of an unknown creature was found in a Siberian mine
On March 8, 2017, Siberian miners accidentally made an amazing discovery.
Miners dug up an incomprehensible, creepy creature in the sands of a diamond mine. Many local miners believe that this is the corpse of an animal unknown to science.
But skeptics on the World Wide Web have suggested that we are talking about the remains of a young wolverine, and the corpse was simply deformed under the influence of sand and time.
The remains found by the Siberians actually somewhat resemble a mammal of the mustelid family. Impressive sharp fangs and an elongated skull indicate that this monster was a carnivore. However, the creature has a body that is excessively long for a wolverine, and its legs are too short and powerful.
Several zoologists who previously examined the corpse reported that they had never seen such animals before. Although experts do not rule out that it could be a mutant or some kind of mythical Chupacabra.
The corpse of a mysterious animal was dug up in the Udachnaya mine in the Mirny district of Yakutia. In this area there are many diamond-bearing sands that were here back in the Mesozoic era.
Thus, the age of the mummy of the mysterious monster could be two hundred million years. Was it really possible that chupacabras penetrated our world in those distant times?..
3. The Jersey Devil Was Photographed in Pennsylvania
The Jersey Devil is a mythical American monster supposedly found in the wooded Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. Numerous eyewitnesses describe the cryptid as an upright creature measuring one to two meters tall.
6. The legendary Mothman was photographed again in the USA
The Mothman is a mysterious creature that has been repeatedly spotted in the vicinity of the American city of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, since the sixties of the last century.
According to eyewitnesses, this cryptid resembles a two-meter man with short, ashy-colored hair. The monster’s legs are similar to human ones, on the shoulders of the amazing creature there are two huge wings with a span of at least three meters, resembling the wings of a bat.
Another distinctive feature of the Mothman is his two large, glowing red eyes that can hypnotize people. The creature cannot speak, but is capable of producing a piercing sound that has something in common with a heart-rending female scream.
The Mothman has been photographed several times. One of these photographs was taken in January 1967, a few months before the Silver Bridge collapsed in Point Pleasant.
An eyewitness saw a winged creature sitting on the bridge and took a photograph of it. And in December of the same year, the bridge collapsed, killing forty-six people. Researchers suggest that the mysterious creature was a harbinger of disaster.
Based on this tragedy, the mystical thriller “The Mothman Prophecies” was even filmed in 2002.
A resident of Point Pleasant managed to get new photos of the legendary cryptid.
A man was returning to the city in the evening along local highway number two and suddenly noticed a large “animal” jumping from one tree to another. The American grabbed his camera, ran out of the car and took three photos, capturing a fantastic creature against the dark sky. It was clearly a humanoid creature with wings.
The man quickly contacted journalists from a local TV channel and provided them with these images. The incident and its coverage became something of a sensation in Point Pleasant, as the Mothman had not been seen there for many years.
Residents of the city are both proud of their mythical monster and afraid of it: although the cryptid does not attack anyone, accidents often occur where it is noticed.
Is the Mothman really prophesying something evil again now?...
