Deep within the shifting sands of the Gobi Desert lies the elusive Olgoi-Khorkhoi, The Mongolian Death Worm – or so legend has it. The Mongolian Death Worm is a bright red worm, a mysterious cryptid said to inhabit the southern Gobi Desert. Local Mongolian tribesmen claim to have seen the creature in their travels, but the stories have never been confirmed, even after many attempts by multiple research expeditions over the years.

The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event is the most famous case of mass destruction because it was greatly popularized by mankind’s vested interest in dinosaurs. While the scientific consensus is that no dinosaur survived to our times, there are multiple cryptid sightings that would suggest at least some of them might still be around. Below you will find five of the strangest sightings related to this subject. Some 66 million years before our time, the Earth was struck by a 6 mile wide space rock that was going 45,000 miles per hour. The devastating impact was more than two million times more powerful than the Tsar Bomba, the biggest explosive device mankind ever built. But it wasn’t the blunt force of the hot that killed off the majority of our planet’s animal life. In the period following the asteroid hit, the world was engulfed in flames, shook by earthquakes and drowned in emissions from volcanic eruptions. The unrelenting global acid rain that followed, coupled with the atmospheric ash blocking sunlight resulted in plant life being greatly diminished. As the plant eaters died, they determined the fall of the entire food chain, rapidly causing the extinction of the behemoths that ruled the planet for over 160 million years. The dinosaurs were gone forever. Or were they? Mokele Mbembe The deepest river in the world is the African Congo and the surrounding jungle is the world’s second largest. Modern humans have explored only a fraction of the Congo rainforest so it is pretty clear that there are countless secrets still left to discover. Since times immemorial, tribes who make their home in the Congolese forests have been religiously passing down a legend that makes them shiver. They unwillingly talk aboutMokele Mbembe, a beast whose name literally means “the one who stops the flow of rivers.” Tribe members who swear they’ve seen it describe a fearsome creature with the body of an elephant, a long tail and a neck ending with a small head. Although the cryptid feeds on plants, it is said to be highly territorial and therefore aggressive. Mokele Mbembe prefers resting its cumbersome body in deep waters and would sometimes flip over and drag under any boat that dared cross certain river bends. This description fits an animal that resembles extinct sauropods such as the Diplodocusor Argentinosaurus. The earliest expedition to go in search of this fabled beast took place in 1776. While the members of the expedition failed to discover the creature, they did bring back caster prints. The circumference of Mokele Mbembe’s paws measured over three feet, lending further credence to the idea that it is indeed a dinosaur. Over the course of the following centuries, more than 30 official expeditions attempted to capture the cryptid or its image, but they could neither prove nor dismiss its existence. All the while, the tribal stories about Mokele Mbembe still strike campfire fear in the hearts of those who hear them. Thunderbirds Pterosaurs or winged lizards were commonplace in the world of dinosaurs. Their specialized wings allowed them to traverse vast distances of the Cretaceous without expending too much effort. The largest pterosaur, Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan the size of a bus and could easily pick up a human and swallow him whole. Between 2001 and 2002, several Pennsylvanians forwarded reports detailing their encounters with a huge, long-necked flying creature that resembled a bird but had one key distinction: it lacked feathers. The witnesses description was reminiscent of a wave of sightings that occurred in Texas in 1978 and 1982. Similar sightings have been reported halfway around the world, in the Congo River basin, where locals told tales of a creature making its nest in the high hills. The large flier reportedly had such a bad attitude towards boats and their passengers that it was nicknamed Kongamato, meaning the Overturner of Boats. It was most active at dusk, when it probably went out to feed. Cryptozoologists are convinced ts smooth skin and teeth-packed beak are a clear indicator that the animal could very well be a pterosaur. A 1988 expedition that went looking for the enigmatic creature turned up nothing except for a quick glimpse that revealed a huge black shadow with white stripes gliding in the distance. Short as it was, the sighting was enough to cement the idea that the majestic Quetzalcoatlus might not be so extinct after all. Giant Snakes No, snakes weren’t dinosaurs but they were already here when the dinosaurs arrived. And while palaeontologists haven’t been able to figure out what metabolism dinosaurs had, we do know that snakes slither the same way they did 200 million years ago. But they did grow bigger. Way bigger. The largest snake to have undulated his body on the face of the Earth was Titanoboa cerrejonensis, which is synonym with 40 feet of pure, constricting terror. That is the biggest specimen according to fossil records that were discovered, but we would be perfectly safe in assuming they could grow even longer. As over-the-top as that might seem, the South American continent is home to legends of even larger snakes. The Amazon’s murky waters could, in theory, offer them the cover to reach over 150 feet in length. Locals call the giant snake Yacumama, Mother of the Water. No official sighting exists but those who’ve seen it swear on their lives the animal is real. The longest recorded Anaconda measured roughly 25 feet in length but that doesn’t even come close to the Yacumama’s reported size. If rumors of its existence are true, this serpent could be an undiscovered species of Anaconda or even a surviving T. cerrejonensis. Either way, it doesn’t look like it enjoys publicity so we might never get to see one. Ngoubou Stories about this African cryptid have only surfaced in recent years, and only by accident. While researching legends about Mokele Mbembe in Cameroon, two cryptozoologists heard a rumor about another massive beast. Members of a local tribe said it footsteps made the earth tremble and its roar scared off predators. Although smaller in size, the animal was well equipped and aggressive enough to fight rhinos and elephants over territory. Hunters who came face to face with Ngoubou said it looked vaguely similar to a rhino but had six horns arranged in a semicircular manner around a bony frill. You don’t need to be Roy Chapman Andrews to recognize a Triceratops-type dinosaur (like Styracosaurus) when you hear its description. The cryptozoologists became convinced they were onto something when they showed the tribesmen pictures of dinosaurs. When showed a triceratops, the men said it looked just like Ngoubou, only it had fewer horns. They took the issue very seriously and insisted they weren’t mistaken. Burrunjor In their heyday, dinosaurs like T. rex and Allosaurus were the top dogs. If they would have been present when man made his first appearance, it would have probably been the last one. Nowadays, it seems apex predators such as these guys are only present in movies and our imagination. And don’t forget Australia. The Aboriginal people of Australia huddle around the fire to sing legends about an enormous reptile that is basically a pair of giant jaws walking around on two feet. Its only shortcoming are its two tiny arms. During the 1950s, it seems this creature made a leap from legends into reality when ranchers looking for their missing cattle found its tracks in the dirt. The footprints were far too large to have been left behind by any known Australian creature so, naturally, the farmers recoiled in fear when they heard commotion near the river. Ignoring the loud, guttural grunts, one of them decided to investigate but came back running when he spotted the silhouette of a humongous bipedal lizard disappearing into the scrappy bushes. The next day, their missing cattle turned up. Some bitten in half, others in smaller pieces, all very dead. That sounds like a perfect description of T. rex behavior. Strange as they are, sightings such as these ones are far from being isolated events. Encounters with scaly and feathery beasts resembling dinosaurs come from many places and times. Legends involving the Loch Ness monster and its Icelandic counterpart, Lagarfljótsormur date back centuries. Native Americans in modern-day Canada have been retelling stories about Ogopogo since their oral history can remember. Strange things might be lurking in Earth’s dark forests and deep oceans, things that are eerily-reminiscent of the saurian form.

The up loader on YouTube only mentioned that they were with a group of people scouting out exchange 30 for the Hood to Coast race. One volunteer strapped a GoPro camera to their dog. As they wandered through the woods in Oregon, they stumbled upon what appears to be a Sasquatch. Via http://www.disclose.tv/ Watch video below: This image taken from a game cam in AZ has excited Bigfoot enthusiast. Some researchers say the creature's eyes look ape like. Multiple people have claimed to see a large, furry looking animal running through the woods in the Halifax County town, according to one resident. There’s now even a museum dedicated to the sightings of what some are calling a Bigfoot. A hunter in Florida placed his trail camera on a tree. He was very surprised to see what he turned up. Is this the famous Skunk Ape some people say they have seen in that state? Leave your comments. Richard Shaw and L. A. Marzulli travel to Mexico where Jaime Mausson reveals a creature that blows both men out of the room! This video is a sneak preview of what we have sat on since June of 2013. We reveal our findings in Watchers 10! I'll tell you this, both Richard and I believe the creature is real and you will too once you examine all of the evidence in our cutting edge film, Watchers 10-DNA as well as my new book Nephilim Hybrids. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction... What you are about to see if what people refer to as a fairy. We examined the x-rays of this fairy. We also tried to get some dna from samples we took to the US. This fairy was being stored in a jar with formaldehyde. You'll have to see it to believe it! Could this be what comes out of the Abyss, that we read about in Revelation 9? "Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months." Watch also A family of 4 in southeastern Oregon on Sunday released footage containing what they called a “Bigfoot” creature. Jason Dixon, his wife, son and father were recording a video in front of Wildhorse Lake on Saturday when they spotted the human-like figure. The 20-second-video shows Dixon’s father speaking to the camera, being held by his grandson, as Dixon is heard in the background regarding the unknown “animal”. A biped can be seen in what appears to be a squatting position by the edge of the lake as it brings water to its mouth. “Dad what is that?” asks Dixon’s son. The “animal” starts running across the green grass and away from the lake. The grandfather then turns around and Dixon suggests it is possibly a bear. The camera immediately shuts down. Brian Foerster saw this very odd being in an office in Mexico City in January of 2016. The creature looks like a small human with bright wings, like fairies. Or could it be an ancient locust, similar to the locust creatures in Revelation 9, insect-like creatures with human faces or maybe it is a flying humanoid? Some believe the winged creature is not real, but Brian as a trained biologist has a hard time thinking it is fake. Watch also: According to Bigfoot researcher MK Davis a new processing technique has led to one of the clearest Patty clips to date. The infamous Patterson-Gimlin film is still regarded as one of the best pieces of Bigfoot evidence to date. Davis put forth this enhanced version in a new Bigfoot video which you can see below. This is definitely one of the best looks we have ever seen at the creature known as Patty. The famous footage has been a highly debated topic between skeptics and believers for years as to its authenticity. We may never be able to prove without the shadow of a doubt whether or not this footage is real or not but work such as this definitely keeps the historic footage alive. The debate will surely continue but some aspects of the creature which can now be seen have seemingly given believers more to grasp onto with hopes of just one of the Bigfoot sightings 2016 that will include a more up to date piece of footage as captivating as this historic one!
