The legend of the Ucumar Zupai is reborn in a wilderness near El Creston, some 40 kilometers west of San Jose de Metan.

Farm owner and nephew had gone out to round up the cows when the strange specimen appeared.

Two ranchers in the vicinity of Cerro El Creston, some 40 kilometers west of San Jose de Metan, hunted down a strange creature of humanoid appearance, but with unusually large and sharp incisors.

The similarity between this specimen and local tales of the mythic “Ucumar” – the manlike figure covered in short black hair – has renewed the debate in Salta over the existence of the local “yeti”.

The presence of a creature having such characteristics has been news for decades in the forested areas to the south of the province, particularly in Rosario de la Frontera, where eyewitness accounts have been collected.

Photographs of the remains of the specimen gunned down in the cloud forest of Cerro El Creston were taken by Martin, a resident of Metan who did not wish to give his name, at the property belonging to the ranchers who shot it.

The photo – taken with a cell phone – clearly shows a hominid specimen with long fangs and protruding eyes.

The Story

The ranchers are an older man, 79, whose initials are J.S. and the other is his nephew, E.S. Both requested anonymity to ward off curiosity seekers.

Almost shyly, Martin told El Tribuno about his experience with the strange being during a visit to his friends the ranchers. “That Saturday I arrived and they told me what had occurred during the morning. I entered the home and there it was, hanging from its feet, its hands tied to one side and extending down to the floor.”

Unhurriedly, he continued his story: “I asked him what it was, and they couldn’t answer. They only said that in the dark of night, they thought it might have been a puma or a goblin, because they only saw its enormous green eyes shining by light of the flashlights.”

According to the young man, J.S. and E.S. had gone out on the evening of 23 July to round up cattle, as they were planning to brand the livestock on the following day.

Amid the darkness, they heard a nearly deafening sound on the edge of one of the hills surrounding their property. They cast light upon the source of the noise with the flashlight, and found themselves staring at two enormous green eyes that nearly froze their hearts. “They told me they thought it was a goblin, and to scare it away, they fired a shot. They were unlucky enough to hit it in the head.”

Apparently, the bullet entered through the lower left side of the jaw, exiting through the upper right eyebrow ridge. Due to this impact, the alleged “Ucumar” collapsed instantly. “The dogs that were with us, accustomed to finding wild pigs, ran toward the carcass, and when my friends chased them, they came across that thing.”

The two gauchos carried the remains back to their ranch to analyze it at length. The next day, with sunlight, there was no doubt about it: they had shot an Ucumar, although to confirm this, it would be necessary to go into deeper study. For the time being, all we have are speculations and suspicions.

What can indeed be confirmed is that the veterinary specialists consulted by El Tribuno state that the specimen “hunted” by accident is not native to the region.

Carcass Hurled Down a Canyon

Martin continued to relate his experiences with the ranchers of Cerro El Crestón. He noted that “On Saturday morning, J.S. asked us to cut off his head and throw the body far away, as he did not wish to be the victim of any revenge.”

The revenge that Martin referred to is that the being they had found was allegedly a “cub” of an Ucumar, which could take reprisals against him for having shot and killed its young.

The state that it was a “cub” due to the diameter of the specimen’s skull, which measured some 15 centimeters. They calculate the creature’s height at some 60 to 70 centimeters.

“Overall, the people who live in these parts believe greatly in these things: goblins, the Ucumar…matter of fact, I must admit I felt afraid. At one point I thought about bringing the body to Metán, but I got scared,” said the fellow who spoke with El Tribuno.

Martin explained that “we cut off its head, which remained at the ranch. But we wrapped up the body in several bags and threw it down a canyon.”

J.S. the owner of the ranch where the strange events transpired, lives alone in the area. His nearest neighbor is 15 kilometers away. The man is visited by his nephews every so often.

“It Had Fingers and Toes”

The witness who got to hold the body of the hunted hominid explained that “it was covered in short black hair all over its body, except for the face. It was impressive to see the size of its incisor.” He added that the manlike figure had fingers and toes.

“The truth is that it was a one of a kind experience. I had never seen anything like it. When we go to the ranch at Cerro El Creston, we find hairs stuck to the tree trunks, as though “it” was scratching itself against them. There are many animals in the area, but none with fur resembling that of the creature they hunted,” Martin explained.

“I Never Saw Anything Like It”

Marcelo Choque, a forensic veterinarian for the Provincial Police under the Environmental Division of the service, was startled to see the photographs of the strange specimen’s skull, shot by a rancher in the heights of Cerro El Creston in Metán. “I never saw anything like it. It’s clearly an anthropomorphic figure, but I can’t tell you the species. And I could much less explain the exaggerated size of its incisors, which give it a monstrous appearance.”

The expert paused to think for a moment and continued. “There are no anthropoids in the are where they shot it. And the ones belonging to our fauna do not possess in any way the humanoid characteristics showing in the photo. If it is a monkey of some sort, it would be a rarity, an unclassified species or a genetic aberration. I’m stunned and I think it would be necessary to travel with a team of experts to the area where the skull is kept in order to conduct an analysis of the remains.”

I uploaded this video a few years ago to YouTube after the raw file was sent to me from an anonymous reader. Some of the comments still crack me up to this day. In any event I dont have a clue what the hell it is…so whats your spin on it ?

A rumor is circulating in Russia and rippling across the whole world as yet another account of a fisherman being taken by a mystery creature is coming to light. The strange creature has been sighted yet again and is known to locals only as the Lake Chany Monster. It has been compared to the Loch Ness Monster, but with one major difference: This creature is said to actually kill.

The most recent account has come out just as one victim, a man aged 59 was dragged into the water and never seen again. The creature is said to stalk the waters in search of food, and has been known to target fishermen in desperate times. And now it has been given a new name, “Nesski” as the Russian counterpart to Nessie. It’s said to have a head comparably small to its body and bear many striking similarities to its counterpart in Loch Ness. And fishermen around the region of Novosibirsk have been known to spin many tales, but some of the most feared are those surrounding this mysterious and deadly creature.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, fisherman Vladimir Golishev recounted the horrifying ordeal. He had been with his fishing companion no further than 300 yards from the shore when suddenly they got a bite on the reel. Something massive pulled with a tremendous power unlike anything they had seen previously and actually capsized the entire boat they were on. The fishermen both tried to swim to safety, but as Golishev reached the shore he couldn’t find his friend anywhere. In the bitter cold it wasn’t clear how long his friend could survive. The missing man was never recovered.

Tales of supernatural entities causing injury or even death to human beings may be rare in the western world, but in Russia there are several cases of contact with the other side resulting in death or injury. In the Ural Mountain range, an infamous case that would forever be known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident made headlines as a group of hikers were found dead by unknown causes, but with several witnesses from afar reporting mysterious lights hovering over the area. Similarly a missing girl in the same region as recently as 2009 was reported as being chased by mysterious bright lights before disappearing and never being seen again. The strange incidents coming out of Russia paint a grim picture that the supernatural there is far more active and capable of acting violently than it generally is here. And Lake Chany seems to be a focal point of this activity. To date the lake has claimed at least 19 lives since 2007, though fishermen have said as many as a hundred have actually lost their lives as a result of the mysterious monster. Currently fishermen are demanding authorities take a look at the area to determine the nature of this mysterious creature. So far there is no official word on whether an investigation will take place. And the other question seems clear enough. If authorities do discover something lurking in the icy waters of the Chany, what will be done about it ?

After a strong storm in the Maine area, the local artist Dave Drayton drives from his house nearby the lake to the supermarket with his son Billy and his arrogant neighbor, the lawyer Brent Norton, to get supplies. Along their way, they see a heavy mist and later, military convoys, police and firefighter trucks, ambulances heading toward it. While in the supermarket, a frantic bleeding local arrives crying that there is something alive in the mist and the manager closes the entrance door while the place is encased by the mist. When David, another client and two employees go to the back of the store to start the generator, they open the back-door and the cashier Norm (Chris Owen) is hold and dragged by fierce tentacles. David and the two survivors succeed to close the loading door, and when they tell the people what happened, Brent does not trust on his words and believes it is a prank and the God-fearing woman Mrs. Carmody preaches the Apocalypse and that she is the vessel of Lord on Earth. Sooner the group discovers that they are under siege of blood thirsty creatures from another dimension that have reached our planet through a window open by a failed military research. Further, the crazy Mrs. Carmody has many followers and is becoming dangerous and dangerous in her speeches. Without alternative, a small group leaded by David decides to take the chance to escape from the supermarket and reach his car, hoping to get out of the mist.

Here’s also a chance to introduce the Gable Film for a second time to the people who haven’t already read about it or seen it. From what I know the original documentary video was removed from Youtube as a request by the owner. It couldn’t be found anywhere until now, as it was recently re-uploaded.

From what I know the “Gable Film” still hasn’t been proven to be authentic nor false. There have been a few detailed researches on it by different people though, but that’s about it. Also with the debunking of the Georgia bigfoot hoax, I find it suspect that suddenly this video pops up after being “lost in the mix” for several years.
I’m not exactly feeling the “Blair Witch” motiff of it either.
But according to the article I found on this, the original website that contains the “unedited” version of this video seems to have also mysteriously vanished.

So heres a solid piece of advice.
Lets not have another Georgia Bigfoot circus over this, the jury is still out on this one and quite frankly the possible ruling on it aint looking to good.

*FOLLOW UP RESEARCH

This is the image which first prompted us to consider the film a hoax. The creature is about 50 yards from the cameraman, facing him. He has just begun a commando-style crawl movement from right to left in the frame. If you look behind and to the right, the light and shadow give the impression of an extended human leg and foot. Note the broad shoulders and the “Y” shape of the face, topped by two pointed ears.

Moments later, the creature lunges forward, and makes a sharp turn to his left. It is at this point that something very strange happens. The right rear leg appears to radically change shape, at one point looking like a feeble “L,” then extending quickly downward, assuming a canine structure. The body seems to bulk into an almost gorilla shape.

This is the most remarkable frame of all. In the space of a few seconds, the creature has morphed from a humanlike shape crawlling sideways, to a distinctly canine shape accelerating forward at a startling rate. Note the rear leg extending outward as the creature lunges, and the tail swinging up behind.

This frame is a drastically overprocessed duplicate of the previous image. Here, we are using a technique called gradient layering to bring out 3 dimensional detail. Looking closely at the face, you can make out eyes, ears, snout, and what appears to be an extended lower jaw.

This final frame is the one that convinced so many people that this cannot be a human in a suit. All four feet of the creature are now off the ground, as he hits full stride in his charge toward the cameraman. We have challenged several very athletic people to attempt to run on their hands and knees and leave the ground. Not one has been able to duplicate this action, invariably they end up on their chin. A physical therapist who viewed the enhanced film stated such a movement is impossible for a human.

Dont even ask what this is cause I just dont know. some think that creature is just a dog, but it’s too big for a dog, compare it to the car and you’ll see what I mean, it’s full stride must be at least 12ft. Also it has a large round head and long mishaped limbs (especially the hind). No other info on this, but its not a dog !

Now its been suggested that its a racing hound like a greyhound but I disagree and heres why:
Pause it at 4 seconds when it hops the guard rails and it’s rear legs are fully extended.Even the sleekest grey hounds legs don’t look like this. It’s legs look as long if not longer than a human. Also it’s ass section is extremely high in comparison to it’s front shoulders.
Plus compared to the speed of the cars, and the fact that it crossed both lanes in only 3 bounds makes me say no way is this a dog.

Its freaky looking, whatever it is.
