There is a being that lives in our world that may have been here as long, if not longer, than us. It is said to consume dead people, and when it can't find any, it just might make some of their own. Could there be a creature out there, looking to make a meal out of you and me.

People have had encounters with beings from other worlds. Many wind up taking a ride whether they wanted to or not. Here are a few stories of alien abductions.

People have seen creatures with the heads of one beast and the body of another. These would be chimera, creatures with mixed DNA. Here are a few examples of real-life creatures of unusual parentage, and a few monsters.

Octopi have some otherworldly attributes. They have nine brains. Their blood is blue. They can escape from just about anywhere. There is a lot of evidence they might not be from our planet.

In the area around Flixton, Greater Manchester, England, there have been sightings of a huge, hair covered creature, with a really bad smell. It has been nicknamed Old Stinker. The surprising thing about this creature is it has been roaming the countryside since 940 AD. Is this one creature or many all looking and... smelling the same way.

Is Santa Claus real. I met a man who, if he's not the real Santa, he does a pretty good job of impersonating the Big Guy. Nick told me his adventures and misadventures as he went through life, bringing a little joy to some kids, and a few adults.

Is the year really 2025. Is there any possibility we are actually living in 1728.

There are some things out there that just don't behave the way they should. Sometimes they act as if possessed or haunted. There are also things that might lead you to a haunted place or thing. Life just might not be as safe and ordered as we would like.

I found some more weird creatures to go along with last week's show. Things like the Blemmyae, who have their faces on their chest. The Adlet, a human with the body of a dog. The Nuckelavee is a demon from Northern Scotland. More creatures to keep an eye out for.

There are some strange creatures out there that we get to live with. Did you know the unicorn is based on a real beast? The wild boar is more dangerous than most folks would think. In ancient times, people had a creature known as Scorpion-Men. There was a giant blood sucking bat known as the Camazotz. People are still reporting seeing it today. The Kludde is one of the most bizarre cryptids I've ever read about. Not even sure it's a cryptid or something else.
