Spot-bellied Eagle Owl

The spot-bellied eagle-owl (Bubo nipalensis), also known as the forest eagle-owl is a large bird of prey with a formidable appearance. It is a forest-inhabiting species found in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This species is considered part of a superspecies with the barred eagle-owl (Bubo sumatranus), which looks quite similar but is allopatric in distribution, replacing the larger spot-bellied species in the southern end of the Malay Peninsula and the larger island in Southeast Asia extending down to Borneo.

The spot-bellied eagle-owl is a large species of owl. It measures from 50 to 65 cm (20 to 26 in) in length. It is the sixth longest owl in the world on average and has the ninth longest wings of any living owl. The ear-tufts of the spot-bellied are very long and conspicuously of variable length, giving them a somewhat scraggly appearance at the tips. The ear-tufts of the spot-bellied eagle-owl measure up to 63 to 76 mm (2.5 to 3.0 in) in length. Most eagle-owls are well-feathered on both their leg and toes, while the barred eagle-owl is featherless on the toes and feathered on the legs, and the spot-bellied eagle-owl has feathered legs and feet, but the terminal digits of the toes are bare before the talons. The feet and talons as formidable as any eagle-owl, being very large, heavy and powerful for their size.

The spot-bellied eagle-owl is overall a stark, grayish brown bird, with dark, coarse brown coloration over the back and upper wings. The throat and underparts are mainly pale fulvous in color with black and white horizontal stripes along the flanks of the body that become broad spots on the abdomen and under tail coverts. On the wings, the primaries are dark brown with lighter brown stripes and the secondaries are more heavily barred with buff-brown coloration. The lores are covered in bristly feathers and the cheeks are brownish-white with black feather shafts. The large ear tufts slant off to the sides.

This owl is noted for its strange, human-sounding call, and it has been suggested that it is the same as the cryptid known as ulama or "Devil Bird" in Sri Lanka. A local name is Maha Bakamuna ("large horned owl"). According to www.cryptozoology.com, in July 2001 it was confirmed that ulama description perfectly matches spot-bellied eagle-owl. This call consists of a scream, which rises and then falls in tone. The territorial call of the species, like that of most other eagle-owls, consists of low hoots with two-second intervals between hoos. The voice is booming, deep and carries quite far. It is usual for forest-dwelling owls (and many different kinds of birds) to have an extensive and complex range of vocalizations since vision is more limited than in open or semi-open habitats. However, the spot-bellied eagle owl has relatively small ear openings even for a member of the genus Bubo, suggesting that some territorial behaviour is carried out visually instead of auditorily.

This species is distributed the Lower Himalayas from Kumaon east to Burma, thence to central Laos and central Vietnam. They are found throughout the Indian subcontinent and peninsular Southeast Asia down into the southernmost limits of the range in Sri Lanka and to 12 degrees north in southern Thailand. The spot-bellied eagle-owl dwells mainly in primary or older second growth forests. Potentially, they can come to inhabit nearly all varieties of land-based habitats but prefer those such as dense, evergreen forests or moist deciduous forests within its range, though can range secondarily into tropical valleys, terrai and shola in the lower hills of India. Although often considered uncommon to somewhat rare, recent photographic evidence indicates that they are particularly widely found in different parts of India and may simply avoid detection, so long as appropriate wooded habitat remains.

The spot-bellied eagle-owl is nocturnal and often spends its day hidden in the dense foliage of large forest trees. However, they have been observed on the move and even hunting during the day, especially in forests with minimal human disturbance. Their activity normally picks up at dusk as they begin to hunt. This species is generally uncommon, likely needing large hunting and breeding territories and thus occurs at low densities. However, it continues to occur over a large range and is not thought to be conservation dependent. Areas, where deforestation occurs, are likely to be vacated by this species, which is perhaps the only widespread threat faced by this owl.

Did you know that Napoleon Bonaparte had a mystical experience inside the Great Pyramid of Giza? When a few of his most trusted men asked Napoleon what had happened inside of the Pyramid, Napoleon replied: ‘Even If I told you, you would not believe me.’It is said that one night of August in 1799 changed the course of world history as Napoleon Bonaparte was inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, experiencing a secret that would forever alter Napoleon’s destiny.If we look back into history, we will find out that on summer of 1798, more than thirty thousand French soldiers came to Egypt under the command of General Bonaparte.His official mission was to free the country of the Nile from three centuries of Turkish rule and, incidentally, to block the free navigation of the English with their eastern colonies.However, the young Napoleon did something no other person had ever done: he took with him more than a hundred scholars from all disciplines to study, write down and copy all they could from the land of the Pharaohs.Temples, tombs, mummies, tunnels, lavish treasures and the sacred pyramids opened up, revealing to the world a fascinating history.In fact, it was Napoleon’s expedition, which was as military as scientific when the European continent rediscovered the lost treasures of ancient Egypt and even found a key that allowed the entire world to understand what ancient Egyptians wrote down thousands of years ago.As one of Napoleon’s soldiers was digging a trench around the medieval fortress of Rachid, he found by chance one of the most important ancient Egyptian artifacts in history: The Rosetta stone which helped scholars finally decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics.The Rosetta stone was written down in three versions: hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek. From the Greek writings, researchers were finally able to find an equivalence in hieroglyphics and establish a sort of code to read ancient Egyptian texts.

The good man went into his chapel then to fetch a book and a stole which he put around his neck, and on his return he set about conjuring the Enemy. He had been reading the invocation for some while, when he looked up and saw the Enemy before him in such a hideous guise that the stoutest of hearts would have quailed at the sight of him.

“Thou dost plague me cruelly,” said the Enemy. “Here I am now. What is thy business?”

— from The Quest for the Holy Grail (13th Century – Anonymous)

Anomalous phenomena require grounding in an everyday plot. The transitional matrix of experience, from expected to unknown, from known to unexpected, acts as a conduit between material truth and imaginal construct. From UFOs set against the lull of rural life to small town stories of spirits and cryptids, anomaly outlines itself against a mundane background.

A potent confluence of the real and the imagined is found in some of the best examples of classic ghost stories from the more masterful littérateurs of speculative fiction. Storytellers such as Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, and Rudyard Kipling each mixed their personal experiences, and also stories they heard told as truth while traveling abroad or mingling in society, into select short fiction, thus creating works of fiction that, if they were retold as fact, would cause some to question the sanity of the teller.

Then there are authors Charles Leland, William Seabrook, and John Keel: poetic entrepreneurs playing journalist in the nightside of nature, in whose works the boundary lines are thrown out altogether. For these writers, the separation between autobiography and imaginal exposition is absorbed into a holistic vision of high strangeness that is often as weird and otherworldly as the best of Blackwood while being struck through with zigzag currents and unconventionally mundane angles that open up an entirely different atmosphere. These stories are told with a straight face, a wink, and a great deal of crafting, but all separation between fact and fiction is made ignoble by the refusal of the storyteller to do anything but recollect the story. Much of the skill in such a story lies in the author’s seemingly affectless manner of presenting what he heard and saw, with the author locating himself as a mere transitional device that leaves a core of the event untouched.

Leland, Seabrook, and Keel all began as journalists, pursuing crooked career paths in which their professional training was an enhancing element in their work rather than a prime focus. Their jobs in journalism brought them in contact with a wide variety of people on odd assignments, and their willingness to listen allowed them to assemble stories that would have otherwise slipped into the anima mundi uncollected. In all cases the market played an eager hand in shaping the nature of the story in its final form. Literate ghost stories are carefully crafted pastorals, genteel corruptions of the vulgar imagination, whereas poetic journalists hard at the hunt fall victim to the borderland’s subtle snares, reporting back with will o’ the wisp whispers and hints of possibility.

The creative act is a complex interplay of accident and intention. For those who experience the aftermath, this is captured in obscure hints and hidden depths which emanate subtly from the resulting creation. For the creator, this interplay consists in an acceptance of immersion whose ultimate integrity exists in a willing acquiescence to the hungry mouth of the muse.

Perhaps you will get the greatest values if you accept the Devil as being what he claims himself to be, relying upon his message for whatever it may bring you that you can use, and not worrying as to who the Devil is or whether he exists.

If you want my honest personal opinion, I believe the Devil is exactly who he claims to be. Now let us analyze his strange confession.

– from Outwitting the Devil, Napoleon Hill (written 1938, first published 2011)

In 1938, after publishing Think and Grow Rich, the seminal self-help book that has maintained a top position on Businessweek’s best seller list for nearly 80 years, Napoleon Hill produced another book that proved too controversial to release. There are few things more outwardly mundane than the everyday machinations of the American corporate world, and yet at its mythical heart lies the same congruence of anomaly and unassuming facade that informed the work of a Keel or a Seabrook. And Hill’s unpublishable story is in fact an archetypal tale of a crossroads meeting with the devil himself.

Some posit that much of the fear about publishing Outwitting the Devil was due to the involvement of Hill’s wife in the Presbyterian church. Considering the direct manner in which he approaches his subject, this is unsurprising. He said Think and Grow Rich was created after he interviewed a host of successful entrepreneurs and business owners. Outwitting the Devil, however, sourced itself from an interview of a different sort. While many have found C.S. Lewis’s explorations of the diabolical realm in The Screwtape Letters a source of inspiration, Lewis’s well-known penchant for fiction allowed his book of infernal epistles to dance around any speculations about a possible literal reality that might stand behind them. By contrast, Hill’s encounter with the devil is not so easy to place or dismiss, nor does he even try to.

“Ah! Now I’ve done Philosophy,

I’ve finished Law and Medicine,

And sadly even Theology:

Taken fierce pains, from end to end.

Now here I am, a fool for sure!

No wiser than I was before:

Master, Doctor’s what they call me,

And I’ve been ten years, already,

Crosswise, arcing, to and fro,

Leading my students by the nose,

And see that we can know — nothing!”

— Faust, Act 1, Scene 1 (Lines 355-364), Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, trans. A.S. Kline

Hill’s story begins with his skipping town in Ohio, having become involved in a dispute between a local newspaper editor and corrupt town officials that left the editor dead. Eventually, he finds himself holed up in West Virginia with a pistol and a heavy case of paranoia, at a loss for what to do or where to go next. This is Hill’s dark night of the soul, and, in a strange Faustian twist, what he recounts next doesn’t quite mesh with the two-dimensional facade of positive thinking that has emerged around his name and memory in recent years.

In hiding and on the run, Hill takes a deep look at what he has been propagating with his success seminars, and he realizes that, if measured against his own teaching, he wouldn’t consider himself successful. Under pressure, this small crack in his persona starts to give way to greater doubts, until there arrives a crowning moment of catharsis in which Hill, desperate and unsure, summons the devil. Addressing him as “Your Majesty,” Hill proceeds to investigate the roots of practical philosophy in a book length Q & A with Old Nick. If you want to fix a problem, go straight to the source, and so there’s no better way to understand how to overcome adversity than by having a direct conversation with the Adversary itself.

For an author who has fostered such a socially conservative legacy, Hill’s discoveries, and their manner of revelation, are a bit unorthodox. Think and Grow Rich hints at its esoteric background if one pays attention to the sections on transmuting sexual energy and utilizing intuition or the sixth sense to assess potential outcomes and contact discarnate mentors. However, if Think and Grow Rich is an introductory pamphlet, then Outwitting the Devil is the full instructional manual. With the devil as instructor, Hill doesn’t dull the argument in hopes of courting polite discourse.

When Outwitting the Devil intially came to my notice, I had only recently realized that Hill was tapping into deeper streams than I had previously assumed, so I sent out a request for any professionals who were influenced by Hill to tell me how the more esoteric end of his philosophies of success, the sexual alchemy and psychism, sat with their interpretation of his work.

Nathan Vanderploeg Director of CapitalWise Educational Services, commented that “It’s an astounding statement for Napoleon Hill to say that the chief, major reason most people don’t succeed before they’re forty, out of all the thousands of possible reasons, is over-indulgence in physical expression (or pursuit of physical expression) of the emotion of sex. But in my own life, I am 100% convinced that its the major reason I too have not yet achieved the level of success I want! Major takeaways: We need to balance our chasing women with channeling our sexual drives into business.” As a 25-year-old professional, Vanderploeg found this lesson hit home, and its insight helped him to realign his priorities.

Another youthful entrepreneur, Louis Lautman, founder of The Young Entrepreneur Society, wrote to me and said he credits Hill with everything that he has done.

Finding inspiration in one of the more direct pieces of advice in Hill’s methodology, Christopher H. Kilcullen, director of franchise sales and development for Wyndham Worldwide, said, “There are so many principles in this book that I have applied to my life but none more important than auto-suggestion. ‘When you intentionally think about, repeat and affirm your ideals, you are planting the seeds that will grow to bear fruit. ‘” Kilcullen feels that Hill’s practical advice is the key to his current entrepreneurial endeavors with a start-up he’s working on called AmericasGotProduct.com, which focuses on recommitting consumers to buying domestically produced commodities and products.

Steve Mancina, a marketing and communications advisor, had a similar takeaway, reflecting that he “was 19 years old, when my employer at the time, Eleanore Carson, who still remains a dear friend, gave me her copy of this book. I am now 45. I have read and re-read the book. In general, I find the greatest value to Hill’s philosophy to be the measured disciplined approach to completing a task. Any task. Big or small.”

“Outwitting the Devil is a strange confession from one of the founding father’s of America’s philosophy of self-determination. Napoleon Hill’s hidden masterpiece summons the devil into the mundane world, and is all the more strange and wonderful for its down-to earth-dealings with Old Scratch.”

My initial query, however, dealt with the more abstract intimations that float around Hill’s work, and it seems that even with over 70 years as a best seller, the stranger aspects of Think and Grow Rich remain obscure even to those who have found what they consider success by putting its advice to work. It wasn’t until I received a response from Matthew Joyce, a counselor and business professional out of Boulder, Colorado, that I found someone who had touched on the full potential of Hill’s work. His response is worth quoting at length:

I often use what Napoleon Hill calls the sixth sense or the creative imagination, although I don’t often tell my clients that I am doing so. You never know who might be skeptical or challenged by such ideas. Fortunately no one seems to challenge the positive results of the process.

My method is a slightly different from Hill’s since I developed it prior to reading his ideas about sexual sublimation/transmutation. To me the real gist of that chapter is that the creative imagination functions best when the mind is vibrating (due to some form of mind stimulation) at an exceedingly high rate. The actual sexual urges or desires to channel the creative impulse into procreation are of relatively little account in my method, but I think Hill made some good points about them. To me the primary focus is shifting the mind to the higher rate of functioning which gives me access to information beyond that available from my physical senses or my conscious mind.

When I work I shift my awareness into a higher state of consciousness with an activating thought. I’ve been doing it so long now that it only takes a single breath to make the switch in consciousness. Moreover, I now maintain a dual awareness of normal consciousness while engaging my higher creative imagination. This means that I switch back and forth while on the phone with the client or in meetings without them noticing.

Where I go in consciousness and what I do after that shift depends upon the circumstances. Sometimes I use it solve problems, posing the question and then reaching out for the answer which appears from the ether. Other times I use it to access new creative ideas for products or strategies or to glance into the future for scenario planning. Its also helpful when I am not sure what to say next. In those cases I open myself up and just allow the ideas to flow. The right thing to say always seems to emerge, be they questions to ask the client, comments about the present situation, or even impromptu speeches I need to give.

In the transmission of esoteric teachings it’s common to discuss the difference between oral and written instruction. With alchemical practice, tantra, Kabbalah, and other forms of study that involve an intermixing of cosmology, metaphysics, philosophy, and practice, it is often the oral teaching that acts as a key to the textual base. Without this key all the reader is left with is a disconnected symbolic puzzle that reflects biases rather than reveals truth. What Joyce has that none of the other respondents have is the oral key, because Joyce, unlike the others, was trained at The Monroe Institute. (For an in-depth interview that I conducted with Joyce regarding his practice, see “Manifestation & the Mind, or the Practical Utility of Astral Awareness.”)

The Monroe Institute was founded by Robert Monroe, whose pioneering work Journeys Out of the Body popularized the concept of out-of-body experiences when it was published in 1971. What’s interesting is that, beyond his role as a seminal psychonaut, Monroe was a successful businessman and millionaire who developed the first cable television service in the state of Virginia. In a way he is a direct example of Hill’s theories in practice, and this goes beyond the basic advice about self-affirmation and extends into the strange intermixing of influences that flows through Hill’s oeuvre.

Satan is the spirit of caution, prudence, and when perverted, negation. At his door are laid the sins of omission. Few realize that man is responsible for the things he has not done. That is part of the law. It is just as wrong not to do the right things as it is to do the wrong thing. Satan inhibits, he draws back, he holds aloof.

— Manly P Hall, Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics

The key is natural philosophy, a concept of rhythm, harmony, and balance that has been lost in the contemporary world. Or at least that’s what the devil has to say about it, and Hill pulls no punches in directing his attention at all the social institutions that he sees fostering this imbalance. Outwitting the Devil contains the usual tropes of right living, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes, and all that, but Hills goes further than this by laying blame for modern-day spiritual desolation on the school system, business owners, and mass media that provide the developmental focus for society.

A young Napoleon Hill

What I find most fascinating about this work is that instead of falling into some of the Orientalist meanderings that were so popular at the time, and rather than creating some allegorical extravaganza, Hill uses one of the most basic stories from Western culture, a pact with the devil, to express his views. Moreover, he does it in such a way that it seems as natural as pouring a cup of coffee in the morning. There is not hint of phantasmagoric flights, barbaric names, sigils, circles, or any of the ritual accoutrements that have come to surround such meetings in popular accounts. Instead, the story unfolds as succinctly and straightforwardly as a farmer recounting a folksy anecdote, remaining practical throughout.

What keeps us away from success? The devil, as Hill relates it, marks fear and doubt as the central cause of most of our problems. These tendencies keep us from staying on the straight path, distract us from accomplishing our goals, cause us to look away from impending problems, and hide our inner turmoils from the kind of clear view that could rectify them. Rather than staying focused, our attention wanders because we doubt where we are going. In this teaching we are presented with a practical ethics no different from what the adept Manly P. Hall outlines in his treatise on esoteric ethics. Even the nature of the devil stays the same.

Outwitting the Devil is a strange confession from one of the founding father’s of America’s philosophy of self-determination. Far removed from the fictions of someone like Algernon Blackwood, assuming none of the esoteric or Fortean overtones of poetic journalists like John Keel, Napoleon Hill’s hidden masterpiece summons the devil into the mundane world, and is all the more strange and wonderful for its down-to earth-dealings with Old Scratch.

So the next time you’re faced with a crisis, consider heading on down to the lonely crossroads. Wait there for awhile, and see if you don’t find yourself face-to-face with a solution from an unlikely source. Maybe it will be a UFO. Maybe it will be spirit. Maybe it will be the devil himself. Or maybe the very time alone will be enough to seed some solace.

The Bishop Fish and Sea Monk are two 15th and 16th-Century European cryptids - a cryptid is a legendary monster that has "confirmed" sightings, as opposed to a creature tied to myth. For example, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Mothman are cryptids, whereas the Manticore, the Hydra, and the Phoenix would be considered mythical creatures. The Bishop Fish arises from a segment of Roman Catholic thought surmising that all the creatures and people on land and in the air should logically have counterparts undersea. And thus, it was only logical that the Gospel could spread to the people under the sea, be they fish, mermaids, or whatever else. Thus, the mentality existed of something like an undersea bishop long before one was sighted. An example of the idea comes from Guillaume du Bartas's poem, La Sepmaine; ou, Creation du monde:

"Seas have (as well as skies) Sun, Moon, and Stars;

(As well as ayre) Swallows, and Rooks, and Stares;

(As well as earth) Vines, Roses, Nettles, Millions,

Pinks, Gilliflowers, Mushrooms, and many millions

of other Plants lants (more rare and strange than these)

As very fishes living in the Seas.

And also Rams, Calfs, Horses, Hares, and Hogs,

Wolves, Lions, Urchins, Elephants and Dogs,

Yea, Men and Mayds; and (which I more admire)

The mytred Bishop and the cowled Fryer;

Whereof, examples, (but a few years since)

Were shew'n the Norways, and Polonian Prince."

The first Bishop Fish story comes from 1187, and is descrived in Stowe's Annals as a fish shaped like a man with a bishop's mitre'd cap. It was kept by Barlemew de Glanville in the castle of Orfode for six months, ate other fish, and escaped into the sea one night when it was not being watched. It was occasionally brought to the church, but did not make any special gestures.

The most famous Bishop Fish was caught in 1433 by fishermen in the Baltic Sea. Because of the odd, pointed appearance of its head, the fishermen assumed that it was indeed an undersea bishop and gave it as tribute to the King of Poland. Soon after, a group of bishops received an audience with the king and got to view the creature. Supposedly, it communicated with holy hand gestures until the bishops were convinced that it was indeed a fellow clergyman, and they thus convinced the king to return the Bishop Fish to the sea. Once released, it purportedly made the sign of the cross before swimming away.

A second story comes from Germany in 1531, where fishermen caught another Bishop Fish off the German coast. The creature refused to eat and died in captivity after three days. A similar story rose up off the British Atlantic later, though there is no consistent date included with this one, and it may just be a retelling of the German story.

Current theories state that the Bishop Fish may have been a deformed manta ray, as its fins would resemble the billowing "cape" the fish was claimed to have. Some cryptozoologists believe that it was a monkfish (the lophius, not the legendary sea monk). It superficially resembles the Jenny Haniver, a hoax creature often constructed from the dried-out corpse of a skate.

The Sea Monk is very similar to the Bishop Fish. In following the same belief, if there were bishops under the sea, there would have to be monks as well. Another was found off the eastern coast of Zealand (the Danish island, not New Zealand) in 1546. The accounts' descriptions of the Sea Monk was detailed enough to provide a fairly consistent imagery for it, including a "robe" that superficially resembles multiple tendrils.

Since the 19th Century, scholarship has identified the Sea Monk as most likely being a squid. Janus Steenstrup famously compared traditional illustrations of the Monk with a squid captured and preserved in 1853. Other theories state that it could have been an angel shark, a hooded seal, or the eponymous monkfish.

Both creatures have a place in popular culture. The Bishop and monk have been illustrated in numerous zoological guides between the 16th and 19th century, and are studied often in cryptozoological circles, often in comparison to other similar creatures such as Japan's Umi-Bozu "sea monk."

In 1992, a rubber figure of the Bishop Fish was produced for the Monster in my Pocket toy line. It resembled a more "monsterized" version of the Bishop Fish's traditional depiction, and the backstory included with its trading card was mostly accurate, albeit with the additional claim that if you catch a Bishop Fish, it will "protect" you. The line also included a Jenny Haniver, though it did not resemble the Bishop Fish at all.

In 2006, another Bishop Fish was released in the new, "revived" Monster in my Pocket toy line. Unfortunately, this figure did not resemble the traditional Bishop Fish at all, instead resembling a fat, slovenly mer-man. The information on its trading card was also completely inaccurate, claiming that it was named after the chess piece, lives in the China sea, and causes storms and hurricanes. The 2006 series also included an equally-inaccurate Jenny Haniver.

In 2002, small figures of both the Sea Monk and Bishop Fish were released in the Demon's Chronicle line by Yanoman. Demon's Chronicle is a Japanese line that depicts western mythological creatures, most often angels and demons, and produces figures meant to be used as substitute chess pieces. Both are exact reproductions of their depiction in the 1862 Book of Days, although those are copies of older 16th century artwork. For example, the Bishop Fish's appearance in the Book of Days resembles Richard Breton's artwork from 1562. Strangely, both creatures are misnamed in Demon's Chronicle - the Bishop Fish is labeled as Dagon while the Sea Monk is labeled as the sea serpent Rahab. The reason for this misappropriation is unknown, as other Demon's Chronicle figures, even obscure ones such as the Succarath, are properly labeled.

"Black Shuck, Old Shuck, Old Shock or simply Shuck is the name given to a ghostly black dog which is said to roam the coastline and countryside of East Anglia. Accounts of the animal form part of the folklore of Norfolk, Suffolk, the Cambridgeshire fens and Essex

Its alleged appearance in 1577 at Bungay and Blythburgh is a particularly famous account of the beast, and images of black sinister dogs have become part of the iconography of the area and have appeared in popular culture.

¿El cuero?;¿Nahuelito?

San Carlos de Bariloche, departamento Bariloche, ubicada en el extremo suroeste de la provincia de Río Negro, en la región patagónica de ARGENTINA.

¿Qué ser se encontraba en las aguas del Nahuel Huapi cuando se tomó esta fotografía?...

Confirmo que es un ser muy extraño, único...

Es que soy yo, nadando... jejeje.

NAHUELITO:

es una supuesta criatura acuática desconocida que según la creencia popular vive en este lago.

Al igual que Nessie, su hermano escocés, recibe su nombre de la masa de agua que supuestamente habita, aunque su existencia nunca ha sido confirmada a pesar de las búsquedas sistemáticas realizadas.

La leyenda es muy conocida en el país y es una referencia en libros y artículos clásicos de criptozoología.

Su origen se remonta a relatos indígenas previos a la conquista.

Los primeros exploradores obtuvieron de los nativos del lugar leyendas acerca de encuentros ocasionales con monstruos acuáticos.

A partir de 1897, el Dr. Clemente Onelli, director del zoológico de Buenos Aires, comienza a recibir informes esporádicos acerca de una posible extraña criatura habitante de los lagos patagónicos.

El primer posible avistamiento registrado data de 1910, aunque George Garret, su protagonista, lo hizo público mucho tiempo después.

En 1910 Garret trabajaba en una compañía ubicada cerca del Nahuel Huapi.

Un día de ese año, luego de navegar por el lago y a punto de desembarcar, pudo avistar a unos 400 m de distancia una criatura cuya parte visible medía entre 5 y 7 m de largo y sobresalía unos dos metros por encima del agua.

Al comentar su experiencia con gente del lugar, Garret se entera de historias similares relatadas por los indígenas.

Pero el hecho se hace público recién en 1922, cuando lo cuenta al diario Toronto Globe.

En esos días se organizaba la primera expedición para buscar a Nahuelito y la controversia estaba en su punto máximo, llegando a la prensa internacional, ya entonces, la descripción del supuesto animal era muy semejante a la de un plesiosaurio.

En 1922 el Dr. Onelli recibe el testimonio de Martin Sheffield, un buscador de oro norteamericano, acerca de un supuesto rastro de grandes huellas en la orilla del lago Nahuel Huapi.

En el centro del mismo Sheffield igualmente afirmaba haber visto un enorme animal desconocido.

Convencido por el informe de Sheffield, Onelli decide organizar una expedición de búsqueda.

La misma fue liderada por el superintendente del zoológico, José Chiagi, y entre los participantes había reconocidos cazadores armados con rifles para cazar elefantes y dinamita para minar el lago.

La gente reaccionó negativamente ante la participación de cazadores, y el Dr. Albarracín, Presidente de la Asociación Protectora de Animales, le solicitó al Ministro del Interior que revocara la autorización para la búsqueda.

Finalmente se resolvió el tema del permiso y la expedición siguió adelante, pero sin embargo regresó a Buenos Aires, obviamente sin resultados positivos.

La historia tuvo repercusión internacional, llegando a ser comentada en publicaciones como la revista Scientific American.

Más recientemente, en febrero de 1960, se dice que la Armada Argentina persiguió en el lago un objeto submarino no identificado durante 18 días, sin conseguir identificarlo; a lo cual algunas personas lo relacionaron con esta supuesta criatura.

El crecimiento como destino turístico de la ciudad de Bariloche, situada a orillas del Nahuel Huapi, aumentó los supuestos avistamientos ocasionales, al igual que lo que sucede en el lago Ness; pero nunca se ha obtenido un registro gráfico realmente concluyente.

En 1988 se publicaron fotos del Nahuelito en un diario local.

Las fotos fueron tomadas a corta distancia con una cámara no digital y el objeto se encontraba cerca de la costa de la turística Bariloche, situada sobre el Nahuel Huapi, uno de los mayores centros de atracción turística del país.

"No es un tronco de formas caprichosas. No es una ola. El Nahuelito mostró la cara. Lago Nahuel Huapi, sábado 15 de abril, a las 9 horas. No doy mis datos para evitarme futuras molestias", dijo el hombre en una misiva que dejó junto a las fotos.

EL SUEIRO:

Entre los antiguos pobladores de la región del Nahuel Huapi era frecuente el rumor de la existencia de un monstruo al que llamaban "El Sueiro" que es difícilmente descripto ya que decían que "sale de los lagos de noche, posee el cuerpo del tamaño de una vaca y deja huellas como de un pato gigante", también afirmaban que el tal supuesto monstruo es carnívoro, alimentándose muchas veces de las vacas.

Aunque tales rumores más parecen una elaboración criolla del referido mito mapuche de "El Cuero".

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

LEYENDAS "MAPUCHE - CHILOTAS"

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

EL CUERO:

El cuero, también conocido con el nombre de cuero del agua, manta o manta del Diablo, es un animal acuático de la mitología mapuche y posteriormente incluido en la mitología del sur de Chile y de Argentina, y en particular en la mitología chilota.

Esta criatura tendría una apariencia muy similar al de un cuero de vacuno extendido de gran tamaño.

En el borde de su cuerpo poseería unos apéndices similares a unas garras o espinas filosas como garfios.

Sobre un extremo de su cuerpo, en donde se cree estaría la zona que correspondería a su cabeza, sobresaldrían dos apéndices similares a tentáculos que terminarían en un par de ojos desorbitados de un color rojizo.

En el centro de la parte de abajo de su cuerpo, estaría su boca, muy parecida a una enorme ventosa, con la cual podría absorber completamente los fluidos de su presa, hasta dejarla seca y muerta.

Debido a su cuerpo aplanado, algunas personas lo asocian con una criatura semejante a una mantarraya.

Las leyendas cuentan que estas criaturas estarían habitando en numerosos lagos, lagunas y ríos de los territorios del sur de la Argentina y de Chile, y en menor medida en su cercano mar.

En aquellos lugares, como el caso del archipiélago de Chiloé, se cuenta que atacaría principalmente presas animales y en menor medida a seres humanos y embarcaciones pequeñas.

Sus ataques serían más frecuentes al atardecer, acercándose de manera sigilosa a su presa; que puede estar en la orilla, o bien bebiendo o bañándose en el agua, o dentro de una embarcación.

Se dice que luego de estar lo suficientemente cerca, con sus poderes hipnotizaría a su víctima; y posteriormente mediante sus afiladas uñas atraparía a su víctima o a la embarcación y la arrastraría hacia al fondo.

Ya en el fondo, envolvería rápidamente a su presa y la mataría por sofocamiento; y ahí la devoraría absorbiéndole completamente la sangre y otros fluidos.

Para lograr poder matar a un cuero, se necesitaría la ayuda de una Machi experta, la cual con sus habilidades atraería al cuero hacia la orilla.

Al tenerlo ya a la vista, lo engañaría arrojándole ramas de calafate.

El Cuero, engañado por el poder de la Machi, creería que las ramas serían una posible presa; sin embargo, al atacar y apretar con fuerza las ramas, las espinas de las ramas se enterrarían en su cuerpo y el cuero se desgarraría y sangraría hasta morir.

Debido a sus características, el Cuero suele ser a veces confundido con "El Guirivilo".

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

EL GUIRIVILO:

o cuchivilu (del castellano dialectal cuchi: cerdo y del mapudungún filu: culebra), es un animal acuático fantástico de la mitología chilota.

Se le atribuyen los destrozos que se producen en los corrales de pesca (un método tradicional de pesca de Chiloé, abandonado en la década de 1980 por disposiciones legales).

es una criatura del tamaño de un gran cánido, que se presenta como un ser con cabeza de zorro.

Pero con el cuerpo largo, similar a una culebra (incluso con escamas, aletas similar a una Serpiente marina).

Y una gran y larga cola de zorro que tiene en su extremo unas uñas, que utiliza como garra, y con la cual produce también torbellinos.

Según las leyendas, el Guirivilo es un tipo de " Zorro de agua" de fuerza descomunal que habita en los remansos intensivos de los ríos y en aguas cenagosas.

Se dice que utiliza su extraña y gran cola con uñas, como una garra para enredar a hombres y animales que se bañan en sus aguas, con el fin de arrastrarlos al fondo para alimentarse de los ahogados.

Esta criatura hace que el nivel del agua baje, para animar a gente que intente cruzarlo que lo hace se parecen seguras; e igualmente sería la causa de los torbellinos peligrosos que matan a las personas que intentan cruzar los ríos.

No suele salir a la tierra, ya que este cambio provoca terribles temblores en su cuerpo, como si estuviera sintiendo un gran frío.

Se dice que la única manera segura de cruzar un río en el cual viva un Guirivilo es en una embarcación.

Pero si se desea que el Guirivilo, deje de vivir en ese lugar, la persona debe conseguir una buena Machi, o un Calcu que acepte ayudar.

Si es un Calcu, a este deben ser ofrecidos regalos a cambio del servicio del retiro de Guirivilo.

La Machi o Calcu realizaría una ceremonia que consiste en caminar a través del río hasta que alcance el torbellino, luego de lo cual se zambulle.

Posteriormente nadaría luego a la superficie, y traería capturado al Guirivilo mediante sus capacidades mágicas.

Ya atrapado en la superficie, la Machi o el Calcu procedería a amenazar a la criatura con un cuchillo, diciéndole que lo va a mutilar si sigue dañando a otras personas que intenten cruzar o bañarse en ese sitio.

Luego de la amenaza, lanzaría al Guirivilo nuevamente dentro del agua; y el torbellino o los torbellinos se contraerían y después desaparecerían.

Se dice que luego de la ceremonia, la gente vería que el nivel del agua baja, haciendo que el bañarse o el cruzar el río o estero sea más fácil.

Igualmente se dice que la criatura se mudaría a otra parte, para atormentar probablemente a la gente río o estero abajo, o en otro diferente.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

EL TREHUACO:

Su nombre se origina del idioma mapudungún, donde trewa es: "perro" y ko:"agua".

Es un animal fantástico del agua presente en la mitología chilota, descrito como un bello animal, de firme musculatura, extraordinaria fuerza, y un gran y negro pelaje con una apariencia muy similar a la de un gran perro.

Según la leyenda, se dice que en Chiloé, en las cercanías de Yaldad, existe una laguna encantada; en la cual habitaría esta criatura.

Se cree que si una mujer se acerca a esta laguna y recita ciertos versos mágicos, hará que las aguas de la laguna se alejaran hacia el mar, de la misma forma que si fuera un río; y en el momento de secarse la laguna, en el centro de lo que era la laguna, aparecerá el Trehuaco.

Luego si la mujer lo llama, este se acercará rápidamente hacia ella; y en ese momento comenzaran a tener una relación sexual.

Posteriormente, ya cumplido el deseo de la mujer, y ya satisfecho el Trehuaco; la criatura se volverá al centro de la laguna.

Estando ya en el centro, comenzara a lanzar roncos aullidos, haciendo que las aguas nuevamente retornen a la laguna y así volverá a desaparecer en las profundidades de la laguna; hasta que una mujer lo llame nuevamente para cumplir sus deseos amorosos.

En el caso de la mujer, se dice que luego de que el Trehuaco desaparece ella se quedara dormida, y posteriormente despertará al lado de la puerta de su casa. También se cree que si alguna persona sorprende a la inusual pareja, el Trehuaco desaparecerá inmediatamente; y la mujer quedará con una gran melancolía, que le durara por mucho tiempo.

It's nice to see the interview with me and my co-editors Wyatt Doyle and Dave Coleman about our CRYPTOZOOLOGY ANTHOLOGY on the Huffington Post. Online here -> www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-bishop/cryptozoology-fantasti...

created with Dreamwombo AI

the prompt for a series remained the same (part of it):

perfect closeup ultra detailed smiling Baroque compound vampire ghost slaanesh made out of luminous dust at foggy night, cryptid taxidermy, Bogomil's Universe, made of liquid dust,sparkling reflections,by Susan Seddon Boulet, h.r. giger vlaho bukovac, leonardo da vinci, Donald Southam Lawrence, Rolf Armstrong, Simon Bisley

Cannonsburgh Village is a collection of historic structures from the Rutherford County area moved to this spot as part of America's Bicentennial in 1976. Cannonsburgh is the original name of Murfreesboro.

The Money Woman bridge was originally west of Smyrna where an old alignment of Almaville Road crossed Stewart's Creek. The old one lane iron bridge with a wooden driving surface was quite inadequate when it was replaced and removed in the 1970s, at just the right time to be placed at this new village.

But why is it called the Monkey Woman bridge?

Back in the 1950's, there was an urban legend which became quite popular regarding the area around this bridge, including a nearby cemetery. Many people claimed to see a half-woman, half-monkey in this area.

The story was given more credibility when local journalist Ed Bell stopped on the bridge one night to look at the creek. According to his story, the Monkey Woman jumped on the hood of his car!

The legend has survived for many decades. A friend who lived in the area told me how the replacement bridge which is now on One Mile Lane is still called the Monkey Woman Bridge. He and his friends would sometimes hang out there on Halloween night, until they got scared and ran home.

I'm not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't believe about this story. However, the crew who dug up this old bridge to have it moved here apparently also found some remains.

Check out my video of this bridge and Cannonsburgh Village here: youtu.be/3aMSDLB7Vls

Back in 2020 I painted this vest with great big cute mothman cryptid (Yes, I live nearby to where the mothman legend came about.) and a parade of Fresno Nightcrawlers around the bottom edge. Sadly, I don’t really wear it as I typically like my vests cropped above my big stupid butt. I have some more ideas of additional things to add to it. My brain is bubbling over with creative ideas because I am not able to sit down and work on them. I forgot how much fun I had making this vest. Here’s to me staying motivated through this busier time so when winter comes around I am able to actually bring these tenuous ideas to fruition.

The Anima Arcanum found in the high passes of the First Great Chain mountains are barely understood. Once acquired and taken as samples they may shift their positions, almost imperceptibly until the form seen in great Museums of Lysandria City is far removed from what was seen on the cliff face. On at least three occasions a Pioneer and her Apprentice were able to stabilize a Lapis Natator that had completely separated from its native rocky matrix. Although for reasons no one understood, such samples always vanished from their containers before reaching the city.
