From the files of Monster Island News - December 2008 Written By Ken Hulsey It seems there's a shortage of male Bigfoot (known locally as Almasty) in Russia, and the females of the species have been seeking human companions. In the northern Caucasus town of Elbrus, residents have reported an unusual number of Almasty sightings, mostly encounters with flirtatious females, typically by local men. In fact, it's a very common occurrence to spot the legendary creature around the town itself, with every resident claiming to have seen the Almasty at least once.

August 29, 2010 - London Colony, United Kingdom On the evening of Sunday, August 29th, a man in London Colney reported seeing some peculiar lights in the sky above St Albans around 10:15 pm. He observed more than 10 fast-moving objects traveling in a straight line, which he did not believe were Chinese lanterns, as they were moving at a high speed. Around the same time, Rob Stichbury, who lives in the Roundwood Park area of Harpenden, saw a similar bright object moving extremely fast from the direction of St Albans/Redbourn. Stichbury said the object seemed to be following the path of the Nicky Line and disappeared towards Luton Airport in less than 15 seconds, noting it was too large, bright, and fast-moving to be a commercial plane.

 Written By Ken Hulsey In the summer of 2008, I developed a strong interest in the UFO phenomenon and began collecting reports of possible sightings from around the world. I published several articles about these alleged encounters, which drew significant attention. Many witnesses contacted me personally, and I shared their stories with my readers. The reports poured in from eyewitnesses and news outlets globally. During the period from summer 2008 to summer 2010, there were numerous credible sightings by individuals who reported seeing the same objects in the sky, despite being thousands of miles apart. The most intriguing of these came from the UK in November and December 2008, when sighting reports were received almost daily. I believe this collection of sightings will be quite thought-provoking for you.

Written By: Ken Hulsey As a child growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I heard the haunting tale of the Ditch Witch, also known as La Llorona or The Weeping Woman, recounted around campfires and during sleepovers countless times. While the details varied, the core narrative remained the same - a young mother who, scorned by her lover, tragically drowned her own children. Now eternally cursed, the woman's spirit wanders the banks of the Rio Grande, forever lamenting and searching for her lost offspring.

10. A UFO Shoots Down Air Force Fighter Over Kentucky In the late 1940s reports of UFO sightings across the United States were at an all-time high after the reported sighting of nine flying saucers over the Cascade Mountains of Washington and the reported crash of a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico. Though UFO reports from that era were rather benign, simply sightings of strange objects in the sky, on the afternoon of January 7th, 1948, things would take a possibly sinister, and fatal turn. Shortly after noon on that fateful afternoon many witnesses in western Kentucky sighted a large unidentified craft, between 250 and 300 feet in diameter souring above them at a fantastic speed.

  Brookhill Ferry Shipwreck Site in Baton Rouge, Louisiana The lack of rain in the South and Midwest over the past several months have resulted in the depths of Mississippi River reaching record low levels. Due to these unusually low water levels so really interesting things are being discovered in areas that are generally under water. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana the shipwreck of an over one hundred year old ferry has recently been discovered. The now exposed wreckage is believed to be of the Brookhill Ferry that used to transport people and horse-drawn carriages across the Mississippi River in the late 1800s and early 1900s before any bridge in the area ever existed. According to newspaper records the ship went down in a severe storm way back in June of 1906.
