All language subtitles for The UnXplained s06e10 Monsters Among Us.eng

A demon
born in the dead of night.

An insatiable monster
hiding in the ocean's depths.

And a violent swamp beast

terrorizing an entire town.

Since the dawn of humanity,
tales of monstrous creatures

lurking in the shadows
of our world

have sparked both
fascination and fear.

Today, we often dismiss
these accounts as the stuff

of myth and legend,

but are we overlooking a
potentially terrifying reality?

With scientists discovering

as many as 18,000 new
animal species every year...

isn't it conceivable
that there could be real-life

flesh and blood monsters

living among us?

Well, that is what
we'll try and find out.

In southern New Jersey,
a vast sea of trees

stretches as far
as the eye can see.

Below the dense canopy of these
woods lies a primeval world

filled with ominous
sights and sounds

that are shrouded
by dark undergrowth.

This foreboding wilderness
is known

as the Pine Barrens.

The Pine Barrens is basically
a million acres of woodland

in the southern tip
of New Jersey.

You can essentially get lost
in the Pine Barrens

and never be seen again

because they are just so vast.

At nighttime, you can hear
animals crunching all around.

But the problem is you can't
see where these things are.

It's a terrifying place.

And it's very, very scary,

especially if you're
lost there by yourself.

The Pine Barrens is
home to over 500 animal species.

But according to locals,
there is one creature

said to dwell here that has
yet to be officially identified.

It's a grotesque, winged
monster that is known

as the Jersey Devil.

The New Jersey Devil
legend is ingrained

into the state of
New Jersey so much.

It's something that every kid
hears when they're growing up.

The Jersey Devil's
gonna come and get you.

One of the most famous
aspects of the Jersey Devil

is its horrific screech or roar.

If you hear something
like that in the Pine Barrens,

you run.

The Jersey Devil
looks like it should have come out

of Dr. Frankenstein's lab.

It's a hodgepodge
of animal parts.

It has a horse's head
with horns growing out of it,

a long dragon or kangaroo body,

ending in thin, long
bird legs and hooves,

a forked tail on its back.

It has giant leather
bat-like wings on its back.

If you were to describe
something out of a nightmare,

the Jersey Devil would
be that description.

Could a winged abomination

really lurk somewhere
in the Pine Barrens?

Perhaps clues can be found
by examining the origin story

of this fearsome monster
that has been spoken of

in local lore for
more than 250 years.

As the story goes, in 1735,

inside a small house in
Leeds Point, New Jersey,

a woman gave birth to
her unlucky 13th child.

And when it was born,
it became a monster.

According to tradition,
the Jersey Devil

is actually the 13th child

of a woman known
as Mother Leeds.

And she is on record
as having 12 children.

So, the story that we get
is that, when Mother Leeds

was giving birth to this
purported 13th child,

she apparently, legend says,

cried out, "The devil
can take this one."

And she initially gave birth

to a healthy, happy baby boy,

who almost
immediately transformed

into this demon-like creature.

Some stories say that
Mother Leeds was killed

after the baby was
born, by the baby.

Other stories just say
he flew up the chimney

and into the Pine Barrens.

Skeptics are quick
to dismiss the story of a devil

born of human flesh, but
after this alleged event,

entirely new tales
of the monster

started to surface
in South Jersey.

In the early 1800s,

a military officer
of great distinction

was said to have had
a firsthand encounter

with the Jersey Devil.

The Jersey Devil has
had run-ins with many

famous people over the years,

such as Commodore
Stephen Decatur.

He was a famous naval war hero,

and he came across
the Jersey Devil

flying overhead.

He fired a cannon
at the Jersey Devil.

And, according to
some eyewitnesses,

he shot a hole through
one of its wings,

but it just flew away like
nothing had happened.

Naval Commodore
Stephen Decatur spoke openly about this.

So, when a prominent
person comes forward to say,

"No, absolutely, I saw this,
you know, strange horse-faced,

winged, dragon-like creature,
and I shot a cannonball at it,"

that impresses itself upon
us in a way that kind of says,

"Wait a minute, okay."

The pattern of belief
here is so consistent.

By the turn of the
20th century, belief in the existence

of the Jersey Devil had
long been part of local culture.

But then, during the
week of January 16, 1909,

an unprecedented avalanche
of Jersey Devil sightings

surfaced in the
numerous communities

bordering the Pine Barrens.

And for the first time, this
demonic creature terrified

not just the residents
of New Jersey

but also newspaper readers
across the United States.

1909 is really a key year

for the Jersey Devil story

because what we see happen

is really what amounts to

just an absolute panic.

There starts to be report

after report after report

of people encountering
the Jersey Devil,

shooting at it...

seeing its hoofprints on
top of their chicken coops

and their farm buildings.

People are sheltering in place

because of the Jersey Devil.

One of the more
dramatic sightings involved

a trolley car in Haddon
Heights, New Jersey

that was allegedly
dive-bombed by the creature.

When accounts of these
Jersey Devil sightings

and attacks surfaced
in local newspapers,

it actually caused
mass hysteria.

Local businesses and
schools were shut down.

The Philadelphia Zoo
offered a reward of $10,000

for the creature's capture,

and vigilance committees
and posses were formed

to hunt the creature.

I do think because
of the sheer amounts of accounts

that happened in 1909,

of course some of them are
not gonna be true. Absolutely.

But the fact that so
many of them happened,

I really believe that
there were some

actual Jersey Devil
encounters during this time.

The panic of 1909

immortalized the Jersey Devil

in both national
and local history.

But curiously, Native
American lore suggests

that the origins of this
Pine Barrens monster

may actually go back much
further into the distant past.

In this part of the world,
before the arrival of colonists,

the tribes that lived
here were the Lenape,

and they referred to this part
of the world... the Pine Barrens

of what is now New Jersey...
As "the place of the dragon."

So, the presence of a creature

in this place of the dragon

has been recorded
long into the past.

We really do see two
different cultural understandings

of this place coming together

in the idea that
there's a creature here

that maybe looks a
little bit like a dragon.

Whether or not you believe

the Jersey Devil
theories or legends,

he existed well before
any of that stuff existed,

and it's a big part
of the state's identity.

The Pine Barrens is
such a huge, vast place

that, absolutely, a
creature can live there

and not ever be seen by anyone

for the rest of
their entire lives,

which kind of leads
credence to the theory that

this creature does exist.

733.

This small town near the
eastern border of Texas

appears similar to
hundreds of other

rural communities in the region.

A single highway
cuts through town,

which is surrounded
by vast woods,

creeks,

and acres of
mosquito-ridden swampland.

Fouke, Arkansas is
thousands of acres

of very swampy area.

And within that,

there is plenty of
places that creatures

could find seclusion
and could easily survive.

The woods and the swampy bottoms

are just so thick that

they could travel
through these woods

and not be seen,
very much, if at all.

This rugged
landscape is teeming with wildlife,

but according to locals,

there is a massive,
monstrous creature

that stands out from all others,

because it bears an
uncanny resemblance

to a human.

They call it the Fouke Monster.

By physical description,

the Fouke Monster...

It's very large...
Seven to ten feet tall,

very thick, long,
matted-down hair,

usually dark brown
or a reddish tint.

It's a biped walking and
running upright on its hind legs.

The creature is often known

to elicit a frightening howl.

It's often said

to have a very
terrible, rank odor.

It's said to be
similar to a Bigfoot,

yet more scraggly,

more rugged looking,

and witnesses often have a very

emotional reaction because
of the fear of this creature.

It's estimated
that there have been hundreds

of sightings of the
Fouke Monster,

dating back to the 1800s.

And locals are convinced

that tangible evidence
of the beast exists.

Over the years, people have
made numerous plaster casts

of unusually large footprints

said to have been left
by the massive creature.

Today, many of
them are preserved

in a town museum known
as the Monster Mart.

Are these
strange footprints proof

that a giant, hairy beast
roams the swamplands

of Southwest Arkansas?

Perhaps. But, of course,

many residents
don't need convincing,

because they claim

to have actually seen
the Fouke Monster

with their own eyes.

Back in the early '70s,

my friend Karen
and I were riding

in the back of a pickup truck.

And all of a sudden,

we saw this thing step
out from behind a big tree.

It was probably about
three and a half feet

across the shoulders.

And it turned and
took another step

and was gone into
the plum thicket.

That's why we never went in
the woods anymore after that,

'cause we... we
knew how big it was,

and that thing could
snap you like a twig.

About
2004, I'm in a little canoe,

and I hear splashes.

I could see the image,

the silhouette of
something with two legs

standing up.

This thing was hairy.
It's big legs, big trunk.

It was very impressive-looking.

After a while, he
just turned around

and just walked
off in the marsh,

and I didn't see him again.

Now, I, at that point, never
believed in the monster,

or that there was
something else out there.

But my mind started getting open

to the possibility
at that point.

For the
residents of Fouke, Arkansas,

the possibility that an
unidentified creature

could dwell in their midst
is simply part of living

in this rural community.

And many believe
that the monster is

not only real, but
also quite dangerous.

The most infamous incident

that cemented the
Fouke Monster's

menacing reputation
occurred on May 2, 1971,

when it reportedly attacked a
local man named Bobby Ford.

One of the most sensational

and well-known encounters
with the Fouke Monster

originates at what's
known as the Ford house.

On a Saturday night,
the Ford family started

to hear something creeping
around on the porch.

And all of a sudden,

this big, hairy hand came
in through the window.

Bobby Ford went
outside and shot at it.

All of a sudden,
something ran out

from beside the house
and attacked him.

He barely managed to escape,

and whatever had happened
shook him up so bad

that they ended up
having to transport him

to the Texarkana Hospital,

where he was treated
for shock and injuries

as a result of this attack.

The Fords found
a strange footprint

which looked large and
somewhat human-like,

yet had three toes.

And so, something very scary

and something very
unexplainable happened.

The attack on
Bobby Ford made headlines

around the country,

due to the sensational
nature of the story,

and because shortly
after it took place,

physical evidence was recovered

which seemed to corroborate
the Ford family's claims.

Following the publicity
around the Ford incident,

a farmer found a
track line of footprints

that went across
a soybean field,

and these tracks were
roughly human-shaped,

yet had three toes.

And this was investigated

by the Miller County
Sheriff's Office,

the game warden,
wildlife officials,

and none of them
could really explain

what the heck
these footprints were.

So, that built credibility to
what the Fords were saying.

Perhaps
what's even more remarkable

than the fact that inexplicable,
three-toed tracks were found

shortly after the Ford
incident is that a plaster cast

of those footprints
can still be seen today

in the Monster Mart.

While the
outside world may be skeptical,

many people in Fouke,
Arkansas remain utterly convinced

that their town is
home to a monster

that is not the stuff
of myth and legend,

but rather flesh and blood.

But there's another
legendary monster

that inspires
nothing but terror,

because it's said to be so evil

that it can drive
ordinary people

to commit... unspeakable acts.

- A
- group of psychiatrists

from the University of Miami
School of Medicine publish

an intriguing and
unsettling study.

Their report documents
a rare mental illness

that is known as
Windigo Psychosis.

Windigo psychosis
is a kind of controversial condition

in which a person
is believed to have

intense cravings
for human flesh.

This could result
from isolation,

lack of food, in which
a person ends up

getting a condition
of high anxiety

that just sort of comes out

in this bizarre
cannibalistic craving.

While Windigo
Psychosis continues to be studied

by medical professionals...

the name of this
disturbing condition

actually has its origins
in Native American lore.

For centuries, when
native people heard

the word "windigo,"
they understood it to be

not a form of mental illness

but rather a terrifying monster.

The windigo is a creature

that comes to us from
Algonquin tradition.

So the Ojibwe People,

the Cree People right
around the Great Lakes area,

in both the U.S. and in Canada.

This is an area of the world...

The Great Lakes region...
Where winters are harsh.

And starvation... that
was a common thing.

The key theme to
the windigo story is

that this is a creature
that eats human beings.

"Windigo" is a word from
the Algonquin language,

which translates into "evil
spirit that devours mankind."

Descriptions of the creature
vary from tribe to tribe,

but in general, the
windigo is a very tall giant

with glowing red eyes,

rows of sharp teeth, and
an extremely long tongue.

Many cultures believe
that the windigo is

the most fearsome
and deadly creature

ever to set foot
in North America.

It has an insatiable
hunger for human flesh.

The more it eats,
the bigger it becomes.

A skeletal monster
that becomes bigger and stronger

with each human it devours?

It's undoubtedly
terrifying, to say the least.

But could the legend of
the windigo actually be true?

Well, according to
Native American tradition,

it is.

And perhaps the
most haunting part

of the legend is that these
hideous creatures were once

human beings.

According to
the Native American stories,

the process for somebody
becoming a windigo is either

an evil spirit
possesses the person

and then becomes the windigo

or the person simply

transforms into the monster.

If you dreamed of the windigo,

that would welcome the
windigo to come and attack you.

So, there were multiple ways

that you could be
possessed by the windigo.

While Native American legends

of windigo transformations
might be easily dismissed

as parables rather
than real events,

that may not be the case.

Perhaps the most
compelling argument

that windigo possession
is in fact real can be found

by examining the horrific story

of a 19th century Cree
trapper named Swift Runner.

The story of Swift Runner
is one of the most gruesome

and heartbreaking tales of a
person becoming a windigo.

During the winter
of 1878 and '79,

Swift Runner took
off with his family

to their winter hunting grounds.

But then the game disappeared.

Times were tough
and food was scarce.

During this particularly
brutal winter,

he actually killed and ate
his wife and his children.

And according to the story,

Swift Runner been possessed
by the spirit of the windigo.

Swift Runner said

an evil presence overcame him.

When authorities took
him back to the grounds,

they discovered something
out of a horror movie.

Bones thrown all
about, skulls everywhere.

He was eventually arrested
and sent to Edmonton,

and was hanged
for being a windigo.

Did Swift Runner
commit shocking crimes

because he was
possessed by the windigo,

as some people
believed at the time?

Or was he simply afflicted with
an extreme form of psychosis,

as the modern medical
community now claims?

Just like many tales regarding
monsters of myth and legend,

the truth remains elusive.

The key defining
feature of the windigo

is about cannibalism.

We can see that as a
supernatural creature

or we can see it as
a medical condition.

But as far as anyone can
tell, the windigo psychosis

is pretty specific
to that cultural area.

And there are things known
as culture-bound conditions

that only happen to people
from a given cultural background.

The fact that we have science

referring to the windigo...

It doesn't prove that
the windigo exists,

but it just underscores
the fact that the windigo

has transformed from
Native American tales

to something we're talking
about in modern times.

Is the windigo a real creature
made of flesh and blood

or a menace that dwells
within the human mind?

Or a menace that dwells
within the human mind?

In either case, it
embodies pure terror.

Not unlike a
massive, winged beast

that, in 1909, incited
such widespread panic

that a $100,000
reward was offered

to anyone who could slay it.

The hideous monster
was known as...

the snallygaster.

The residents of this quaint

rural community are shocked
to read an unsettling report

in a local newspaper named
the Middletown Valley Register.

An eyewitness claims

to have seen a gigantic flying
monster soaring in the sky.

The creature appeared
to have bronze wings,

an enormous horned
head and a 20-foot-long tail.

This hideous beast was
referred to as the "snallygaster."

The first documented reports

of the snallygaster
started in 1909.

And then it just kept
getting printed again,

different sightings
throughout the area,

mischief that it was causing.

It was described as
this dragon-like creature

with a beak and tentacles
and razor-sharp claws

and all kinds of
terrifying things.

And then it escalated from,

"I saw it flying over
the mountain" to

"It killed my chickens and
destroyed part of my barn."

So it definitely escalated
into a frenzy where people

were truly afraid.

In 1909, people
of Frederick County

were seeing the
snallygaster everywhere.

It was out in farm fields,
it was crossing roads,

people were taking shots at it.

They would say that their
bullets would bounce off

of its skin as though it
had a scale-like armor.

Newspaper
coverage about the snallygaster

terrorized people
throughout Frederick County.

But the panic escalated

when a report surfaced
that the winged freak

had actually killed

a human being.

There is one death
blamed on the snallygaster.

It was a Middletown
man named Bill Gifferson.

People found the body,

had no idea how this happened,

and eyewitnesses
said that it was

a snallygaster that got
hold of him in the night.

Allegedly, the
gentleman was scooped up,

his jugular vein
bitten by the creature,

drained of his blood,

and his body was
discarded on a hillside.

Bill Gifferson's
death actually led

to more horrifying
kind of media coverage,

telling people to stay
inside and to be afraid

and watch out for it.

And especially once it got dark.

As reports of
the snallygaster circulated,

the monster famously
drew the attention

of a very powerful person
who loved to hunt big game.

The 26th president
of the United States:

Theodore Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt

was ready to pick up his
gun and go down and shoot it.

He was ready to cancel
trips he already had planned

to take on this creature.

Now, in the end,
Teddy Roosevelt said,

"I don't need to
march to Maryland

and kill this thing
myself anymore."

But it was a big deal
when it happened.

It's easy to assume

that the frenzy
surrounding the snallygaster

in 1909 was simply the
result of mass hysteria.

But the history of this
part of Maryland suggests

that the truth may
be far more intriguing.

Because, during the 1700s,

German colonists
living in this area

also reported a
fearsome winged creature.

Although, back then,

the snallygaster had a
slightly different name.

The idea of the
snallygaster originated

with the German immigrants
who made their way

to the Maryland
area in the 1700s.

They had called this
thing the Schneller Geist,

a fast spirit or quick
ghost, as they called it.

Eventually, that
became corrupted

into the "snallygaster."

It was thought to
be a deadly monster.

And people feared it for a
hundred and some years

before it was ever mentioned
in any known written account.

It's fascinating
to trace the history

of the Schneller
Geist in colonial times

to the snallygaster in 1909.

However, you might think that
as the 20th century progressed,

modern people
would stop panicking

over this alleged monster.

But, in fact, it was
just the opposite,

because in 1932,

it appears that the
snallygaster returned

to terrorize this community.

In 1932, the
sightings began again.

We had a lot more people
going out and hunting

for the snallygaster.

News coverage made
its way even further,

even down to Washington, D.C.

This was not a
small, localized story.

This was a story that went big.

The Smithsonian offered $100,000

for proof of this
creature's existence.

The Smithsonian Institute,

who, if they don't
grant gravitas to a story,

I don't know who does.

What are we to
make of the numerous occasions

in which the snallygaster
has incited widespread panic?

Ultimately, it's hard to
say whether sightings

of the monster were
genuine encounters

or simply the product
of mass hysteria.

But one thing is certain:

the snallygaster
continues to loom large

in the history of Frederick
County, Maryland.

When I moved to Maryland,

I started researching
local folk legends,

and the snallygaster
really caught my eye

because it was such
a big part of history.

So I go to local businesses
and paranormal conventions

and things like
that, to just speak

about the folk
history of Maryland

and how it ties into
the snallygaster.

And even in modern times,

there are people
that live out there

that hear and see strange things

that could be considered
the snallygaster.

So, the fact that this legend
has persisted throughout time

definitely means that it could
still be around to this day.

Whether or not
the snallygaster actually exists,

it remains fascinating from
an historical perspective.

But halfway around the
world, off the coast of Australia,

some believe that a
giant sea monster lurks

in the depths of the ocean.

And remarkably, there
may be scientific proof

of this formidable predator.

The deep waters
of the Pacific Ocean just

off the eastern coast
of the land down under

are world famous
for deep sea fishing.

Here, fisherman regularly
catch a variety of marine life,

including marlin, swordfish,

and even sharks.

But in March of 2019, an
unusual incident took place

when a local fisherman hooked

a 550-pound Mako
shark on his line.

As he hauled it into his
boat, the only thing left...

was a severed head.

The rest of the
massive shark's body

had apparently been
devoured by an even larger...

And unidentified...
Ocean predator.

Pictures went viral
of this mako shark

just absolutely decimated
from the head down.

There was so much
mystery surrounding this

because looking at
this picture of this mako...

This thing looks humongous.

It seriously did cause
some speculation

as to what kind of mega
predator could have caused

a bite this big

on such a huge shark.

What animal could
be so large and so ferocious

that it literally ripped
a shark to shreds?

As news outlets around
the world reported

on the story, an
extraordinary theory emerged.

Is it possible that
this violent encounter

was the work of a
real-life sea monster?

It may sound like
an outlandish notion

but the surprising truth is

that this is not the
first inexplicable attack

that has been recorded
off the coast of Australia.

In fact, scientists have
been actively searching

for an elusive and
monstrous predator

in these waters since 2003.

In 2003, I was
involved with Australia's

premier scientific
organization, the CSIRO.

They had started a satellite
tagging program to better

understand the movement
patterns of great white sharks.

We tagged four or
five great white sharks,

and one of them in particular,

Shark Alpha, was around
nine, ten feet in length.

No small animal by any
stretch of the imagination.

About two months
later, the tag showed

this shark had been chased down

the continental shelf edge,

down to a depth of
around 2,000 feet,

where it appeared to have
been devoured by something.

And that something had
an internal temperature of

around 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

And that temperature, regardless
of where the tag went then,

the depth, that temperature
stayed relatively constant.

It was a bubble of
temperature showing

it was inside the
stomach of something.

What that could
be, we don't know.

But the proportions
it would have to have

to eat a great
white is colossal.

It would have to be massive.

You're really starting to stray

into the realm of
the unbelievable.

So that leaves the kind of

uncomfortable
notion of: what is it?

It's alarming to
think that there could be a giant

sea monster lurking in the deep

that can swallow a
great white shark whole.

Nevertheless, some
scientists claim that

even more evidence of
a fearsome sea creature

lies in the strange
behavior of marine life

off the coast of Australia.

In 2023, a
number of pilot whales

beached themselves on the
shores of Western Australia.

These whales were
huddled in an unusual way.

People got some of these
whales back out to the water,

but they came right back in
and beached themselves again.

What the reason was
remains a mystery.

One of the theories is
that this pod of whales

was escaping something, was
running away from something.

Now, if it was a great white
coming towards a pod of whales,

there's power in numbers.

They wouldn't beach
themselves over that.

So it couldn't have been just
a regular great white shark.

There's no way.

But if it was something

about 65 feet long... maybe.

Is there something
else that's in the food chain

that is literally
frightening them to shore?

Is it possible that
there is something

out here that we literally
haven't seen before?

That's the question.

With so many
anomalous incidents happening

in the waters off Australia, it
naturally begs the question,

are they all connected?

Is there a giant sea
monster that can bite

a mako shark in half,

swallow a great white whole,

and send a horde of
whales fleeing for their lives?

The truth is that, for
the moment, scientists

are at a loss for answers.

And for many, the
possibility that there are

monstrous, undiscovered
creatures in the unexplored

depths of the ocean
should not be dismissed.

When you take into
consideration that we literally

don't know very
much about the ocean,

we only have mapped
something like 20% of it,

and we've only seen something
like one or two percent of it,

there could be
things hiding out here

that we've never seen before.

If there is a
nightmarish monster that inhabits

the ocean's depths, we can
take comfort that it hasn't yet

claimed any human victims,
at least as far as we know.

But there's another
creature that is said to inhabit

the remote deserts
of California,

the remote deserts
of California,

which is even more frightening

because it has
reportedly attacked

unsuspecting people.

This rustic town,
located in the Mojave Desert,

is adjacent to Joshua
Tree National Park.

Each year, millions of
people visit Joshua Tree

to hike through its twisting
expanse of boulders

and oddly shaped trees.

But unfortunately
many adventure seekers

who trek into this
wilderness never return.

On occasion,
human remains have been found

out in the area of the
Joshua Tree National Park,

and these are presumably hikers

who have gone
missing over the years.

So, while it's a beautiful,
striking-looking place,

it's also very secluded
and very dangerous.

It's easy to see
how tourists hiking in Joshua Tree

could get lost and fall
victim to the scorching

temperatures of this
desert environment.

However, some locals
believe that mysterious

deaths in the park
are the work of

a frightening monster,
who is referred to

as the Yucca Man.

The Yucca Man is seen
in the southern regions

of the California area.

Sightings of the Yucca Man
date back to at least the 1960s.

It's described
as being very tall,

covered in hair
over its entire body.

The Yucca Man is
what you might call a desert-based Bigfoot.

People go missing
in the Yucca Valley

and its various campgrounds.

Part of the evolving lore of
this creature is, perhaps it is

preying on humans when it
finds people who are vulnerable.

The idea that a giant
monster roams this remote area

and preys upon
unsuspecting hikers is chilling.

But according to local lore,
another fearsome encounter

involving the Yucca Man

allegedly took place at a
nearby U.S. Marine Corps Base.

One of the more famous
Yucca Man encounters occurred

in 1971 at the Twentynine
Palms Marine Base.

A marine was on night duty

and encountered
this eight-foot-tall

blond Sasquatch creature.

He then became unconscious,
and when he was found,

his rifle was bent in
half with no explanation.

He was unharmed, but it's pretty
scary to think of a Marine being

knocked unconscious
and a rifle being bent in half.

While it's impossible
to verify the Yucca Man's

alleged run-ins with
military personnel,

many locals are convinced
that this dangerous creature

actually lives in
the Mojave Desert.

And like other
monsters that have been

widely reported by eyewitnesses

but not officially
recognized by science,

the possibility of its existence

both tantalizes and terrifies.

We love believing
in these creatures

and monsters because
we love getting scared.

But we also love the unknown.

Not knowing if we've

discovered every
species on the planet.

The mystery is the
best part of it all.

We are often
inclined to see belief in

fantastical creatures
as somewhat irrational,

maybe fantastical.

Something that isn't scientific.

And yet there's news
reports of people

interacting with creatures
that maybe we can't identify.

That keeps it alive. It is not
fundamentally proven false.

And that kind of monster
is what we are continuing

to be obsessed with.

From frightening encounters
with the Fouke Monster

to supernatural stories
about the Jersey Devil

and panicked reports
of the snallygaster,

it can seem like our world is
literally teeming with monsters.

And while physical proof is hard
to come by, the sheer number of

eyewitness accounts suggests
that we share our planet with

dreadful creatures
that remain unidentified

and... unexplained.
