The Mongolian Death Worm is a creature of intrigue and controversy. The world is filled with legends and myths of strange creatures that walk the land unseen except by a few. Sasquatch, the Yeti, The Loch Ness Monster, Chupcabra are but a few of these. None have been proven to exist, yet they have not been disproven and in many cases, real evidence exists that point to the fact they may be out there, unseen. One such strange creature is the Mongolian Death Worm. Widely believed and widely feared, is it a creature of legend, or of reality? There are tales of some mystery creature on nearly every country on earth. Throughout this guide, you will learn several facts pertaining to this mysterious form of life.

The first mention that we hear of the Mongolian Death worm is lost in antiquity, but the more recent documentations imply that this mysterious creature may be real. The individuals that gave this creature some semblance of legitimacy were a variety of explorers and naturalists of the early portions of the twentieth century. One example of such an individual is a man by the name of Roy Chapman Andrews. This man was a noted naturalist of his time. He alludes to the Mongolian Sandworm in the book "On the Trail of Ancient Man”, written in the latter part of the 1920s. In the book, Andrews, who eventually became the Museum Director for the Museum of Natural History . wrote about reports of the worm and described it, (as described to him by the Prime Minister Damdinbazar) thusly: "It is shaped like a sausage about two feet long, has no head nor leg and it is so poisonous that merely to touch it means instant death. It lives in the most desolate parts of the Gobi Desert"

Once more, in the early part of the 1930s, Andrews described the Mongolian Death Worm stating that it was widely believed the worm lived deep in the regions of the west, in hidden portions of the Gobi. Andrews, at this point, states pointedly that he did not believe in the reality of the Mongolian Death Worm or any such mystery creature at that point in time. Many individuals that had become fans of Andrews throughout the years based on his prior beliefs were quite surprised that his opinion could be swayed so rapidly. In fact, several individuals simply could not understand his transition from one opinion to another so quickly. However, his change in beliefs did not alter the opinions of those that felt that the creature truly existed.

The worm is described by those who have purportedly seen it as being more than twenty inches long, as round as a sausage and as thick as the arm of a strong man. It has a tail that looks to have been cut off and has no eyes, no nostrils and no mouth. However, there are accounts in which some of the mystery worms are reported to have mouths. Furthermore, it is stated that these creatures have a deep red blood colour that is similar to the color of salami. The individuals that claim to have seen this creature often describe it with precise accuracy and a sparkle of both intrigue and fear in their eyes.

The Mongolian Death Worm is the subject of a great deal of debate. Reportedly remarkably poisonous, it can kill literally anything that it would touch, seeming to have a coating that is reminiscent of sulphuric acid. It is also said to carry some type of nearly lethal electrical charge that renders victims unable to move. Naturally, it is these abilities – coupled with the evil appearance – that results in fear among both humans and other creatures that have or may come in contact with it that make it so frightening.

The natives to the Gobi area have for millennium told tales of the Olgoi Khorkhoi, or the “Death Worm”. These stories brought the creature - whether real or imagined - to the attention of the Western world. It is described as looking very much like the intestines that are present inside of a cow. It has been said that there are spiked projections on either end of the mysterious worm. Everyone with whom the naturalists spoke believed very firmly in the existence of the Mongolian Death Worm. Those who live in the farther regions of the Gobi state that is has been seen and that nothing that touches the animal can survive. In fact, those who were in a position of trust believed so much in the existence of the Mongolian death worm that they convinced many others that this devastating creature did, in fact, exist among the wild.

Expeditions were conducted by many individuals in the years of 2005, 2007, as well as 2009 in order to confirm the existence of the mysterious and ominous worm that so many throughout history had come to fear. Unfortunately, no conclusive evidence was established on the existence of the creature. The individuals that participated in the expeditions spent time interviewing many residents local to the region. While there were some that expressed a disbelief in the creature, many were extremely adamant to the fact that they have witnessed the worm and that the stories surrounding the creature were, in fact, real. The individuals that claim that they have witnessed the supposed “monster” were able to all accurately describe it. In addition to this, all of the descriptions were similar to each other.

Does the Mongolian Death Worm really exist? Is there a snake of some noted poison, that may be mistaken for a worm or is there really a worm that exists in the far reaches of the area that can do the devastating things that have been described? Is this the stuff that nightmares are made of, or worse still, could it be reality? It is not at all uncommon in the wide aspects of the world that some animal long thought extinct, or never seen be discovered. Animals are found every day that have never been seen in the world prior to now. Some examples of these would be the Coelcanth, a fish thought to be dead for millions of years until discovered just a decade or two ago. A type of antelope never before seen was discovered in the middle of 2010. It is not beyond comprehension then, that a creature could exist that had never before been seen by man—the precedent does exist.

Is the Mongolian Death Worm just a myth, a legend spoken about to frighten children, or . is it possible that this chilling and deadly animal really exists in the far regions of the Gobi... waiting? This mysterious creature has captured the imagination of several different people all throughout history. Could it be that people want to believe in its existence? Could it be that people are simply intrigued by such a potentially ominous animal? Is it the human fascination of the things unknown that keep this story alive? It could be all of the above. However, there is one fact that is certain…that the potential existence of the Mongolian Death Worm is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the world.

The Skunk Ape Mystery Creature or Myth? Is the Skunk Ape truly a mystery creature of our world or a myth? There are several witnesses and an assortment of researchers that claim this creature is, in fact, quite real. This type of ape is also referred to as the "Swamp Ape" and many call it a "Stink Ape". This mystery creature is believed to roam the lands that are native to the Southeast portion of the United States of America.

Initial reports started pouring in about witness accounts of the creature as early as the 1960s, but even to this day, individuals still claim that they have heard, seen, or smelled the ape like creature.

A man by the name of Dave Shealy has devoted a tremendous portion of his life learning as much as possible about the Skunk Ape - particularly the ones that are rumored to be native to Florida. This man wishes to bring forth evidence that the creature does exist and educate the general public on the mystery creature. He has appeared on television shows on the Discovery Channel, TLC, Travel Channel, and several others. He has been seen on "Unsolved Mysteries", "The Pulse" and several other shows. He works in the area of Florida known as "Big Cypress Swamp" and actively searches for the mysterious creature.

The Owlman The Owlman is a mysterious creature that several individuals claimed to have witnessed during the late part of the 1970s in the Cornwall village called "Mawnan". This creature is considered to be quite similar to the popular "Mothman" that is often the subject of attention in the United States. It is a creature that is considered to be a "Hybrid" among those that study cryptozoology. This means that it combines the anatomy of at least two known animals or living entities. In the case of this mystery creature, the elements of anatomy that are directly related to humans as well as owls are combined to create a frightening creature. However, the overall size of this animal is said to be equivalent to humans.

Many individuals believe that this particular creature is simply a hoax that was initiated once individuals in the United States started experiencing the famous Mothman sightings. However, there are many eyewitness accounts and personal experiences that make us believe that this is a very real creature to the individuals that live in Britain - particularly in the woods of Mawnan as well as the cemetery that is maintained by what locals refer to as the "Mawnan Old Church". Most of the individuals that have experienced the Owlman firsthand have been found to be young females. The witnesses have been children and teenagers. Seeing that teenage girls are often associated with poltergeist hauntings, many paranormal investigators believe that the Owlman may be a demonic entity or type of poltergeist.

Witnesses claim that this animal has the capability of flying. There were many who believed at once point that the stories were about someone in a costume intending to frighten people. That theory stayed in place until the creature was actually seen flying in the air. The eyes of the creature are said to glow red in color. There are claws on the feet that are very large and are black in color. The creature has feathers. Usually, these are described as being "White", but many have stated that the feathers are actually “Gray”. In addition to the physical description, witnesses have claimed that the creature makes a very frightening and threatening hissing noise when it observes people and animals.

During the time in which the creature was seen most frequently in the Cornwall area, which was in 1976, there were many strange events occurring. For example, the weather would bounce between being extremely hot and extremely cold. Many individuals made several reports during the time that they witnessed UFOs in the night sky. Furthermore, basic animals that usually did not display signs of aggression acted unusually aggressive during this period of time. Could the weather have an impact on the creation of such a creature? Could the creature be related to the UFO sightings? The mystery of the Owlman will continue to spark interest in those seeking to obtain answers to this great debate.

The Jersey Devil Mystery Creature The Jersey Devil mystery creature is believed to be, by many, a very real animal. Many individuals believe that it is simply a legendary mythical creature. The story regarding this creature dates back to the time in which New Jersey was actually a British based colony. A lady by the name of Mrs. Leeds made the discovery that she was pregnant with a child - her thirteenth to be exact. She would often express to those that she knew that the "Devil" can have his take at the child once it was born. Apparently, Satan himself decided to take her up on that and when the baby was born, individuals in the community claimed he was, in fact, a demonic monster!

It is said that the baby transformed into a massive and grotesque monster. It is stated that he had the head of a horse, a body that was approximately twenty feet in length and reptilian based. The humanoid based creature is also said to have had the wings that reflected those of a bat and a tail that was very long and even forked at the end. This creature is said to have remained at the family home for a short time, prior to disappearing through the means of the chimney that was part of the home. It was at that time that the word spread that this vicious looking creature was roaming the area identified as "Pine Barrens". Individuals that lived in and around the small community gave the creature the name the "Jersey Devil".

Stories of unexplained disappearances began to spread in the area. Mostly, family pets and farm animals were reported missing. Eventually, though, children started coming up missing. Naturally, the citizens of the community claimed that the mystery creature was responsible for the strange events occurring within the town and general area. Unfortunately, the livelihood of the community became jeopardized because of the missing animals, shortage of fish in the New Jersey Barrens waters, and the resources being invested in seeking out the children that disappeared in the area. The fear in the community spread so rapidly that even adult men were not willing to venture outside their protective shelters in the cover of night.
