The Slender Man

The Slender Man (also known as Slender Man or Slenderman) is a fictional character that originated as an Internet meme created by user Victor Surge on the Something Awful forums in 2009. It is depicted as resembling a thin, unnaturally tall man with a blank and featureless face, and wearing a black suit. The Slender Man is commonly said to stalk, abduct, or traumatize people, particularly children.

The Slender Man was created in a contest launched on the Something Awful forums on June 8, 2009, with the goal of editing photographs to contain supernatural entities. On June 10, a forum poster with the user name "Victor Surge" contributed two black and white images of groups of children, to which he added a tall, thin spectral figure wearing a black suit.[2][3] Previous entries had consisted solely of photographs; however, Surge supplemented his submission with snatches of text, supposedly from witnesses, describing the abductions of the groups of children, and giving the character the name, "The Slender Man".

The Slender Man is described as very tall and thin with unnaturally long arms, often ending in tentacles. It has a pale featureless head and appears to be wearing a dark suit. The Slender Man is associated with the forest and has the ability to teleport.

The Portrait of the Crying Boy

This is the story of the Crying Boy or, more specifically, The Portrait of the Crying Boy.  According to legend, a fire gutted a home in 1985 destroying everything inside with one strange exception... pulled from the wreckage was an odd painting of a crying child.  The painting was uncharred and completely undamaged aside from a little soot.

As the story goes, the painting passed hands and, in 1988, there was another fire in the home of the new owners and, again, the sole surviving artifact was the painting of the crying boy.

The myth says that the painting of the crying boy was found in the remains of several homes gutted by fire.  One woman even said that she only had the painting for six months before her home was destroyed.

With any urban legend, there is a great deal of embellishment when it comes to the story to the point that it's almost become impossible to tell fact from fiction.  It's possible that there was more than one "crying boy" painting and it's possible that the lacquer on the painting repelled the flames long enough for it to survive.

Whatever the case... fact or fiction... there is one fact that is both insidious and comical at the same time.  When a retiring Yorkshire Fireman was given a framed copy of the painting as a going away gift, he politely refused it.

The Weeping Woman

The Weeping Woman

Although several variations exist, the basic story tells of a beautiful woman by the name of Maria who drowns her children in order to be with the man that she loved. The man would not have her, which devastated her. She would not take no for an answer, so she drowned herself in a lake in Mexico city. Challenged at the gates of heaven as to the whereabouts of her children, she is not permitted to enter the afterlife until she has found them. 

Maria is forced to wander the Earth for all eternity, searching in vain for her drowned offspring, with her constant weeping giving her the name "La Llorona". She is trapped in between the living world and the spirit world.

In some versions of this tale and legend, La Llorona will kidnap wandering children who resemble her missing children, or children who disobey their parents. People who claim to have seen her say she appears at night or in the late evenings from rivers or oceans in Mexico. Some believe that those who hear the wails of La Llorona are marked for death, similar to the Gaelic banshee legend. She is said to cry, "Ay mis hijos!" which translates to, "Oh, my children!"

Nessie

NESSIE

There is a popular modern legend about a monster in Scotland. The monster lives in a long, narrow and deep lake called Loch Ness, near the town of Inverness. Local people call this monster Nessie and say that she is very big and that she has a long neck, like a snake.

But, does Nessie really exist? Some people say yes, some say no. Several photographs exist of the monster, but most of these are of inferior quality. They seem to show something with a long neck, a short body and a small head.

Scientists from all over the world want to discover more about the monster.

They come with sophisticated instruments, powerful telescopes and underwater photographic equipment but visibility under water is extremely poor. In fact, there is only one meter of clear water and the rest is murky.

The legend of the monster started in 1933 when a businessman and his wife were driving by the lake. Suddenly they saw a grey object that looked like a prehistoric animal moving in the water at about one km. away. Then it disappeared. The next day their story appeared in the British and international press and the Loch Ness monster became famous instantly.

Over the years other people say that they have seen something that looked like a prehistoric monster in the lake, but no one has managed to catch it, so the monster still remains a mystery today. This legendary animal attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world who come to Loch Ness hoping to see the monster and decide if she really exists, for themselves.

Maybe, one day Nessie will show her face to the world. Meanwhile, real or imaginary, Nessie has brought prosperity to the area because visitors buy everything from monster T-shirts to key-rings to take back home as a souvenir.

The Bigfoot

Bigfoot, (also known as Big Foot and Sasquatch)

Bigfoot is described as a large, bipedal hairy humanoid creature living in remote wilderness areas of the United States and Canada, specifically those in southwestern Canada, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, the forests of the U.S. Northeast, and the U.S. Southern states.

Some claim it is a creature which may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti,

Sightings have allegedly occurred in Malaysia, China, Russia, Australia, South America and Hawaii.

The majority of scientists rejects the possibility of the creature’s existence, and considers the stories of Bigfoot to be a combination of unsubstantiated folklore and hoax.

Descriptions are widely divergent; enormous human-like footprints attributed to this creature gave rise to the name "Bigfoot".

Individuals generally describe a 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meter) tall, ape- or human-like bipedal creature, broad-shouldered and of a strong build.

All the creature's body, the face, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet is covered with short shaggy fur that is usually black or dark brown.

The footprint is one of the most impressive pieces of evidence. The tracks measure 33 centimeters.

Most alleged sightings have been at night. These creatures, if they exist, could be nocturnal.

According to Bigfoot researcher and anthropologist, the Bigfoot could be  omnivorous. It is probably mainly a vegetarian.

The Chupacabras

THE CHUPACABRA PHENOMENON

The chupacabra (or chupacabras) is a creature. People have been seen this mysterious creature to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.

The name translates literally from Spanish as "goat-sucker."

This creature attacks and drinks the blood of livestock.

Physical descriptions of the creature vary.

Sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s

HISTORY

The legend of the chupacabra began in about 1992, when Puerto Rican newspapers “El Vocero” and “El Nuevo Día” began reporting the killings of many different types of animals, such as birds, horses, and as its name implies, goats.

The killings had one pattern in common: each of the animals found dead had two punctured holes around their necks.

Soon after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico, other animal deaths were reported in other countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Brazil, the United States and, most notably, Mexico.

NORTH OF CHILE

Many residents believe that the Chupacabras is the result of some diabolical genetic experiments gone awry (fracasó) by NASA, or some other U.S. agency.

Residents of Calama and nearby communities continued to blame NASA for the apparitions and attacks of the mysterious Chupacabras.

By the other hand, in Antofagasta one person says the Chupacabra had virtually destroyed his car by making deep scratches in it with its claws. And it killed the cat. But The Chupacabras is still a mysterious creature that only a few people have seen until now.

Legend:

The Trauco is a mythical entity who inhabits the woods of Chiloé, an island in the south of Chile. It has a powerful magnetism that attracts young and middle-aged women. According to myth, the Trauco's wife is the wicked and ugly Fiura. The trauco carries a small stone-headed hatchet that he uses to strike trees in the forest to symbolize his sexual potency.

Whoever the Trauco chooses will go to him, even if she is sleeping, and fall enraptured at his feet. No woman can resist his magical attraction; all have sexual intercouse with him. Men of Chiloé fear the Trauco, as his gaze can be deadly.
