“ALIEN PIG” BORN JUST AFTER UFO SIGHTING!

Now that’s a face only a mother could love! But, who’s the father? Is it another pig or is daddy an alien? This is definitely weird considering the UFO sighting was THE VERY SAME EVENING IT WAS BORN! This baby pig looks pretty similar to the cyclops-baby pig we have on display here at the Museum Of The Weird.

Come check it out!

Residents of the South American village have decided that the pig’s odd human-shaped head is the doing of visitors from outer space, after strange bright lights were spotted hovering in the sky on the night of its birth.

The pig’s head looks similar to that of a human (CEN)

The poor pig, which is one of a litter of 11, has been described as looking like a cross between a human and something from the Alien movies.

Farmer Laureano Escobar Arias said: ‘I was shocked – it was a really terrifying experience.

‘It looked like some kind of alien creature.’

AMAZING UTAH BIGFOOT VIDEO!

This video was posted on YouTube just a few days ago by user “LegoCloneBoy321.” While the shots of the creature are fleeting, it is definitely better than most “Blobsquatch” videos out there.

Here’s what the user posted on his video:

Thanks for the comments that have been received. I do have several more shots of what we saw. Unedited. I’m just not sure that ‘Youtube’ is the proper platform to release them. I am working with a friend of mine who knows more about this stuff than I do. He has advised me to keep the rest of the material unreleased until i have proper counsel. These images were simply a quick snap shots or some of the highlights of the captured images. The entire film will be made public once I have been advised.

Last week in the mountains of Utah. We were target shooting after a long day of fishing. We scared something from the trees. We had two separate cameras running as we were shooting…. None of us slept very well for the next couple of nights. We found some sort or ‘hut’ about 100 yards from our camp and tried not to disturb anything. None of us are believers or can truly explain what we saw. But, we saw something.

Whatever it is, it looks massive! I don’t think I’d be spending another night in the woods after an encounter like this, how about you?

MYSTERY GLOWING OBJECT OVER HOUSTON!

I lived in Houston for the majority of my life and never once thought of aliens or UFOs ever visiting the place. But, as soon as I leave, the craziness begins. NOT FAIR!

This object was seen flying/hovering over Houston on August 29th and has not received any attention yet. I think it’s pretty standard for UFO footage, not having great visibility of the object and being pretty shakey and all. This needs more attention drawn to it!

NEW HIGH QUALITY BIGFOOT EVIDENCE!

Wow! Just, wow! I cannot wait for this full-fledged Bigfoot documentary to come out!

The Calgary Sun writes:

If nothing else, the news is bound to make big strides with the Banff tourism industry.

No longer will Alberta’s best-known mountain park depend solely on breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife to impress visitors and lure overseas tourists.

And no more envy towards other famous vacation spots like Loch Ness and Lake Okanagan, where legendary creatures are rumoured to lurk.

Banff now has Bigfoot. Lots and lots of Bigfoots, in fact.

Yes, it’s an allegation that would have Ripley wondering whether to Believe it or Not, and P.T. Barnum reaching for his cheque book, but the mountains west of Calgary are a hotbed for the huge-footed primates.

That’s the assertion of a dedicated bigfoot research organization based near Calgary, which claims not only to have video and photo evidence of the mythical beast, but DNA proof as well.

MYSTERY FEET KEEP WASHING UP IN VANCOUVER!

What a strange and horrifying find for a little boy! He stumbled upon a severed foot with the shoe still on it the other day while playing near his home in Canada.

CNN writes:

Authorities have found what appears to be a severed human foot this week, the 11th found in waterways in British Columbia in the past four years.

The discovery of another foot, this one still stuck in a running shoe, adds to the mystery that has confounded Canadians for years.

A boy found the foot and leg bone Tuesday near a marina in an inlet called False Creek, Vancouver Police said.

Foul play is not suspected, authorities told Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Authorities believe that because the remains did not have any evidence of trauma, the CBC reported.

The British Columbia Coroners Service has in the past said it was conducting DNA profile tests to determine the identities of the remains.

Some of the feet have been identified through DNA, but the reason they turn up where they do is still unknown in most cases, the CBC said.

HUGE CHILD-SIZE FROG FOUND IN MALAYSIA!

What an amazing find! Too bad it was EATEN!

io9 writes:

When you’ve discovered a 20-kilogram frog with the legs the length of a seven-year-old child’s, do you A.) keep it for posterity; B.) donate it to science; or C.) eat the sonofagun before it eats you?

For one giant-frog-finder, the answer was clearly “C.” A man from the town of Gemencheh in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan claims this is a cellphone photo of giant frog caught by a local Orang Asli man.

GARDENER IMPALES HIS FACE W/ SHEARS AND LIVES!

How crazy is this?! This man impales himself through the eye-socket with pruning shears and lives to talk about it!

MSNBC writes:

TUCSON, Ariz. — An 86-year-old Arizona man is expected to make a full recovery after being impaled through his eye socket with pruning shears.

University Medical Center said Monday that Leroy Luetscher of Green Valley was working in his yard on July 30 when he dropped a pair of pruning shears, which landed point-side down in the ground.

When Luetscher went to pick them up, he lost his balance and fell face-down on the handle.

The handle penetrated his eye socket and went down into his neck, resting on the external carotid artery.

“You wouldn’t believe your eyes,” trauma surgeon Dr. Julie Wynne said in a statement. “Half of the pruning shears was sticking out and the other half was in his head.”

MAN FROM CUBA HAS 24 PERFECT DIGITS!

Hey, we have a similar exhibit here at the Museum Of The Weird! It’s a picture of a football team from 1912 in New Hampshire where every player has six fingers on one hand, including the coaches! What are the chances of that? Apparently, pretty good.

Stuff writes:

They call him ”Twenty-Four.” Yoandri Hernandez Garrido’s nickname comes from the six perfectly formed fingers on each of his hands and the six impeccable toes on each foot.

Hernandez is proud of his extra digits and calls them a blessing, saying they set him apart and enable him to make a living by scrambling up palm trees to cut coconuts and posing for photographs in this eastern Cuban city popular with tourists. One traveler paid $US10 ($NZ11.90) for a picture with him, Hernandez said, a bonanza in a country with an average salary of just $US20 a month.

”It’s thanks to my 24 digits that I’m able to make a living, because I have no fixed job,” Hernandez said.

WHERE’S WALDO? SCENE TATTOOED ON MANS BACK!

Now this man must have REALLY loved those books as a child. He did however, manage to raise money for charity in the 24 hours it took to start and finish this tattoo via donations using word that spread about him doing it. So, that’s a good thing.

The Daily Mail writes:

One Where’s Wally fan will always be able to find his favourite stripy-shirted children’s character – after having him tattooed on his back.

Music producer John Mosley , 22, sat patiently for 24 hours while tattooist Rytch Soddy created a scene featuring150 characters and Wally hiding among them.

The artwork was created in s studio in Norwich and raised £2,000 for charity.
