They were short. They were ugly. They were cold. They were on the surface again. It was something they'd been for a long time. They'd existed for so long that they lost their names. Individuality, and thus one stood, very still and almost shaking in it's spot.
It's legs were short, the arms long and lingering near it's knees, fingers long. The skull was large, the body clearly having been larger and shrunk down to bizarre settings. The eyes were large, red and glowing from deep in their skull. To those who had been to hell, they would recognize it as hellfire.
It was old, very old. Old as the earth, Lucifer's child. Lucifer's beauty that was no longer beautiful.
Thick black burned skin, formed what was the figure, and now he made his way up the wall, looking over the room. It was quiet, and it was hungry. It was quiet. He was waiting. Claws out enough to leave holes in the wall, it climbed, setting in the corner to watch the sleeping human.
Food.
If only it could pierce the skin.

White River Serpent - Arkansas
The White River at Newport, Arkansas, was the scene of several sightings in the 1970's. On July 28, 1971, Cloyce Warren of the White River Lumber Company went fishing with two friends. Mooring their boar just south of the White River bridge, they cast their lines. Suddenly the three men were astounded to see a huge column of water belching skyward from a point about 200 feet away. "I didn't know what was happening," Warren later told reporters:
The giant form rose to the surface and began moving in the middle of the river, away from the boat. It was very long and gray-colored..We had taken a little Polaroid Swinger camera with us to take pictures of the fish we caught.
I grabbed the camera and managed to get a picture right before it submerged. It appeared to have a spiny backbone that stretched for 30 or more feet. It was hard to make out exactly what the front portion looked like, but it was awful large.
The Newport Daily Independent published the picture two days later. The White River Monster, seen in the distance, was slightly blurred around the edges but appeared to be a large creature as yet unidentified.

Riverside Sea Serpent - California
California is richly endowed with almost everything, but it is unaccountably short of water monsters. One, however, has reportedly been seen from time to time in Lake Elsinore, near Riverside, since 1884. A lakesider named Bonnie Pray said she saw it twice in 1970. According to her, it is a snakelike 12-footer about 3 feet thick that travels through the water with an up-and-down undulating motion, unlike a snake , which wiggles horizontally. Subsequently, three Elsinore State Park officials crossing the lake claimed that they saw a similar creature surface about 50 feet from their boat. Too bemused for accurate observation, they gave conflicting descriptions but agreed that the thing was very odd.

Lake Champlain, Sea - Vermont, New York
An inland water monster that has never been hooked, though reportedly several times seen, is an elusive creature dwelling in 100-mile-long Lake Champlain, which links Vermont and New York State with Canada. One of the first descriptions of it was made on August 30,1878, by six people on a small yacht. What they saw was an extraordinary living thing with, as one observer said, "two large folds just back of the head projecting above the water, and at some distance, say 50 feet or so behind, two or more folds at what was apparently the tail." Later this monster - or perhaps a descendant - would become known as Champ. It has consistently been reported over the years, and as recently as 1981.

Sea Serpent - Massachusetts
A sea serpent of impressive size was reportedly seen in and around Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, by many persons during the month of August 1817. Prompted by headed debate between believers and skeptics, a special committee of the Linnaean Society of New England collected a sheaf of sworn statements from purported eyewitnesses. The affidavit of Mathew Gaffney, ship's carpenter, typically deposed:
That on the 14th day of August, A.D. 1817, between the hours of four and give o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a strange marine animal, resembling a serpent in the harbor in said Gloucester. I was in a boar, and was within 30 feet of him. His head appeared full as large as a four-gallon keg, his body as large as a barrel, and his length that I saw I should judge 40 feet at least. The top of his head was of a dark color, and the underpart of his head appeared nearly white, as did also several feet of his belly that I saw...I fired at him when he was the nearest to me.
The creature, Gaffney went on, turned as if to charge the boat, then sank like a stone and reappeared some 100 yards away. It moved at a rate of about one mile per two or three minutes.

Joyita - Abandoned Ship
The small ship Joyita sailed from Apia in Western Somoa in early October 1955, bound for another island 270 miles away. More than a month later she was found abandoned, with an awning stretched as if to collect rainwater. A broken pipe had caused flooding, but the cork-lined hull would have kept her afloat indefinitely. The radio and one of the twin engines had failed. Bloody bandages suggested an injury, or perhaps a fight on board. But neither the captain, Dusty Miller, nor his crew and passengers were ever found to answer questions about the last voyage of the Joyita.

Borynski - England
Father Henry Borynsky vanished on July 13, 1953, from his parish in a suburb of Bradford, England. Borynsky had made himself well known among Polish emigrants and refugees in England for his denunciation of the Communist regime in postwar Poland.
The apparent occasion of Borynski's disappearance was a telephone call. "Now this has come....I must go." he told his housekeeper enigmatically. Without gathering any of his papers or taking any of his possessions, he left the rectory and was observed a few minutes later waiting on a street corner.

George - War time
Cadet Richard Cox, a 22-year-old sophomore at West Point, vanished on January 14, 1950. Cox had enlisted int he army in 1946 and served in occupied Germany. Upon entering the academy he had become a strong long-distance runner and abetter-than-average student. None of his comrades knew of any shadowy side to Cadet Cox's life.
On January 7 1950, he had a visitor who called himself George and said he had served in Germany with Cox. The two had dinner and drinks together. The next morning, Cox told friends that the visitor had spun morbid tales about bloody fighting and the murder of a German woman George had lived with.
Nonetheless, a week later, when the visitor showed up again, Cox met with him and said they would meet for dinner. "He didn't act apprehensive," recalled Cox's roommate. "Just sort of disgusted. I guess he just figured it was an excuse to get out and eat at the hotel, the Hotel Thayer, adjacent to the academy." That night, Cadet Richard Cox disappeared; no one remembered seeing him leave West Point or dining at the hotel.
Army investigators and the FBI were unable to make any headway in the long search that followed, although they pursued more than a thousand potential leads. Military records turned up no serviceman in Germany who could be identified with George.

Bermuda Triangle - Florida
The lore of the Bermuda Triangle, the area east of Florida where ships and planes are said to disappear in numbers too large to be happenstance, grew with the loss of Flight 19 on December 5, 1945. Five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale on a 320-mile navigation training exercise that should have taken them east, then north, over grand Bahama Island, then southwest back to base.
Leading Flight 19 was Lt. Charles Carroll Taylor, one of two experienced crewmen aboard the planes. The 12 other pilots, radiomen, and gunners were all students in training. Less taht two hours after the 2:10 p.m. takeoff, radio messages indicated that Taylor had become disoriented; 'Both my compasses are out...I'm over land, but it's broken. I'm sure I'm in the Keys, but I don't know how far down and I don't know how to get to Fort Lauderdale." In fact, anything like the planned course should have put Flight 19 near Great Sale Cay, 200 miles northeast of the Florida Keys.
For the next two hours, fragmentary radio contacts revealed, Flight 19 flew chiefly north and easy in the apparent belief that it was over the Gulf of Mexico and would soon encounter the west coast of Florida. One of the last transmissions from Taylor announced: "All planes close up tight....we will have to ditch unless landfall...when the first man gets down to 10 gallons we will all land in the water together." One flying boat set from Miami to search for the presumably ditched airmen but had to turn back when its antenna iced over. Another took off from the Banana River Naval Air Station. Half an hour later a tanker observed a burst of flames and investigated a patch of oil and debris where the flying boat must have crashed.
As for Flight 19, a five-day search of 250,000 square miles of ocean failed to discover any trace of it.
Over the years, exaggeration and legend have made the story of Flight 19 even more puzzling than it was, embellishing it with hints of UFO's and alleged radio messages such as "Even the ocean doesn't look as it should" and "Don't come after me....it looks like...."

Long Trail - Five years of disappearances - Vermont
Six people vanished on or near Vermont's Long Trail between November 1945 and December 1950. The body of only one of them was found. The body of only one of them was found. The first disappearance was that of Middle Rivers, a 75-year-old deer hunter who knew the region of the trail near Mount Glastenbury very well. State police, solider, boy scouts, and local residents combs the woods after he failed to return from a day's hunting on November 12, 1945, but to no avail.
On a December day in 1946 Bennington College student Paula Wlden told her roommate that she was going for a walk. THe last person to see the 18-year-old alice was a watchman at the local newspaper, who gave her directions to the Long Trail. Despite a thorough search and nationwide publicity, no trace of Paula Welden could be found, and rumors of a "mad murderer" began to spread.
James Telford, the third victim (if that is the world), was last seen on the trail on December 1, 1949.
Early in 1950 Frieda Langer, who was described as an experienced woodsman, disappeared while hiking the trail. Her body was finally found on May 12, 1951, in an open spot in the woods that was apparently overlooked in earlier searches.
When Martha Jones disappeared on November 6, 1950, it was thought at first that she had run off to join her boyfriend in Virginia. When this proved not to be the case, a search was launched with no results.
The last of the six was Frances Christman, who set out on December 3, 1950, to visit a friend three miles away and was never seen again.
If the six cases had no connection other than their location, coincidence was at work on a larger scale. We will never know thy the crimes began or ended: The Vermont forest had yielded no secrets.

Whitfield - 1938
The puzzling disappearance of an aircraft in a densely populated region occurring on April 17, 1938. Andrew Carnegie Whitfield, nephew of the steel tycoon, took off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, for another airfield 22 mils away. He had logged 200 hours of experience in the air and his small craft had enough fuel for a 150-mile flight, but neither he nore the airplane ever showed up again. The public imagination, whetted by the 1930's rash of disappearances and kidnappings, spotted the missing 28-year-old flier everwhere- including Council Bluffs, Iowa, where more than a year later railroad detectives thought they saw him riding a freight car, wearing a soiled flying suit, waving a handful of large bills at them, and smiling.

Dillinger - Chicago
Bank robber John Dillinger, according to authorities, was shot down by federal agents in Chicago on July 22, 1934. But according to Jay Robert Nash, a crime historian, the autopsy report showed that the corpse was shorter and stockier than Dillinger, had brown rather than blue eyes, and showed signs of a rheumatic heart condition, which Dillinger did not have. Was there a cover-up for publicity purposes? Catching him greatly enhanced the prestige of J Edgar Hoover's Bureau of Investigation.

Green Children - Spain
Two children appeared from a cave near Banjos, Spain, in August 1897. Their skin was green, and their clothes were of an unfamiliar material. They could not speak Spanish, and their eyes appeared oriental.
At first they would not eat, and the boy died, but the girl survived and learned enough Spanish to explain that they came form a sunless land, where one day a whirlwind had swept her and her companion away and deposited them in the cave. Understandably, this did little to dispel the wonder surrounding her. She died in 1892, her origins still unknown.
