Cryptomundo Bald Beast of KI: it's a mink

"While some individuals writing to Cryptomundo have suggested the mink species specifically as the answer, let me quote from the opinion of an authority consulted by Forgetomori, via biologist Maria Guimarães, who shared the thoughts of James L. Patton, Curator and Professor Emeritus, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California: “[The] mystery critter looks more like a mink than an otter to me (longer fingers, without any evidence of webbing). It clearly was dead in the water for a prolonged period, hence the defurred face and head, and somewhat swollen appearance….If anyone had bothered to look at the teeth, the identification would have been easy, but….”"

Yarmouth Mercury Can you spot the ghost?

"BE afraid, be very afraid because look closely at this photo and you might spot a ghost! Angela Buttifant got the fright of her life when the mysterious apparition appeared on the photograph taken at Great Yarmouth's historic Tolhouse.

What appears to be a ghostly form floating near the lantern in the dungeons of the old gaol was revealed to an amazed Angela when she put the photo on her Facebook website.

And with millions of us signed up to social networking sites it seems that this particular spirit wanted to put in an appearance too.

Mum of three Angela had not sensed anything spooky during the visit to the Tolhouse at the museums night event on Saturday so had a big shock when the spectre was captured on camera.

She said: “My nephew Adam first saw the ghost and when he told me I found it hard to believe, but then I saw it I just went wow. It was a little scary and almost made me jump."

Bryonys thoughts: Probably a rain drop on the lens? snow flake? spider? spider web? To me it doesn't look like a ghost. The object is too close to the lens and therefore the camera can't focus on it giving it the blurry effect. There is something in the top right corner moving in the same way as though being blown by the wind.

ninemsnCambodian "Jungle Woman" back in forest

Cambodia's "jungle woman," whose story gripped the country after she apparently spent 18 years living in a forest, has fled back to the jungle, her father and local police say.

Rochom P'ngieng, now 29, went missing as a little girl in 1989 while herding water buffalo in Ratanakkiri province, around 600 kilometres northeast of the capital, Phnom Penh.

In early 2007 the woman was brought from the jungle, naked and dirty, after being caught trying to steal food from a farmer. She was hunched over like a monkey, scavenging on the ground for pieces of dried rice.

"She must have fled back to the forest on Tuesday evening while she was going to take a bath," Sal Lou, the man who says he is her father, told AFP by telephone on Friday.

"I and my son are looking for her in the middle forest now," he said, adding that he believed "forest spirits" guided her back to the dense jungle.

Local police chief Ma Vichet said the authorities had also begun a search but had found no sign of the woman.
