Chris LoPinto of Laytonville, CA, had an encounter with a Bigfoot-like creature as fires raged and smoked billowed across Highway 101. The incident took place during the height of the recent "Mendocino Lightning Complex fires" and was investigated by Bigfoot field researcher Tom Yamarone. Meanwhile, from Vermont comes more on the elusive hairy hominoid, reported, with video, in Bigfoot: Man, Myth or Monster?

Ron and Cyndy Schwartz and their three daughters have become accustomed to the weird happenings that take place on a highly regular basis in their Tledo, OH, home. Cyndy has been experiencing the antics of "it" since she was four-years-old. That's when her parents moved into the home following warnings to the previous occupants, by a priest, that what may be a poltergeist appeared to be occupying the structure. What activities have the Schwartzes and others convinced the house is haunted? Elsewhere on the haunted real estate scene, actor Nicolas Cage has his 'Most Haunted' French Quarter Home for Sale, and there's a three-part video report showing Spirits Lurk at Caledonia Wine Cottage.

There's also the tale of the most common bloodsucker, one that may be lingering in your home, and a South American fish that can ruin your life, literally. Of course, there's the vampire bat, too, but with qualifications. Meanwhile, Boston's Museum of Science thinks it has The Truth Behind the Myths.
