Kielder Castle in Great Britain's Northumberland has been rumored to be haunted for some time, and many paranormal investigation teams have visited the site in search of spooky denizens. However, a recent visit by park rangers detected scores of bats in the over 200-year-old building. Have the antics of bats added to Kielder Castle's haunted reputation? Meanwhile, the furry flying mammals figure into another haunted site, but not quite the same way, as you'll find in The Haunted Church at Skull Point, Jamaica. Should the Northumberland park rangers take another look at their bat photographs?

Workers preparing a site in Dallas, TX, for school construction uncovered a primate skull five feet underground. An anthropologist has declared it to be the skull of an "old-world primate" but didn't settle the question of just which old-world primate it could be. With images. Meanwhile, in a scene reminiscent of last summer's finding of an animal corpse on a Long Island, NY, beach, a new carcass has washed ashore, this time near Southold, NY, and is inviting comparisons, as Loren Coleman reports in Montauk Monster Again - 2009. With photo and video. Elsewhere, at least one minor member of the news media has picked up on Loren Coleman's questioning whether Mothman Sightings Linked to Swine Flu?

Dr. Karl Shuker has been going through the myriad of mysterious animals that swim, crawl, climb, run, leap, swim, slither, glide and fly through South America's swamps jungles, streams, rivers, cloud forests, mountain ranges, high deserts and skies. You've already seen the track of some fantastic beasts in Part 1 and Part 2, and now Dr. Shuker takes you back for more in this wrap-up post.
