AUSSIE 'MONTAUK MONSTER?'
A man taking a morning walk on an Australian beach stumbled across a creature that he says may be from out of this world.
Instagram user Alex Tan posted the video of the dead animal or possible "extraterrestrial" on Tuesday with hundreds of people commenting on what they thought it was.
"This is something you see when people claim they've found aliens," he said in the clip. "How weird is that?"
Tan said it looked like a "dehaired possum" but looked different from anything he had ever encountered.
People in the comments said it could be a dead rat or a dead carcass of a kangaroo.
"Maybe a mini Chupacabra," one user commented.
"I am almost certain it's a ringtail possum. Skull and dentition match up, hands look the same and the size is about right too," another typed. Continued reading at Man finds 'alien' that looks like 'dehaired possum' with claws washed up on Australian beach

TALL, DARK, HUMAN-LIKE WINGED BEING Seen in Downtown Chicago Building
Lon Strickler of Phantoms & Monsters recently received the following report from a man claiming to be a former security guard at a building in downtown Chicago.
"Hello, sir. In the spring of 2021, I was working as a security employee in downtown Chicago, Illinois. On this specific night at around 1:30 a.m., I had completed my usual rounds and then settled into the monitor room to check the footage.
After about an hour, I took a walk to start my next round. Sitting all night can get tiresome and I needed to stretch my legs occasionally. I would start at the ground floor, then up the stairwells, checking all crucial points. I'd check the entrances, and exits, check to see if all the offices were locked up and then I would head back down to the ground floor.
When I got back to the third floor, the elevator stopped. When the doors opened, no one was there. I noticed the corridor lights flickering and it felt a little creepy when that happened. I got back into the elevator and went to the ground floor. When I reached the ground floor, and after the elevator door opened, I made my way to the security room to watch the monitors."

DO PLANTS 'SCREAM' & COMMUNICATE?
It seems like Roald Dahl may have been onto something after all: if you hurt a plant, it screams.
Well, sort of. Not in the same way you or I might scream. Rather, they emit popping or clicking noises in ultrasonic frequencies outside the range of human hearing that increase when the plant becomes stressed.
This, according to a study published in 2023, could be one of how plants communicate their distress to the world around them.
"Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don't hear, and those sounds carry information. Some animals can hear these sounds, so there is the possibility that a lot of acoustic interaction is occurring," said evolutionary biologist Lilach Hadany of Tel Aviv University in Israel.
