PHANTOMS & MONSTERS NEWS: Rare THYLACINE PHOTO Uncovered! - WHITE 'THANG' of Alabama - NESSIE Theory Deemed PLAUSIBLE!

 

Rare THYLACINE PHOTO Uncovered!

A woman’s rediscovery of a rare photograph showing a wild Tasmanian tiger has unearthed old emotions from those connected to its extinction. The image had been stashed away for decades after being collected by a man who had seen real tigers in the wild.

Tania Turner, 59, spoke to Yahoo News on Friday, recalling the moment her grandfather, a former zoo owner, passed the photo down to her. He died in 1994, and she estimates she was given it 10 years earlier.

“He gave it to me in a big envelope with some other photos. I believe it came from his father, Montague Senior, who used to go out trapping them and taking my grandfather with him,” she said.

“He never really talked about it much. He thought they were most probably gone by then, but he really hoped they weren’t.” Read more at Rare photograph of Tasmanian tiger triggers warning from families connected to its extinction

WHITE 'THANG' of Alabama

When it snows like this, I always want to find a seasonal Cryptid. For now, as I haven’t had a chance to delve into the Archives of Appalachia in person, my search seems to be rather limited.

However, during my search, I found something curious. While Tennessee has its own Sasquatch, so too does Alabama. This is the first article I’ve written about Alabama. It’s curious (and has been stated before) that the most common Cryptid to be found anywhere in the U.S is a Sasquatch or Bigfoot or, even better, a local name for the creature with the same features.

The White Thang is a Cryptid of Alabama; supposedly, the state’s most famous (according to Al.com who published an article about the creature in 2019). Read more at The White Thang of Alabama

NESSIE Theory Deemed PLAUSIBLE!

A new discovery has proved the existence of the Loch Ness Monster "plausible," according to scientists. The recent revelation in the Sahara Desert makes old Nessie, the mythical Scottish creature, entirely "plausible".

Researchers from the University of Bath and the University of Portsmouth in the UK and Université Hassan II in Morocco made a shocking discovery of fossils of a plesiosaur in the Sahara Dessert, according to newsweek.com.

Sahara was part of a freshwater river system 100 million years ago. The Loch Ness Monster is widely believed to be Plesiosaur as they have largely been considered sea creatures. Read more at Loch Ness Monster existence 'plausible' following incredible new discovery
