Named for its country of origin and not it’s… haircut, the Brazilian werewolf was supposedly recorded on a security camera in 2014. Apparently, the resulting terror caused locals to enforce a 9 p.m. curfew. But while the video definitely shows something, why was the same clip also uploaded back in 2007 to no acclaim? You be the judge.

Some thought that they had found proof of Kentucky’s legendary Goatman, which supposedly lives in a train trestle over Pope Lick Creek, when they saw this cleverly doctored photo. The trestle is real and so is the train. Indeed, in April 2016 a tourist from Ohio died trespassing on the trestle, while her boyfriend narrowly avoided serious injury.

Facebook users began buzzing over a “skinwalker” when this bizarre picture taken near a Native American reservation in New Mexico made the rounds. Though the Native American belief in Skinwalkers, or legendary shapeshifters, is real, this picture isn’t. The image is a still from the 1980s sci-fi film Xtro.

In 2010 a deer camera set up with motion sensors allegedly took this photo of an alien-like humanoid in the woods of Berwick, Louisiana. The confused owner of the camera shared the strange photo with the media and both the production company for J.J. Abram’s Super 8 as well as Playstation, for its Resistance 3 video game, tried to claim viral marketing credit. However, it seems that a Grim could still be out there…

This rabbit-sized creature found in Metepec, Mexico, is said to have been caught in a rat trap and killed with acid. After several DNA tests proved inconclusive, however, taxidermist Urso Ruíz confessed that it was a hoax. It turned out that a zoo had sent Ruíz a buffy-tufted marmoset, and he made a joke out of it for the ranch he was working on. The owner thought he had seen it alive, and the story simply spiralled out from there.

During the 2011 Japanese tsunami, somebody caught several sightings on video of a weird white “spirit dolphin” that seems to fly into the air from the water and then dissipate. Opinions are divided on whether it’s a mystery monster or a gas canister exploding, but so far no professional explanation has been put forward.

In 2007 the Russian media reported that construction workers near Chelyabinsk city’s underground river had found a “prehistoric fish.” The pictures, however, are actually misleading shots of a Triop, a type of small crustacean that has ancestors in the fossil record dating back 300 million years. So it was a living fossil, albeit a scientifically recognized one.

Is this a photo of Donald Trump’s hair finally finding freedom, or the most recent sighting of the Jersey Devil? Eyewitness Dave Black shot this from his smartphone on his way home from work in Atlantic City. Regardless of the photo’s authenticity, though, the infamous devilish cryptid has had sightings dating back to 1909…

A legend since 1345, the Icelandic Lagarfljót worm, a cryptid said to live in Lake Lagarfljót, gained recent acclaim when a farmer in 2012 supposedly recorded the worm swimming in the icy lake. Although there’s no explanation as to what was filmed, a panel of experts deemed it “authentic,” and it has yet to be identified.

A video broadcast on Fox News in 2015 shows a creature allegedly surprising a few tourists when they visited the oldest park in the Netherlands. Loud banging also accompanies what looks like a dark hairy figure peering out from behind a tree. Some claim that the clip is a hoax, but there has been no professional evidence to prove its validity either way.

In Panama in 2009 frightened teenagers claimed an alien-looking pink creature approached them. They then obviously killed it, photographed the body, and circulated the pictures online. The internet buzzed with rumors for days, but a biopsy confirmed it to be nothing more than the corpse of a hairless sloth, bald from decomposition.

After her Californian UFO sighting was dismissed as a rocket test-fire, Facebook user Gianna Peponis allegedly found this dead creature and launched another conspiracy. People took to the internet with cries of “alien” and “government cover-up,” but Peponis had them all fooled. In fact, the original poster was a Missourian, and the picture was of a premature cow fetus in his backyard.

While fishing in Penghu, Wei Cheng Jian made a strange discovery: a huge, gruesome green worm with a shuddersome pink tongue. Even after its mysterious identity was revealed (it was a sea-dwelling ribbon worm), its size makes it fascinating. Indeed, one is alleged to have reached 177 feet in length, even though normally they only grow to less than a foot long.

In 2014 ABC News picked up a story of a Texan family who supposedly caught the legendary vampiric chupacabra and nicknamed the animal “Chupie.” Canid in appearance, but with versatile front paws, Chupie eventually had to be euthanized after experts identified it as a poor raccoon suffering from mange. Still, no DNA tests were ever performed…

No, it’s not an X-rated video. Rather, it’s a mysterious, pulsating mass that a snake cam recorded in a North Carolina sewer in 2009. And while it may not be alien eggs, the gob does have an appropriate name. Indeed, a biologist identified the mass as a coiled bunch of annelid worms, called sluge worms.
