Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Agogwe
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. People are familiar enough with Bigfoot and the common descriptions given to him - that being visually identical to how Rosie O'Donnell would look if she always walked around naked and backwards with her face on the reverse-side of her skull. What people don't often know is that the sasquatch is not the only hairy anomaly out there - oh no. You see, there's also the much less reported Agogwe - an animal that's every bit as hairy as sasquatch but a fraction of the size. There have actually been a surprising amount of sightings of this guy - sightings to be detailed on the next page, sucka.

There've actually been quite a few people like this since the fifties. Here's a short list of some of the stranger ones.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: Gloria-Lee Byrd, An Alien Contactee Who Starved Herself To Death
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Gloria Lee was a flight attendant turned alien contactee. In 1953 she began receiving mental transmissions from JW, an alien entity who lived on Jupiter. These transmissions, thought Lee, were for the good of humanity, and included things as strange as space station designs. When the US government wouldn't listen, though - she began to fast until it killed her.

Imagine, if you will, that you are a burglar of the utmost skill. You patiently search neighbourhood after neighbourhood looking for the perfect house to rob - and then you find one. There are at least ten newspapers on the front porch, mail is spilling out of the box and there are two cars in the driveway with at least a foot of snow covering the both of them. You breeze on into their living room, fill a pillowcase with all their valuables - but then you can't leave because a freaking ghost won't let you. Literally.

If you live in a Filipino village with an economy primarily based on fishing, it could present quite a problem if five monsters suddenly show up in your water keeping everybody land-locked out of fear. Some say this is what caused the current world-wide economic meltdown. Others claim we just made that up right now. Still others claim five snake-like black beasts did show up in the local waters of a Philippine island of Luzon.

The Tunguska Blast may not have been a big deal had Bruce Willis been alive to save the world from it. Well, we say the world, but really we mean over 80 million trees, a bunch of wildlife, and definitely anyone who was out jogging in 1908 Russia miles away from the closest anything at all. You see, on June 30, 1908 in Russia there was a huge explosion way out in the middle of nowhere. It leveled 2,150 square kilometres (830 square miles) of trees - and for the longest time nobody knew what happened. Even after all this time nobody's absolutely sure - but science has a pretty good idea. And they don't think it was a temporary miniature black hole, an exploding alien space ship or Paul Bunyan with something to prove.
