Awesome Or Off-Putting: Spring Heeled Jack Is Back! (Unless He Isn’t)

August 6th, 2012 By Shawn Lindseth

Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.

Of all the paranormal topics we’ve covered over the past 6 or 7 years, Spring Heeled Jack has been one of our favorites. What’s that, now? You don’t remember him at all? Well let us give you a brief synopsis.

He was sighted all over England within a decade or two of Jack the Ripper. He was known more for scratching and jumping than killing. An original witness/victim described him like this:

“He was wearing a kind of helmet, and a tight fitting white costume like an oilskin. His face was hideous; his eyes were like balls of fire. His hands had claws of some metallic substance, and he vomited blue and white flames.”

And now he’s supposedly been sighted again. Are you curious?

Well by all means click on!

Awesome or Off-Putting: Orange Lights Flying About Missouri

June 6th, 2011 By Shawn Lindseth

If Hecklerspray ever sees a UFO, we’d like to think it would be in Antarctica right after we rescued Agent Scully from said UFO’s iron belly. If any other opportunity ever arises, we’re really not interested.

That’s not true. Really we’d probably poop our pants and stand their crying while any alien orbs scooted by several hundred feet above our heads. You know, like what recently happened in in Missouri a few weeks ago.

You hadn’t heard about that? Well then you’d better click on over to the next page.

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Beast of the Land Between the Lakes

July 19th, 2010 By Shawn Lindseth

That’s a pretty long name for a monster, isn’t it? We prefer something like ‘Nessie’ as it’s two short syllables that really get out of your mouth quickly – but that’s a different kind of monster all together.

You see, The Beast of the Land Between the Lakes, or The Beast of LBL for short, is like a giant wolfman that’s been terrifying people in the area for quite a long time. Nobody’s quite sure what it is – but there are theories…

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Batsquatch

June 21st, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

What a great name, eh? The Batsquatch – part bat, part Sasquatch. It’s like a marriage made in cryptozoological heaven. It exists though – allegedly. It’s been sighted around Mt. St. Helens in the US, and according to witness report – its exactly what is sound like.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Agogwe

March 25th, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

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.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Pinatubo Monsters

March 25th, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

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.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Demon Of Dover

March 25th, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

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.

The mental imagery of a creature called the Dover Demon may be one of a horned, scaly biped surrounded in flames and looking quite sinister. This description, however, seems to be more suited to Courtney Love than the actual Dover Demon itself. No, the Demon is actually described as being about four feet tall with a watermelon shaped, noseless and mouthless head. It was sighted three times in 1977, and people still be trippin’ about it today.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: Two Brazilian Bird People & An English One

March 25th, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

Thoughts of people flying aren’t so strange today. We’ve seen video of big bulky jet packs carrying people all sorts of places through the air – like from a prison on Arrested Development. As we understand it, that show was a documentary, and everything we saw there really happened.

What’s stranger, though, is that multiple people swear up and down they saw people fly without the aid of a device. That’s probably because human/bird hybrids don’t need mechanics to soar through the air.

A Friday Quickie, To Tickle Your Comedy Gland

March 25th, 2009 By Ian Dransfield

There are times in life when things look bad, when you don't see the point in much and when, well, you just downright hate things.

Then something happens that picks you up, makes you happy again and fills you with a beaming smile that somehow manages to envelop your entire body, filling your whole physical presence with joy from head to toe.

Take, for example, when a UFO sighting was reported somewhere in Wales, and this police radio conversation was conducted:

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Fish/Goat/Man Monster of Lake Worth

March 25th, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

Encounters with a paranormal creature usually have one witness. Some kid is out in the wild hiking alone, then wham-o, the bitter stench of Bigfoot fills his nostrils in a face to face meet and greet. The better sightings will have two or more unwitting participants who eventually issue similar statements. The real good kind of paranormal encounter includes a sighting, a local radio broadcast of the sighting, droves of onlookers racing to the scene via automobiles and police running for their lives.

And so it is with the Lake Worth Monster.
