US police are searching for a man who bit a taxi-driver on the neck like a vampire.

Officers in New York are currently searching for the male who threatened the driver with a semi-automatic handgun and attempted to rob him.

When the driver refused to hand over his takings, the man lunged at the taxi driver’s neck, back and arms and bit down hard.

The attempted burglar was being driven near the Bronx Community College, when the driver refused his requests and he eventually ran from the scene with empty hands.

Man Claiming to be a Vampire and a Direct Descendant of Vlad the Impaler Says He’s Running on the GOP Ticket in 2012…

When Barak Obama looks forward towards re-election in USA the first threat he may feel is unlikely to be from this potential candidate, but Jonathan ‘The Impaler’ Sharkey, 45, is certainly an ominous presence in electoral terms… a politicised vampire!

Having previously ran to become the Governor of Minnesota in 2006 and also having had short-lived bids for U.S. Senate in 2000, U.S. President in 2004, and U.S. President in 2008, Sharkey is once again lining himself up for the Oval Office.

We have all heard about the mysterious Texas sightings of an unusual creature, often called a chupacabra.  Now, it has been found roaming the countryside in Oklahoma.

This time the creature was caught alive.

The  hairless, scared looking critter was captured on a Oklahoma man’s back porch.

The wrinkly, bald creature was spotted by several people wandering around the countryside before being caught . It is now nicknamed the “Dry Gulch Chupacabra” or even “Kojak”.

There have been similar findings in recent years in Texas. Each time many have believed them to be one of those legendary blood sucking chupacabras.

But experts have been quick to disagree, as KENS 5 reporters have documented in the past.

The Dry Gulch Chupacabra, or Kojak , was taken to a wildlife animal rescue center where animal caretakers had to take a much closer look to figure out what she really is.

At first someone thought she was a baby wallaby, but upon closer inspection they determined the animal was actually a raccoon.

Animal caretakers say the raccoon has an advanced case of mange, but will eventually grow its hair back and look like a normal raccoon.

And so, the mystery is solved…this time!

A Canadian researcher managed to take a picture of the face of the legendary hairy giant – the mascot of the Winter Olympic Games 2010.

Randy Brisson, a well-known Canadian cryptozoologist, shared hot information with his Russian colleagues. The researcher sent a photograph of the North American Bigfoot to Igor Burtsev and Dmitry Bayanov, the directors of the International Center for Hominology. The Canadian took the picture of the creature in Vancouver, the capital of Winter Games 2010.

The Canadian cryptozoologist said that he had seen a Sasquatch peeking out from behind a huge stub in the woods near Pitt Lake. The spot, where the creature was supposedly photographed, is quite far from sports objects.

Randy and his son Ray found big tracks on the snow along a hauling road. The footprints were quite big – it was obvious that they had been left by an adult creature. There were smaller footprints found nearby too.

The toes on the feet of both the adult and the youngster were pathologically angled to one side. The researcher claimed that the creatures were breeding since he had found the footprints of both a parent and a baby.

Mr. Brisson also said in his message to the Russian researchers that he and his son decided not to trace the couple because the creatures, when trying to escape, were throwing rocks at them.

The story may sound very strange, but Burtsev and Bayanov said that they had never exposed the Canadian of any falsifications in their studies of the unknown.

James Cameron’s Avatar may have boasted gigantic flying lizards called Turoks, but did you know they were more than just virtual reality?

Neither did we until we saw this miniature Indonesian version.

This amazing picture of the Martian landscape has got alien hunters excited about the possibility that it shows a silverback gorilla striking a pose on the Martian surface.

The image was taken by the Mars Spirit Rover in the Gusev crater, a crater over 100 miles in diameter that is thought to have once been a lake filled with liquid water.

It’s one of several images taken by Spirit that appear to show a gorilla knuckle-walking across the surface of the Red Planet.

Online sites devoted to searching through pictures of Mars for signs of life have long pointed to the picture as an example of an ‘anomaly’ that suggests Martian life.

Some exobiology enthusiasts have gone as far as speculating that the dark object to the left of the gorilla could be another ape-like creature, the two facing off against each other in an extraterrestrial ape fight. There’s even a YouTube video.

What looks like a ‘big cat’ has been spotted 30 times in West Dorset since Christmas, according to a man who is trying to discover the truth about the legendary big Dorset cat.

Photographer Alan McNamee, from Bridport, is convinced of the existence of the animal.

He has now assembled a team who are ready to respond to sightings as they are reported.

Alan saw the animal close up in 2004 – an experience he said was “scary”.

He said: “I was working late one night at home and I heard a noise. I went downstairs and looked outside, towards the fields at the back of my house, and I saw that the hedge was thrashing about.

“Then I saw a large cat with a badger in its mouth.

“It leapt onto a bank and disappeared.

“It completely shook me up.”

Alan called the police who visited the scene immediately.

He said: “The police returned the next day to have a look at the area [in daylight] and they confirmed that they had found paw prints.”

Alan’s interest has now been renewed after a series of new sightings, and he has contacted a team of experts, including a ‘big cat’ expert and a specialist vet, to help establish the truth.

A humble wasp learned how to use sophisticated antibiotics millions of years before the invention of penicillin, research has shown.

Digger wasps of the family Philanthus, also known as “beewolves”, harness beneficial bacteria to manufacture a cocktail of drugs that protect its larvae from infection.

Scientists who made the discovery believe it could assist the development of new agents to combat human “superbugs”.

The era of antibiotics began in 1928 when Alexander Fleming spotted how penicillin produced by green mould killed bacteria.

But long before, Philanthus wasps were coating their cocoons with antibiotics to fight off harmful microbes.

The insects not only evolved a method of manufacturing antibiotics, they used them in a highly effective way, said the scientists writing in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Just as human experts have learned to do, the wasps combine different drugs that work together to destroy many different organisms.

A mysterious and headless “sea creature” has washed up on the shore of McIvers on the Bay of Islands in Canada.

Local residents were out in force to take a look at the odd animal, but no one has any idea what species this actually is, if it is in fact a recorded species.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Corner Brook intends to check out the Lower Cove site today hoping to find some answers to the discovery by Warrick Lovell on Wednesday.

“It would be nice to see if anyone knows what it is,” says Lovell. “First I thought it was a seal washed up (on the high tide earlier in the day), but when I went down to check on my boat that evening, I walked over to see and then I knew it wasn’t a seal.

“But, I don’t know what it is.”

The creature is described as 15-foot in length, with a 10-foot tail and a single flipper-like appendage on it’s right hand side. Confused residents will have to wait on the analysis of the DFO to find out just what is lurking in their waters.

Reader Chris Holly has sent us these intriguing photographs taken by his father at Ottery-St-Mary in Devon.

They show a single footprint – or rather paw print – that appeared overnight in wet sand that was laid down for his father’s patio. The print is partly weathered by the rain that made the sand wet but its large size can be clearly seen by comparison with a brick placed beside it.

‘My father is not the sort of person to indulge in practical jokes like this,’ says Chris. ‘It freaked him out because the photos don’t do justice to what he originally found. The reason he took a picture and made a comment of his find was the fact that there was only one print. The area was large enough for a set of prints or at least a pair of prints.

‘Like my father I am a sceptic of weirdness but this made us wonder! I have personally done some research and have been unable to match the prints with any known British animal.’

If anyone can identify the print or suggest how just one appeared in an area of wet sand, we’d be most interested!
