Strange Creatures In Our Midst: Supernatural Rather Than Natural

Last week I wrote two articles here at Mysterious Universe on Bigfoot – and on other unidentified apes, too. As the articles showed, the creatures seem to be far more paranormal in nature, than flesh-and-blood (as we know it, at least). I demonstrated that the creatures appear to have psychic powers, can turn themselves invisible, and sometimes have a UFO connection. […]
Now, let’s turn our attention to Loch Ness, Scotland. It too is saturated with paranormal phenomena. The creatures of the loch appear to have the abilities to change their shapes from giant eels to what appear to be plesiosaurs, from huge salamanders to massive frogs, and from – in centuries gone – supernatural horses to beautiful (but deadly) women known as Kelpies. Aleister Crowley – the legendary occultist – had a home at Loch Ness: Boleskine House. It was filled with an atmosphere of supernatural menace. Secret cults have performed rites and rituals at the loch. Men in Black have been seen roaming around. UFOs have soared across the skies of Loch Ness. All of this in one location suggests a supernatural connection between the loch and the the varied “things” seen there. Now, onto the Dogman phenomenon – a bizarre creature that resembles nothing less than a real-life werewolf. In other words, the creatures are said to be huge wolves that have the ability to walk on both four-limbs and two. They are clearly not regular animals.

What all of this tells us is that just like Bigfoot, there are some very strange aspects to the world’s so-called cryptids. Beware if you should encounter one or more. They may not be what they appear to be.

On a few occasions here I have referenced how, in the late 1960s, Loch Ness Monster seeker, Ted Holiday, found himself immersed in a very sinister situation; possible even a dangerous one.
<...>
As Holiday dug more and more into the story, he began to hear whispers of a full-blown secret cult in the area that was – allegedly, it must be stressed – engaged in rites and rituals of the sacrificial type. The mysterious group in question, Holiday believed, was said to worship Tiamat, a terrifying Babylonian snake-goddess, or sea-dragon, who was revered as much as she was feared – and chiefly because of her murderous, homicidal ways. She mated with Abzu, the god of freshwater, to create a number of supernatural offspring, all of dragon- and serpent-like appearance.

If, however, one knew the ways of the ancients, one could still call upon the power and essence of Tiamat – despite her death – as a means to achieve power, wealth, influence, and sex. Such rituals were definitively Faustian in nature, however (as they almost always are), and the conjurer had to take great heed when summoning the spirit-form of Tiamat, lest violent, deadly forces might be unleashed. It was highly possible, thought Holiday, that the monsters seen at Loch Ness were manifestations of Tiamat, in some latter day incarnation, and specifically provoked to manifest by that aforementioned cult.
