The Jersey Devil

Walking on two legs, it’s feet are cloven hooves. It has a face like that of a horse with horns or antlers sprouting from the top of its head. It’s body resembles a kangaroo, with the wings of a bat and a tail like a lizard, its hands clawed talons. It feeds on dogs, chickens, and other small animals. Now imagine being in the New Jersey Pinelands, and coming face to face with this creature – the Jersey Devil.

Big Ed Kemper, the Co-ed Killer

Imagine this. A serial killer is on the loose killing girls from the college you attend.

You and a friend start walking toward home when a car pulls up and the driver offers you a ride. The car has a University sticker on it, so you both go ahead and get in. Unfortunately, you just got into the car with Ed Kemper, the Co-ed Killer.

Peter Frederiksen, The Clitoris Collector

What is the strangest thing you’ve kept in your freezer? For me, it was a pair of pajama pants. But I think Peter Frederiksen takes the cake when it comes to weird. After all, he had 21 clitorides (or clitorises) in his freezer.

The Anguished Man

Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Is it possible that art can take on another role? A supernatural role? That may just be the case when it comes to the painting, The Anguished Man.
