Yes, a fake, but I liked it…

Tuyul

The Tuyul is a mythica creature that resembles a goblin or a grey-alien. It can only be seen by one person at a time. The camera-man of THIS video unknowingly spots one while filming his friends (who are unaware of the Tuyul’s presence).

Uuuuuuyyyyyy…

A popular myth stated that French oceanographer and explorer Jacques Cousteau once took a dive into California and Nevada’s shared Lake Tahoe. It was said that his dive in the 1970s brought back no actual documentation about what he had seen toward the bottom of the lake but people have their suspicions. The legend claims that he may have seen the lake’s fabled sea monster, Tahoe Tessie. Other stories suggest he was witness to hundreds of dead bodies at the bottom of the lake. The chilling part of the myth was the single statement that Cousteau was said to have uttered:

“The world isn’t ready for what was down there.”

On 18 April, 1943, four boys (Robert Hart, Thomas Willetts, Bob Farmer and Fred Payne) from Stourbridge were poaching in Hagley Woods near to Wychbury Hill when they came across a large Wych Hazel, a tree often confused by local residents with a Wych Elm.Believing this a good place to hunt birds’ nests, Farmer attempted to climb the tree to investigate. As he was climbing, he glanced down into the hollow trunk and discovered a skull, believing it to be that of an animal. However, after seeing human hair and teeth, he realized that he was holding a human skull. As they were on the land illegally, Farmer put the skull back and all four boys returned home without mentioning their discovery to anybody.

On returning home the youngest of the boys, Tommy Willetts, felt uneasy about what he had witnessed and decided to report the find to his parents. When police checked the trunk of the tree they found an almost complete human skeleton, a shoe, a gold wedding ring, and some fragments of clothing. After further investigation, a severed hand was found buried in the ground near to the tree.

The body was sent for forensic examination by Prof. James Webster. He quickly established that the skeleton was female and had been dead for at least 18 months, placing her time of death around October 1941. He found taffeta in her mouth, suggesting that she had died from asphyxiation. From the measurement of the trunk he also deduced that she must have been placed there “still warm” after the killing as she could not have fit once rigor mortis had taken hold. Since the woman’s killing was in the midst of World War II, identification was seriously hampered. Police could tell from items found with the body what the woman had looked like but with so many people being reported missing during the war, and people regularly moving, the records were too vast for a proper identification to take place. The current location of her skeleton is unknown. In 1944 the first graffiti message related to the mystery appeared on a wall in Upper Dean Street, Birmingham, reading Who put Bella down the Wych Elm - Hagley Wood

Vaya detalle!

The carving inside this wooden ring is absolutely gorgeous! I found the website where they are made: http://www.mysecretwood.com/
