We have all heard numerous paranormal stories about ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, Nessie, and so on. We as humans seem to enjoy these stories, as they fascinate us for whatever reasons. Even though the stories about many of these monsters have been present for hundreds of years, we still believe in them. In what follows I am going to present you the most popular paranormal phenomena of the modern times.

#10
Little People

It has been discovered that a race similar to the hobbits portrayed in the movies has once existed on earth. Ever since then the scientists have been trying to prove that the stories might have been myths. However there are many people who believe that they were real and that they still exist nowadays. Numerous people have claimed that they have seen creatures similar to the gnomes and to the hobbits in certain places from the world. They stated that these creatures have humanoid forms, only that they are no more than nine inches tall. The people from the Caribbean and from Mexico call them duendes, and it is said that they often break into the homes of the people in order to steal their food.

It has also been said that they have certain powers which can paralyze a person, and they usually use this power in order to make their escape. The scientists believe that all these claims might have come as a result of the fairy tales and of the folklore from various regions of the world. For example the people from Iceland believed in elves, and in order to avoid them, they did not construct certain things in certain regions.  There are many Icelanders who swear that they are real and that they have seen them.

Raptors

The raptors are giant birds of prey which often hunt for food or feed on carrion. They have very powerful beaks and talons and they use them in order to attack their prey or to defend themselves against the predators. The falcons, the vultures, and the eagles, are all considered birds of prey, but many people have claimed that they have seen birds 2 or 3 times larger than these ones. They stated that they have seen birds 5 feet tall with a wingspan between 12 and 18 ft.

It seems that they like to spend their time in Kansas and Oklahoma near the canyons and in the wooden areas. The witnesses have stated that they have the smell of stanched meat, and that they have a prehistoric appearance. The problem is that none of these people have managed to bring any evidence abound them, and because of it, many believe that they are just the modern equivalent of Bigfoot.

#8
Doppelganger

The Doppelganger is a word originating from the German language, and it can be translated as a person’s exact double. There have been numerous cases when people have stated seeing one. You might have experienced this as well: seeing someone you know in a direction, and they moments later you see the same person coming from a different direction. A woman once said that she saw her husband coming home from work, so she greeted him at the door for minutes. He did not arrive so when she called him, he said that he is still at work.

The Doppelganger can be experienced through sound as well. For example there was a case when some people waited for a couple to arrive home for their surprise party. They heard them coming, so they eagerly waited for them to open the door. Minutes passed and no one entered. The couple came home after ten minutes, all of the people from the party saying that the previous ones said exactly the same things and made the same noises when they arrived.  In the folklore it is said that the Doppelganger is the symbol for death, and in fact it is said that Percy Shelley and Abraham Lincoln saw a Doppelganger prior to their death.

Time Slip

Time slips have often been associated with the extraterrestrial encounters, and what is interesting is the fact that there are cases when numerous people have declared experiencing them. This usually occurs when a group of friends or a family takes a road trip. They know that going from point A to point B will take a certain number of hours, but when they arrive at point B, they realize that they have arrived there hours earlier than they predicted. There are cases when the persons arrive at their destination hours later than they should have arrived, even though they went with the same speed as usual.

In most of the cases, the time difference is noticed only at the end of the journey, and it is not known what happened with the time. This phenomenon is very interesting, and currently many scientists are working on finding the truth behind it.

#6
Chupacabra

Even though you might believe that Chupacabra is as old as Nessie, or Bigfoot, the reality is that it was first mentioned in 1990. Ever since then numerous people from Mexico and Puerto Rico have declared that they have seen it, and in most of the cases their descriptions are very similar. The name comes from the Spanish words “goat sucker” and the reason why it received that name is because it is said that it went into the farms of the villagers and sucked the blood out of the goats until they had none of it left.

Some say that the Chupacabra does not exist, and that is only a modified coyote. Other say that he might have been invented because of all the stories about vampires. Once again, proof about the existence of this animal has not been brought, which makes the situation kind of complicated. Despite the lack of proof, the numbers of livestock corpses has increased in the recent period of time. There are cases when the farmers do night-watches in order to protect their farms against the terrible animal.
