Hmmm. They all scare me! :)
The Taco Liberty Bell is the scariest to me.
What a lot of interesting pics. The one I like best (liking to play in Photoshop myself) is the giant skeleton. Good choices for the letter "S".
Gotta say that thing washed up on the beach all bloated like that. Your post was definitely "Shocking"....lol....That's why I love Alphabe-Thursday.
Wow! They ALL scare me!
Fantastic post - so convincing! :D
I read about the Montauk Monster when it washed up. People always want to believe weird stuff!
The Montauk Monster because it looks like the decaying corpse of a horse. Ewwwwwww.
I think it's the runaway bride...
Her eyes are downright scary....
shudder...
That bride - imagine how relieved the grooms mum must have been! :)
Very interesting! Those are quite the collection.

I went to check out some of these to see if they were hoaxes or to get more of the story. Great post!

Gruesome daaaaaahling. I thought I recognised that monster as my sister in law... but she is alive.
*kisses* HH
I remember seeing some of those on the news! Wow, our world is full of hoaxes isn't it? Funny how so many of them involve monsters. Fun post!
*S*uperb *S* post! :-)
Great hoaxes - scary then, a good laugh now!
Such a scary link to Alphabe-Thursday's letter "S".
Some of these gave me the willies and some of them just made me smile.
Thanks for a really stupendeous link this week.
I appreciate the smile and the distraction!
A+
Such a lot of food for thought (and further exploring) here!Great post.

The Hitler diary caught my attention! I saw an autographed copy of Mein Kompf at a local antique shop last summer. I wonder if it was real or fake?
Scary!!
some of those are really creepy! but that Montauk Monster is truly the creepiest!
Hi Nora and Lola,
Such a great post and so many scary things here.
That Montauk is so awful.
Thanks for sharing this and wouldn't Stern magazine be annoyed buying the forged Hitler Diaries.
Have a wonderful weekend
Hugs

Your post seems to prove that we should be wary of what we hear! Great S-post!
Best wishes,
Anna

Freaky stuff, though the crop circles are actually quite pretty! Hope you had a good weekend!
