The Argentinian Goblin: The least spectacular monster ever caught on film



It must have been a slow week in the world of the paranormal. From the once-relevant Coast to Coast AM website to the formerly-interesting Unexplained-Mysteries.com, everyone has been posting stories about the "goblin" caught on film in Argentina.

This non-remarkable video of the grainy and barely recognizable third-world type, much like a Filipino transgendered hooker who professes to be a virgin, has been making the rounds in a sad attempt to convince the easily-duped that it really is all that it claims to be.

In reality, it's just another blurry video showing what appears to be nothing more otherworldly than your run-of-the-mill spider monkey. Even the dog in the video is unimpressed.

Yawn.

Funny. You could be out in the wilderness for a week with an iPhone and not see a damn thing. But step outside for one minute with a 2001 Nokia flip-phone and you encounter Bigfoot, a fleet of UFOs, Elvis, demons, goblins and more chupacabras than you can shake a stick at.

Sorry, Coast to Coast AM, but the only reason we're even bothering to remark upon this unremarkable video is because we find it somewhat remarkable that anyone with half a brain would even find this video remarkable enough to post online.

Obviously, your audience is a lot more gullible than ours.

Keep up the good work. Art Bell must be proud!

The Incest Capital of the World?

At the far eastern edge of Kentucky, nestled in Appalachia, resides Letcher County. In spite of its isolation and poverty (approximately 30% of the county's population lives below the poverty line), Letcher County has managed to grow at an impressive rate, from a population of just 9,172 in 1900 to a present-day population of nearly 25,000. However, even if Letcher County tripled or quadrupled its present population, there's still a pretty good chance that virtually all of the county's inhabitants would be related to each other-- thanks to one particularly fertile family whose astounding rate of reproduction can put even the friskiest rabbit to shame.

Around the year 1900, Letcher County was the home of a man by the name of Jason L. Webb, who made national headlines for having the one of the largest families in the world. According to newspaper reports of the era, Jason had 19 children, 175 grandchildren, and 100 great-grandchildren. Perhaps even more impressive was his b…

Black Eyed Children Finally Explained!

Last month, we received an email from a reader in Michigan, in response to our article debunking the "black eyed children" phenomenon, which links these so-called "paranormal" entities to recreational drug use.  The reader, whom we will call Onizuka in order to protect his identity, claims that not only is he familiar with BEKs- but that he was one.  "Onizuka" agreed to speak with JOTB via Yahoo instant messenger.  Ironically, this conversation took place on 4/20, a date which is embraced by those who are part of the drug culture.


JOTB:Thanks for taking the time to speak with us.  In one of your previous emails, you stated that you were a "black eyed kid".  What did you mean by that?

Onizuka:  Last November I was driving late at night at turned on the radio and came across an episode of Coast to Coast AM and the topic of the show was black eyed children.  It convinced me to do some research on the topic, and that's how I found your article.  A…

Remembering the ill-fated voyage of the Aerowagon

From 1917 to 1922, the Bolshevik-led Red Army battled the anti-Communist White Army during the Russian Civil War.  By the end of 1919 the Bolsheviks had taken the cities of Omsk and Kiev, and had successfully repelled the White Russian siege of Petrograd.  However, the Bolshevik's momentum would be short-lived as the White Army, after retreating across the Baikal, regrouped and joined forces with Gigory Semyonov's Transbaikal Cossacks.  As the Red Army's losses began to mount, especially in Poland, the Bolsheviks attempted to gain a competitive advantage by embracing new technologies, sometimes with disastrous results.  Such is the sad tale of young inventor Valerian Abakovsky and his Aerowagon.

Abakovsky was a Latvian-born inventor who earned his living as a chauffeur for Cheka, the state security organization created by Lenin.  His position granted him access to many high-ranking Soviets and, although details are scarce, Abakovsky most likely used his influence within t…
