Hum Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Residents in northern Namibia, on the southwest coast of Africa, have reported being terrorized by a bizarre dog-pig hybrid creature. The animal is said to be mostly white and unlike anything the villagers have ever seen, with a doglike head and the broad, round, nearly hairless back and shoulders of a giant pig. The beast was spotted chasing and attacking dogs, goats and other domestic animals in this arid region not far from the Kalahari desert. As often happens when rumors of monsters spread in rural areas around the world, some locals have taken extra safety precautions, such as traveling in groups and arming themselves with weapons. In 1995 and 1996, some Puerto Ricans armed themselves against the vampire beast el chupacabra; last year, Malaysian residents patrolled the streets searching for the mysterious orang minyak, or "oily man" creature that had recently terrorized them. What could this monster be? One Namibian official, regional councilor Andreas Mundjindi, was quoted in Informante newspaper as saying, "This is an alien animal that the people have not seen before. We don't have a forest here, only bushes. So, this must be black magic at play." Some people in the area trace the beast to one old man rumored to be a warlock or witch doctor, suggesting it's his pet (or, what witch-hunters hundreds of years ago would have called a "familiar"). The assumption that the beast has magical origins is not surprising. A 2010 Gallup poll found belief in magic widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with more than half of respondents saying they personally believe in witchcraft and sorcery. more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 with more than half of respondents saying they personally believe in witchcraft and sorcery. Step your game up, infidels! Global average is that about 80% of people in the world believe so. Mysterious 'Dog-Headed Pig Monster' Terrorizes Africa Nothing to worry about. Alien space lizard nazis currently terrorize the whole rest of the world. Be happy that you don't got their attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 No -- there are no actual pictures, so they may have been smoking too much reefer. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
