  • The Minnesota Iceman // 152 // Cryptid // Part 3

    The Minnesota Iceman has been described as a male, human-like creature that is tall, hairy, with large hands and feet, and a flattened nose.  Cryptozoologists Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan Sanderson studied the specimen for 3 days and they believed it was the real deal.  The Iceman was shown as an exhibit in a block of ice for several years.  Could this be the "missing link" between man and Neanderthals?  Or was it a hoax?  That's for you to decide.

  • Hallie Illingworth // 146 // The Lady of the Lake

    In July of 1940, the body of a strangled woman was discovered floating in Crescent Lake in Olympic National Park, Washington.  The cold water preserved the body, but the flesh had turned into a soap-like substance.  It took a while, but a dentist was finally able to identify the woman as Hallie Latham Illingworth.  She had been missing since shortly before Christmas in 1937 and investigators arrested her husband, Monty Illingworth.
