11. THE WERE-COW
The Were-cow, also called The Cow in the closet is a modern cryptid rumoured to inhabit urban towns in America. Even though some documented sightings date back to the 1960s, this being is primarily a phenomenon of the beginning of 1900s, however the main mystery should be why its fame has largely decreased in the American mysterious creatures annals?, the Internet itself has not many information about it, most of the witness and journalist involved in the case simple have disappeared. The most detailed (and first sighted reported) started in earnest in 1968 with reports coming out of several towns more precisely from the state of Arkansas, of a strange creature (or creatures) that was lurking in some teenagers closets at houses, rooms, theatres and yes, colleges as well. The loss of mental sanity of every witness, mysterious kidnappings and a lactose intolerance epidemic are enough evidence that something was going on. As always the goverment sources denny it everything.
Due was only seen by a few people and always in a short period of time, and though the lack of solid records it is considered one of the most intriguing creatures of modern times; the first sighting was in april 1968 made by 18 -year-old Clense Bimett as he and two friends were working and checking some closets as their repair job in a new but abandoned building north near the city of Des Arc at around 10:30 at night, two of the three boys were shirtless, bald and had pale white skin and hair when discovered at the next day. FBI agents documented and closed the case after a quick show up though Clense Bimett body was never found.
In Augusta city, in January 1973, a man named Nailuj Reklats claimed this sighting (while peeking some college girls through a window) of a middle creature(s) that suddenly appeared from inside one of the closets of that room: "I just… was walking out my journey home and… then I notice the lights on, like a party, you know, some of this crazy music that the teen hear these days and even laughs from inside the room but then the silence and this… cow like creature showed up… and the screams… there might be a dozen of helpless young and not well covered ladies… God… the screams… I couldn't do anything for hers so I descended from the tree I was and I ran home to call to the police station, but when we got to the place, they were all gone… and I mean, all, just some underwear here and there..." Official reports only limited to say that a group of rebel and perhaps drugged girls, destroyed their own room in crazy party before they leaving to New Mexico looking for a new life, abandoning their families, friends and studies. Despite the reputation of the perturbed and chronic alcoholic man, his story was more credible than the final conclusions of the federal agents that came to the city hours later to investigate and close the case.
Another sighting was reported exactly the next day by 17-year-old, Abe Cugned, the son of a notorious officer cop, who said a cow like creature kidnapped his girlfriend while she was hiding in his room's closet while playing some teen's game. Oddly this time was in the Conway town at Foulker, miles away from Augusta but according to the reports almost at the same hour at the night.
Rumors of another sightings persisted into the 1970s, '80s, and toward the end of the '90s. The creature was blamed for teenager abductions in Heber Springs, Clinton, Russellville, Morrilton and Lonoke. In some cases, "it" is said to have frightened reluctant adolescents almost to critic levels with only its horrorous howl. A decade later in May and June of 2000, a rash of new incidents took place in the surroundings of the Searcy county, according to certain rumours there. In fact, some of the most incredible claims and sightings yet came out near of these city: that at least one of the creatures was caught alive by local authorities, however they must handed over to official agencies of the US government and in the actually there are not records, neither graphic or wroted, just the local comments and narrations in little journals. Comparing historic reports, the description of the Were-cow was always almost consistent. This is the creature the few surviving victims and witness alleged saw after the encounter:
· Taller than an average man (seven to eight feet).
· A head and a face like a cow.
· Usually hops about like a kangaroo, but can walk and crawl like a normal person.
· Large, red, glowing and hypnotic eyes.
· Black and White furred skin and hairy arms.
· Long snake-like tongue.
· A strong, milk odor.
· Sharp fangs.
· Cow's hooves.
· Walks on its back legs and holds up two long front legs with Paws on them.
· Three tails? (cow tails).
· Some believe it may even have bat wings about two feet long (not a very consistent description in all the declarations)
· Caused radio and television interferente.
· Had some mind control powers.
· A piercing, eerie but veal howl.
· Aways apears at full moon nights.

What is it? Theories abound, including: an unknown but natural species of new adolescent hunter; misidentified late night worker teen-ager mystic predators; the result of goverment genetic experimentation; an alien; a stalker and masked men; a cursed group of cow skin-walkers. Most serious researchers consider Were-cow merely folklore, perpetuated by over-enthusiastic locals immersed in superstition or a penchant for telling tall, exaggerated tales. But the missing of mostly all the witness and victims, the nonexplained insanity after its pass and the always present silence of the goverment authorities seems to probe the contrary.
Yet you can be sure that we haven't seen or heard the last of this "Cows in the closet", however sad news for the people in Arkansas and specially in Searcy city.
"... Although the traditions, legends and superstitions of North America were then not properly formed, we can be certain that among the earliest notions to strike a common chord was a belief in, and a fear of, the veal-demon. The cow was common and pretty well evenly distributed throughout the North American continent, although it was known only in its natural shape and condition, for the inhabitants were not yet in the habit of supposing that, as in the folklore of some native american tribes, some of this creatures were created when some berserkers wore the skins of cows to take on animal-like qualities but the fiercest were-cows were men, transformed by magic into that shape for the purpose of devouring their fellows, or at least, their flocks and herds. Another legends about their origins proposed that a man could be transformed into the animal he feared most, in this case the cow*; and then the white man, hearing about the strange stories of cow-men among the Indians and relating it to those he had heard even from European superstition, slowly formulated his own were-cow "tradition".—from "The Were-Cow Delusion", Nagiel Woodman**, Searcy Press, 1987
