So about 5 years ago I lost my best friend, yes she was a dog. It was a horrendous death, but anyways. About a week after her death my friend and I were doing homework at my table in the kitchen.
So a couple of years back when I was still living at home (we all live in mid-Sweden), I had this room where the window was facing a street. It was some distance away with an area of grass between the street and my window, and my room was also on the second floor, so it wasn’t right there, but it was always out of the corner of my eye. A pretty quiet street with a few street-lights.
There are two known species of cookiecutter sharks: the cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) and the largetooth cookiecutter shark (Isistius plutodus). Both are about the same size—reaching lengths of around 50 cm—and both belong to a family of deep water squaloid (Squaliformes—the dogfish sharks) sharks: Dalatiidae (the sleeper sharks belong to this family as well). The two Isistius species are epi- to mesopelagic creatures; it is thought that during the day they remain in the mesopelagic zone (from 200 m to 1000 m below sea level) and then at night they venture nearer to the surface. This behaviour is known as diel (influenced by day-night changes) vertical migration, and many other mesopelagic creatures, from fishes to shrimps, perform this behaviour.
Martin Nicholas, a water treatment plant salesman, who has a passion for searching for giant spiders, may have discovered a new species, the “Chicken-Eating Tarantula” (shown above).
Nicolas found that the mother spider of this new species was about 10 inches across. This compares well with the record spider, which is 11.8 inches, for the Goliath spider of Venezuela.

The creature
So, this happened to my dad when he was driving back from a job in North Carolina (he’s a truck driver) While he was driving up he noticed a large dog like animal on his side of the road. He watched it as it jumped to the median and to the other side of the road where there was a large fence. The thing is it stood up on its hind legs and looked back at my dad. The creature stood around 6 or 7 feet tall. Anyways, the creature looked away after awhile and jumped across the fence and disappeared.

Overtoun House is a 19th-century country house and estate in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is located on a hill overlooking the River Clyde, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the village of Milton, and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of the town of Dumbarton. The house was built in the 1860s, and was gifted to the people of Dumbarton in 1938. It was subsequently a maternity hospital, and now houses a Christian centre.
Overtoun Bridge, an arched approach bridge over the Overtoun Burn, has gained media attention because of the unusually large number of dogs that have reportedly leaped to their deaths.
