Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge "The Mud Shark Incident" sex tape

Red Snapper Photo by Geeklikepi (not the one used)

On July 28, 1969, what exactly happened at The Edgewater hotel room in Seattle, Washington has been disputed. Factors that remain in the tale were that of a fish, a red-headed groupie, member or members, and road managers of Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge were involved. It would be called the Mud Shark Incident or Shark Episode and there was possibly a sex tape recorded.  There's no denying that this event had happened, but some of the details seem to change or be wrong with each retelling. 

The hotel was on Puget Sound and guests were able to fish right out of the windows of their room. While Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge were staying some of the members had done the same. Led Zeppelin's drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham and road manager, Richard Cole, had done this. When catching them they would put hangers through the gills and hang them in the closet. 

According to Richard Cole, this is what exactly happened.

"It wasn't Bonzo, it was me. It wasn't shark parts anyway - it was the nose that got put in. We caught a lot of big sharks, at least two dozen, stuck coat hangers through the gills and left 'em in the closet... But the true shark story was that it wasn't even a shark. It was a red snapper and the chick happened to be a fucking redheaded broad with a ginger pussy. And that is the truth. Bonzo was in the room, but I did it. The keyboardist to Vanilla Fudge, Mark Stein, filmed the whole thing. And she loved it. It was like, "You'd like a bit of fucking, eh? Let's see how your red snapper likes this red snapper!" That was it. It was the nose of the fish, and that girl must have cum 20 times. But it was nothing malicious or harmful, no way! No one was ever hurt."

The supposed sex tape has never been revealed it's unknown if it still exists to this day.

July 22, 1912, Bloodstains in J.D. Smith's Home

 On July 22, 1912, J.D. Smith returned to his home at No. 420 East Forty-first street in Los Angeles, California. He had returned home from a trip through the state and his home was not how he had left it. It was in a way that he never would have thought of coming back to.

 He first noticed a mysterious pencil checkmark on the front door when he entered the front porch. When he entered the parlor he notice a light grey hat covered in blood. This however was not the only thing covered in blood. There were stains on the carpet, and streaks on the piano. The piano itself was even broken as the lid had been cracked from one end to the other. Oddly enough even though there was obviously a break in there were no signs of anything being stolen.

When he asked his neighbors to see what had happened in his home no one knew. No one stated that they had seen any men or boys about his home. One thing J.D. did note is that his neighbor's doors also had strange pencil marks.

Police investigating inclined to believe that boys had entered the home and started a fight near the piano resulting in blood and broken piano.

Cryptids: Babi Ngepet

Created in Bing Creator

A Babi Ngepet is an Indonesian cryptid similar to a werewolf but with a demon boar. According to legend the creature is believed to be a person practicing pesugihan bab black magic. Which is magic that helps people become rich instantly. In exchange for wealth, something must be sacrificed which is usually their humanity. This allows the person to become a Babi Ngepet where they either transform into a boar or a boar demon possesses them. The boar is described as being larger than the average boar, with a muddy complexion and bloody mouth, sometimes with a human face. 

Some of the stories told about a man enveloped in black robes and an assistant. The man in robes would then turn into a Babi Ngepet, He would then roam around the village rubbing his body against walls, doors, cupboards, and furniture. This was to magically carry away with the villager's money, gold, and valuables. If successful they transform back to their human self and the robes filled with the items. 

While this is happening the assistant would stay home and guard a lit candle floating in a water basin. If the candle is shaking, fading, or almost out that means the Babi Ngepet is in danger, caught by villagers, or returned to being human.

Because of this belief, Javanese villagers will often kill or chase away any boar near the village at night.

Uyan and Dina

Photo by Vera Salnitskaya/Siberian Times

In the summer of 2015, the mummified remains of two lion cubs were found in the Edoma permafrost deposits in Yakutia, Russia ub the Uyandina River. The two cubs were named Uyan and Dina after the river.

The cubs were well preserved they still had their soft tissue, fur, ears, and whiskers intact. Uyan was better preserved than Dina.  It was found that the two were cave lions spelaea (Goldfuss). The two lived and died Middle and Late Pleistocene period on the Eurasian continent between 370,000 and 10,000 years ago and were at least 25,000 to 55,000 years old. This species went extinct around 10,000 BC.

They were fairly young as their eyes were still not open and their baby teeth were still not coming in. It was assumed that they were 1 or 2 weeks old, but after looking in their stomach contents it was believed that they were closer to one or two days old. (some sources state that it was estimated that they were  1 or 2 months old but actually 1 to 2 weeks old). There was no milk in their stomach, but there was sediment combined with them having a crushed look to them it was believed that the den they were in collapse and killed them. It's unknown what had happened to the mother or why she did not feed them after their birth. It's possible she may have died before doing so or maybe for some other reason was unable to feed her cubs. 

Even though the two were greatly preserved we are still unable to tell what an adult version of the cubs would have been. It's possible that the adult version would not look similar to the cub version of the animal.
