31 Days of Monsters 2014: Fachen

A fachen is a Scottish creature that has only one of each body part, where humans usually have two. Its misshapen features have given it a nasty temperament, which it exercises on wanderers who pass its home. A fachen's stare can send a person into seizures and eventually a coma or death. Fachens, sometimes called Pegleg Jacks can travel very far and fast despite their singular leg, and using crude iron tools, can destroy large crops, or fell an entire forest in one night. When fachens encounter extremely strong humans who are immune to their frightful gaze, the fachen will usually challenge the human to a contest: If the human can cut through the fachen's hair, the human can go free, if not, the fachen will eat the human. This is never a wise wager. No fachen has ever lost an inch of hair to a human blade, but many humans have ended up the main course of a fachen family dinner.

31 Days of Monsters: Day Twenty-six — The Nucklavee

A Nucklavee was one of the most horrible goblins of Orcadian folklore. A Nuckalvee appears as a strange melding of a horse and rider, with flipper-like feet, long clawed arms, and a gigantic lolling head on it's more human half. It would haunt lonely roads and tear unwary travelers to shreds and feast on their remains. A Nucklavee could only be outrun if its intended victim could manage to cross a freshwater stream. It is believed that the smoke that resulted from burning seaweed to create soda ash could drive a Nucklavee into a murderous rampage.

31 Days of Monsters: Day Three — The Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins

In 1955, two families found themselves under siege from strange creatures at farmhouse in rural Kentucky. For hours  goblin-like entities terrorized the residents by peering into windows, and grabbing at anyone who ventured outside. Several of the creatures were shot at with rifles, but bounced back up into the air after being hit, seemingly unaffected by the bullets, and even gravity itself. The arrival of the creatures was accompanied by strange lights and sounds in the sky, which leads many UFO buffs to believe the whole event may have been an attempt at alien abduction by the beasts.
