I watched all of these videos, and most of the picts
were familiar, because I've been studying "unexplained"
and "paranormal" phenomena all my life. Most of them
have either been debunked as fakes or explained as
something familiar that's easy to mis-identify as a
ghost, UFO, monster, etc. However, some of the them
fall into the category of "true unknowns", and I've
decided to google up some more details about one of
them, namely the 1864 photograph that seems to show
a number of Civil War soldiers standing over the
corpse of a peteranodon.
Here's an excerpt from the article about it:
"According to the story, the bird was shot down by soldiers during the American Civil War in 1864 near the city of Vicksburg. The story says that the publication referred to the creature as “some kind of unknown bird or monster.” In an interesting twist, there is a second photograph on the Internet that displays the exact same scene, but is known to be faked.
The picture is not as convincing, but was made to look similar to the original for a television show named Freaky Links, which aired on the Fox network. The fake picture shows soldiers standing over a different carcass.
The image is deceiving and the fact that there are two photographs that show the same thing has discredited the original. Whatever the case, the picture remains an interesting story."
Here are the two picts and a link to the article
