Unusual supernatural creatures that supposedly often faced during the Second world war, are the gremlins. Very often they saw the pilots.

Apparently the gremlins were like a cross between dwarves and reptiles, but sometimes looked like unusual animals. It is through these tales about gremlins in Hollywood in the ' 80s came two of the same name Comedy horror film.

But in 1943 based on the stories released children's book "the Gremlins" by English writer Roald Dahl. Pilots of the Royal air force often blamed these creatures for malfunctions in aircraft engines. Gremlins were blamed for many cases of problems on the aircraft, any strange failures or accidents. A particularly interesting case was obtained from the American pilot, whose name was not called, but which is known under the initials L. W., who during the war he flew bomber Boeing B-17.

According to the pilot once he was faced with a large breakdown during her research saw that most of these gremlins. The growth of these creatures was not tiny to 3 ft (91 cm), their skin was gray and hairless, and his ears long and pointed. The creatures eyes glowed red.

"When I got up, I heard a strange sound from the engine, and the tools like crazy. I looked at the right wing and saw a face looking at me. When I looked at the nose of the plane, there was another face. They were like dancing lizards. I was in myself, my feelings were in normal form, but these strange creatures were still there and they quickly moved around the plane. And they laughed with their huge mouths, staring at me, and tried to pull different things from the plane. I have no doubt that their goal was to make the plane and I fell down and crashed. I finally managed to stabilize its flight and then the creature fell from the plane down. I don't know if they died or jumped on another plane. No idea what happened."

During the Second World war from different pilots received similar messages and have remained a mystery if it was a real creature, or it was all an illusion tortured mind of tired people.
