Hebei Sheng

China

A group of scientists from Peking University, led by biology professor Chen Mok Chun, explored several deep-water freshwater pools in the area to film the local wildlife. While the TV cameras were being set up, in full view of the nine scientists, three huge creatures emerged from the puddles and moved towards them.

Stunned witnesses described three huge toad-like, beast-like creatures with grayish-white skin, mouths six feet (1.8 m) across and eyes larger than rice bowls.

These grotesque creatures watched the scientists in silence for a while. One of the creatures opened its mouth and extended an extremely long tongue, which it wrapped around cameras and tripods.

While he quickly grabbed the tripods, his two companions let out terrifying screams, and then all three creatures disappeared from sight.
