A puzzling mystery creature filmed in Argentina, ancient carvings of faces that were found in Brazil, and a New Zealand city plagued by the music of Celine Dion were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
A pair of peculiar videos showing possible paranormal activity emerged out of Argentina this past week. First, a mystified witness captured footage of an unidentified creature crawling along a wall in a city and many viewers online suggested that the curious critter could be a folkloric form of werewolf known as a lobizon. Later in the week, an Argentine television program filmed what appeared to be a ghost running along a boardwalk. When notified of what their outdoor camera had caught during the live broadcast, the hosts of the show were astounded and pledged to viewers that they would get to the bottom of the eerie apparition that had made a surprise appearance earlier in the evening.

This past week featured news of a rather wondrous development that came about due to a severe drought impacting Brazil as the significant decrease in a river’s water level revealed a dazzling array of ancient carvings that depict human faces. The mysterious petroglyphs, which are believed to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old, had previously been visible back in 2010 when the country was suffering under similar conditions. However, this latest drought has proven to be even more impactful, which has led to even more carvings being discovered. Archaeologists are now racing against time to study and document the faces before they are once again submerged and hidden from view.

Easily the most bizarre story of the week came by way of New Zealand, where residents of a city are being plagued by an odd fad wherein people compete to have the most powerful car sound system by outfitting their vehicles with giant speakers and blasting the music of Celine Dion. Known as ‘siren battles,’ the strange showdowns have been happening at all hours of the night for the last several weeks in the community of Porirua to the point that the mayor is now calling for police action over the ongoing annoyance. For those wondering why Celine Dion is the favored choice among self-described ‘siren kings,’ the Canadian artist’s songs apparently hit the proverbial sweet spot for showing off speakers thanks to their clarity, high treble, and low base.
