Witness re-creation drawings

Now that Finals are over with, I finally have a little downtime to indulge even my inanest curiosities. I've been Google Image Searching, see, and I've always had a soft spot for witness re-creation drawings. It seems a very passionate form of artwork. I'm almost always mysteriously touched by them, even if I'm rigidly skeptical of the phenomena depicted. I think this may be part of Nessie:



Here is a very nice rendering of UFOs above a stand of trees. The captions are a nice counterpoint to the minimalist drawing asthetic, I think.




This artist invites you to sneak up behind Bigfoot...






















This one warns, DON'T LET HIM CATCH YOU!


Not supernatural at all: handmade monument to air tragedy, November 2001:


This one's really mysterious, as it appears in some foreign alphabet--an account of an alien spacecraft? A rendering of a WWI-era helmet? A haunted soup bowl? Tell me if you can read it.


I'm not sure what's going on here, either--an army of beaver-mounted robots versus the Brontosaurus Brigade and the Deadly Upside-Down Squad? In any case, it's beautiful.

I want to believe in Bigfoot, I really, really do. Alas, I have trouble being simply agnostic about Bigfoot which is weird because I'm the only person I know who has actually seen Bigfoot. I just refuse to believe.
