Altamaha-ha River Monster
Order Print
low resolution on right to prevent art theft
"The mysterious Altamaha-ha is a river or sea monster that some say lives in the coastal marshes and twisting channels around the mouth of the Altamaha River. It is most often seen in the area around Darien and Butler Island, Georgia. A popular part of the culture and folklore of coastal Georgia, it is one of the most often sighted monsters in North America. The region where the Altamaha-ha is usually seen is a beautiful and mysterious estuary known for its vast marshes, multiple river channels and abandoned 18th and 19th century rice fields and canals. It seems appropriate that the beastie inhabits the waters around Darien, a town founded by Scot Highlanders from the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland.
...
When newspapers across the country ran stories about the sighting, other witnesses began to come forward. Harvey Blackman of Brunswick, for example, said he had seen the creature in the 1970s. He said it had a snake-like head and was 15-20 feet long and that he had seen it at a point called "Two
Way" on the Altamaha River. Another eyewitness, Frank Culpepper, saw its wake in the same area. He said it left behind a billow of water so big that it caused boats to bump about. One of the men with him ran for a rifle, but it was gone before he could get off a shot. The reports in 1981 followed much publicity
about the Loch Ness Monster, a fact that raised the eyebrows of the skeptical. It was not, however, the first time the Altamaha-ha had made the news. In fact, a correspondent of the Savannah Georgian newspaper reported multiple sightings of a sea monster on the Georgia coast in a dispatch datelined in Darien on April 18, 1830. The primary eyewitness was a Captain Delano of the schooner Eagle, who saw a monster off St. Simons Island below the mouth of the Altamaha : ...He repeated the...particulars precisely, describing the animal he saw as being about
70 feet long, and its circumference about that of a sugar hogshead, moving with its head (shaped like an Alligator's) about 8 feet out of the water. - Savannah Georgian, April 22, 1830. A hogshead, for those not familiar with the term, is a large barrel or cask. Like the sightings reported in 1981, the 1830 appearance of the monster was verified by others. Five men on the schooner also saw it and a number of planters from St. Simons Island told the correspondent that they had seen something strange as well."

The Travelling Dullahan
Order Print
low resolution on right to prevent art theft
"The Dullahan is a headless rider, usually on a black horse who carries his or her own head under one arm. Usually, the Dullahan is male, but there are some female versions. The mouth is usually in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. Its eyes are constantly moving about and can see across the countryside even during the darkest nights. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The Dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and its wagon is adorned with funeral objects . When the Dullahan stops riding, that is where a person is due to die. The Dullahan calls out the person's name, at which point the person immediately perishes.
There is no way to bar the road against a Dullahan—all locks and gates open to them when they approach. They do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so (often a mark that they are among the next to die), or lashing out the watcher's eyes with their whip. They are frightened of gold, and even a single gold pin can drive a Dullahan away." (Wikipedia)
