Mystery: Kitsune

Woof.

Let’s take a trip over to Japan. Land of Godzilla, Gundam, and creepy ghost girls. It’s a fascinating location historically and culturally—the latter of those two being the central focus of today’s mystery. I’m sure most of you have likely heard of the Kitsune. If you haven’t, it’s a nine-tailed fox that has become something of a peculiar “waifu” to many who fall into the category of being a furry or a weeb, though you need not be either to appreciate the creature of legend. Now, given my pension for saying that legends had to have come from somewhere, it stands to reason that the Kitsune would fall into that category, right? Well, let’s take a gander at just that.

Mystery: The Assyrian Monster Invasion

There’s a lot of interesting stuff located in the Middle East. Archaeological marvels like the Pyramids, supposed lost cities, religious artifacts, and much more. Geopolitical strife has made the region unfortunately a no-go zone for decades now and as such, discovering the truth to many of these mysteries is, for the foreseeable future, unlikely to happen.

The central focus of today’s story is one mystery that is likely to never be fully answered though. The Assyrian Monster Invasion is a case that reads like something out of a fantasy novel. A mesmerizing tale of killer monsters attacking a town that wreaked unbelievable havoc left and right. Let’s go on a hunt for some monsters.
