As wild as it sounds, there are multiple claims from eyewitnesses of grotesque, monstrous-looking creatures, possibly from other worlds wreaking havoc in this one. Creatures that are so disturbing that encounters with them could even be fatal.

The unsettling encounters we will examine feature creatures whose descriptions are, perhaps bizarrely, akin to the Gremlins from the Hollywood movie of the same name. And not only in their physical descriptions but also in their ominous and potentially deadly mischievous nature.

Indeed, in the very early years of aviation, many pilots, including military pilots, would report encounters with mischievous beings in the aircraft while in flight – beings they would call Gremlins. Some of these apparent encounters eventually resulted in fatal crashes.

Over the years, most would treat such talk as nothing but folklore. Could it be, though, that there is more to creatures who look like real-life Gremlins than we might think, if only in part?

Prepare for three cases, that might just make you nervous to turn out the light:

• Clawed to Death in the Cockpit
• The Hopkinsville Horror
• The Luli Oswald Enounter
