Monkey Man

Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster are examples of creatures with a history. Throughout the course of many years, one person has claimed to see it, and this has since been followed by other people. However, not all monsters require time to develop a reputation. Consider the reports from 2001 that a monkey man was terrorizing New Delhi, India.

The monkey guy was described as having metallic claws and monkey-like features. Some claimed it resembled a cat more. Police believed that it was only pranksters. Whatever it was, it spread terror throughout the city, which resulted in three fatalities and numerous injuries from the enigmatic beast.

Armed vigilante gangs were prowling the streets in search of the monster. To find it, they added 3,000 more police officers to the city's force. A 50,000 rupee prize was offered for information that resulted in its capture, and nearly 350 people claimed sightings.

Surprisingly, it was shown that the monkey man was neither a monkey nor a man. There was nothing there at all. They attributed the incident to widespread hysteria, in which dread multiplied and people didn't want to feel excluded. The frantic and violent mobs seeking for a creature that didn't exist were to blame for all of the fatalities and injuries.
